Bullet

Vijay Anand, the brother of Devanand, made many classic films in the 1950s and 60s. This one is a decent addition to his filmography but not a great film.

Devanand plays a police officer who ultimately has to clear his name whilst in the pursuit of a crook. The plot interweaves multiple characters and a sub plot. However, what lets this film down is it's slightly longer run time {150 minutes for what I saw}, shoddy acting from couple of character actors and the filler song and dance sequences {previous films by this director had some true gems in terms of music}.

Still, the film has a good pacing, especially in the middle where the plot moves quick and folks won't be disappointed.

This was probably Dev Anands last sane movie. He went flat out into loud, vulgar 70s mode after Bullet. A real pity because Dev Anand was & is a great actor. Dev had long been the king of the thriller genre & Bullet adds a notable feather to his well decorated cap.

He plays CID officer Dharam Dev hot on the heels of DP ( Kabir Bedi). DP realising Devs on his case frames him on a drunken driving

On Devs release from jail he sets off on DPs chase with even more gusto only for DP to frame him on a Kidnapp/Murder charge.

Dev Anand was at his very best, calm & restrained. Bedi is suave & charming as the villain, probably his best bollywood role. Parveen Babi as Devs girlfriend looks gorgeous whilst Rakesh Roshan plays his part well.

This was amongst the best movies of the 70's & a must for bollywood 70's aficionados! super song sung by Kishore Kumar for Dev Anand with glorious music made by RD Burman.Especially "Chori Chori Chupke Chupke Kishore Kumar,Asha Bhosle & off course great editing plus fantastic direction in night by Vijay Anand in the 70's golden Era of bollywood.

In my word golden jubilee picture in the 70's :)

Ton celebrate the 25 glorious years of Navketan International Films, producer Dev Anand invited his Legendary director brothers Chetan Anand and Vijay Anand for directing Jaaneman and Bullet respectively in 1976. Both movies were successful and had some great soundtrack by Laxmikant Pyarelal and R.D. Burman. Jaaneman was a kind of remake of the 1954 classic Taxi Driver while Bullet was based on a famous novel Just Another Sucker. Goldie's crisp editing, narrative and screenplay were the highlight of the film which had an impressive starcast of Parveen babi, Kabir Bedi and Rakesh Roshan. Dev who was always known to wear full sleeves shirt and buttoned up collar broke the trend with this movie where he was seen half sleeve Khaki uniform and needless to say he looked equally dashing even at the age of 54. Ita a must watch for all Dev and Goldie fans especially who love edge of the seat Suspense Thrillers.

case.

On Devs release from jail he sets off on DPs chase with even more gusto only for DP to frame him on a Kidnapp/Murder charge.

With all clues leading to Dev, he must convince his junior officer Rakesh Roshan of his innocence & of Dps guilt.

Dev Anand was at his very best, calm & restrained. Bedi is suave & charming as the villain, probably his best bollywood role. Parveen Babi as Devs girlfriend looks gorgeous whilst Rakesh Roshan plays his part well.

This was amongst the best movies of the 70s & a must for bollywood 70s afficionados!

It's amazing that such an outstanding director like Vijay Anand could make such a poor movie in "Bullet" . Everything about the movie was awful especially the direction and acting.
