Elaan is a 1971 Bollywood action film directed by K. Ramanlal and stars Vinod Mehra, Rekha, and Vinod Khanna in lead roles. The movie opens with a wealthy businessman, Girdharilal (Ram Mohan), who hires a group of goons to assassinate his rival, Raja (Vinod Khanna). However, the assassination attempt fails, and the goons end up killing Raja's wife instead. Raja, determined to avenge his wife's death, sets out to bring Girdharilal to justice with the help of his friends.

Meanwhile, a journalist, Radha (Rekha), decides to cover the developing story and begins to investigate the case. She becomes friends with Raja and his group and eventually helps them in bringing Girdharilal to justice. As they get closer to Girdharilal, they discover that he is involved in a much larger conspiracy, and they must work together to stop him before it's too late.

The film is an action-packed thriller that showcases the bond of friendship and loyalty among the group of men who are fighting for justice. The chemistry between the lead actors, Vinod Khanna and Vinod Mehra, is notable as they play characters with very different personalities that complement each other. Vinod Khanna portrays the tough and determined Raja, while Vinod Mehra brings a more light-hearted and comedic element to the film as his best friend and sidekick.

Rekha, in one of her earlier roles, plays the fearless journalist who is willing to do whatever it takes to get the story and uncover the truth. She adds a feminine touch to the otherwise male-dominated film and proves to be an important asset to the group's mission.

What sets Elaan apart from other Bollywood action films of the time is the attention to detail in the action scenes. The film features several well-choreographed fight scenes and chase sequences that are executed flawlessly. The film's climax, in particular, stands out with its intense action-packed sequence that leaves the audience on the edge of their seats.

The film's music, composed by Shankar Jaikishan, is another highlight. The songs, especially "Raat Ka Sama Jhoome Chandrama," and "Mera Dil Meri Jaan" became popular hits at the time of the film's release and are still considered classics today.

Overall, Elaan is a well-made action thriller that delivers on both the action and story fronts. The film's strong performances, tight script, and well-executed action scenes make it a must-watch for fans of Bollywood action films.

Elaan is a 1971 action movie with a runtime of 2 hours and 24 minutes. It has received moderate reviews from critics and viewers, who have given it an IMDb score of 6.0.
