Amitabh shines as "Vijay"
By filmbuff2004 from Surrey , 05 Apr 2004[Highly rated reviewer]
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.
Amitabh Bachchan steals the show with his inner turmoil mixed with anger and tears, balancing turbulent fury with charisma and cool one of his finest performances to date. This film followed closely by Sholay really established him as untouchable Bollywood powerhouse. Amar Akbar Anthony was proof he had a comic side too after that he was termed as "a one man industry."

Its a smugglers life for me........
By a customer from London, England , 19 Feb 2007Good film. Funny and fun. Very moralistic though and personally I would have been gutted if my brother would have been that upset with me if all I was doing was smuggling. It wasnt like he hurt anyone. Especially after all the sacrifices he made.
Anyway, good performances and full of action. A good way to spend a Thursday night.
One last thing though, did the train not get cleaned for twenty years ????- Was this review helpful to you?
