      headache

      Its not worth spending even 2 hours. I don't know, what do people think for making such movies. Priyanka is also disappointing with her choice of movie and performance in the same. And who is that hero, I do not know the name exactly, he is not looking like a hero from any angle. Such kind of movies are spoiling the bollywood's image on people. Bollywood should ban these kind of movie. Even censor board should not allow such crap to release,because its not worth spending a single penny. For a case, if someone give me 1000 rs and ask me to watch, I would voluntarily deny the offer. many critics has given zero rating to this movie, which i think high rating for this movie.

      boring

      well Zanjeer came with a lots of hype but received pale comments.coming to the story vijay khanna is a man of courage and will filled with sincerity makes his 23rd transfer in his five years from Hyderabad to Mumbai faces troubles,while Priyanka chopra was a n.r.i who visits Mumbai for her friend's marriage and unfortunately sees a murder.hence she meets Vijay and situations tends her to become a witness and so locks up here without returning to the u.s.Vijay starts the case chasing it up to prakashraj and the rest you have to watch it in the theater.despite the trailers and promos the movie went with a poor slow screenplay making it bore.in his rivalry with the villain every critic catches the point that hero is out of his laws and process till his victory then how can the movie justify only the director should know!. the one and only plus point is ramcharan's acting and so prakashraj's.sorry that this Telugu mega power star made his Bollywood debut as unmemorable.besides all the other crafts went disturbed.songs were good but non of the song was full in the movie.it was a perfect script and direction failure maybe running short of ideas.there is no perfect connections and logic's between the scenes and characters respectively.as there is no scope for comedy the viewers who expect it should return homes very disappointed.we should wait and see how much this movie can run for the box office collections.

      This is an Era of Bad Remakes

      After super success of Agnipath remake and failure of Himmatwala it is the turn of Zanjeer to continue this remake culture.To execute the original same plot in modern style is not at all easy.Himmatwala had entered its name in worst remake record books and Zanjeer too makes an attempt to reach at par with Himmatwala but fails due to some entertainment quotient.Only few entertaining scenes manage to save it from sheer embarrassment.

      To talk of the performances Ram charan has strong hold on the screen but you won't say wow after watching him till the end..Prakash raj is good but monotonous as always..Priyanka and Sanjay dutt are just fine..Apoorva lakhia's direction and screenplay is commendable but weak script, and bad execution overshadow it.

      All in all a poor remake with performances far below expectations.Its better to wait and watch Zanjeer on TV than wasting your precious money in multiplexes.

      I rate it 4 out of 10

      It has the potential to damage the dimension of cinema…..garbage

      Zanjeer 1973 propelled Amitabh Bachchan's career also it brought into existence "angry young man". How on earth, Apoorva Lakhia decided to remake this iconic movie and played with its novel values. It is just a crisscross of all the elements required to make a movie and the results are gauche, tiresome and mediocre.

      'Zanjeer' is about.C.P Vijay Khanna (Ram Charan) who is transferred from Hyderabad to Mumbai (Note: He has been transferred 17 times in merely 5 years). He teams up with the murder witness Mala (Priyanka Chopra) and investigates the murder. All these investigations connect the dots to the oil mafia Mogul (Prakash Raj). Vijay tries to expose Teja, but in process he gets suspended.

      Although story is the exact mock-up of Zanjeer (1973) but it is no match. It insults the cult scene between Amitabh & Pran in the police station; the fight between them is obnoxious, Priyaka-Ram Charan romance track is flat, Prakash Raj-Mahi Gill look unbearable and vulgar.

      Ram Charan reprising Bachchan's role as Vijay Khanna, who tries really hard to get the Angry Young Man avatar but fails absurdly. He couldn't flex his facial expressions according to the role however; he sustains the only one facial expression throughout.

      Sanjau Dutt looks ridiculous & indifferent as Sher Khan; it is definitely no match to iconic Pran. He does not share any chemistry with Ram Charan as both look distant.

      Priyanka's character, NRI Mala, is intended to add some comic reliefs which are banal. She performs "Pinki Item Song" in her facebook friend's wedding and witnesses a murder and start living with Ram Charan. It does not give any reason behind the love story also any emotional grounds.

      Prakash Raj is doing the same thing over and over again which is intolerable now and he also dresses like a ring master of any circus. Mahi Gill only does "MEOW", what a waste of such talented actress.

      Unfortunately, I do not have an Idea what was Atul Kulkarni doing?

      I don't remember any song of the movie but inappropriately used "Rghupati Raghav Raja Ram" track during fight sequence, which was atrocious.

      It is high time, such nonsense should be stopped. 2.8/10

      Zanjeer-The torment of my life

      Just when you thought that there is some good left in the world, the movie Zanjeer punches you hard and brings you face to face with the disastrous disaster of Hindi Cinema. Pushed by circumstances ,in my case an exam of General Pharmacology, one usually goes to a place faraway and happy, also dark, and so did I. My friends and I, we ended up in a theatre. Wasn't zero cars in the parking, or no people in the vicinity or the lifelessness of the Theatre enough to scare us off? Obviously Not.

      One ticket worth 130 Rupees, and we barged into a hall full of nothing but an ogre-face sprawled all over the large screen. That was the defining moment when we knew that the coming 3 hours of our lives were in vague danger, but being a Desi breed we didn't turn back. 130 Rupees ka sawal tha.

      The initial shock of an atrociously hideous protagonist or an awfully dumb Priyanka Chopra was nothing. There was so much more they had in store for the scanty audience.

      A hag-faced Sanjay Dutt who insisted on wearing nothing but colours that could sore your eyes for a century, a nauseating woman named Mona, a dark and gross villain with massive one-liner-failures, a dizzy sound- track, a horrific and passé story-line, a dance step that looked pretty much like an epileptic seizure, a 150-minutes-of-my-life-never-coming- back later here I am thanking the almighty that I am alive. Barely.

      Only one bearable ending could've come out of this traumatic movie, if that mutant-lips-cop shot himself in the end, and the screen splattered with his pathetic blood. Or not. No way on Earth can this be a better movie, because this is it, the worst movie I have watched in my lifetime. I am scarred for life. Rating this movie in stars? I wouldn't rate this in bullshits.
