Yaarana

Known more for the novelty of Amitabh as a pop star rather than for the overall quality of the movie. Amjad Khan had ballooned due to the after effects of his Goa accident and his unrestrained dietary choices. This made him looked awkward in many scenes, though he did win an award for the role. Here onwards Amjad Khan's graph as a menacing villain went down and he had to switch to lesser comedic roles. The comedy scenes in the film looked hilarious back in the days but now seems ridiculous and forced. The rest of the cast were ok. Movie is passable but does not stand out in memory.

Amitabh proved himself 2 in 1, what I literally mean by 2 in 1 is that, in this movie Amitabh role was comedy as well as the dominant action man, he without hesitating performed his roles very well, this must of been very challenging to do 2 roles in the same movie, there was a contrast, I would simply give this movie 10 out o 10, there were loads of good points about the film, the storyline was brilliant, the actors played there role very well, All I would say this movie will be one of my best movies of all times, I can assure you if you buy this DVD, or record it from the television like I did on last Saturday on max television you will at the end of this film, reach for the rewind button. This movie is one of those which will stick into your heads forever, and you cannot get over it. This movie delivers what its audience needs. Genre, Action, Comedy, Musical, Drama, and Family. all these mixture made this movie into a super hit movie in the year 1981. This was a big blockbuster super hit movie. I would say watch it, you'll love it.
