Ek Rishtaa: The Bond of Love

The movie starts off quite well with excellent restrained performances by full cast including Amitabh and Akshay. The Amitabh fits prefectly in his role of a self-made, high-profile, hard-working buisnessman. Akshay deviating from his usual action/slap-stick-comedy roles, has done a commendable job as well educated, new generation son of Amitabh. The first half of the movie is good with well written script and good characterization.

Its the second half of the movie that reduces it to just another typical bollywood drama with loud acting, unrealistic situations and too predictable happy ending.

So overall 6 out of 10.

This film incorporates the intricacy of family relationship especially that goes beyond generations. Misunderstanding the intents of lyrify.in members results in bitter circumstances in family.

Personally, I thoroughly enjoyed it and recommend every person to at least watch this jewel one time in their lifetime.

Amitabh Bachchan as always performed like a legend and Akshay's performance was also great in terms of acting along with Karishma's presence on the screen. Juhi was also perfect in her little role as the sister of Akshay. They were perfectly casted.

This picture is a must watch for every family together.

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

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

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.
