I recently saw The Burning Train again and I'm reminded of why I love the combination of Dharmendra and Jeetendra. Released in 1980, the star studded film was declared a below average performer despite its 100% opening. I don't care about those numbers, it is a great movie...
The story is quite interwoven but in summary its the story of a railway engineer, Vinod (Vinod Khanna), who got awarded the contract to build a train which he names 'Super Express'. This happens to the disgust of another engineer, Randhir, who was also chasing the same dream. Incidentally, Randhir also looses his love interest, Sheetal (Parveen Babi), to Vinod. This makes him plot an evil scheme against Vinod and the Super Express...
It is also a story of Ashok (Dhamendra), best friends with Vinod who meet, fall in love, and get engaged with Seema (Hema Malini) and are soon to be married. Ashok however, looses his father to suicide because he was debt-ridden and further lost all his properties as well as Seema.
Then, there is the story of Ravi (Jeetendra), a common thief, who tries to befriend Madhu (Neetu Singh) in order to steal from her. Madhu had eloped from her arranged marriage with money and jewelries and Ravi had seen this.
Super Express is bombed, goes up in flames, and it won't stop... It is a tale of how these three characters put their lives at risk to save the passengers of the doomed train!
My favorite song is the prayer song by the school children and their teacher - 'Teri Hai Zameen'. It's a very emotional song and the meaning is just wow!...
"You are the Lord of the Heavens and the Earth
You are the most compassionate one
You belong to all, and all belong to you
Be merciful to us Lord
We have come into this world by Your will
By Your grace we have received this body and the life within
Keep us under Your watchful eye
Please take care of us
You may admonish us or keep us close to you
You are the Master of our destiny
This body and the life belong to You and so do all the desires that arise therefrom"
