Ek Rishtaa: The Bond of Love

This is a good movie.A good family flick with a lot of strong emotions.

Story is simple with a lot of great performances.Both Amitabh and Akshay have given great performances.Supporting cast like Rakhee,Juhi Chawala have given good performances.Karishma is also pretty good and looks completely beautiful through out.Others like the 3 daughters are quite average.Mohnish Behl overacts completely.Sunil Shettys cameo was point less

Songs are good(with Ek Dil Hai being the best one ) and so are their Picturisations.Malayasian locales(in Dil Deewana no)and i think the Thai locales(in Dil Lagene Ki Saza)and also the Swiss locales in(Mohaabat Ne Mohabbat Ko)are a treat to the eyes

Everything else like the story,script,screenplay are good.Set designs and camera work is first rate

A family drama, where all characters appealing to real lives of people. It's a family where there is an ideal father, a loving and caring mother, an obedient son, two decent daughters, a responsible uncle and lastly the greedy son in law. As you could imagine by now, who is the villain and opposite of that the obedient son stands as the hero. The son in law is the trouboe maker in the film succeeds in creating misunderstandings in the family and earns a huge but non lasting fortune through betrayal. The film ends in the undoing of his wrong deed.

There are many strong plotholes in the movie, not on the contents and performance but in presentations. The performances are supposedly the bright part of the film esp Big B and Akshay. The narration style is average though. The spirit of the movie is retained by the performances including Ashish Vidyarthi and Shakti Kapoor is good to watch in positive role. But the continuous BGM makes the film annoying instead of turning it emotional. Sometimes emotions also feel impractical.

Few flaws like ---- Father and Son misunderstand as if they are strangers. And that too in front of others. Its unreal, immatured and dramatised heavily. Akshay was quarreling with the villain while his pregnant wife is in hospital, which seems very filmy and impractical as the protagony. (3)The management of money was an important point, but is loosely shown. Sentiments regarding it is shown instead. (4)The apologies of the antagonist is so readily accepted with no strong reciprocation. (5) Strong dramatisation of lead characters made many of the situations flawed. And so on ........ On average it would be a 53/100.

I saw this movie today.I must say this is bearable and okay.Story is good.It tells about Kapoor family who has 3 girls and 1 son.One day Vijay comes across Rajesh.What he does not knows that Rajesh wants to capture his wealth and for that he marries his daughter.Then a problem occurs in his company.He screams at his son.His son leaves him.Then Rajesh captures hiss wealth.He closes his company.He is sick.Then his son returns.A good story.The very handsome Mohnish Behl who plays Rajesh overacts miserably.Karishma who looks gorgeous as ever in the movie gives an annoying performance in an unusual character.Juhi looks very pretty in this movie and is strictly OK here.The other 2 are okay also.Rakhee who looks good in the movie is wasted.Aashish is OK too.The movie belongs To Akshay and Amtabh who give great performances.The bond was beautiful.Their performances were more deserving than Shah Rukh Khan in K3G.Aamir in Lagaan or Amtabh in K3G.Their acting was the best of that year.Shakti Kapor was irritating.The music by Nadeem Shravan is good and catchy and not to forget melodious.Watch this for the Amtabh and Akshay who give great performances Rating-5/10

What a mixed up movie! They could have done so much with all the talent in this movie, but the path chosen was the clichéd ones. Even those are done badly. The actors do indeed do their part, but the director has totally messed this movie up. It was painful to sit through this movie. If I were you, I'd avoid this movie completely.

The movies starts out good, but after about half an hour, it goes downhill. Unnecessary twists, unnecessary drama, and contrived sub plots ruin it. Why do directors think that they can simply fill in time with garbage?

Editing is horrible, many of the scenes are simply unrealistic (even by bollywood standards), direction is very bad.

Once again, staying away from this is advisable.

Present day Bollywood movies have no feeling at all. At this one you feel the father-child bond.
