Bardaasht (2004)

Bardaasht

Finally, a hero who uses his brains!

Although though the story is not new, the movie's approach to it definitely is. Basically, when "those" scenes arrive where you can guarantee what is going to be the outcome, usually the opposite happens. I liked Bobby Deol's character. He was more realistic and less irritating than your typical bloodthirsty protagonist out to seek vengance for the guy who killed his brother, mother, sister, etc. You know those moments when you're like talking to the characters and saying stuff like "Why did you do that? You should have done..." Well, in this movie, Bobby actually uses his brains! Wow! Hooray! He simply is seeking for justice and doesn't waste his and our time fighting every "gunda" that gets in his way. Lara Dutta's character is also nice. She plays an honest and intelligent lawyer and Bobby's ex-girlfriend. The entire cast, who hasn't appeared in a movie for a quite a while until this movie released, brings a fresh feel to the film, especially Rahul Dev. Songs are good.

Watchable

Mostly Bobby Deol signed crap films except some This is one of his better films

it has a done to death story agreed, but the film is handled very well by E.Niwas though they are some snags

The film starts off well and comes to the point quickly and the entire scenes of Bobby searching for Ritiesh till the morgue scene are fantastic

The film does follow the beaten part but thankfully our hero is mostly realistic in his use of media.etc and doesn't go the sunny way till the Pre-climax

The climax does a about turn and looks stupid even the characterization of Ritiesh looks too confusing, like he is shown like a bad guy first and then completely honest

E-Niwas after the riveting SHOOL and okay LOVE KE LIYE KUCH BHI KAREGA gives a decent film Music is okay, luckily only 2-3songs and they don't distract

Bobby Deol excels in his part, his suppressed anger is well handled Earlier Bobby looked too uncomfortable in emotions but he has grown a lot and is awesome in his role though he reminds of Sunny in portions Lara is good, better then in many of her films Ritiesh is good in his small part Tara is less annoying as she was in MASTI Rahul Dev is okay Virendra Saxena is great

Bardassht is Bobby Deol's Ghayal

This is one of those rare Bollywood movies that questions the police brutality. I don't know why other users have given such low rating to a brilliant film. This movie was a critical hit. And yes Bobby Deol has given a performance of life time. One of the most underrated gem of Indian Film Industry.

Lord Bobby is here with a masterclass of action and drama with a movie dealing with police brutality.

First of all, after watching Animal which also starred Lord Bobby Deol, I realised why he deserved his comeback with the movie. So, I watched all his movies from the 90s and late 2000s. Here I find this masterpiece that's yet to trend named Bardaasht. I watched the whole movie and OMG, Lord Bobby and the whole cast took this movie to the next level. Riteish Deshmukh, Lara Dutta, Rahul Dev, and Tara Sharma all did superb in their roles and deserves a lot of credibility for the scenes dealing with thrill and emotion. What a roller coaster ride by Eeshwar Niwas who directed Dum, Shool, and many other movies. I recommend this movie and it's available on YouTube.

Plus this movie deserves a re-release in the theaters so we can see Lord Bobby on screen and listening to Janaabe Ali in the theaters while dancing!
