Dhund (1973)
Super Night Thriller in the 70's
One of the best suspense thriller movie in the 70's.As someone rightly put it grippingly successful attempt at suspense, a genre rarely attempted by Hindi cinema. The movie was made in 1972 and we have gone through 30 odd years and yet no one has come out to make something like Dhund in Bollywood. Amazing, 30 years Bollywood and still no intelligent suspense thrillers. The ending could have done with a little better fine-tuning and --SPOILERS-- except for the fact how easily the murderer walks inside the house via the "open at night main-door" {most people I know, sleep at night with their doors locked :-) the movie was watertight and gripping. Equally good performances by Zeenat and Sanjay Khan.
Wanted: Dead or Alive (1984)
wanted Mithun Gangster Kishore Kumar western style
vikram (Mithun chakraborty )is a Forest Officer.He is Married To Angela (Dipti Naval). Kaher Singh(Om Shiv Puri) A Bandit Kills Angela While Running From Cops. Vikram Comes To Know He Retaliates. Kaher Singh Dies. Vikram is Framed For Heist. He Spends Three Years Imprison. The film is made in the style of a spaghetti western.to be very honest the performance of Mithun chakraborty is absolutely brilliant.super song sung by Kisore Kumar For great Mithun chakraborty:)one of my favorite movie of Mithun in the 80's.
Per qualche dollaro in più (1965)
Gangster El Indio what a villain (*_*)
Leone's true masterpieces, and quite possibly Leone's most "watchable" film. A Fistful of Dollars is a great film: revolutionary, gritty, violent, and fun, and it certainly was the true beginning of a monumental change in westerns. However, this is the first film where Leone's brilliance fully comes to the front. On the other hand, while not quite as famous (in the English-speaking world) as the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly (GBU) and perhaps not quite as great a cinematic achievement as GBU or Once Upon a Time in the West (OUTIW), this film is nevertheless not far behind those clear masterpieces. The characteristic Leone visual style and incredible artistry are very powerful here. Although some of this is evident in small amounts in the previous film, here we really get to see the incredible, revolutionary close-ups and the contrast between close- ups and long shots. These and other images are powerful and beautiful. The film also brings the deliberate pacing and wonderful, almost unbearable, build-up of tension before quick action. Leone's sense of irony and brilliant weaving together of various motifs and symbols (particularly religious) also comes to the forefront in this film, as does the humour. Just seeing the quality of the images, the photography, and the cool faces (I can't imagine a western hunter with other type of face), makes this movie excellent. The plot is not very complicated and you can argue some decisions made by the villain, but even with that, I think is very intelligent and probably by that you can't guess what is next. Eastwood, Cliff and 'El Indio' are good in their roles and the direction of Leone is superb. No doubt, Leone can be considered the best western director of all time, not by one movie but for his complete work. This would be the only film from the Dollars Trilogy (between A Fistful of Dollars and The Good, The Bad.& the Ugly) that isn't an Empire 5-star rated film. So, in order to complete the trilogy, I decided to watch this one anyway to satisfy my need for completion to see why it wasn't awarded the prestigious five stars. Compared with A Fistful Of Dollars, For A Few Dollars More is a far more developed film, albeit a completely different story. The stories lead into each other though (although you don't need to watch the first to understand the second), as The Man With No Name continues his bounty work which we are introduced to in the predecessor. As "Fistful" did, "Few Dollars More" has plenty of throwaway moments and parts that are shallow and uninteresting, but the style is one all of its own and Leone deserves continued celebration for the way his movies rewrote the essentials of the Western formula. Eastwood and Lee Van Cleef are bounty hunters on the trail of El Indio (Gian Maria Volontè). Eastwood is out for the money, but Van Cleef has other motives. Bullets fly, bodies are stacked like cord wood, and the action never stops all to incredible music by Ennio Morricone. The movie far outshines most of American westerns.Lee Van Cleef is great as veteran bounty killer and the same goes to Clint Eastwood. Gian Volante puts up a good performance as the evil Indio. The plot is a little slow but look at "High Noon" or any of the other old westerns.An all time great western!! performance of "El Indio" in this movie is real high class no doubt.
