Krantiveer (1994)
5/10
Nana Patekar shines but film fails to impress

Warning: Spoilers
Nana Patekar plays a hot blooded aimless boy(more like a mid age man), Pratap. Paresh Rawal plays his father. Ironically he is only six monther older than Nana in real life.

Pratap always had revolutionary ideas but he didn't want to be involved in any social work. Megha dixit (Dimple Kapadia) is always trying to inspire him to raise his voice against the injustice going on with the people of Laxmi nagar. But ,two horrible events happen in his life, that lead him to become Krantiveer.

He just enters the building where a party meeting was going on. Dressed up as a watchman, he shoots all the ministers. All so easy for him.

But one of his enemies is alive. Chatur Singh(Danny) faked his death earlier. But he doesn't wish to be alive. So, goes to kill him but instead,starts shooting common people. And then Pratap kills him. Does all this make sense?

Except for the ending speech by Nana Patekar, nothing is great. He has been given a flashback story where her mother told him not to show her his face again. It was not needed at all.

The worst seen is in which he makes Megha his bride for one day(his last day) and her mother was happy. That would have been disasterous for her.

The film is been elevated heavily by Nana Patekar's acting. Very unsatisfying.
