My Review:A thought provoking movie way ahead of its time.".VERY MUCH DISHEARTENED TO KNOW THAT AAMIR KHAN HAS COPIED THE THE WHOLE CONCEPT IN "PEEPLI LIVE".THE STORY IS DITTO.FARMER ANNOUNCES THE DATE OF COMMITING SUICIDE WHICH BECOMES THE BREAKING NEWS ON ALL T.V CHANNELS, WITH DIFFERENT POLITICAL PARTIES WANTING TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE SITUATION.IN MAIN AZAAD HOON AMITABH'S CHARACTER COMES TO A CITY FOR JOB & AGREES TO BE A PART OF BREAKING NEWS FOR MONEY WITH FAKE NAME CALLED "AZAAD".SHABANA AAZMI IS THE REPORTER WHO MAKES HIM DO THAT.THE NEWS APPEARS IN PAPERS THAT "AZAAD" WILL COMMIT SUICIDE ON 26TH JANUARY AS A PROTEST AGAINST THE RULING PARTY.THE NEWS SPREADS LIKE A WILD FIRE & AZAAD BECOMES AN OVERNIGHT HERO.OPPOSITION PARTY TRIES TO GET AZAAD ON THEIR SIDE.THE OWNER OF THE NEWS PAPER HAS ALL THE RIGHTS OVER AZAAD & HAS HIS OWN POLITICAL AMBITIONS. NOW THE QUESTION IS WILL HE OR WON'T HE COMMIT SUICIDE?THE RULING PARTY ANNOUNCES CURFEW ON 26TH JANUARY TO PREVENT AZAAD FROM COMMITTING SUICIDE.THE CLIMAX IS GREAT.THIS IS UNDOUBTEDLY ONE OF AMITABH'S BEST FILMS IN MY LIST.UNFORTUNATELY DIDN'T DO WELL.BUT I WAS SHOCKED TO SEE AAMIR COPY HIM.
My Ratings:4/5(watch it.The whole movie is on youtube in parts)
Hey mehul.. this is one of my all time favorite movies... did you know this movie was based on "Meet John Doe" - 1941. That one was a comedy and very well done... dont know why the makes made it so sensitive and serious in Hindi copy. nonetheless, this i love this movei and i liked amitabh bachchan... amazing acting!
