Today i saw DEEWAR(1975) for the third time this year(2006).I have seen this movie about ten time or so but this is one film which is a standard one...a film worth wasting 3 hours. Mr.Amitabh Bachchan clearly showed his power in the movie. The ease with which he turned from a coolie to an underworld don...oh my god!Its completely amazing and admirable! He proved that he is better than the best!His performance was breath-taking....spellbinding...amazing...wonderful...outstanding!The world searches for words to describe this man!
Vijay Verma{AB} was a man who loved him mother too deeply...and his love for his mother forced him to do bad deeds.He was the one who suffered the injustice of the society. He skips studies and goes to work in the footpaths as a child to help his mother and make his younger brother study and achieve his goals.He grows into a coolie and his younger brother Ravi Verna ( Shashi Kapoor) grows into a graduated man seeking a job.
At that time, Vijay gets into a fight with some goons of an underworld don seeing the injustice shown to a poor worker by the latter which results in the worker's death. Vijay beats them all and his name spreads among the other workers. He is called by another don-Daawar to help him carry out the smuggling businesses. Vijay, In order to wipe away the tears of his mother and to give her a good life, agrees to the the job. He soon becomes the Saviour of the gang and is the head in a short time. At this time,Ravi becomes a police officer who is very true at his work He soon finds out that his brother made all his wealth through smuggling He and his mother leave the house of vi-jay, breaking the poor man's heart.
The movie also has Parveen Babi, Neetu singh pairing opposite Amitabh and Shashi respectively. The film ends with Vijay being shot dead by his own brother.That Scene is considered the best in the movie-The scene where Vijay dies on the lap of his mother.Mr.Bachchan's acting was fabulous in the movie....the scene is a clear cut example for it. Most of the other scenes too are awesome. Some of the best are : 1:First and formost, the last scene when Amitabh dies in lap of Nirupa Roy{who portrays his mother}...clearly the best scene...Amitabh's acting make you awe him!!! 2:Ravi confronting Vijay and asking him to sign the paper confessing his underworld connections. Great scene and superb dialog!!! 3:Parveen asking Amitabh to do plastic surgery and remove the writing in his hand that his father is a thief. The intensity of AB'S eyes in that scene...worth a standing ovation!!! 4:The scene when Vijay says "I have mansion, money...blah blah...what do you have ?" to Ravi and Ravi answering "I have mother!" and the expression on Amitabh face...superb dialog and so well enacted!!! 5:The scene when Amitabh becomes the head of the gang and he sits in the seat of Daavar and places his legs on the table...the look on his face-Triumph, anguish, win after such suffering!!! The number of good scenes go on and on,....In fact Deewaar is a film which has just too many good points!!!
The film is very well directed and the plot rocks. And the script and dialogs too are wonderful!!! The performances were spellbinding especially the Big B's He portrayed the Vijay so well that, people bow their heads to this great actor who is brimming with talent. Shashi capo ably supported amitabh and he truly deserves the award for the best actor in a supporting role which he got.But the fact remains that he is overshadowed by Amitabh's powerhouse performance. Though Vijay has done many wrongs, you still get to love him. Its all credit to Amitabh for that. In short this film is a legend...a classic...a wonder of a movie! A must watch...with Amitabh at his best!
Deewaar and Sholay which released in the same year are the biggest hits of Amitabh...and deservingly so!!!
