Review of Wazir (2016) by Nilanjan B — 15 Jan 2016
What a disaster. How do you make use of Amitabh Bachchan? Suffering from Alzeheimer's - check (Black), Older guy married to a younger gal - check (Cheeni Kum)..... cripple - not done yet. Of course Amitabh acts well, despite the cliched plot and subplots. The 'strange twist of fate' is Hindi movie arbitrary. Fine this is a Hindi movie. Why do this to actors like Amitabh and Farhan Akhtar? The only reason to show Amitabh crippled is to be able to wow the audience into guessing how he is shown with his legs cut off.
This movie is seriously corny and full of cliches. Half way through the film, Amitabh asks Farhan's wife to take him to dinner. He then makes cliched lines such as , 'Khana to aap baahut laziz banathi hai'.
I should have walked out at the interval. I think I was trying to fool myself into thinking the movie would get better. It never did.
