Movie Review: The Burning Train (Hindi film) (1980)

One of Hindi cinema’s few disaster movies which is not exactly a disaster itself. But neither does it distinguish itself particularly. About the only saving graces to this movie are its wonderful set of key actors all at the peak of their prowesses and looks + technically it is of a certain standard.

So here is some eye candy

And if all those pretty faces make you immune to the nondescript nature of the movie, you are not the only one in denial

And finally, a cryptic credit
