The movie: Damini. A hard-hitting fight for justice.

The moment: Can an actor steal the show completely even though he makes a post-interval entry? The answer is yes. The actor is Sunny Deol. Damini and Ghayal are the two other milestones in this action star's career.

In Damini, he didn't punch villains by the dozen nor did he mindlessly gun down his adversaries. But his dialogue-bashing as a lawyer was enough to shut up the villainous and voluble Devil's advocate, Inderjit Chadha (Amrish Puri).

The courtroom scene in which Deol talks about the misuse of tareekh (dates) is explosive. His voice and words superbly express the violent mixture of anger and frustration that he feels.
