Yaarana

Yaarana is a movie about friendship. Amitabh Bachchan in a powerhouse performance. Alongside Amitabh is the late Amjad Khan in another powerhouse performance. The movie is a simple tale about 2 friends and their sacrifices they have to make to help each other including family and financial situations. Yaarana is a light hearted entertaining movie which gets quite serious towards the interval. Amitabh is always brilliant, but its Amjad Khan who gives a surprising role as a good hearted character. After Many negative roles Amjad Khan finally plays a Good guy and does a Fantastic job of it. The movie was a Blockbuster Hit in India. The music was also a Super Hit, Tere jaisa yaar is my favourite among the songs. This is One movie that i never get bored of it. A big time entertainer and Must see

Definitely one of my favourite movies amjad khan and bachan really shine it is one the most memorable films of amjad khan along with sholay and qurbani. He was one my most favourite actors next to kader khan. They will always be missed indeed.

Must watch if you value friendship and love 80's music

Review By Kamal K

Though this movie was a typical masala film with the then one man industry, I will still go for this movie if just to relive the Bachchan magic all over again. And yes, the real stealer in this movie & a huge crowd puller on its own, was the music of the film. Scored by the very talented & at times under-rated Rajesh Roshan, even 40 years down the line every song of this movie is still so soothing to the ear. I have also read somewhere that the most melodious song of this movie 'Chookar mere man ko' was actually not liked by the concerned producer & is still there in the film solely because of an adamant Rajesh Roshan, supported by who else but the greatest among all actor-stars that the Indian silver screen has seen till date, the one & only Amitabh Bachchan....!

Known more for the novelty of Amitabh as a pop star rather than for the overall quality of the movie. Amjad Khan had ballooned due to the after effects of his Goa accident and his unrestrained dietary choices. This made him looked awkward in many scenes, though he did win an award for the role. Here onwards Amjad Khan's graph as a menacing villain went down and he had to switch to lesser comedic roles. The comedy scenes in the film looked hilarious back in the days but now seems ridiculous and forced. The rest of the cast were ok. Movie is passable but does not stand out in memory.
