Zanjeer

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.

well Zanjeer came with a lots of hype but received pale comments.coming to the story vijay khanna is a man of courage and will filled with sincerity makes his 23rd transfer in his five years from Hyderabad to Mumbai faces troubles,while Priyanka chopra was a n.r.i who visits Mumbai for her friend's marriage and unfortunately sees a murder.hence she meets Vijay and situations tends her to become a witness and so locks up here without returning to the u.s.Vijay starts the case chasing it up to prakashraj and the rest you have to watch it in the theater.despite the trailers and promos the movie went with a poor slow screenplay making it bore.in his rivalry with the villain every critic catches the point that hero is out of his laws and process till his victory then how can the movie justify only the director should know!. the one and only plus point is ramcharan's acting and so prakashraj's.sorry that this Telugu mega power star made his Bollywood debut as unmemorable.besides all the other crafts went disturbed.songs were good but non of the song was full in the movie.it was a perfect script and direction failure maybe running short of ideas.there is no perfect connections and logic's between the scenes and characters respectively.as there is no scope for comedy the viewers who expect it should return homes very disappointed.we should wait and see how much this movie can run for the box office collections.

Zanjeer 1973 propelled Amitabh Bachchan's career also it brought into existence "angry young man". How on earth, Apoorva Lakhia decided to remake this iconic movie and played with its novel values. It is just a crisscross of all the elements required to make a movie and the results are gauche, tiresome and mediocre.

'Zanjeer' is about.C.P Vijay Khanna (Ram Charan) who is transferred from Hyderabad to Mumbai (Note: He has been transferred 17 times in merely 5 years). He teams up with the murder witness Mala (Priyanka Chopra) and investigates the murder. All these investigations connect the dots to the oil mafia Mogul (Prakash Raj). Vijay tries to expose Teja, but in process he gets suspended.

Although story is the exact mock-up of Zanjeer (1973) but it is no match. It insults the cult scene between Amitabh & Pran in the police station; the fight between them is obnoxious, Priyaka-Ram Charan romance track is flat, Prakash Raj-Mahi Gill look unbearable and vulgar.

Ram Charan reprising Bachchan's role as Vijay Khanna, who tries really hard to get the Angry Young Man avatar but fails absurdly. He couldn't flex his facial expressions according to the role however; he sustains the only one facial expression throughout.

Sanjau Dutt looks ridiculous & indifferent as Sher Khan; it is definitely no match to iconic Pran. He does not share any chemistry with Ram Charan as both look distant.

Priyanka's character, NRI Mala, is intended to add some comic reliefs which are banal. She performs "Pinki Item Song" in her facebook friend's wedding and witnesses a murder and start living with Ram Charan. It does not give any reason behind the love story also any emotional grounds.

Prakash Raj is doing the same thing over and over again which is intolerable now and he also dresses like a ring master of any circus. Mahi Gill only does "MEOW", what a waste of such talented actress.

Unfortunately, I do not have an Idea what was Atul Kulkarni doing?

I don't remember any song of the movie but inappropriately used "Rghupati Raghav Raja Ram" track during fight sequence, which was atrocious.

It is high time, such nonsense should be stopped. 2.8/10

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 movie typifies the malaise within the Indian mainstream film industry. To think that if you can cram together all the elements that might go into making an entertaining film will ensure a successful film is not stupidity or ignorance, but hubris (thus demonstrating that hubris is stupidity and ignorance). Apoorva Lakhia must take all the blame for this film. But special mention must be made of Ram Charan as well. To think that an artist of his stature doesn't do enough of a quality check - it's a betrayal of the people spending time and money on this film. Priyanka Chopra, Sanjay Dutt, Prakash Raj and Atul Kulkarni do their bit of course and can't be faulted - except that maybe they shouldn't trust Lakhia again. Mahie Gill makes you wonder. Such a promising career and such talent. Choices likes these have the potential to ring the death knell for wonderful actors like her, and it is the corruption of the Indian film industry that forces actors to make terrible choices that ultimately backfire.

And why remake a movie if you're not going to elevate the original? This is tantamount to abuse and exploitation, and quite simply unforgivable. Karan Malhotra's reboot of Agneepath, on the other hand, was tribute to the original metamorphosing into truly surpassing the original (which, despite being a "cult classic", is shockingly poor in several bits).

The lesson to take away from this is that such a waste of resources is an insult to the audiences, and must have longer-standing consequences. The question is: the next time Lakhia gets a chance to put together an excellent cast and crew, will you forget that he was the one who demeaned you and belittled your intelligence with a 2013 film called Zanjeer?
