Namak Halaal is an action comedy film, directed by Prakash Mehra. The film stars Amitabh Bachchan, Late Shashi Kapoor, Late Smita Patil, Late Parveen Babi, Waheeda Rehman, Late Om Prakash, Ranjeet and Late Satyen Kappu.
Arjun, a youngster, works at a hotel owned by Raja and serves him faithfully. However, when he learns about a plot to kill Raja, he decides to save him from harm at any cost.
This film is a perfect example of a masala film. The film has action, emotion, comedy, great music and a pinch of romance and is blended beautifully which is superbly backed by great acting by all the star cast. The film also gives a feeling of lost and found plot although this film can't be termed as a typical lost and found film.
The acting is superb and everyone were outstanding in their respective roles with a special mention for Amitabh Bachchan who carried the entire film on his shoulders and is beautifully backed by the stellar star cast. Shashi Kapoor impresses in the role of rich hotel owner, Smita Patil looked very pretty and was great in acting too, Parvin Bobby also impresses in her limited screen space. Satyen Kappu who played negative role was stunningly good and deserves a little more screen space along with Om Prakash. Ranjeet and Waheeda Rehman were also good.
Screenplay of the film is funny and hilarious and will keep you glued to the screen. The film is so funny that it will not even give you a chance to blink your eyes. The climax of the film gives a perfect closure to the film.
Music of the film is mind blowing and every song was a craze upon it's release and are still craze with "Pag Ghungroo Baandh", "Aaj Rapat Jayen" and "Jawaani Jaan-E-Man" my personal favorite.
A must watch family wholesome masala entertainer which will surely be enjoyed with all the masses of the society.
