      The isn't Zanjeer we wanted! Sanjay Dutt is the Saving Grace

      It's clear that Bollywood wants to make Quick Money by Making Remakes . They Practically Screwed this Remake. I believe that Ram Charan is a Great Actor. He tried but debuting in a Bollywood movie which is a remake of a classic is stupid. Priyanka Chopra is a great actress we saw her in Barfi but does she have to shed clothes and be an arm candy in the movie? Why? Prakash Raj is Stereo-typed. Mahie Gill must watch her Previous movies and learn acting.

      The Only Good thing in the Movie is Sanjay Dutt. He does a Fab job but sadly his Screen time isn't that much which is BAD!!

      The Story is hammed. the Direct by Apoorva Lakhia is below average. the Music isn't great.

      The action is good.

      Overall, A Below Average fare.

      This is an Era of Bad Remakes

      After super success of Agnipath remake and failure of Himmatwala it is the turn of Zanjeer to continue this remake culture.To execute the original same plot in modern style is not at all easy.Himmatwala had entered its name in worst remake record books and Zanjeer too makes an attempt to reach at par with Himmatwala but fails due to some entertainment quotient.Only few entertaining scenes manage to save it from sheer embarrassment.

      To talk of the performances Ram charan has strong hold on the screen but you won't say wow after watching him till the end..Prakash raj is good but monotonous as always..Priyanka and Sanjay dutt are just fine..Apoorva lakhia's direction and screenplay is commendable but weak script, and bad execution overshadow it.

      All in all a poor remake with performances far below expectations.Its better to wait and watch Zanjeer on TV than wasting your precious money in multiplexes.

      I rate it 4 out of 10

      Zanjeer-The torment of my life

      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.

      Bad remake of an evergreen classic

      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 !!

      Regards, Sumeet Nadkarni.

      headache

      Its not worth spending even 2 hours. I don't know, what do people think for making such movies. Priyanka is also disappointing with her choice of movie and performance in the same. And who is that hero, I do not know the name exactly, he is not looking like a hero from any angle. Such kind of movies are spoiling the bollywood's image on people. Bollywood should ban these kind of movie. Even censor board should not allow such crap to release,because its not worth spending a single penny. For a case, if someone give me 1000 rs and ask me to watch, I would voluntarily deny the offer. many critics has given zero rating to this movie, which i think high rating for this movie.
