Ahankaar (1995) User Reviews

Good Movie and a GREAT song

[Li_85 · 7/10 · 20 September 2008]

Ahankaar is a good movie that has a typical 80s family storyline. The best thing about this movie is the most underrated song in Bollywood of all time. If you have not heard this song yet then please look for it and hear it for yourself. Tere Andar meri Jaan is a fabulous lovely song sang by Udit Nayaran and Alka Yagnik. Anyway the movie is a pretty decent fare and worth the watch. Mithun delivers a good performance and suits his role. Mamta was a unusual choice for this movie, but she did a pretty good job. Aroona Irani is one of Bollywoods vamps but in the 90s she did mother roles and this is a good example of her good work. The supporting cast were average to good. This movie is recommended by me the film genius so go and watch it.

An entertainer!

Ashim Samanta's 1995 hit 'Ahankaar' is a typical Bollywood family drama. The twist in the tale is that its protagonist is dumb... but has a bunch of conning people in his family, minus his mother, and a lot of baddies also. The film script is mediocre, but the filmmaker handles the script with ease. 'Ahankaar' works because not for once your disconnected from the film, your entertained completely. A winner all the way. Two Thumbs Up!

Pluses of the film: The filmmaker has handled the script with ease, as said before. The film is a complete family entertainer. The film has lovely songs, music by Anu Malik. Tere Andar Meri Jaan and Oh Bamba Oh are chart-busters. Performances are perfect: Mithun can never be doubted, he's excellent as always. Mamta is decent. Aroona Irani is superb, Monish Bahl is good. Prem Chopra and others are perfect.

Minuses: Not many.

on the whole 'Ahankaar' is a time-pass flick.
