Ek Aur Ek Gyarah

There are two films called Ek Aur Ek Gyarah. One stars Shashi Kapoor and was made in 1981. The other stars Govinda and Sanjay Dutt and was made in 2003. The names are the same, but the plots are completely different. This IMDb entry is incorrect. It contains the plot summary and cast information for the 1981 film, but the profile poster in this entry is for the 2003 film. Both are great films, but someone who is not as familiar with Hindi film names is going to be very confused. I am entering a plot summary for the 2003 film, puctured in the profile poster and my rating of 7 is also for that film. Two best friends named Tara and Sitara(Govinda and Sanjay Dutt), who consider themselves brothers, are fairly successful con men and burglars who end up at odds with a much more sinister crime duo called Cobra and Panther. Tara and Sitara go into hiding, managing to talk their way into staying at the guest house of a high-ranking Army officer named Ram Singh who is looking for the sinister crime duo. They do this by pretending to be former owners of the home who now are homeless, Tara faking paralysis in a wheelchair. Ram Singh also just happens to have a daughter and a younger sister who take a liking to Tara and Sitara and romance ensues. In the meantime, will Cobra and Panther find Tara and Sitara and wreak vengeance? This really is a very funny film and Dutt (who often plays a scary gangster type like in Vaastav:The Reality) is the perfect comic foil for the hilarious Govinda. I hope IMDb techs straighten this out. It was very confusing at first!

Ek aur ek gyarah is a revenge drama film with some romance and is directed by Ashok Roy. The film stars late Shashi Kapoor, Late Vinod Khanna, Neetu Singh, Zarina Wahab, Raza Murad, Late Om Prakash and Prem Chopra.

A man gets the help of a street goon to uncover the mystery of the death of his step brother in which he himself is implicated by the murderer.

This film is another typical masala film of 1980s of Hindi film cinema with lost and found plot, some comedy, some average music, action in the middle and in the climax with happy ending.

The plot is not new as we have seen many films on such plots, the execution is average to above average as the film will not let you get bored. Acting is great by all the actors with a special praise for Vinod Khanna. Music of the film is below average as you'll not remember any song as the film ends and the climax is predictable.

Can be watched once only for the stellar star cast.
