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!!
