'Deewaar - let's bring our heroes home' - 'Bang On!'

But surprisingly, 'Marhaba Marhaba' with the specially flown in belly dancers does not have enough sizzle.

All said and done 'Deewaar' is Amitabh's film and he has done complete justice to it. Be it the fight or emotional scenes he proves that he is still the best. He is very sprightly and even shakes a leg with his usual ease and confidence.

Now for the negative bits about the film. How does Akshaye manage to get help effortlessly at almost every point? The last half hour of the film has a few unnecessary scenes that could have been easily trimmed off to make the climax crisp. KK (the main villain) relies more on facial expressions than dialogues and does a good job. But he could have been given a few lines.

Music of the film is not hot. However, the excellent stunts, fight scenes and cinematography more than make up for it. Credit is really due to Nirmal Jani (camera work) and Tinnu Verma (action director).

The commercial prospects of the film look good and it is definitely one of the better films of the recent crop of films!
