When I heard that Apoorva Lakhia one of the bad filmmakers of Bollywood is remaking Zanjeer I was taken aback First of all there is nothing left to remake in that film, The plot has been done to death over the years, In fact Kurukshetra which released in 2000 too had a similar plot, Strangely in that film Mukesh Rishi played Pran's role while Sanju who plays Pran's role in this film played the lead. Let me come to the basics: Zanjeer was not a classic but was different when released though it's flashback plot was similar to Yaadon Ki Baraat released that year, yet the film was pathbreaking because the hero had no songs, he fought for justice.etc but today things have changed. Apoorva Lakhia has done lot changes though keeping some scenes, dialogues and also the narrative at times same, In that film Jaya's role was simple here it's played by Priyanka Chopra who comes from foreign to dance at a facebook friend's wedding....Yes right! Here the villain runs an Oil Mafia In that film, Pran's fight scene with Big B came earlier while here it's shown later but lacks the impact. The film starts well but stagnates soon, The scenes are hardly impactful, the Zanjeer reprised dialogue from the original looks pitifully duplicated. Some scenes are well handled like Vijay's clash with Prakash Raj but lack the same impact of the original. In fact the director seems relying on the original's stature to carry forward this film but sadly it falters even as a standalone film. In the original, we had Om Prakash tiping Big B, here his role is replaced by Atul Kulkarni A Journalist.The Mona scenes with Teja try too hard to be funny but end up being crude with sexual overtones Direction by Apoorva Lakhia is nothing great Music is forgettable, The last song in credits is perhaps for audience to remember how great was the original. Ram Charan tries very hard, he has a good presence, but gives a very ordinary performance, he is mostly seen frowning and hardly impactful Priyanka Chopra overdoes the role, Sanjay Dutt has a brief role and does his part well, though not as impactful as Pran, In the last scene his voice is dubbed perhaps it was added later-on and he didn't dub for it Amongst rest Aditya Lakhia, Dayashankar Pandey are okay, Prakash Raj is getting repetitive and does his role in the same style of his earlier films and lacks the impact required to carry off the role. Mahi Gill overdoes her role, Atul Kulkarni is wasted

This movie , i saw as first day first show.. but i felt nothing great here. Ram Charan is my favorite hero but sometimes story like this very judge able... can make u upset... acting of hero is good,also Sanjay dutt too...Priyanka chopra acted very nicely.. All actors done their job well.... That is a good point of the movie. I love to see Mr.Prakash has Villon .No big curiosity in the movie...totally action type one....Priyanka chopra's dance was good. All actors done their job perfectly good.... That is a good part of the movie. I like to see Mr.Prakash rai has Villon .The movie has good moral to say to the public. Fighting's are good.

A remake of the 1973 blockbuster of the same name, 'Zanjeer' is fairly engaging action-drama, that boasts good performances & some thrilling moments in the goings-on. 'Zanjeer' Synopsis: ACP Vijay Khanna is transferred to Mumbai where he will have do deal with the oil mafia led by Rudra Pratap Teja. 'Zanjeer' begins tepidly but gathers moments 30-minutes into the film. The action-sequences are credible & the execution of the sequences is top-notch. The dramatic moments work more-so in the second-hour, when the begins Hero to break down the Villain. However, the romantic track is a yawn. It's these portions that bring the pace down & even effects the overall impact. The Screenplay is fair, but the romantic track could've been avoided easily. Apoorva Lakhia's Direction is stylish. Cinematography, Editing & Art Design are okay. Action-Sequences are credible. Performance-Wise: Ram Charan gives his best shot by essaying a character as iconic as ACP Vijay Khanna. He's decent. Priyanka Chopra is saddled with an ill written character. Sanjay Dutt is dynamic in a supporting role. Prakash Raj is remarkable as the villain. He's evil all through. Mahie Gill is hardly there. Atul Kulkarni is efficient, as always. Dayashankar Pandey is good. On the whole, 'Zanjeer' is a passable remake.

Everything is perfect..but people don't get inspired seeing the reality.The narration is perfect ram charan suited very well for the character. Don't see the rating of the movie & decide to watch it.. because everybody's brain don't think in d same & may not like the same. its a very good story. RamCharan Teja makes an impressive Bollywood debut. We can safely say he is the man among the boys. Nice film. Ramcharan performance excellent. speedy film. has to be watched for sure.people never give good rating to the reality...Congrats to the hero charan for the Bollywood entry with a very good story of reality. keep going cherry .A version of 'Raghupati raghav...' plays in the background its really very good.The film has a happy Bollywood ending with the triumph of good over evil.

