Gardish (1993)
Scintillating performance by Jackie Shroff and Amrish Puri
When you finish watching the Priyadarshan blockbuster, it leaves an impact upon the viewers how a film could be made in a different and stylish way. The making is praiseworthy. Perhaps, it is the best performance by the whole casting crew at a time when Bollywood films seemed a bit stereo-typed and melodramatic. But in this film the drama is held at par with the script. Kudos to Priyadarshan for penning such a script which brings out outstanding scenes between the father (Amrish Puri)and his son, Shiva(Jackie Shroff), highlighting the emotional ups and downs between the two. The breath taking fighting sequences between Shiva (Jackie Shroff) and local goon Billa (Mukesh Rishi) look much more real. The song "Hum na samjhe the baat itni si " is the appropriate and most melodious song as the script demands.
South Indian actress Aishwarya in the role of Shiva's fiancée looks simple and sweet. Others like Dimple, Mukesh Rishi, Annu Kapoor have done justice to their screen presence. Cinematography is awesome and it lenses Mumbai from a different viewpoint never presented before in any other Hindi film. It has also hilarious comic scenes to relieve the audiences from the tension which is predominant in the movie. Music by R.D. Burman and lyrics by Javed Akhtar act as a super combo.
