Zanjeer

Zanjeer review:

The hero of this movie is Ram Charan. His father Chiranjeevi's debut hindi film,"Pratibandh" (1988) was almost an unofficial remake of the original "Zanjeer"(1973). This ones an official remake.

Forget the original Amitabh Bachchan classic, beta's film cannot even match up to his pitaji's Bollywood debut. Bachchan's yesteryear classics (Sholay, Don, Agneepath) have been badly spoofed (in name of remake) in recent times by some maverick directors (RGV ki Aarrgghh remember?!). Add one more to tht blacklist...and guys, please STOP this remake business now. ENOUGH !!

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.

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 movie typifies the malaise within the Indian mainstream film industry. To think that if you can cram together all the elements that might go into making an entertaining film will ensure a successful film is not stupidity or ignorance, but hubris (thus demonstrating that hubris is stupidity and ignorance). Apoorva Lakhia must take all the blame for this film. But special mention must be made of Ram Charan as well. To think that an artist of his stature doesn't do enough of a quality check - it's a betrayal of the people spending time and money on this film. Priyanka Chopra, Sanjay Dutt, Prakash Raj and Atul Kulkarni do their bit of course and can't be faulted - except that maybe they shouldn't trust Lakhia again. Mahie Gill makes you wonder. Such a promising career and such talent. Choices likes these have the potential to ring the death knell for wonderful actors like her, and it is the corruption of the Indian film industry that forces actors to make terrible choices that ultimately backfire.

And why remake a movie if you're not going to elevate the original? This is tantamount to abuse and exploitation, and quite simply unforgivable. Karan Malhotra's reboot of Agneepath, on the other hand, was tribute to the original metamorphosing into truly surpassing the original (which, despite being a "cult classic", is shockingly poor in several bits).

The lesson to take away from this is that such a waste of resources is an insult to the audiences, and must have longer-standing consequences. The question is: the next time Lakhia gets a chance to put together an excellent cast and crew, will you forget that he was the one who demeaned you and belittled your intelligence with a 2013 film called Zanjeer?

After seeing this movie I don't get it why such good actors and veterans such as Sanjay Dutt would do this movie seriously whatever the reason maybe it was a waste of their time. The newbie actor should have been given a much better intro than this movie. The writer whatever he wrote wasn't bad enough that the director took the remains of the lameness and sealed up the movie. The direction was very amateur remaking of a classic movie I think that the original makers of the movie must have just fainted.

I need to ask the director myself that in the movie where Ram Charan first encounters with Sanjay Dutt without no reason Ram goes to Sanjay's place and starts fighting like did he have some sort of a preminition or what???? I mean what was that??? that's not direction that a huge flaw. There are many scenes that don't just add up and the whole movie was just a very waste of time. Two item songs were provided which obviously were thought that they will keep the ball rolling but they failed pathetically as for even an item song to go along the story and direction need to support the whole movie.

The rest best of luck to the new actor Ram as you really need to make sure and pick your scripts by really getting into character I know I don't need to teach your acting but this is just a tip but for the director you need to still go through some more direction courses.
