Watched this movie especially as an Amitabh Bacchan (AB) fan, but was not disappointed as it had a good story and actors like Sanjeev Kumar, Sharmila Tagore, with one popular song. On seeing this picture, it reminds one about lot of other Hindi films like Itefaq and Prem Kahani, although with a twist in the story of each of them. The success of this movie would have been subdued by lot of other super hit films released in 1975 like Sholay, Deewar which had AB himself acting in them. If this picture had another hit song, then it would have been more successful. Worth seeing for once if one has time and has a passion to see Bollywood movies.

Well Faraar without doubt is a well made film with commendable performances between amitabh and Sanjev Kumar with able support from Sharmila tagore.This is the first film of Sanjeev Kumar and amitabh Bachchan together and both are in their form.It is also the only time Amitabh and Sharmila looked romantic together on screen.Their chemistry in the timeless song-Main Pyaasa Tum saawan is simply amazing.Although the film was good yet probably due to other big films of Amitabh in 1975-Sholay,deewar,Chupke chupke,Mili and Zameer-farar somehow did only average business and it was only later that it gained popularity thanks to screening on Doordarshan.The plot was well made and although on the lines on Ittefaq and 36 Ghante still stands out although the production values are not that great.Also a very interesting thing is that both Amitabh and rajesh Khanna had 2 films in 1975-Faraar and Prem Kahani where the plot was similar.While Faraar was an interesting casting Amitabh-Sanjeev-Sharmila yet Raj Khoslas Prem Khanai with Rajesh Khanna-Shashi Kapoor-Mumtaz-Vinod Khanna was the BIGGER film.yet to each his/her own-both films are good and well made. However there is a very interesting fact about Faraar-whether aby dies in the end or not.The end which we see is Big B dying in it(which is the end which keeps coming) .However I have a very very distinct memory of Big b surviving and being shown in the hospital(extremely rare one) and master raju is talking to him.However,I have tried watching it many times over but never watched the surviving Amitabh end again.I asked this with many fans of Amitabh so many times but no-none remembers.In fact i had dismissed it as some of my dream sequence probably.Finally getting confirmation from 1-2 people that the other end was in fact a very very very rare version and got to see the end where he survives on youtube.So it is the first of a kind where there are 2 ends!!!

Amitabh Bachchan as the vengeful brother is on the run after killing the villain, but as the fate would have it, he hides in Sharmila Tagore's house holding her young son ( Ever so lovable Master Raju!) to ransom, her husband ( Sanjeev Kumar) himself the Police Inspector in charge of catching him...Good screenplay, excellent acting by all lead actors, haunting song by Kishore: "Main pyaasa tum saawan " that keeps repeating ... Go watch it..Worth 'two' dekho!!The Direction by Shankar Mukherjee who directed earlier thrillers " Mahal" is in his elements, so is the Music Director and the rest of them...

This is definitely not one of Amitabh's best movies though worth seeing. The story revolves around Amitabh who kills the rapist of his sister, is arrested and sentenced to the death penalty. He escapes from jail and hides in the house of Sanjeev Kumar, his wife and their son. Now Sanjeev Kumar's wife is Sharmila Tagore who was Amitabh's girlfriend before she married Sanjeev. By the way, Sanjeev is a police inspector who is supposed to arrest the big B. This movie has two endings. One, Amitabh gets shot in the end and is rushed to the hospital and survives and goes to jail. Second, Amitabh is shot in the end and dies. Popular song " Main Pyaasa Tum Saawan".
