altu2001

This movie directed by Mukul S Anand is a landmark performance by Amitabh Bachchan. Amitabh rises above the script and gives a spectacular performance. At portions Mukul's short takings are superb, but on the whole it is weak in script and direction. It is also a rehash of Deewar. Music of this movie is the horrible thing. Even after all these flaws this movie is worth a watch for Amitabh Bachchan.

This movie can be termed as one of the best in the annals of Indian Cinema history. A perfect script by Salim-Javed and equally captivating direction by Yash Chopra makes this movie a treat to watch. Amitabh as usual lives his role as Vijay. Every dialogue, body language of his is just extraordinary. The only drawback of this otherwise class movie is its music.

The movie released during the tensions then prevailing in India made the people to identify with the character of Vijay (Amitabh). Was a stupendous hit and is still considered a classic. On totality the movie is a treat to watch.
