Amitabh's comic act
4 May 2009 | by (India) – See all my reviews

Prakash MEHRA gave many different kinda films with Bachchan NAMAK HALAAL had him in a fully comic act

The film brought Amitabh and Shashi in a comic film together barring this and DO AUR DO PAANCH they did mostly serious stuff

Their chemistry is awesome always

The film is a typical type and nothing great but Amitabh's village bumpkin act makes it a joyride though at times the director makes him the angry young man suddenly

The film is a typical clichéd 80's cinema but lots of stupidity and melodrama

Prakash Mehra does an okay job Music was a big hit

Amitabh excelled in his comic act and is a pleasure, His monologue with Ranjeet is memorable Shashi looking old and out of shape is decent Parveen Babi is as usual Ranjeet is as usual, Satyen Kapu is okay as the villain Waheeda Rehman and Om Prakash are as usual
