Ghulami

With the presence of actors like Naseer, Smita Patil, Omshiv Puri, and 1980s, looks like an art movie. It is a tale beautifully told by debut director Dutta. Dialogues are amazing. Combination of stalwarts like Laxmikant Pyarelal and Gulzar to make songs has made the songs immortal. Not just the songs, even the background music of Laxmikant Pyarelal is evidence enough why the duo is best after Shankar Jaikishan. Although all actors have given phenomenal performances but Dharmendra is at his best. The way he has delivered the OP Dutta dialogues puts him ahead of even Naseer. Mithun is a very good addition to the main story line. Most outstanding is Dharmendra. There is something in the movie for everybody...plut it is a clean movie that you can see with your whole extended family.

Any rating less than 10 will mean under assessment of Dharmendra, Smita Patil, Lata Mangeshkar, JP Dutta, Laxmikant Pyarelal, Gulzar and beautiful photography of massive Landscapes of Beautiful desert of Rajasthan.

Excellent movie by debutant director, JP Dutta, excellent direction, great music, superb dialogues, social relevant movie excellent performances by All Actors.

You never feel you are watching first film made by somebody ,where everything is just consummate.

Best part is visuals of the film , the place Fatehpur , the landscape which is huge covered awesomely by cinematographer .

The score of the film is haunting and energetic.

Screenplay is detailed as said in previous reviews.

Dharmendra is extra ordinary, his dialogues delivery so wonderful that the viewer feels the urge of listening to them again and again , apart from him Nasiruddin Shah is refreshing, Smita Patil had limited scope but she shined as always. Mithun Da ,Reena Roy and Kulbhushan Kharbanda also performed very well .

By reading previous reviews i doubt that many people misunderstood the SP-wife-rebel triangle in the film , the police officer does not follow the rebel out of jealousy that his wife loved him , he follows him as he believes in law , although he is clearly biased towards his own clan and its people as he does not know the wrong doings done by them , he does not have any ill thoughts towards his wife and her past , even he asks her to help him to trace the rebel.

Overall one of the best films produced by Bollywood , Go for it !!

Right from the opening scene of the movie till the end what you see is the most realistic protrayal of Ranjit Singh Chaudhary, the titular character of a village in Rajasthan,India. How he fights for equality and bondage free lives forms the story. Each character is perfectly chosen and enacted with even more finesse by the ensemble cast. The songs and the story keep haunting you for many days. Cinematography, dialogues, realistic locations, never boring plot make this one of the finest performances of Dharmendra's life.

The film marked the debut of one the greatest film directors in Bollywood, JP Dutta.

It deals with the inequality of land ceilings in rural India. It focuses on a young boy who grows up to rebel against the cruel land owners, who have been ripping of poor farmers. Dharmendra delivers his greatest performance, aided fabulous performances by the supporting cast.

Technically, the movie is great like all JP Dutta films. The score is haunting. The dialogues by OP Dutta is brilliant. The screenplay is as detailed as you can get.

A movie that should not be missed by any movie fan.
