Review of Deewaar

Deewaar (1975)
10/10
Cult Classic of Indain Cineam
19 November 2009
Deewar is my one of the favorite's, the main credit goes to the script writer (Salim- Javed) and of-course legendary Yash Chopra, who is such a fine craftsman. Deewar has no extra ordinary story, its the characters which make this movie as a cult classic.

For me deewar is one of those movies which was quite ahead of its time; dealing with the theme of good and evil Yash chopra has done complete justice with it.

The scene shot below the bridge is one of the best scene ever shot and again its the characters which should be credited for it and the punch line, Mere Paas Ma Hai.

In one of the scenes, Vijay (Amitabh) makes a deal with a builder, after deal is done, builder advises Vijay that he is not good in business as he has purchased at a much higher price. The way Vijay reverts is simply mind blowing, no words can ever express that intensity which vijay intents at that particular moment.

Another best part is the love angle between Amitabh and Praveen babhi is not given much of importance, unlike of our tradional cinema.

The last scene of the movie, where vijay prays for his Mom is again tremendous and full of energy, he has simply transformed the cliché dialog into one of the most memorable ones; "Aaj Kush to bahut honge tum" Although Vijay (Amitabh) portray's the gray shaded character and Ravi (Shashi Kapoor) plays the honest cop, its vijay which impacts and connects more then Ravi's character, thats why i said it was way ahead of its time.

The character of Vijay is based on the real character, Haji Mastan big time smuggler from Mumbai.

After watching movies like Deewar, Trishul and Kabhi Kabhi, i always baffles about the current choice of Chopra camp. God Bless them with some Sane ideas.
