Review:
An Underrated Gem in Salmans career. I never quite understood the sheer indifference by majority of viewers to this film. its an excellent dramatic action film in the mould of Krantiveer and Agneepath with its cynical take on the societal corruption in the 90s.Smart and hard hitting dialogues.superb performances from the cast with a special mention to Kulbhushan Kharbanda and Akhilendra Mishra. But it is Salman who has the best actorly moments throughout the film. His confrontation scenes be it with his father or Villain are excellent. He gets the angry brooding persona just right.If karan arjun was a trailer , this is a full 3 hour film of that intense kickass attitude.. brilliant. If you want to see a performance that demands great acting this film is for you. If you want to see a typical bolywood movie watch some rubbish like chalte chalte or something like that.Salman Khan is brilliant from start to end.His persona, his character and delivery of dialogues hits the mark every time.I know its hard to keep a straight face and he does it successfully, he is a man that disassociates himself with everything yet deep down he is more sociable than anybody.His acting is not over the top, there are slight variations in posture, facial and his language that he uses to great affect to show the characters feelings.Brilliant film. brilliant acting.Sudesh berry enjoyed his special appearance as well Divya Dutta.I have backups of this DVD when I bought i don't want mine getting lost.. Grim and Violent Drama. In this grim and violent drama, Salman Khan plays Ajay, abandoned as a baby and raised by a police officer. Despite his adopted father's kindness, Ajay finds life difficult and grows up serious, hard, and deadly. When he tangles with the local crime boss, Ajay's family and friends are targeted. Ajay then becomes a vigilante and sacrifices all to free his community.Unlike the typical Bollywood film, there is no romance or comedy. It is strictly drama, addressing serious issues such as forced prostitution, government corruption, and the near impossibility of rising from poverty to a decent life. Khan's character carries the weight of the world on his shoulders, and Khan doesn't smile once until the poignant last five minutes of the movie. While this is not a movie I'd ever watch again, it is powerful, and I'm glad I've seen it.. My only review to date. This is the only review I've written to date. The low rating of the film compulsed me to write a review. The film is amazing. One of my favourite films of all time. Some of the best dialogues I've heard. Basically it's a film in the mould of Muqaddar Ka Sikandar (another one of my favourite films). It's about the harshness of life. If you believe that life is always a challenge but you must still do good no matter what the recompense then this is the film for you.
