Amitabh Bachchan has a strong legacy and he has done the most dual roles in his career then other actors and mostly brought a great variation to both In ADALAT(1977) he played father and son(there too wronged father and good son) and in MAHAAN(83) he again played a father and dual roles of sons(here too one was a cop and the other a runaway victim)AAKHREE RAASTA is one of Bachchan's best films The film came in 1986 when Bachchan was busy in politics and hardly films were releasingBut the film is one of his best films and did a decent business at the BOThe film is a nice story well told The film starts off very well, coming to the point quickly and the problems faced by Bachchan are well handled and the film manages to keep you interested throughout The film has several wonderful moments like the first face to face between both Bachchans, The pain that both Bachchans go through is well handled There were few problems in the film like there are some cinematic liberties like the ease at which Bachchan kills the 2 people but that is forgivable There are some more flaws too but otherwise the mature handling overpowers the minussesDirection by K Bhagyaraj is very good Writing is a bit weak at places like a few flaws are there but mostly it's tight Music is okayAmongst actors Bachchan again plays a father and son after DESH PREMEE, MAHAAN and ADALAT and he does a fab job He does a brilliant job in the father's part and also in the son's part though he looks old for the Son's role and he had started putting on weight yet he does a great job The face offs between both are wonderful and also the emotional parts Sridevi is good in her part, Jaya Pradha is alrightAmongst rest Om Shivpuri is adequate Sadashiv Amrapurkar is okay, Dalip Tahil and Bharat Kapoor are as usual Anupam Kher(though he was only 30 ) played Bachchan(Vijay)'s father very well though he does go OTT at times
