Himmatwala is a 1998 Indian Hindi-language action film directed by Jayant Gilatar, starring Mithun Chakraborty and Ayesha Jhulka. Other important roles were portrayed by Shakti Kapoor, Dina Pathak, Tiku Talsania and Tinnu Anand.[1] The film introduces Rajesh Sharma and Radhika.[2]
South star Tamannaah is among the few newcomers to strike it lucky with a film, where she gets to reprise a role made popular by an iconic actor. She reprises Sridevi's role from Himmatwala in director Sajid Khan's remake of the 1983 hit.

Indian films. And Himmatwala was one of her initial successes in Hindi. I think, what Sajid had in mind was that the actress of his film too should come from a similar background. I guess that's when they approached me. My answer was yes, the moment I heard about the film," says Tamannaah.
Tamannaah's tryst with cinema began at the young age of 15. "I was in school when the producers of my first film approached me," says the actress, who made her debut in a Hindi film called Chand Sa Roshan Chehra in 2005. "I always wanted to be an actress. So, though I was very young, it was a conscious decision to be a part of films." Today, her resume boasts of an enviable line-up of films.
Himmatwala will showcase Tamannaah as Rekha, a rich, spoilt bratty girl. "Director Sajid Khan has been my guiding force," she says, adding "It was essential to portray the right look. Ricky Roy, who is the costume designer recreated the 1980's look. Costumes had to stay true to the era in which the film is based, and yet be relatable to the current audiences."
The Jeetendra-Sridevi starrer was famous for the song, Naino mein sapna which has been recreated in the remake too, with Ajay Devgn and Tamannaah dancing to the classic tunes. "The dance was a very important aspect in the film. It was a challenge as when it comes to dance there is only one Sridevi."
Wronged mother, Savitri raises her son, Ravi to be strong enough to avenge the brutalities they have faced. Added with a Shakespearean sprinkle of Romeo and Juliet, enemies Ravi and Rekha fall for each other giving the film a love angle.
Personally, the film made me miss the intense and passionate actor Ajay Devgn was, before mindless comedies got the better of him! He is obviously way more Himmatwala than Jeetendra was and performs his stunts with inexplicable exhibition of power and strength. Often you might chance glimpses of the serious actor he was, but the script with its dim witted dialogues and spoofy gags kills those moments unceremoniously. The film will be a sad cue for Rajinikanth however, because our leading man won against a tiger, fought off enemies with mandir ke ghante and with such ease picks up carts. All that was left for Khan to make Devgn do was climb Mount Everest without oxygen or feet!
It is Paresh Rawal who once again brings on screen sheer brilliance. As Narayan Das, he easily surpasses Kader Khan who played the loyalist in the original flick. With a perfect sense of acting timing, he towers over his co-actors who have meatier roles in the film.
Jeetendra brought Sridevi to Bollywood with her second Hindi film,Himmatwala . The film did very well and Sridevi overtook Jaya Prada, but [the former] was a better dancer and was thought to have more sex appeal. In fact, she overtook everybody.
For a performer with rare talent and a filmography of more than a hundred movies, Naaz remains woefully under-recognised. Old interviews, blogs and news reports piece together a life of hardship, neglect and lost opportunities.
Baby Naaz was born Salma Baig in Mumbai in August 1944. She started performing on the stage when she was four. By the age of 10, she had become a staple in Hindi films and had even received international acclaim for her performances. For her turn as an orphan who is forced to beg on the streets with her brother in Boot Polish (1954), Naaz received a special mention at the Cannes Film Festival.
Naaz also held her mother responsible for her inability to sustain her fame in the film industry. She had no experienced manager to help her make strategic choices. Her mother, she said, accepted every role that came their way, good and terrible. She had one last chance to make it big, when Raj Kapoor offered to send her to a film school in Switzerland, but her mother refused, Naaz claimed, for she did not know how to manage without her income back in India.
It was with her husband and actor Subbiraj Kumar that she says she found love and acceptance. According to some accounts, it was Kumar who urged Naaz to give dubbing a shot. The two married in 1965 and even appeared in a few films together. But in her later years till her death in October 1995, the closest she came to her early days of stardom was as the voice of Sridevi.
