Watch Nastik For Free

Surprisingly incoherent and boring

If you like to be scared, if you like to laugh, and if you like to learn a thing or two at the movies, this absolutely cannot be missed.

Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

This film is OK for the first half where Amitabh meets Hema and Pran and all of them start robbing people but the second half where Amitabh's mother comes it just gets stupidAmitabh plays the son of a priest whose father is killed by Amjad Khan Amitabh takes revenge by blinding him and then takes to crime Amitabh's hatred towards GodPramod Chakravoty gave good direction but didn't handle a few scenes right such as Nalini Jaywant slapping Amitabh right in the face even though she cannot see and still had accuracyAbove all the cast Amitabh shows potential Hema Malini is funny Pran gives a decent performances Deven Varma is funny Amjad Khan is menacing as the villain Madan Puri is funny Nalini Jaywant is stupid

In 70s and 80s several films were made on lost and found theme NASTIK which released in 1983 is another of those.The film also focuses on a religious theme, wherein the hero is an atheist due to injustice done to him in childhood The movie suddenly changes gears to a light thief based movie where Amitabh, Pran and Hema con people and there is no sight of that angle for half the movie till Amitabh spots his mother he thought she was deadRest of the film follows the typical mundane twists till the predictable endThe film has several unbelievable stunts like Amitabh jumping from ground floor to top floor and also shooting though tied upside down.etc Also there is overdose of songs and actionDirection by pramod Chakravarthy is decent Music by Kalyanji Anandji is good especially Aaj ka yeh din(kishore) and Pyaare tere pyar mein(Amit Kumar, Asha)Amongst actors Amitabh does his routine act but does it well, surprisingly in the same year he starred in PUKAR where he was against the krantikaris here he is against God, sort of similar thing but yet he does it very well as usual though the film released during his bad days just after his accident and his spate of not too successful films in 1983 he began to put on weight too Hema Malini(last film with Bachchan till baghban) looks thinner then Naseeb and does well for her role Pran plays the similar Zanjeer type chor act who has a heart of gold and does well Amjad Khan too is as usual the villain but does well though looks too fat this perhaps is Amit-Amjad's last film together Amongst rest the actress playing Amitabh's mother is terrible rest are okay Deven Verma and Madan Puri are funny

Okay.If you are about to watch the movie you must be a Hindi movie buff or a Big B fan!In which case you can afford to watch it.All the others stay off it.Big B does a few tricks in this movie that even Rajni Kant can learn from.Like how to propel oneself from the ground to the first floor with just a slight jerk of your shoulders and a ludicrous background squeal,and how to shoot goons while you are hung upside down. :-)! Hema Malini and Pran have seen better ages but still both of them are there.If you know all this and still don't mind watching the movie,then it is fun.I knew it.I enjoyed it.But be warned!

Great movie, great acting, great songs. Amitabh is amazing as usual in his role as Shankar. Amjad Khan gives a fantastic performance as well as the villain Tiger. Pran is also great in his role as Amitabh's friend and a father in pain. The storyline is that of revenge (in an indian movie, nooo!). Amitabh plays the "Nastik", a man who shuns his religion because his faith could not save a loved one. Hema Malini also stars as the heroine. I give this movie an 8 out of 10.
