Aatank Hi Aatank

After watch Aamir khan performance i vomiting.. worst actor.. no emotion.. not even 1% look like Villen.. Movie also copied from God Father.. except Ranjikant torture movie for self.

Okay, the film failed at the box office but which Godfather remake has been successful? A great story like The Godfather hasn't found its takers in Bollywood but none of the remakes are bad (except for the semi-remake Dharmatma). After Zulm Ki Hukumat was released, it could have been that the director of AHA wanted to make his own version. Zulm Ki Hukumat being the best remake of Godfather ever, didn't find may takers at the box office.

AHA was stuck for years and people had already forgot about the film when it released. The film is not a complete clone of The Godfather, but yes, the first half is very similar adding Bollywood flavour to it. It wont be wrong to call it a 'desi adaption' where several subplots were added for the sake of masala. The direction is little tacky, which needed a little tiding up to do. The songs don't make much of an impact at all.

Aamir Khan does pretty well for himself as he didn't play an anti hero role before until it came to Earth and Fanaa. But the evil Aamir in the second half puts a smile on your face, his performance was wonderful. His wig and moustage do look silly. Rajnikant does okay. Juhi Chawla doesn't get much scope. Ishrat Ali is natural. And okay guest appearance by Om Puri and Kabir Bedi, who have just under 10 minutes of screen time but just add a little action

Overall, an okay adaption of Godfather. Considering the time it was made in and the several problems that occurred during its making.

3 out 5

The movie released in 1995, when there was a period for romantic movies released, such as Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge, Barsaat and others. This one was unique in the sense that it is a gangster type movie. The movie is about a farmer who moved to the city of Bombay with his family where he met a boy called Munna who had no-one and both started to become a gangster. Years later son (Rohan) follows suit as he takes over from his father and avenges for both Munna's and his father's murder. Rajnikanth, perhaps this was the last time he did a Hindi movie, ditched his style of "throwing a fag to his mouth" and rather performed a great role as Munna. The amazing performance was by Aamir Khan, who was not really old to play such a role, executed very well as a gangland boss. This movie would have been suitable for this decade, where movies such as Company by Ajay Devgan was made. However, it was not a bad movie, although perhaps Aamir Khan was not the suitable actor to play such a role at that time.
