Aar Ya Paar

It's a total Hollywood style thriller. Good work from all the actors. Paresh Rawal and Jackie stole the show. Their one on one conversation scenes are great. Bollywood was having all melodrama movies that time. This was way ahead of its time. Watch it.

This movie based on the novel "sucker punch" james hadely chase. Its very good and ameazing thrill suspense.

This movie has everything viewers want.... 1. A brilliant story 2. Good performance by everyone especially Jackie, Paresh Rawal... 3. Good songs and 4. A brilliant climax.

The only reason the film did not do well in the box office is that it got caught up with the censor board who wanted a few scenes cut off it.

Otherwise the movie is really worth viewing.

Aar Ya Paar review :

Ketan Mehta's underrated thriller which was evidently inspired from a popular James Hadley Chase novel. Aar Ya Paar had Jackie Shroff playing an anti hero who marries a richie rich sanki lady (Kamal Siddhu) for her wealth and then plots to kill her with help from her sexy secretary Deepa Sahi. The plan is executed but goes awry due to his past girlfriend Ritu Shivpuri. What happens next?

Of the cast, Jackie aka Jaggu Dada was perfect as the philandering anti hero. It is one of his best performances yet highly underrated. Deepa Sahi was equally good in her complex role and she looked truly ravishing in a swimsuit. On the other hand, Kamal Siddhu and Ritu were bad casting decisions. Paresh Rawal left an impression in a small but important role of ACP Khan.

Mehta Saahab's direction was competent (though he concentrated more on his wife Deepa than the other two ladies). Music by Viju Shah was also memorable with a song filmed in Venice, Italy.

Despite being a well executed taut thriller, Aar Ya Paar didn't work at the box office. The audience just couldnt accept the main lead as a villain killing his own wife. But today, the film makes for an entertaining watch and can pass off as a precursor to Sriram Raghavan's neo noir thrillers like Johnny Gaddar (2007) and Andhadhun (2018).

I had seen this film at Hindmata cinema Dadar during its theatrical run and loved it. Was pretty disappointed by its box office outcome then. Well as the clichè goes, some films are way ahead of its time. This one surely was!!

This movie was made ahead of its time and audience and so out of character for Indian cinema. Great Story (a rare commodity in Bollywood), good acting (again rare), solid thriller. Over all should have gotten a much higher rating it deserved.

This movie shows so many facets of Human emotions at one go. love, Lust, Betrayal, Corruption, Greed, Desperation and Salvation. It would have best suited if the movie was allowed without any cuts and editing, If cuts are so necessary then they could have done better with less songs. I don't know why but this movie's plot still seems to me as inspired from somewhere for the writers because of the over all bold theme and presentation of the movie which is a surprise to me. No offense, its just an opinion i have, i may be wrong. Over all a very good movie. Kudos to the makers.
