Watch it for Nana Patekar's Astonishing Performance!

Mehul Kumar's 1994 Box-Office Hit 'Krantiveer' is dark & disturbing. It isn't a a masterpiece though, but its an effective human-drama, that arrests your attention by its brash & brutal story. But, if there is a reason why this film is unmissable, its, without a shed of doubt, Nana Patekar's Astonishing Performance as the righteous/tough hero.

'Krantiveer' is a story about vengeance, love, hatred & racial-discrimination.

'Krantiveer' comes in-tact with some masterful, hard-hitting dialogue, that leave a terrific impact. Mehul Kumar's Direction is appropriate. Cinematography is perfect. Editing is sharp.

Nana Patekar left me astonished with his National-Award Winning Performance. The Actor takes an unforgettable turn & performs fearlessly from start to end. Its a performance, that deserves to be watched & respected! He's the soul of 'Krantiveer'.

On the whole, 'Krantiveer' is an effective film, along-with a performance that's utterly unforgettable.
