A remake of the 1973 blockbuster of the same name, 'Zanjeer' is fairly engaging action-drama, that boasts good performances & some thrilling moments in the goings-on. 'Zanjeer' Synopsis: ACP Vijay Khanna is transferred to Mumbai where he will have do deal with the oil mafia led by Rudra Pratap Teja.'Zanjeer' begins tepidly but gathers moments 30-minutes into the film. The action-sequences are credible & the execution of the sequences is top-notch. The dramatic moments work more-so in the second-hour, when the begins Hero to break down the Villain. However, the romantic track is a yawn. It's these portions that bring the pace down & even effects the overall impact. The Screenplay is fair, but the romantic track could've been avoided easily. Apoorva Lakhia's Direction is stylish. Cinematography, Editing & Art Design are okay. Action-Sequences are credible. Performance-Wise: Ram Charan gives his best shot by essaying a character as iconic as ACP Vijay Khanna. He's decent. Priyanka Chopra is saddled with an ill written character. Sanjay Dutt is dynamic in a supporting role. Prakash Raj is remarkable as the villain. He's evil all through. Mahie Gill is hardly there. Atul Kulkarni is efficient, as always. Dayashankar Pandey is good. On the whole, 'Zanjeer' is a passable remake.

Zanjeer 1973 propelled Amitabh Bachchan's career also it brought into existence "angry young man". How on earth, Apoorva Lakhia decided to remake this iconic movie and played with its novel values. It is just a crisscross of all the elements required to make a movie and the results are gauche, tiresome and mediocre. 'Zanjeer' is about.C.P Vijay Khanna (Ram Charan) who is transferred from Hyderabad to Mumbai (Note: He has been transferred 17 times in merely 5 years). He teams up with the murder witness Mala (Priyanka Chopra) and investigates the murder. All these investigations connect the dots to the oil mafia Mogul (Prakash Raj). Vijay tries to expose Teja, but in process he gets suspended.Although story is the exact mock-up of Zanjeer (1973) but it is no match. It insults the cult scene between Amitabh & Pran in the police station; the fight between them is obnoxious, Priyaka-Ram Charan romance track is flat, Prakash Raj-Mahi Gill look unbearable and vulgar.Ram Charan reprising Bachchan's role as Vijay Khanna, who tries really hard to get the Angry Young Man avatar but fails absurdly. He couldn't flex his facial expressions according to the role however; he sustains the only one facial expression throughout. Sanjau Dutt looks ridiculous & indifferent as Sher Khan; it is definitely no match to iconic Pran. He does not share any chemistry with Ram Charan as both look distant. Priyanka's character, NRI Mala, is intended to add some comic reliefs which are banal. She performs "Pinki Item Song" in her facebook friend's wedding and witnesses a murder and start living with Ram Charan. It does not give any reason behind the love story also any emotional grounds.Prakash Raj is doing the same thing over and over again which is intolerable now and he also dresses like a ring master of any circus. Mahi Gill only does "MEOW", what a waste of such talented actress.Unfortunately, I do not have an Idea what was Atul Kulkarni doing? I don't remember any song of the movie but inappropriately used "Rghupati Raghav Raja Ram" track during fight sequence, which was atrocious.It is high time, such nonsense should be stopped. 2.8/10

Just when you thought that there is some good left in the world, the movie Zanjeer punches you hard and brings you face to face with the disastrous disaster of Hindi Cinema. Pushed by circumstances ,in my case an exam of General Pharmacology, one usually goes to a place faraway and happy, also dark, and so did I. My friends and I, we ended up in a theatre. Wasn't zero cars in the parking, or no people in the vicinity or the lifelessness of the Theatre enough to scare us off? Obviously Not.One ticket worth 130 Rupees, and we barged into a hall full of nothing but an ogre-face sprawled all over the large screen. That was the defining moment when we knew that the coming 3 hours of our lives were in vague danger, but being a Desi breed we didn't turn back. 130 Rupees ka sawal tha.The initial shock of an atrociously hideous protagonist or an awfully dumb Priyanka Chopra was nothing. There was so much more they had in store for the scanty audience.A hag-faced Sanjay Dutt who insisted on wearing nothing but colours that could sore your eyes for a century, a nauseating woman named Mona, a dark and gross villain with massive one-liner-failures, a dizzy sound- track, a horrific and passé story-line, a dance step that looked pretty much like an epileptic seizure, a 150-minutes-of-my-life-never-coming- back later here I am thanking the almighty that I am alive. Barely.Only one bearable ending could've come out of this traumatic movie, if that mutant-lips-cop shot himself in the end, and the screen splattered with his pathetic blood. Or not. No way on Earth can this be a better movie, because this is it, the worst movie I have watched in my lifetime. I am scarred for life. Rating this movie in stars? I wouldn't rate this in bullshits.

There is nothing in the movie that is worth watching.The story is completely changed when compared to the old zanjeer. The story could have been better or the movie time could have been reduced to make the movie interesting. At some time you feel quite bored.The story could have been better, it is just a masala flick. The movie becomes interesting and then all of a sudden movie slows down. Prakash Raj and Mahie Gill's acting is good and the dialogues of Prakash Raj are good.The acting of Bollywood debutant Ram Charan failed to live up to the expectations.So it is nothing good worth watching and the whole film is just average.Watch the movie only when you have nothing to do.
