This is good experience to see this type of movie,also the the macho trio-Dharamendra,Sunny and bobby together, its a good story but this type of movie is not successful in this generation.Its fit on past 60 or 70 decades. Its a nice movie on father-son, Mother-son , Husband-wife relation.if you ask me which couple is best in this movie,although there have 3 couples- Dharmendra-Kiron Kher (a very talented actress!!),Sunny Deol-Shilpa Shetty (hot beauty with extreme height),Bobby Deol-Katrina Kaif(pretty good but have language problem), I choose the Dharmendra-Kiron Kher Couple ,Old is Gold,what a chemistry between both of them,a natural acting overall..The action is good but inspired from Stallon's blockbuster 'Rocky'..nevermind..if length of the movie edited then it would be more good. Music is OK.. not more efforts by Himesh reshmia,background score is OK but sometimes its loud. In other star cast Victor banerjee,Divya Datta,Aryan Vaid,Javed Shaikh are workable.. But the excellent performance from-Jonnie Brown as luca the killing machine. Anil Sharma always make movies with Dharmendra and Sunny Deol but to see together is a nice experience. The National Champinonship is look childish..where the Final Heavyweight Championship is look like WWF. The Action hero-Sunny look old age..obviously but perform a good fight scene. Shilpa looks good and act good also..Katrina have less scope , also she have to improve her language problem and acting,same thing about bobby role ,he have comparatively less scope than Dharam and Sunny.The Main pillar of this movie is Dharam Paaji..what a stamina and performance at the stage of this age..excellent..new generation have to get inspiration from this OLD IS GOLD HE MAN!!! Anil Sharma knows very well that Indian people like Family dram with action and romance ka tadka... serve a dish,but not all dishes are good serve..Apne is like them.The story is good,star cast is good but screenplay and scripting are lower the marks.Nevermind,If you want to see a family movie with tears and punches then definitely go for movie with whole family.

It has never been a secret that Dharmendra made the careers of his sons. They turned out to be fantastic actors. I liked the movies of Dharmendra, I was surprised he got back in front of the camera. And also with both of his sons.Now the idea was great. Dharmendra used to be a boxer in America. But he got kicked out because they thought he used doping. Dharmendra wanted his son Sunny to be a boxer too, but sunny refused. Sunny did not see a rich career in boxing. His other son Bobby could not box, because he had a disabled left hand.But then Bobby sudden can use his hand and want his father's dream to come true. But still Dharmendra is angry about Sunny.This movie has not a great story. Camera and acting was not that great too. Sunny Deol's Hairdress was ridiculous! Bobby Deol could not act as a handicapped person. It was not convincing. Only to hide your hand does not make you disable.This is an emotional movie. It could have been a good tear jerker, but it isn't. And that is the moment where this movie goes wrong. Dharmendra cannot act well. His face cannot show emotions. Besides that, the camera work does not work for me. It's like they were not shooting a movie, but a commercial.What was Shilpa Shetty doing in this movie? Was she the daughter of Dharmendra, or was she the daughter in law? In the beginning this was not clear.The most annoying mistakes filmmakers can make, when they put American/English actors or actresses in their movie, is that the movie does not work. This because the English accents are weird. The accents are not like they supposed to be. It's more exaggerated. In Sohail Khan's movies this happens all the time. I like Sohail's Movies, but the English accents aren't real.Now this movie has pinned itself that a boxing match has to be 12 rounds. Why? A knockout can be done in 3 rounds. So you see the fighters fight, and you see the signs of the rounds. It was all unnecessary. This movie cannot be compared to Rocky, Cinderella man or Million Dollar baby. This movie did not work for me.

Too bad that I was just thinking for the past 1 month that this movie will be nothing but an ego show of the deols. I watched it yesterday and after the movie finished, I just thought- "We Indians rate the movie on the basis of what we see in promos.".. OK, just consider Tara rum pum, It began to bore me within fifteen minutes. The racing sequence was so pathetic.. I was wondering where this kinda race happens on this planet. The kids were equally worse.Coming back to 'Apne', this will surely go down among the underrated films of 2007. I last saw a great sports sequence in a Hindi movie in 'Jo Jeeta Wahi Sikander'. And then, I saw it here. Boxing scenes were well directed, if not excellent. Acting of the three deols were equally good.I don't usually favor emotional and long films. This film had both. it was long and highly emotional. But I didn't feel anytime that it was getting on me. May be thats what you call brilliant film making.

First thing first which strike at the beginning of the film is that Dharmendra at the age of 73 looks amazing. Story is equally strong as the star cast.Perfact way to bring 3 deols together. A impulsive and ambitious boxer want to fulfill his dream to become first world heavy weight boxing champion form India.When he cant(due to false doping charges) he tries to achieve it by his elder son who finally refuse to box as the game has no importance in the country and one can't feed their family with it. For the sake of family he disappoint his father.The younger son is handicap so he want to box but he can't.There are very nice twist and turns in the film. Relationship between Sunny and Dharmendra is excellent. The great point of the film is that here, sons try their best to achieve their father's dream.Reason of Sunny to fight at the climax is also convincing and touchy,Film is little lengthy and has some unnecessary melodrama and unwanted stage song of Bobby. But it also has some emotional and touchy scenes of Dharmendra with Kiron Kher and Sunny .One can say this time son has relaunch their father in a big way. Its definitely better than "rocky Balboa " as it has great emotional value and better reason to fight. Must see .
