The burning train produced by legendary producer of bollywood Mr. BR Chopra in 1979 starring Dharmendra, Hema, Vinod Khanna, Parveen Babi, Vinod Mehra, Danny etc. was a hit film. This is a film mostly dedicated to IR, where story revolves around the super express, the fastest train of India (100mph) which was designed and develped by one of the heros and more characters in film are IR personnel. All the elements of the film story like friendship, enemity, love, jealousy, sinister plot, rescue plan, heroic action revolve around railway train, railway premises or NRM Delhi. No other movie is so much IRfied as this one.
The rescuing action is very long and is a small film in itself with lot...
more... of tragedy, plots, love, action, songs etc included in it.
I have seen this movie on 70mm screen (may 1980) in the newly constructed and fantastic ac theater in the city of Hyderabad, called Fareen (its twin theater being Shaheen). I was totally thrilled for those 3 hours and enjoyed it, as the livery of the super express was my favourite orange one, of Mumbai Raj.
