Zanjeer

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 !!

After seeing this movie I don't get it why such good actors and veterans such as Sanjay Dutt would do this movie seriously whatever the reason maybe it was a waste of their time. The newbie actor should have been given a much better intro than this movie. The writer whatever he wrote wasn't bad enough that the director took the remains of the lameness and sealed up the movie. The direction was very amateur remaking of a classic movie I think that the original makers of the movie must have just fainted.

I need to ask the director myself that in the movie where Ram Charan first encounters with Sanjay Dutt without no reason Ram goes to Sanjay's place and starts fighting like did he have some sort of a preminition or what???? I mean what was that??? that's not direction that a huge flaw. There are many scenes that don't just add up and the whole movie was just a very waste of time. Two item songs were provided which obviously were thought that they will keep the ball rolling but they failed pathetically as for even an item song to go along the story and direction need to support the whole movie.

The rest best of luck to the new actor Ram as you really need to make sure and pick your scripts by really getting into character I know I don't need to teach your acting but this is just a tip but for the director you need to still go through some more direction courses.

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

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.

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.
