I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.

Captivating movie !

Blistering performances.

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

Amitabh has done a good job, in the father role (David), although he is shown aged and with a rugged beard. Amitabh always outperforms in angry, emotionally charged and frantically suspenseful roles. While portraying anguished roles in tough situations ridden with crises and brazen suspense, Amitabh is second to none.His dialogue delivery and screen presence is a feast for the eyes when he utters the deep rooted words with stoic vengeance bursting from his moist smoldering eyes. He has always excelled in melodramatic and angry scenes which happens to be the culmination of his acting prowess.With Dewaar, Sholay, Shakti and Kabhi Kabhi(to a lessor extent), this movie qualifies to be a must see picture, with all the suspense which would defy Alfred Hitchcock's effects and all the melodrama which would overshadow the skills of William Wyler.

Some voices said that this was the last best thing we received from the first (Amitabh Bachchan), before the short retirement of the 1990s, and the chain of flops after, then the return with the white hair and the father role. Actually back then, in 1986, for most of us in Egypt (Bachchan) wasn't the best of the Indian cinema, No, he was the Indian cinema, and to tell you the truth most of his works at the moment for what they were.. They were masterpieces. Here, I just can't hold my admiration for this script, it was exceptional. It achieves all what the formula needs and sanely too. There were some action, clever melodrama, hot characters, and smart conflict between law and vigilantism. In fact it doesn't complete without political satire. Yes, it's another revenge story to join the huge amount of Indian movies that deal with that but respectfully it ranks on the top of the pyramid. It's so touching and compact however with some weak points : it was kind of vague did (Anupam Kher) involve in the crime of rape or not ?, how (Bachchan) learned to be that genius planner as criminal ?, where is the train which was big part of the second assassination ?, or how (Kher) speaks out the father's entire hidden history to his disguised son all at once so damn easily !, and the most serious of them all : (Bachchan) as the son knew the awful truth near the end and, in despite of that, he continues guarding the one who rapped his mother and jailed wrongfully his father !??? That was totally provocative and not convincing. Actually that weakened the finale effect violently. Moreover, the intro of (Vijay/Bachchan) where he smashes the doors by his feet, and hits the whole gang all by himself to witness them all fly by his fist saying (I Hate Criminals !), it wasn't the intro of inspector Vijay, it was more like the intro of Amitabh Bachchan !. Also (Anupam Kher)'s comic moments were unnecessary.On the other hand, observe some intense scenes just like the first meeting between the father and his son in English (great stuff), some truly sensitive moment like the one in which the son removes sands over his mom's grave and wipes out her tears in the same time; what a wonderful moment of "cinema" that was. And the perfect flashbacks to regain the past and feel its domination.(K. Bhagyaraja) was more brilliant as its writer more than its director. Certainly as the director he managed to make it nicely and sedately with prudent editing and big cadres to embody the mightiness of the events and the agony of the lead, but he lacked stronger force to push it higher as it missed some refulgence. For instance he totally mastered the last meeting between the father and the son at the cemetery (before the climatic facing at the end), but maybe he didn't master the whole movie as distinguished as this. In brief I felt that nearly everything was less skill than the writing.(Bachchan) pulled it off strongly through the 2 roles he played. Though the movie provided him with 2 good characters, but he suffered from a bit of manipulation in the script that decreased some of the creditability. It's not the best of (Bachchan), but it's definitely one of the best scripts for a movie he was in, and one of his best performances as a real actor. It remains as one movie with special sad personality amongst his entire legacy. It wouldn't be fair to not mention its most memorable line.. Where (Bachchan) as the father came out of jail to discover that his friend, who let his son with to bring up as criminal, brought him up as a police officer, he said in anguish : "I gave you a lamp to light up my life, and you burned me to light up yours !". Even if you thought that you've seen it all before, and despite its own weakness, it's Impressive work. Sometimes we're too shy to admit that melodrama works, but it does, and (Aakhree Raasta) is nearly a good example for that.

Aakhree Raasta is a basic story about revenge. 25 years After being released from prison for the Rape of his wife that he did not commit. Amitabh goes on a quest of Revenge on the three men responsible. Stopping him from these murders and threats are his very own son. His son also played by Amitabh Bachchan is not aware that this man who has threatened to kill these 3 mens is actually his father. This is an enjoyable Police action drama. The older Amitabh delivers a very powerful performance as the emotionally angry old man, hungry for revenge. The movie also Stars the very Talented Sri devi, who was the Top actress at the time. The films weakness would be some of the unnecessary flashbacks and slow pacing. The movie is almost 3 hours long and could do with a lot of editing. The movie still succeeds in entertaining. Just Another Amitabh Classic not to be missed.

When Amitabh did the film Shakti with Dilip Kumar, it was the passing of the torch from the previous champion to the reigning champion. People spoke of how the old master had outdone the new champion with his performance. 14 years later we were to see an older Amitabh with the role reversed. Who would be the actor to reprise the role of the young upstart? Step forward... Amitabh!!! The performances given by Amitabh in the dual role are better than the performances given by Amitabh and Dilip in Shakti.I watched the entire film with a tear in my eye. When you put yourself in the father's position what would you do? Or as the son, could you really follow duty given the circumstances? I know that I couldn't...This film is very well made and performances are strong. If I was asked to recommend a film to show a great performance from Amitabh, this would be it. I would recommend this film over Sholay, Deewar and even my all time favourite Amitabh movie... Agneepath. Just get hold of a copy of this film and see a master of cinema give a devastating performance.
