      The music was fantastic

      In Soviet era Indian movies were so famous.

      So according to even my grandparent knew and liked indian movies.

      I watched this movie i think when i was 6 or 7 , i guess from VHS.

      I think my grandpa showed me this movie. At that time i was so good for me. The music was fantastic and also the story.

      When he baceme rich i was so happy, i was kid ;)

      A nice drama

      Movie is good ,satisfying,gives lighter moments,have some stupid but funny scenes.Ii is touchy and a good emotional drama.A good time pass for 186 minutes. It is the movie which shows a father -son relationship with some moral values.A illiterate person can be successful due to his qualities,his moral values and etc etc.. Amitabh is a legend and this movie is a good example of his high class acting.His role as a Hera is simple superb. It is much different from movies which show simple fight scenes, copied stories. Sooryavansham for everyone and not for a particular age-group. In my views this movie is at least one time watch.

      Great movie, Amitabh's performance deserves awards.

      This has to be the best Amitabh Bachchan film since his comeback. Amitabh's acting is superb in this film. The songs are not that great with exception to one (Koray Koray Sapne). These are the kind of films Amitabh should be choosing, the kind where his characters grow. If you have a chance to watch this movie, do it, because it is a great movie, with great dialogue. I give it an 8 out of 10.

      great story

      Great Movie, specially in both characters of Amitabh, in a father and in a son, really great.

      In reality how a father feels for a son, and a son what feels after being taunted by father, both characters are superb in the movie, and songs are also a plus point.

      I appreciate the story writer and the directer for bringing this issue up on the screen. and acting of Amitabh, Kay Kenna.

      The others also play nice roles, and they didn't bother the story.

      A little comedy is essential in the story, so there is.

      Amitabh as Heera, suits him. I would like to say all the fathers to see this movie.

      A different Son would have given better Results

      Though Big B as father was top class but as a Son he looked quite tired and old. A fresh different face would have done wonders in the Box Office collections. A typical South Indian Platter with a bit of North Indian Tadka.
