Zamaana Deewana

If only you can get past the farcical first half hour then you can enjoy the film!! It's a sporadically smart film, a bit advance for the times it was made.

Directed by Ramesh Sippy, Top Director of films like Sholay, Shaan and Shakti. The movie Stars one of the best actors in Bollywood of the decade Shahrukh Khan. It stars Raveena Tandon, who is quite pretty and their was not much competition. Apart from Madhuri Dixit and Juhi Chawla, Raveena was next as the best. It brings back the successfully pairing of Jeetendra and Shatru from classic film Khudgarz again. It had a clever trailer that made the film seem like a sure Super hit once it will release. After all this plusses the outcome was minus, a big zero. The movie has such a bad script, its so unrealistic that it bores you to death. The performance of all actors were not so great, they all seemed bored. This is a terrible awful movie that does NOT entertain at all. If you want to see good films, you can check my other reviews.

Zamana Dewana is a 1995 movie, which failed at box office due to the bad script & over acting of Anupam Kher where as the presence of Jeetndra & Shatrughan Sinha even not attracted to the audience, the aim of the movie is to en cash the 2 actors fame from Hit movie Khudgarz & adding Shah Rukh Khan, Anupam Kher is not worth to give him the more role in front of Jeetendra & Shatrughan. The same formula story used of Khudgarz & Saudagar two friends becomes enemy & misunderstanding, in my opinion Anupam Kher role must be minimised & in the Climax Shah Rukh Khan role to be shorten S.R.K. alone fighting not digested he couldn't attract in fight sequence.more role & some fight sequence must be given to Jeetndra & Shatrughan because the story demanded , Jeetendra heading the entire cast & the entire story around him & in the climax there is no role for Jeetendra, it is not the justification of the script writer that's why the movie flop, Shah Rukh Khan & Raveena acting wise is O.K. Anupam Kher overacting & cross dressing & dancing is wasted & boredom. Shatrughan Sinha has given his best effort, Jeetendra justifies his role & given his best as usual, 1st song is good, Even the Director Ramesh Sippy Sholay fame couldn't save the film, The movie is not worth to watch.

There is not such thing as would be loved by everyone. Some might not love this movie but I did. Watch this movie with less expectation and I guarantee it will give you the feeling of watching something good. But if yiu are not fan of RH and Ravena , it would be better to stay away. Highly recommended, otherwise. It's a good film because it stirs some feelings of love, not only love but also friendship.

Other reviewers provide in depth summary and analysis, and I think they do far better than I can. Another reviewer noted if you can get past first 30 mins, this movie is entertaining. I agree. Anupam Kher, Kiran Juneja, Shatrughan Sinha and Ravi Kapoorb were very good in their various roles. Shah Rukh Khan and Raveena Tandon slayed this film. Their challenging relationship made for a lively build into a very steamy romance. Both actors used their facial expressions and eyes to communicate without words. It seems impossible to doubt their love for each other as the film progressed. Having watched more of Shah Rukh's later films, I was prepared to be unimpressed by this pairing. And was I ever wrong. Better editing, cutting some of the early scenes and the one in the hospital would have netted a higher rating from me. Final analysis: I am glad I decided to watch this - kept me very entertained on a rainy Saturday.
