Shashi Kapoor, Rekha, Anant Nag, Raj Babbar, Supriya Pathak, Kulbhushan Kharbanda, Sushma Seth, Akash Khurana, Victor Bannerjee, Reema Lagoo, and A.K.

Benegal snips away at a richly labyrinthia if tapestry of his own making of two battling industrial families destroying each other, leaving nothing but shreds of torn broken thread.″[3] Anil Dharker, writing for International Film Guide, wrote a positive review, calling it "ambitious" and noting it as "the most complex of Benegal's films so far", which is "carefully paced" and "expertly put together".

Dharker praised the cinematographic work and the acting: "Govind Nihalani, Benegal's regular cameraman, highlights each shifting mood with skillful lighting.

The cast, most of it Benegal regulars, is excellent, with virtuoso performances from Victor Banerjee, and Shashi Kapoor..."[4] Won Nominated
