Jallaad

Too many plot holes and unnecessary scenes. Otherwise, good direction, good editing. Mithun as his best. Every actors did well. Chinai chun chun is good music, my childhood one. Overall not a bad one.

Jallaad presents Mithun Chakraborty at his most unique, and that's why I wish the film was better. In many ways, Jallaad is a B-grade movie, but it's an entertainer, and no film starring Chakraborty is a complete waste because his presence is always forceful. Director Prasad does his best - the songs are well shot, the development of the story is passable, and the film would be quite watchable for fans of Hindi films, despite the regular absurdities. A slightly aging Mithun plays two roles, that of a father and his illegitimate son. While the role of the son is a pretty common role and a sort of replica of his many parts in previous films, it is the role of the evil, sadistic father that offers this star-actor an opportunity to showcase his thespian talent. And what a talent it is. The way he transforms into that character is beyond words - the look in his eyes, the tiny gestures, the cynical smile, the body language, and the voice - there isn't a false note and the attention to detail is astounding. Sadly, the film doesn't quite live up to his work, but he rises above it so kudos to him for that.

I just saw this film and thought i'll find out what people say about this film on IMDb. Guess what, NOTHING AT ALL!! Mithun in a totally convincing double role plays the main villain Amavas and the son Shakti who is an inspector. What can i say?, This film has everything action, romance, great storyline, great songs, the background score every time they show the villain Amavas (Mithun) is slightly chilling yet tense which totally adds to the quality of the film. And also the great Mithunda is in his best role ever for which he even won a film fare award 1995 (best villain). This is the only film directed by T.L.V Prasad that is actually brilliant (its also the only one to receive an award & some critical acclaim), he tried recreating the magic of Jallaad in his other 20+ films with Mithun but they weren't this good. Trust me, this double role is not like the one mithun played in the boring "Swarg Yahan Narak Yahan"(1991) which is a copy of Amitabh/Dilip kumar film "Shakti". People think that Mithuns films like Surakshaa, Wardaat, disco dancer and commando (amongst others) are his best. There are good but are in no way up to the standard of this film. This film is an action film too but not those brainless ones that mithun made in the 80s and 90s, This one actually has a brilliant storyline which touches on politics, childhood abandonment, hatred and ultimately revenge. BOTTOM LINE:- Watch this entertaining film and you'll enjoy it, GUARANTEED!!!.

"Jallad" is all about the cheaper gimmicks of 90s including fights, politics, villains, unsituational songs and unsavory jokes, which do nothing more than lengthen the movie. The storyline is too familiar and improbable. If there is anything the film is worth for, it's the villanious role of Mithun which despite its all improbabilities and unpleasantness keeps one watching.

Rating: 1 star out of 4.

Politics part shown in the movie is so relevant - timeless..!! Kader khan & mithun both r good as jodi..!! Dialogues r best..!! Mithun's acting 👍
