Yaarana

Kishan and Bishan are childhood friends. Kishan, a poor boy, stays in a village. Bishan goes to a city becomes captain of a ship. After many years when Bishan returns he discovers golden voice of his friend Kishan. He brings him to city with him and on all odds he plans a stage show for him. To train Kishan in urban manners he send him to a school run by Komal. After the show Kishan becomes very popular. However, some goons highjack Bishan's ship (with many childern aboard) Bishen tries to save them but then he is made to run away for his life. (A small role nicely payed by Kader Khan as Bishan's driver - who sacrifices his life for Bishan). Bishan is presumed dead, though actually he looses his mental balance after seeing the children tortured). How Kishan now pays back to Bishans family is rest of the story.

As Bishan, Amzad Khan perhaps played his one of most sincere roles in this movie. Amitabh is polished, and a village baffoon in city his comedy is superb. Tanuja is her small role makes an impact.

Rajesh Roshan has given good music and the song "Choo kar mere man ko kiya tune kya ishaara...", and this song is apt fot this movie too.

Definitely one of my favourite movies amjad khan and bachan really shine it is one the most memorable films of amjad khan along with sholay and qurbani. He was one my most favourite actors next to kader khan. They will always be missed indeed.

Wealthy Bishan (Amjad Khan) and servant Kishan (Amitabh Bachchan) are friends who grew up together in their small Indian village. Bishan goes off to the city to explore the wider world, but returns after several years to renew their friendship. Discovering that Kishan has a great singing voice, Bishan whisks him away to Bombay to help him become a star. But just as Kishan is gaining fame, Bishan loses his fortune and his sanity due to his unscrupulous uncle and cousin (Jeevan and Ranjeet) and only Kishan can help him.

Solid entertainer with a strong ability to tug at your heartstrings, which is mainly due to the performances of Amitabh and Amjad Khan. They are very convincing as friends, their chemistry is superb- it's good to see Amjad Khan in a positive role, and he's simply superb as the gentle-hearted Bishan, who loses his mind. Amitabh matches him in the acting stakes, and the rest of the cast - Neetu Singh, Sulochana, Tanuja, Ranjeet, Jeevan, and Kadar Khan - do brilliantly.

The first half of the film is comedic, especially with the Polydor staff trying to turn Amitabh's village bumpkin into a star; of course, he eventually becomes one, and ends up singing some memorable songs. The second half gets serious, with Amjad Khan put in the mental institution after the kids in his care get kidnapped by Jeevan and Ranjeet. There's some action at the end, but it's mostly well-scripted story about friendship.

Yaarana is a movie about friendship. Amitabh Bachchan in a powerhouse performance. Alongside Amitabh is the late Amjad Khan in another powerhouse performance. The movie is a simple tale about 2 friends and their sacrifices they have to make to help each other including family and financial situations. Yaarana is a light hearted entertaining movie which gets quite serious towards the interval. Amitabh is always brilliant, but its Amjad Khan who gives a surprising role as a good hearted character. After Many negative roles Amjad Khan finally plays a Good guy and does a Fantastic job of it. The movie was a Blockbuster Hit in India. The music was also a Super Hit, Tere jaisa yaar is my favourite among the songs. This is One movie that i never get bored of it. A big time entertainer and Must see

Amitabh proved himself 2 in 1, what I literally mean by 2 in 1 is that, in this movie Amitabh role was comedy as well as the dominant action man, he without hesitating performed his roles very well, this must of been very challenging to do 2 roles in the same movie, there was a contrast, I would simply give this movie 10 out o 10, there were loads of good points about the film, the storyline was brilliant, the actors played there role very well, All I would say this movie will be one of my best movies of all times, I can assure you if you buy this DVD, or record it from the television like I did on last Saturday on max television you will at the end of this film, reach for the rewind button. This movie is one of those which will stick into your heads forever, and you cannot get over it. This movie delivers what its audience needs. Genre, Action, Comedy, Musical, Drama, and Family. all these mixture made this movie into a super hit movie in the year 1981. This was a big blockbuster super hit movie. I would say watch it, you'll love it.
