My dad made me see this when i was a kid. Even as a kid i hated those bollywood films with unnecessary songs.
It is an intense n awesome film with solid performance by Bachan. Those who love Hindi cinema for its extravagant song and dance routines, its mix of romance, comedy, action and melodrama, and its over-the-top stuff may be surprised to learn that this 1975 movie is devoid of such characteristic elements. Yet Deewaar is an awesome bollywood film.
Mr. Bachchan was terrific.
