Yeshwant

Story line is the one thats has been hackneyed in the Hindi films, it is a theme that has been utilised in so many films that it is losing appeal to me, and I am certain there are others like me among the the audiences of Hindi films. Patekar is a great actor, but this particular role has been done in a style that is getting to be monotonous. To me it seems that Patekar, will never be a versatile actor, or character actor. In an idustry where typecasting is more of a norm than exception, Mr Patekar has got oi a groove he will never be able to get out of. I still enjoyed the movie the first time. There is an energy in the movie, Patekar's intensity can always generate excitement, the 2nd time,it dint do anything for me. The third time, it was "yeah!yeah! What else is new!" And I changed the Channel. For comparison, I have seen The Khakee a few times, even now if I spent a few minutes with it I watch it till the end.

One of the less known yet one of the best performances by Nana. If you liked Nana in Prahaar, you gonna like it for sure. Story is not too complicated but sure writing and direction is superb. Some unusual but good songs have been used like "ek machhar", Thumri "Saanwre". As obvious, Nana has got meaty part of the movie, he has some deep and mind-blowing dialogs which you will remember for sure. If you are a Nana fan, don't miss this.

Late 80s and 90s were adorned by the rhetorical dialogues of Nana Patekar, which carried a special charm; "Pratighat," "Ankush," 'Prahaar," "Krantiveer" to name few. People just loved it and to satiate the taste a super cop story has been weaved into "Yeshwant."

Well the film does grip and has some style to its narrative which makes it worth a watch. But overall the film is pretty hectic and remains an automated persona of Nana Patekar which is just overdone and implausible. The dialogues just run like a bullet train and less goes in. The plot is slim and the ease with which the film ends is a cheat. Perhaps by this film the people had given up the usual Nana Patekar style following which he needed an image change.

Rating: 1 star out of 4.

Sickkkkkkkk film Nana is ruthlessssss A must watch

An orphan by birth birth, Yeshwant(Nana Patekar) fought hard to be a narcotics undercover officer. He married an orphan girl (Madhoo) like himself and schooled her into becoming a deputy collector. Yeshwant is a man who refuses to break his principles: absolute honesty, fighting for and upholding truth and justice and helping those he loves.

Enter drug peddler Salim Shaikh (Mohan Joshi). Yeshwant once apprehended him but he got free on bail paid for by a corrupt politician. Now Salim plans to get rid of Yeshwant once and for all...

If you are a die-hard Nana Patekar fan (Like Me!!!), then BUY this film for your DVD collection. His acting in this film is nothing short of PHENOMENAL. Actors Shafi Inamdar, Mohan Joshi, Madhoo and Atul Agnihotri put in decent performances. This is an action packed film coupled with solid emotional drama.

There is a song Ek Chhota Sa Macchar Aadmi Ko Hijra Banadeta Hai! sung by Nana Patekar which has become immensely popular.
