80s’ dhansoo family dramas

Here are some good movies which released in the 80s. (The era of smugglers, revenge stories with lower technicalities. The signing stars were Mithun, Jeetendra, Reena Roy, Anita Raaj, Vinod Khanna……)

These are not great movies but entertains you for 3 hours surely. Not having Mahel type homes, designer sarees and kurtas, disco theques…. but containing good dialogues, greeping scripts and overall good performances. These all are family dramas describing love, sacrifice, moral values, envy, hate, generation gap and small and big middle class problems.
