Amitabh Bachchan's career was on an all-time high in 1975 when he got 2 blockbusters SHOLAY and DEEWAAR, since that year he got a jump in his career, in 1976 he starred in several films, Blockbusters like Kabhie Kabhie while several films were average runners like ADAALAT, DO ANJAANE.
DO ANJANE is an underrated film, The story of the film was ahead of it's times, it showed the heroine as a complete negative character. It showed her as a realistic women who wants to achieve her goals.
The film starts with Bachchan on the tracks lieing half dead, he is brought home but he seems to have lost his memory and he seems confused about everything, the film starts in a thriller mode and then shifts to the flashback where Amit(Big B's real name) and Rekha(Rekha) get married, the problems Amit faces seem true to life and the scenes are well handled, We sympathise with Amit, there are also scenes which make you laugh like Big B scared about his suhaag raat and the entire chaos that happens after suhaag raat. Prem Chopra's entry brings a good twist and the film has several superb scenes that follow: The film has the later to become famous drunk scenes of Big B, his scene with Prem Chopra first is one of his best and also one of the best of bollywood drunk scenes. The twists and turns keep you on tenterhooks and the train scene is simply superb and provides a superb twist. Bachchan's revenge story too seems superb though it follows the filmy routine where people get fooled easily. The scene in the child's school is very emotional and works well and also the scenes that follow. The climax seems too hurried and happy end. Ideally the film should've not had a happy ending, that would seem believable
Direction by Dulal Guha is good Music is good too by Kalyanji Anandji, though songs are few Luka Chup is superbly sung by Kishore Kumar in both versions, while Rekha's dance songs are good too
Amitabh Bachchan excels as usual, He is the best portraying both the lovable husband and also the revenge seeking Producer. There is a believability in his act, his eyes convey it all superbly too The best thing about him is that he makes you feel that the pain is for real and he can portray anything so brilliantly, Another proof of his versatility. His drunk scenes are fabulous and seem natural His chemistry with Rekha(with whom he starred for the first time perhaps as leads in Namak haraam she was paired opp Rajesh Khanna) is superb Rekha those days was dark and her Hindi wasn't that perfect as she was south Indian but she does a superb job and portrays her evil character to perfection. Prem Chopra is superb as Ranjit Malik, Utpal Dutt is fabulous Lalitha Pawar is typecast, This is one of Mithun's first appearances, he has 2-3 scenes which he did for the director who was his roommate. he is okay. Rest are okay
