Rajesh Khanna began making a slow comeback at the beginning of the 80s. Betweem 1981-82 he featured in a number of fairly successful films. However, 1983 saw him once again catapulted to the type of superstardom he enjoyed from 1969-75. His films Avtar and Souten were massive hits and Agar Tum Na Hote was also a hit. All 3 were very different films and Khanna proved what an excellent actor he was by demonstrating his broad range of acting skills in them. He also made a special appearance in Disco Dancer in the same year which was one of the biggest hits of the decade. Khanna was truly back with a bang!

Souten has an interesting story line, good songs, drama and some great dialogues. The Khanna - Munim chemistry works very well. All the cast perform well. Padmina performs very well but Khanna is clearly a cut above the rest. Well worth a watch!
