Being a Yash Chopra Move songs are the soul of the movie like any other Chopra’s Movie. Out of seven four songs were very popular at that time and even in these days too.
Story and Screenplay: Story and Screenplay of the movie is written by the ace Writer’s duo Salim-Javed. The screenplay is a very good one and the movie never let you get bored throughout the movie. The script contents pure entertainment and has every masala element for a successful movie. In short the screenplay is a powerful one for 70s.
Acting: Amitabh Bachchan is centre of the movie and the entire movie revolves around him. Sr. Bachchan was heartthrob during 70s and 80s. It was a time when the Superstar Throne of Rajesh Khanna was started stumbling. Amitabh Bachchan is more than an acting school and needs not anyone’s citation for his acting talent. As an illegitimate Son his expressions and emotions are extraordinary.
Sanjeev Kumar first plays a timid young man who is very obedient to her mother and left her girlfriend because her mother wants him to marry with a rich girl. Thereafter he plays character of a rich contractor who wants his jobs to be done on any cost. He is a perfect example of method acting.
Rakhee Gulzar as a secretary of R k Gupta does her job with honesty and as an intense lover of Vijay is good. Though her screen presence is very low yet looks good.
Shashi Kapoor, Hema Malini, Sachin Pilgaonkara and Poonam Dhillon are merely in supporting roles and they don’t get much screen space except one or two songs.
Direction: It was the third consecutive successful alliance of Yash Chopra and Amitabh Bachchan after Deewar (1975) and Kabhie Kabhie (1976). Yash Chopra knew the nerves of audience and he did the same in the movie. The treatment given to the movie is brilliant as such audience know everything even about the climax still they still enjoy the movie till the end.

Amitabh Bachahan was nominated best Actor for three Movies Don, Muqqadar Ka Sikandar and Trishul and he won the same for Don.
Trishul is a revenge drama which is amalgamated with lots of emotions and filmy masala. The movie represents every class of the society like R K Gupta represents the upper class. Vijay represents common man who and a special class of people who could go to any extent to achieve their aim/revenge. Ravi and Bubly represent adolescence generation. Geeta, Kamini and Shanti represent the common woman of the societies. In short the movie is for all with family. Though there are some lacking in the movies too many exaggerated dialogues and sometime slow pace of movie. Inspite of these odds the movie is a very good watchable movie is a worth watching even in these days.
