After the debacle of Mrityudaata, Mehul Kumar
teams up again with Amitabh Bachchan in Kohraam but this
time Nana Patekar is also there. With two great actors in one
film, one cannot be stopped from expecting some fire on the
screen. But the poor script is a let-down. However we can
say that the two great actors have given their best and
compliment each other. Colonel Balbir Singh Sodi (Amitabh Bachchan) comes to know that for the death of Army officer (Jackie Shroff), minister VeerbhadraSingh (Danny Denzongpa) is involved and that everyone are believing that it is the act of a terrorist group headed by Changezi (Mukesh Rishi). Colonel Sodi stages his own death, and starts living as Dadabhai Hathode in Mumbai. Army officer (Kabir Bedi) sends Major Ajit Arya (Nana Patekar) to find the truth of Dadabhai Hathode and Sodhi. Ajit Arya goes in the disguise of a Bengali journalist with a pony tail to find the truth. Then in the end the truth is disclosed and the minister is exposed and thus ends the terrorist group. There is action in the beginning and in the end. In between there are light moments in the film between Amitabh with a Bihari accent and Nana in Bengali accent. The lighter moments are the best parts. In the film there are many characters like Tabu (who is a police officer in love with Ajit Arya), Jaya Prada in the role of Amitabh's wife. Yes there are also Mukul Dev and Ayesha Jhulka in the most insignificant roles. Amitabh is too good in his role. He has once again shown that he is the best actor. He lives up the role of Bihari Babu and inspite of repetition of such types of scenes, one manages to appreciate him. Nana Patekar has been given a different role from his usual angry and stubborn man. However his get-up is something weird with a pony tail and Bengali dhoti. Mehul Kumar's direction is better than Mrityudaata. But the script is poor. Whatever one says, it is a watchable film for two great performances. |
