      Audience Member Absolutely important film, although editing is not great, but AMITABH BACHCHAN EXCELS in his performance as VIJAY Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/26/23 Full Review Audience Member Well, it was never dull. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member The enjoyment of this film is slightly detracted from in a couple of scenes, as the cropping of the edges of the film mean that facial expressions of the leading characters are missed. This does not detract from the fact that Zanjeer is pure, carefully crafted art and that this seminal film is essential viewing for anyone with an interest in Indian cinema. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/02/23 Full Review Audience Member 22/10/13 PC is just buff. Movie in terms of story line is nothing new and recently just watched to many with a similar story line. Sanjay dutt ofcourse was buff too. Movie was a bit slow at times too Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review Audience Member Zanjeer is not half as good as the original. Zanjeer is a masala potboiler that looks outdated,and only the action and acting save the film.Zanjeer is the cliched story of a cop fighting the bad guy and wins at the end. Nothing new,the film does have some good action scenes which are first rate.Zanjeer is a film actual that should have never been remade, its a old fashioned story and lacks depth for a 2013 film. New makers fail,they add no novelty.Zanjeer is saved by the great acting of Ram Charan Sanjay Dutt and Priyanka Chopra .But what can actors do when ever else is a -.Music sucks also.Dir Apoorva Lakhia fails in all accounts, is this same guy who made SAL ??? What was use of remaking Zanjeer when you offer nothing new. Overall Zanjeer 2013 is outdated, offers nothing new in the plot and also has 3rd class music. The only saving grace is the good action and acting. Only watch if one must, or to see BABA in action again. South SuperStar Ram Charan fans can also watch he is good, but he should have not done the film. Half a star extra for Sanju BABA LOL Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Audience Member Energy packed action thriller with the Angry Young Man Amitabh Bachchan. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
