1 October 2011
Warning: Spoilers
Amitabh has done several double roles in his career, ADAALAT was one of his first ones after BANDHE HAATH(1973) In ADAALAT he plays a father-son

In the start he plays a simple villager who falls in problem and is arrested, then he takes revenge and then becomes a gangster His son returns from London and then there is a conflict between them

The movie starts well and slowly we are sweeped into the life of Dharma and keeps you engrossed throughout

Even the second half is handled well only flaws include the film tends to drag at times and also it's never shown who informs the Dharma The climax is well handled

Direction by Narendra Bedi is good Music is decent, Mukesh sings for Amitabh and the song BEHNA O BEHNA is superb, Kung Fu is good

Amitabh Bachchan excels in the dual role, this was the first time perhaps he played father-son followed by several more films The intensity in which he plays an AYM is matchless and he plays all facets of character superbly, as the son too he does a good job Waheeda excels, Neetu Singh does a decent job Anwar Hussain and the other villains are good in their roles Kader Khan excels