You cannot help but see this movie with the real Zanjeer playing in your mind. That's because a lot of dialogues are the same or near-about's, and boy what a disappointment, or should I say, disgrace to the real movie. The hero looks very rigid and tries hard to look angry, but he could very well be a side-kicks of hero's from the previous generation of bollywood hero's. Those guys had style, presence, commitment. Then comes the horrible dances and forgettable songs that almost every bollywood movie seems to thrive on. They all seem to copy each other, hence they look all the same. Who can even come near to a Bindu, or a Kalyanji-Anandji bongo music, or do a Pran? Still you would want to give the new movie a chance and see how it fares, but alas, I had to leave it after 30 mins otherwise I would have ended up having a headache.

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 clichéd 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.

After seeing this movie I don't get it why such good actors and veterans such as Sanjay Dutt would do this movie seriously whatever the reason maybe it was a waste of their time. The newbie actor should have been given a much better intro than this movie. The writer whatever he wrote wasn't bad enough that the director took the remains of the lameness and sealed up the movie. The direction was very amateur remaking of a classic movie I think that the original makers of the movie must have just fainted. I need to ask the director myself that in the movie where Ram Charan first encounters with Sanjay Dutt without no reason Ram goes to Sanjay's place and starts fighting like did he have some sort of a preminition or what???? I mean what was that??? that's not direction that a huge flaw. There are many scenes that don't just add up and the whole movie was just a very waste of time. Two item songs were provided which obviously were thought that they will keep the ball rolling but they failed pathetically as for even an item song to go along the story and direction need to support the whole movie. The rest best of luck to the new actor Ram as you really need to make sure and pick your scripts by really getting into character I know I don't need to teach your acting but this is just a tip but for the director you need to still go through some more direction courses.

Zanjeer 1973 propelled Amitabh Bachchan's career also it brought into existence "angry young man". How on earth, Apoorva Lakhia decided to remake this iconic movie and played with its novel values. It is just a crisscross of all the elements required to make a movie and the results are gauche, tiresome and mediocre. 'Zanjeer' is about.C.P Vijay Khanna (Ram Charan) who is transferred from Hyderabad to Mumbai (Note: He has been transferred 17 times in merely 5 years). He teams up with the murder witness Mala (Priyanka Chopra) and investigates the murder. All these investigations connect the dots to the oil mafia Mogul (Prakash Raj). Vijay tries to expose Teja, but in process he gets suspended. Although story is the exact mock-up of Zanjeer (1973) but it is no match. It insults the cult scene between Amitabh & Pran in the police station; the fight between them is obnoxious, Priyaka-Ram Charan romance track is flat, Prakash Raj-Mahi Gill look unbearable and vulgar. Ram Charan reprising Bachchan's role as Vijay Khanna, who tries really hard to get the Angry Young Man avatar but fails absurdly. He couldn't flex his facial expressions according to the role however; he sustains the only one facial expression throughout. Sanjau Dutt looks ridiculous & indifferent as Sher Khan; it is definitely no match to iconic Pran. He does not share any chemistry with Ram Charan as both look distant. Priyanka's character, NRI Mala, is intended to add some comic reliefs which are banal. She performs "Pinki Item Song" in her facebook friend's wedding and witnesses a murder and start living with Ram Charan. It does not give any reason behind the love story also any emotional grounds. Prakash Raj is doing the same thing over and over again which is intolerable now and he also dresses like a ring master of any circus. Mahi Gill only does "MEOW", what a waste of such talented actress. Unfortunately, I do not have an Idea what was Atul Kulkarni doing? I don't remember any song of the movie but inappropriately used "Rghupati Raghav Raja Ram" track during fight sequence, which was atrocious. It is high time, such nonsense should be stopped. 2.8/10

After super success of Agnipath remake and failure of Himmatwala it is the turn of Zanjeer to continue this remake culture.To execute the original same plot in modern style is not at all easy.Himmatwala had entered its name in worst remake record books and Zanjeer too makes an attempt to reach at par with Himmatwala but fails due to some entertainment quotient.Only few entertaining scenes manage to save it from sheer embarrassment. To talk of the performances Ram charan has strong hold on the screen but you won't say wow after watching him till the end..Prakash raj is good but monotonous as always..Priyanka and Sanjay dutt are just fine..Apoorva lakhia's direction and screenplay is commendable but weak script, and bad execution overshadow it. All in all a poor remake with performances far below expectations.Its better to wait and watch Zanjeer on TV than wasting your precious money in multiplexes. I rate it 4 out of 10
