As a fan of Amitabh Bachchan, I have watched Agneepath (1992) numerous times. Recently, I had the chance to re-watch Deewaar (1975). I was very young when I first watched it so I wanted a refresh. Halfway through watching Deewaar, I started experiencing déjà vu. Initially, I thought I might be mistaken. However, as the movie progressed, I noticed several striking similarities between the two films. Although I haven't researched this topic in depth, here are some observations I've made. I'd love to hear your thoughts.

Agneepath: At the beginning, the father sides with the village people and is punished.

Deewaar: At the beginning, the father sides with the factory workers, gets into trouble, and punishes himself.

Agneepath: Due to the father's death, the family is displaced and left on the street.

Deewaar: Due to the father's disappearance, the family is displaced and left on the street.

Agneepath: The mother, with two kids, is on the street trying to survive, and the bad guys pick on her.

Deewaar: The mother, with two kids, works hard labor, gets picked on, and loses her job.

Agneepath: Young AB throws a stone at the bad guy and hurts him, getting lectured afterward.

Deewaar: Young AB throws a stone at the bad manager, hurting him, and gets lectured afterward.

Agneepath: As a young kid, AB faces hardships and becomes a tough guy.

Deewaar: As a young kid, AB faces hardships and becomes a tough guy.

Agneepath: AB grows up to be a tough guy who wants to give his mother her village back.

Deewaar: AB grows up to be a tough guy who wants to buy the building where his mother worked as a laborer.

Agneepath: AB gets close to a nurse and relies on her for support away from his family, eventually getting her pregnant.

Deewaar: AB meets a girl in a bar, gets close to her, and relies on her for emotional support away from his family, eventually getting her pregnant.

Agneepath: AB becomes a big-time don feared by people and is on the police's radar.

Deewaar: AB becomes a big-time don feared by people, also on the police's radar, and that's how his brother finds out.

Agneepath: AB picks up the villain and throws him into the fire.

Deewaar: AB picks up the villain and throws him out the window from a building.

Agneepath: AB is shot at the end and dies in his mother's lap wearing a white sari.

Deewaar: AB is shot at the end and dies in his mother's lap wearing a whitel sari.

So, is this common knowledge? Thoughts?

Also what's his best performance as an actor

Which is the best danced Bollywood song? Some of my favorites: Main Aisa Kyun Hoon? - Hrithik Roshan, Chamma Chamma (Chinagate) - Urmila Matondkar

You know the antagonist in a movie did a great job if you feel hate for him from the core of your heart. The best character in Kill was Fani. For the things he did, Amrit should have absolutely torn him apart to pieces and beaten him to a pulp but instead just puches him 7-8 times. Amongst all the gore and brutality in the whole movie, Fani’s death was the least gruesome I felt.

I just feel his death scene should have shown a way more ghastly and horrible death. As an audience, all my pent up hatred and resentment towards him didn’t vanish after just 7-8 punches. He deserved a better (or worse in this case) death is all I have to say.

Anyone else felt the same?

MNIK is my all time favourites. Today I decided to re-watch it after so many years....have been searching all the ott apps but it is nowhere to be found. What's the reason for this?

So I’m basically from UP (Lucknow) and I LOVE MOVIES! especially the ones in which the actors have the UP kinda accent. For example: bareliy ki barfi and Badrinath ki dulhania. If you have any recommendations similar to these then pls suggest

If we see box office, jawan, the 2nd highest grosser earned approx half of what dangal grossed and that is unadjusted for inflation!

I see a lot of posts on people complaining about remakes. Most recently the news about House being remade with Nawazuddin had a hate post. I just don’t get why anyone would hate remakes? How does a remake ruin original? Are remakes forced to edit the original? Are everyone forced to watch the remake if you like the original. If you don’t like remakes, just don’t watch it. Ignore that it exists. It literally makes no difference to how much you would like the original. Why the hate? I just think people hate on it to look cool that they have watched the original. Thoughts?

Me personally, it has to be Farhan. The movie starts with him, the story is told from his perspective, he has his own character development etc.

I would say Rancho is more of a deuteragonist, since he's an important character for the protagonist and plays a big role in shaping his life.

1)Rangeela

2)Satya

3)Kaun

4)company

5)Bhoot

6. Sarkar(series)

7. Rakht charitra 1 and 2

8)Attacks of 26/11

no nudity can have kiss scene but not much no profanity but can be considered if are in limit and not that bad Hindi ones

Since it's release Kill has been haild as The masterpiece in the actions genre. And last night I watched it and I found it worth the hype. But it really surprise me that people only talked about Gori violence,nexcellent action choreography and Raghav's performance. But there were several aspects which totally got ignored. As:

1- The depiction of 'Cult like generational decoits' is totally new for the new age audience. This type of cult whose family profession used to be murdering and looting people used to be existed in India. The film got it very well. Sometimes it felt like villain and the protagonist are from different timeline (18th century and 2000s respectively)

2- Film has no drama and no unnecessary fast to slow motion action choreography.

3- the film has superb shock value as some deaths in the movie were really shocking.

4- Apart from main characters all the supporting characters did fantastic job and made the movie more enjoyable.

If you love action movies I recommend the movie Kill to everyone
