Ghazab

Dharmendra plays two characters, one a naive simpleton and the other the usual confident character he plays, who plays a part in taking revenge on the guys who killed the simpleton. That's the fun part of the film when the villains are shocked to see the man they pushed off the cliff to be alive.

Ghazab is a mix of comedy, romance and action tinted with supernatural elements. It's sort of like Randall & Hopkirk with the ghost of the simpleton and the macho Garam dharam working together to beat the bad guys. Rekha also stars and does fine as the village belle the simpleton Dharmendra fancies. A solid melodrama.

This movie is fantastic. Dharmendra is awesome as usual, and it's tough to believe he made a movie like this in his mid-to-late forties. Go Dharmendra! Rekha also puts in a fine performance, as does the rest of the cast. Interestingly, almost everyone in this movie is either a villain or is out to make a quick buck... very different from the average movie which typically has one or two villains. 'Ghazab' is heartrending at times, but also exciting, fun and very amusing. The young couple who come in to pretend to be Ajay's mother and brother are hilarious. Ajay himself is both an extremely irritating and annoying; and very funny character - great comic timing. The story is good, the direction is fantastic and Dharmendra... whoa!! Must also remember the music - great songs, especially 'Jaanemaann' and 'Dekho dekho' (sorry if I spelt them wrong). Watch this one, you'll be glad you did!
