Not what you expect from Ketan Mehta

The director that made "Bhav Ni Bhavai", "Mirch Masala" or even "Mangal Panday" is not even close to being his best in "Aar ya Paar". It looks like a cheap and easy movie he was arm-twisted into making so he sleep-walked through it. Th story of "The Sucker Punch" has been made into a Gujarati Drama: Shrugal. Paresh Rawal who played the inspector in the movie actually played the crook husband in the Drama - a much more entertaining performance than Jackie Shroff. Ketan Mehta also once more used his then Girlfriend, now wife Deepa Sahi in the movie. She is not particularly talented and when she tries to be sexy, she becomes laughable. Ketan should have learned from V. Shantaram and Chetan Anand's disastrous pampering of their spouses/lovers. The other girl who plays Meena is not even able to read her lines convincingly.

Hollywood style Jackie acting like Harrison Ford

It's a total Hollywood style thriller. Good work from all the actors. Paresh Rawal and Jackie stole the show. Their one on one conversation scenes are great. Bollywood was having all melodrama movies that time. This was way ahead of its time. Watch it.

A movie ahead of its time and audience

This movie was made ahead of its time and audience and so out of character for Indian cinema. Great Story (a rare commodity in Bollywood), good acting (again rare), solid thriller. Over all should have gotten a much higher rating it deserved.

This movie shows so many facets of Human emotions at one go. love, Lust, Betrayal, Corruption, Greed, Desperation and Salvation. It would have best suited if the movie was allowed without any cuts and editing, If cuts are so necessary then they could have done better with less songs. I don't know why but this movie's plot still seems to me as inspired from somewhere for the writers because of the over all bold theme and presentation of the movie which is a surprise to me. No offense, its just an opinion i have, i may be wrong. Over all a very good movie. Kudos to the makers.

Woww wat a surprise

This movie shocked me. Both by its plot twist and quality. I felt it would be a cheap thriller with more songs and less story butnit wasnt. This had a smart plot, a gorgeous grey shade Jackie shroff , very hot Deepa sahi who remains fully dressed to look simple girl most of the time but when she was in qestern dresses she was awesome.

Story is inspired from Endless night and sucker punch i guess but it was exaclty like a james hadley chase novel in terms of execution. Paresh rawal was also veru good.

Overall for all thrill.seekrs, it is a must watch. I love the 99s thrillera , but sadly there are very few of them.