Il buono, il brutto, il cattivo (1966)
"Gangster Tuco"one of the Greatest movie in the 60's Era (*_*)
This is my favorite film of all time. This is a great journey - way more than just a western or an action film. It captures the whole essence of the Civil War era Wild West. There is enough plot to make 3 or 4 films. I consider the graveyard standoff to be the best scene ever in a film. What a classic movie at that Era..
One of the best movies that I've ever seen. Before seeing the movie I was septic whether it would turn out to be one of the typical Western movies of the 60's. The type on which the bad guys get the heroine and the hero goes and does some cool bit of shooting to save the day for his love, and the movie. But this was totally different from the other movies. This Western has everything, and that's why in some quarters it is regarded as the best one ever made. Arguably it took Eastwood until 'Unforgiven' to make a film that even comes close to this one. The music score is fantastic, one that people from all generations enjoy and remember. This film is sheer entertainment people, and with Clint, Van Cleef and Wallach, you have three actors that carry a hugely enjoyable piece to watch. With a superb story line, this western is one of the greatest movies ever made. Seen this 100 times and don't get bored. Brilliantly directed by half-god Sergio Leone, excellent starring by all the three man.
1-Tuco 2-Blondie 3-Angel Eye Gold.money,old pistols,old well,wonderful film location.the beauty of that Era just amazing :) thanks to IMDb for share the detail of this great film "the Good the Bad & thee ugly 1966.
Yaadon Ki Baaraat (1973)
King of villain Ajit in "yaadon Ki Baraat" super Hit Movie of the 70's
This is Ajit at his thespian peak - the handsome hero of the 50's, the wicked thief of the 60's, the massage-acquiring smuggler of the 70's, the lost memory of the 80's, the caricature of the perverse 90's - save for his stunning turn as the geriatric rapist beholden to Man-Friday Joginder - in Dev Anand's 90's shocker "Gangster" - but that is another review.
All this is hunky dory but where does this leave Shahkaal? The people want the truth - how does the Shahkaal of this film fit in with the one in Shaan? At long last, the truth can now be told...
So who really was Shahkaal - 70's gold smuggler or 80's super villain bent on world domination, shoe size issue or nervous tics, woolen suit or white tights with epaulets, Octon style antiseptic island citadel or smoky smuggler's den, train track victim or island explosion victim - will the real Shahkaal please stand up? Maybe it is time to confess that the suave and scheming, bewigged Shahkaal and the bald and sniveling Shahkaal of Shaan are one and the same - fictionalized depictions of the exploits of the real Shahkaal.
As the lost sequel to Shaan - "Shahkaal vs Gabbar" explains - Shahkaal escaped the oncoming goods train with some judicious and last minute use of a handy shoe horn in YKB and lived to pursue world domination in Shaan. He merely dropped the blond wig and went in for the trendy bald look - very 80's. Shahkaal is now in retirement in Navi Mumbai with Mona and her sisters - just another harmless pensioner... or so he would like you to believe. There's more about him in his review of Shaan. Until next time, don't be silly. This is not a "dhamki", just a "waarning"
Direction is good Music by RD Burman is nice Aap Ki Kamre by Kishore, Asha, Rafi is nice there is an interlude of Dumb Maaro Dumb too featured on Zeenat), Lekar Hum Deewana Dil sung by Kishore,Asha pictured on Tariq and Neetu Singh is good too, Meri Soni and Chura Liya are good songs while the title song both versions are Fabulous.
Ajit one of the great stylish villain in the 70's. He was a real king of villain.what an actor Ajit specialty as a villain in 70's. Really a Mega star villain in Bollywood.Missing him..

When they come across the Diwan, they ask him to show them his valuables, which he agrees to do so. To his shock, he finds that he has been burgled.

Rocky's plan is to seduce cabaret dancer, Seema, who is the lover of the Jailer, and hence gain entry to the jail. When this fails, Rocky gets himself arrested and jailed in the same prison as Ajit. Upon his entry in the prison, is where the truth surfaces that the man they call Rocky is not Rocky at all but an impostor, who has agreed to be Rocky just to get the large fee.
