Trivia:

The line, "sophisticated rhetorician intoxicated with the exuberance of your own verbosity" that is spoken by Anthony when he emerges from the Easter egg is an almost exact quotation from a speech given by Benjamin Disraeli in 1878. Disraeli (who was referring to W.E. Gladstone) used the word "inebriated" rather than "intoxicated".

Quotes:

Kishanlal: Jenny, Jenny, my child

you're in for a good movie

Amar Akbar Anthony is a film about three brothers who get separated at a very young age and have their own interests and religions. The three heroines, Parveen babi, shabana azmi and Neetu singh do a good job and get who they want to be with. The three heros, Amitabh bachan,Vinod khanna and Rishi kapoor do their job.

This film is good and the producer did a good job of the story and i think if there was to be a remake of this film it woulden't be the same. Nirupa roy and Pran do a good job of their role as Amar Akbar Anthony's mum and dad.

Amitabh bachan steals the show by performing the song "My name is anthony gonsalves" but at the end the three heros perform a song together which is "Amar Akbar Anthony" all the songs are good but those two are one of my favourites.

over all the film deserves a 10/10 and i'd recommend this film to anyone.
