Vishwanath

I gather audience back in the 70s were real easy to please, to make this drivel a hit. People say if it wasn't for the indomitable Amitabh, Shatrughan would have been real big in bollywood. I say "Horsecrap", if this is considered as one of his top movies, I really don't want to watch his average or bad films. Dialogues were pedestrian at best and no memorable songs. The cast were hamming it up rather than acting. Pran was ok, he reprised the same kind of role in Karz couple of years later. Premnath was the antagonist with his usual efficiency as he would do so again in Karz. I guess Subhash Ghai more or less stuck to one kind of supporting cast. Shatru was wooden throughout the movie with limited expressions. You can't be just a macho character all the time, you have other emotions and expressions that are needed to complete an actor. That's the reason why Amitabh is still relevant to the hindi cinema compared to his peers. I wouldn't put this on a must watch movie list.
