Amitabh Bachchan is fantastic as babumoshai. He showed the world that the next superstar was coming

From start to end, the movie is unrelentingly tense, tight, somber and serious but the seriousness of the film works for two vital reasons: the absolutely amazing, scorching and explosive under-acting by Amitabh Bachchan; and the screenplay and dialogs by Salim-Javed

The performance of Amitabh Bachchan stands out amongst some of the greatest names of the 70s.

Can't find a single flaw in the movie. Probably one of the best ever made in Hindi. The camera work is flawless and grips you. The acting is inspired. The music is memorable. One of the movies you remember for life.

Amitabh's performance as a drunken person in the film had proven that he is the king of indian film industry. The way he walked and delivered his dialogues were perfect. He made us feel that he really was drunken.

Obviously, Amitabh Bachchan plays the lead in it...who else can?

I read a post saying "a bad adaptation of godfather" lets get this one clear that this is not Godfather.

Amitabh and Jaya share an envious chemistry in the flick and it does wonders to what the film tried depicting.

This movie is one of the earliest blockbusters of the 1970s that firmly launched Amitabh Bachchan in the superstar orbit.

Amitabh had a small role here he has a parallel role against the Super Star Rajesh Khanna and both have done their role well.

Amar Akbar Anthony is a wild, delirious roller coaster of a movie that rushes from pathos to comedy to action to thriller to pathos again and somehow manages to work perfectly.

Even though the music score is not up to the mark, one gets to watch Amitabh's sterling performance as the "angry young man" of Bollywood. The background score adds to the intensity of the film. Its well worth giving 10+.

After a long time I have enjoyed watching Amitabh Bachchan, and Hema Malini's performance was so subtle and yet she gave a powerful performance. There is one scene in particular, where she tells Amitabh to have his medicine (right before they get separated) and one moment she has her eyes shut and the next moment her eyes are filled with tears.

This movie is lots of fun. It has EVERYthing in it - car chases, dance numbers, action, crime, revenge - like many Bollywood films - there's something for everyone.

Amitabh excels in both roles as always, He brings a distinct characteristic to both the roles.

This plot is ridiculous, and really makes no sense. It's full of cliched situations, hackneyed lines, melodrama, comedy but only Amitabh could pull this one off.

Amitabh Bachchan: Great performance, His eyes and silence in the movie say a lot more than words.

The best man in the film was Amitabh B. but other performers were surely upto Bachchan's calibre. Ajay D. in a negative role was smashing.

Amitabh Bachchan as the bank manager excels in his role.

Silsila is the best Bollywood movie based on adultery and is much better than Karan Johar's KANK.

This movie is simply unmissable Bollywood. Watch it, and I guarantee you'll be hearing 'O Saathi Re' in your head for a few days afterwards.

Amitabh comes across as just another guy, dwarfed by the system yet refusing to give in to it. He carries on from where he left off with 'Khakee'

A Good Sequel

It is simple to be happy but so difficult to be simple...

A boy, abandoned at birth, sent to be raised by a drunken bum. He grows to be a man who cares for others, while trying to find out his meaning in life.

The tea-stall confrontation between Bachchan and Sinha is probably the most explosive encounter between two heroes ever in Indian cinema; and Bachchan comes out with a subdued, yet strong performance.

Amitabh was becoming the Superstar of Bollywood. Dilip Kumar was the ex King of Bollywood.

Amitabh and Sanjeev Kumar were excellent but I felt they were even better in Sholay together.

Amitabh always outperforms in angry, emotionally charged and frantically suspenseful roles. While portraying anguished roles in tough situations ridden with crises and brazen suspense, Amitabh is second to none.

Amitabh is calm and composed. The role doesn't challenge him much, but he plays it with conviction.

The acting by Amitabh in his dual role is superb...OUTSTANDING.

Amitabh Bachchan is restrained and displays well the hidden pain and the visible pride.

Amitabh is pretty cool as the lawyer and so are vivek obroi & sanjay dutt!!!They keep this film from falling flat.

Kaante is a good film if not an excellent one.

Watch it just for Amitabh, and you won't be disappointed
