Watch Deewaar For Free

The Worst Film Ever

Good start, but then it gets ruined

Bad Acting and worse Bad Screenplay

Watching it is like watching the spectacle of a class clown at their best: you laugh at their jokes, instigate their defiance, and "ooooh" when they get in trouble.

When we have assimilated the rave views let's look at the glaring goofs in the film!It starts with a flashback of a mother's memories but in the flashback are intimate details and very private matters about her sons which she never saw!Okay let's forget about that!the director must have gotten confused! Now take Vijay's slim, slender body and his first fight with the dockyard gangsters behind locked doors!He is beaten with a spade,not a plastic one, yet whereas a normal man would surely be out for several hours from such blows Vijay seems to gain strength from this beating!The acting is superb of course as well as the script but the ideas are taken from Hollywood as usual.The slickness of the movie hood-winked the plausible public but it would have been a better movie had there been more realism like the true facts about Haji Mastaan!He was not simply a smuggler but a champion of the weak and helpless of Bombay and especially the Muslims!Somewhere in his youth he was humilated,beaten and disgraced by the Hindus and took to crime to settle that account and give the Muslims of Bombay protection.

Released in 1975 after "Sholay" and at a time when the then Indian Prime Minister, the late Mrs. Indira Gandhi, declared a National state of Emergency, this was written by the famous duo writers Salim - Javed, who were said to be partly inspired by the real life smuggler, Haji Mastan.Vijay an Ravi, two brothers react differently about their childhood humiliation after their father is wrongfully accused of being a thief - he is a union leader who fights for the rights of his men but succumbs to demands when is shown photographs of his family being kidnapped by the boss of the company. Ravi becomes a police officer, while Vijay becomes a criminal. Their mother becomes their mutual bone of contention.Starring Amitabh Bachchan, Shashi Kapoor, Neetu Singh, Nirupa Roy, Parveen Babi, Manmohan Krishna, Madan Puri, Ifteqar, Jagdish Raj, Rajkishore and A K Hangal, this is produced by Gulshan Rai and is Directed by Yash Chopra.Deewar was not like Sholay at all, even though it was written by the famous duo writers as mentioned. But after the release of this movie, Amitabh Bachchan was recognised as "Vijay." There are some very memorable scenes and dialogues in this movie such as those when Ravi asks his brother to sign a paper, then the one where the two brothers meet under a bridge where they had spent their childhood and struggling to survive. These are also the same scenes, with perhaps one or two more that can be added, which if one really thinks emotionally about, then it will make you weep. And for those who, in real life, have experienced such events, are able to reflect their circumstances and say "I have been through that as well.This is a hard hitting, classic movie, which is worth watching when ever one is able to.

Amitabh Bachchan plays Vijay Verma, brother of a righteous police officer, who comes to resent society for the suffering it has brought upon his mother (and himself). After his dad abandons the family, Vijay and his Mum have to work like slaves to earn a little money to send brother Ravi to school. Ravi becomes a top student and joins the police as a top officer. Meanwhile, Vijay becomes increasingly bitter about the indignities inflicted by him & his mother because they are poor. When he gets a chance to earn some more money he can't say no, even though it involves working for a known smuggler. He quickly rises to become the smuggler's right hand man and becomes rather wealthy as a result. But Vijay's new career creates a rift with his brother that inevitably leads to conflict... but of course it's poor mum that suffers the most.Deewar was made close to the start of the Amitabh Bachchan phenomenon, and contributed no small amount to it. His performance as the angry young man who drifts to the wrong side of the tracks is brilliant - balancing turbulent fury with his charisma and cool.Yash Chopra and writer Salim Javed flood the movie with huge amounts of melodrama (not especially unusual in Bollywood), but take to extremes some things and scenes that would have been better left a little more subtle. The movie is quite complex and layered - something much easier to accomplish when you have 3 hours to explore and develop things, as with most Bollywood movies. The excess of melodrama becomes quite draining over such a length of time though.Quite a good movie, but definitely not as much fun as other Amitabh/Salim Javed pairings such as SHOLAY, SHAAN and the inimitable DON.

Nothing could be better and more real depiction of a real life than this movie! Excellent performance of Amitabh which proves that his acting is near real and momentarily you forget that you are still only watching celluloid. Great script encapsulating how the wishes of rags to riches ruin a fine, brave man! I dont remember how many times I have watched this movie, but each time is an experience in itself.Bravo Amit and the rest ofcourse who aided to have him achieve this performance!!
