silvan-desouza When I heard that Apoorva Lakhia one of the bad filmmakers of Bollywood is remaking Zanjeer I was taken aback First of all there is nothing left to remake in that film, The plot has been done to death over the years, In fact Kurukshetra which released in 2000 too had a similar plot, Strangely in that film Mukesh Rishi played Pran's role while Sanju who plays Pran's role in this film played the lead. Let me come to the basics: Zanjeer was not a classic but was different when released though it's flashback plot was similar to Yaadon Ki Baraat released that year, yet the film was pathbreaking because the hero had no songs, he fought for justice.etc but today things have changed. Apoorva Lakhia has done lot changes though keeping some scenes, dialogues and also the narrative at times same, In that film Jaya's role was simple here it's played by Priyanka Chopra who comes from foreign to dance at a facebook friend's wedding....Yes right! Here the villain runs an Oil Mafia In that film, Pran's fight scene with Big B came earlier while here it's shown later but lacks the impact. The film starts well but stagnates soon, The scenes are hardly impactful, the Zanjeer reprised dialogue from the original looks pitifully duplicated. Some scenes are well handled like Vijay's clash with Prakash Raj but lack the same impact of the original. In fact the director seems relying on the original's stature to carry forward this film but sadly it falters even as a standalone film. In the original, we had Om Prakash tiping Big B, here his role is replaced by Atul Kulkarni A Journalist.The Mona scenes with Teja try too hard to be funny but end up being crude with sexual overtonesDirection by Apoorva Lakhia is nothing great Music is forgettable, The last song in credits is perhaps for audience to remember how great was the original.Ram Charan tries very hard, he has a good presence, but gives a very ordinary performance, he is mostly seen frowning and hardly impactful Priyanka Chopra overdoes the role, Sanjay Dutt has a brief role and does his part well, though not as impactful as Pran, In the last scene his voice is dubbed perhaps it was added later-on and he didn't dub for it Amongst rest Aditya Lakhia, Dayashankar Pandey are okay, Prakash Raj is getting repetitive and does his role in the same style of his earlier films and lacks the impact required to carry off the role. Mahi Gill overdoes her role, Atul Kulkarni is wasted

iftikharshahzada After seeing this movie I don't get it why such good actors and veterans such as Sanjay Dutt would do this movie seriously whatever the reason maybe it was a waste of their time. The newbie actor should have been given a much better intro than this movie. The writer whatever he wrote wasn't bad enough that the director took the remains of the lameness and sealed up the movie. The direction was very amateur remaking of a classic movie I think that the original makers of the movie must have just fainted. I need to ask the director myself that in the movie where Ram Charan first encounters with Sanjay Dutt without no reason Ram goes to Sanjay's place and starts fighting like did he have some sort of a preminition or what???? I mean what was that??? that's not direction that a huge flaw. There are many scenes that don't just add up and the whole movie was just a very waste of time. Two item songs were provided which obviously were thought that they will keep the ball rolling but they failed pathetically as for even an item song to go along the story and direction need to support the whole movie. The rest best of luck to the new actor Ram as you really need to make sure and pick your scripts by really getting into character I know I don't need to teach your acting but this is just a tip but for the director you need to still go through some more direction courses.

jaypatel7 Its not worth spending even 2 hours. I don't know, what do people think for making such movies. Priyanka is also disappointing with her choice of movie and performance in the same. And who is that hero, I do not know the name exactly, he is not looking like a hero from any angle. Such kind of movies are spoiling the bollywood's image on people. Bollywood should ban these kind of movie. Even censor board should not allow such crap to release,because its not worth spending a single penny. For a case, if someone give me 1000 rs and ask me to watch, I would voluntarily deny the offer. many critics has given zero rating to this movie, which i think high rating for this movie.

kamran_3012 It's clear that Bollywood wants to make Quick Money by Making Remakes . They Practically Screwed this Remake. I believe that Ram Charan is a Great Actor. He tried but debuting in a Bollywood movie which is a remake of a classic is stupid. Priyanka Chopra is a great actress we saw her in Barfi but does she have to shed clothes and be an arm candy in the movie? Why? Prakash Raj is Stereo-typed. Mahie Gill must watch her Previous movies and learn acting. The Only Good thing in the Movie is Sanjay Dutt. He does a Fab job but sadly his Screen time isn't that much which is BAD!!The Story is hammed. the Direct by Apoorva Lakhia is below average. the Music isn't great.The action is good.Overall, A Below Average fare.
