Majboor

This film starts extremely well and promises to be a classic, but it fails to deliver on that promise in the second half. The first half creates intrigue and the scenes are very good, the writing also remains sober and sane, unlike may films of that era. The second half, on the other hand, is not as intense and writing also brings in the usual cliches. Amitabh Bachchan was good through out and put a very credible performance. The rest of the cast was also quite good, with Farida Jalal acting very naturally. I did not like Pran's acting in this one, he was an amazing actor, but in this film he was given a cliched role with some usual "dialogbaazi" of the times which sound ridiculous now. The character he played is too much of a stretch of imagination. The ending is way too stretched and dilutes the suspense of the first half totally. Overall a film that had potential to be a classic but the writers got bored and lazy too quickly!
