Ramesh Sippy who directed Bachchan in SHAKTI and SHOLAY and many more films The film AKAYLA has Amitabh playing a drunk cop The story isn't new or fanciful but it's well handled

The film also has Amitabh-Shashi after a long time together and for the last time perhaps together Shashi played Bachchan's senior officer in this, looking overweight and old though he is just 4 years older to Bachchan in real life Bachchan too looked old and his wrinkles showed

The film slows down in between and drags but catches your attention at times while at times it succumbs to mediocrity

Direction is good at times and bad at times Music is okay

Amitabh excels like always, using his expressions to convey a lot Aditya Panshcoli is okay, Shashi Kapoor is okay in a small role the villain hams it up
