I am writing a review on this old movies,because this is one of my fav movies from the 80's. Only person has wrote a review on it so far. Joshilay's story can be compared to sholay, but there's no gabbar singh as the villain.
The movie stars - anil kapoor, sunny deol, sridevi, meenakshi sheshdaari, kabshuan kharbanda and satish kaushik.
joshilay had the oportunities to succeedd at the box office, the movie had good starcast a epic story and a great production team. The film fell victim to shekar kapoor leaving the film halfway. where a another director named rizvi took over t he film it quite effected the way the film came out A unexperienced director directing for the first time what makes the film a flop.
The film revolves around two men karan (anil kapoor) and daara (sunny deol) both were wrong by yogi thakur and his partner in crime raja singh ( kalbhushan kharbanda) daara was separated from his family and was left in a circus where he was brought up. karan's family was murdered in front of him. After yogi thakur and raja singh rob a village they are nabbed by the police. In the chase raja singh betrays yogi thakur and hands him over to the police and runs away with the money himself.
twenty years later raja singh has become raja saab a dreaded ruler of many villages. Daara and karan are both grown up and want revenge from both yogi thakur and raja singh. Where daara is the fun and witty type karan is the silent and angry type. Yogi thakur is realeased from jail after twenty years wants revenge from raja singh. The twist incurs where dara singh wants yogi thakur aline to find out who his parents were and karan wants yogi thakur dead.
The first half of the film moves along a superb phase. Inthe second half it goes a little wrong. The directors were trying to recreate the magic of sholay.
The music was okay. by r.d burman. It was the performances that makes the movie worth a watch by both actors. Sunny deol and anil both came two other movies ram avtar and inteqam both which flopped at the box office. Sunny gives a great performance which reminds you of his dad dharmendra from sholay. The facial impression and persona of the character he plays is almost indentical though sunny deol does lend his own charm to the movie. He is great in the comedy scenes. Anil kapoor on the other side has an agry character which he plays perfectly. It reminds you of munna from teezab. Anil is perfect foil for sunny deol's character and they compliment each other perfectly.
Yogi thakur is the worst actor I have seen on any cinema, he keeps screaming in the movie. hei s just annoying. Kalbhushan kharbanda does fairly well in his role. Meenaski and sridevi are okay in the role given. satish kaushik is great in the comedy scenes.
This movie is a must see for the performances.
