Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaOn the day of her marriage Hema Malini refused to shoot for Kranti. Hema shot for Razia Sultan in the morning and then sent the message to Manoj Kumar's unit that she was ill and did not want to shoot. The real reason Hema did this was because she was required to wear a white saree for a scene. The saree represented her being a widow. She did not want to do that scene on her wedding day . When Manoj Kumar later found out the real reason for her not reporting to the sets , he had a good laugh and call to wish Dharmendra on his wedding .
- Alternate versionsA scene from near the end of the movie Dilip Kumar's charactor Sanga catches fire while pulling a cart trying to save Minakshi. This scene was cut from the video version.

Featured review
One of the cult classic of Indian Cinema
Kranti is a historical drama film directed by Manoj Kumar It stars an ensemble cast of Late Dilip Kumar, Manoj Kumar, Late Shashi Kapoor, Shatrughan Sinha, Hema Malini, Late Parveen Babi and Prem Chopra.
Sanga forms a group of revolutionaries with the sole aim of driving the British out of India.
Kranti which was a rage upon it's release may be an outdated or over the top film but considering the time the film was released the film can indeed be called as a superb creation if not masterpiece and is now considered as cult classic of Indian cinema. The film indeed has some drawbacks particularly it's sleazy editing which breaks the continuity, the length of the film and the slow screenplay but still the film can be considered as a guilty pleasure for many.
The plot of the film consists of typical 80s plot with revenge, lost and found and off course patriotism and is been executed decently. The acting is good and almost all the characters were impressive and played their part superbly. Music of the film is superb and many of the songs are still very popular.
Despite of some flaws, lazy editing and length I would still recommend to watch the film and see one of the magnum opus of Indian Cinema consisting of many legendary star cast together.
