Deewaar (1975)

I guess after Sholay this is one of the best movies in Indian cinema. A must see. This movie is one of the finest blend of movie in Indian cinema. What a terrific performance from Mr. Bachchan, the direction, dialogs, acting everything mixed so well.

This story loosely based on one time underworld don "HAJI MASTAAN", he was a dock yard worker, which played by Amitabh Bachhan (vijay).

Story started with a union leader who fought for their rights. But the owners of the factory plotted conspiracy and termed him a thief. His family could not face the society and moved out from that place. The older son could not forget this and became a sensitive person. In circumstances he kept his feet in criminal world and soon became underworld don. But his brother became a cop and he's now trying to nab his brother. Director tackles this story quite well.

Fmovies: Most Critics say Sholay is the best film of all time, Deewar was released in the same year. Instead of Sholay winning all the awards it was Deewar. Deewar won almost every single award in the 1975 Filmfare Awards. Amitabh in yet another Powerhouse performance playing the very serious and disturbed angry man who went through a bizarre incident when he was young that causes him anger through out the film. Shashi Kapoor was impressive as the confused brother. Nirupa Roy is Fantastic in almost every film alongside Amitabh. Nirupa is popular in India known as Amitabhs Mother, since they have made many films together. The Late Nirupa Roy gives a Magnificent Performance as the mother who goes through hardship and dilemma. In my opinion this is Yash Chopra Finest Work. A Masterpiece that i can say is One of Bollywood Best Movies.

What can you say about Deewar. There are some movies you watch and you remember them for your life. They are art work (not an art film). It is just pleasant to watch them again and again. I miss the count how many times I have seen Deewar and every time it is fresh.

Movies like Deewar, Kalia, Sholay, Mukaddar ka Sikendar, Silsila, Anand, Shaan, ... no matter how hard you try, but you just cant get bored with them.

Amitabh's performance (not because he got award for it) is simply great. That way Big B is truly Big B .. no doubt about that. But such movies make him even greater.

A must watch!!

Deewaar fmovies. 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.

One of the best movies of Indian Cinema. This is a must see for all Bollywood movies lover. What a performance from Amitabh Bachchan!! I don't have words for it. I doubt anybody could make such a movie in future or anybody could act like Amitabh, God of Indian Cinema.

Loosely based on Haji Mastan's life, this movie portrays the life of Vijay from a dockyard worker to an underworld don. Legend is Amitabh Bachchan met Haji Mastan in a race course in Bombay before the shooting of Deewar started. He saw the moist eyes of Haji Mastan and was quite impressed with them. In an interview he said he tried his best to make his eyes look moist to add life to the character. Amazing script by Salim Javed and direction by Yash Chopra.

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!!
