Laawaris

Laawaris review :

A bad mishmash of Amitabh Bachchan's Laawaris (1981) and Dilip Kumar's Mashaal (1984); this Laawaris ended up being an abondoned orphan at the ticket windows. Akshaye Khanna didn't suit the role of a roadside gunda and his chemistry with Manisha Koirala was zilch. This was Akshaye's first movie with Dimple Kapadia with whom he was romantically paired later in Dil Chahta Hai (2001). Overall, a boring fare. Had seen it in its first weekend at New Citylight cinema, Matunga.

Sanjay dutt starrer baaghi in year 2000 has also same storyline & in both film manisha is there. Laawaris is good watchable film but did not gain success on box office. Songs are also good.

I don't know about the taste of other audience but how can the people do underestimate the low budget good love story and violence situation where a man (captain) who spend his time around bad people called street muggers and take extortion money then a good family come in his area A lawyer(Advocate Anand Saxena ) who is very honest and his wife Mrs. (Kavita Anand Saxena) also a kind woman ,try to change the life of captain ,in starting his didn't take the serious concentrate of their talk then a girl come in his life and he didn't tell her that he is a street mugger who is he like very much , lawyer's wife make him feel that he should change from now ,then After some conflict and fights scene he became a good man then save the girl from the don's son (who the captain worked for before became the good man) then they runway here and there to save themselves from his gang , story very good , acting are superb and some dialogues are heart touching Very entertaining Movie .

This movie has all the elements of a typical bollywood film for that time...attractive starcast, love story, action, emotions, great soundtrack. I really like akshaye in these down-and-out roles and even in earlier roles like these, you can see that he is an actor that is looking for depth in whatever roles he takes on. Manisha's role seems to have been trimmed down quit heavily although she is on all of the movie posters...i guess she is there for the songs. Dimple was great and looks amazing. Jackie was awesome and and looked super handsome. The soundtrack consists of songs that you will play for years to come. Overall a good masala bollywood type movie with the gorgeous and talented Akshaye Khanna!!
