Dharam - Veer Details

Take a deep breath before settling down with this swashbuckling fairy tale because the action is as spectacular as it is complicated. Wild tigers, wise hawks, wicked princes and heroic gypsies all have their part to play here, but the core plotline concerns Dharmendra and Jeetendra as twin boys separated at birth. One is raised in luxury, the other as a woodcutter's son, but romance and a court conspiracy bring them together. Director Manmohan Desai specialised in lost brother stories with the focus firmly on escapism; with its knightly joust and pirate battle sequences, this film more than fits the bill.
