Another Sanju's delayed film

[silvan-desouza · 4/10 · 7 March 2014]

ADHARM released in 1992 but the shooting started in 1986 perhaps as Sanju's hair keeps changing between his hairstyle of 1985 cut to his hair of 1989(slight long hair) and then his 1990s mullet. The film also has Shatrughan Sinha who plays Sanju's elder brother, perhaps this film and INSAAF APNE LAHOO SE were started together as both had Shatru-Sanju as brothers and a similar cast. The film starts with a drama wherein Kiran Kumar a wayyard son is thrown out of the house who then avenges their family, alongwith his brother Paresh Rawal, while Vikram Gokhale has sons Shatru and Sanjay Dutt. There is a revenge drama between their own family. The film has a decent story treated in typical 90s style with songs, unwanted comedy.etc One thing baffles me is the casting, Kiran Kumar is roughly same age as Sanjay Dutt and younger then Shatru while he plays their uncle,

Direction by Aziz Sajewal is decent Music is okay, This film has the hit song Tuna Tuna which is quite okay rest are okay

Shatrughan Sinha looking old does well though he is missing for a long part in the film,Sanjay Dutt with different looks throughout is decent, Shabana Azmi never ages but acts well, Anita Raj is okay Shakti Kapoor lends some fun moments, Paresh Rawal is superb as the villain, Gulshan Grover repeats his buffonery, Kiran Kumar does well though he looks younger, rest are okay

Awesome Movie

Sanjay Dutt was in a lean phase after Khatarnaak(1990) and he acted in 6-7 films that flopped. Adharm came around 1992 which was a bumper hit and proved to be a decent comeback for Sanjay Dutt. The film mainly focused on enemity between the good and the bad which is typical yet the story is narrated in a way with ups and downs that the audience will prefer it instantly. The enemies are all in one family where Mr Verma has 2 sons Jagganath and Avinash. Jagganath is the main villain and he is thrown out of the house by Mr Verma after he comes to know how evil Jagganath is. Jagganath swears to avenge his humiliation and will take his revenge. After Mr.Vermas death, Avinash takes responsibility of Dharam Nivas the home Mr Verma created with love and affection, the bunglow. Avinash is falsely trapped in a crime he didn't commit and sent to prison for 14 years. Avinash tells his wife and younger brother Vicky to go away and tell Vicky that his elder brother is dead. As time passes, Vicky and his punjabi Makhan Singh uncle and his mom live in Makhan's house. As time passes, Vicky grows up and after some boring yet funny comedy Vicky comes to know that his brother is alive and who the actual culprits are. Vicky starts working for Jagganath's son Raghunath and at the climax Vicky frames the villains and kills them in some awesome 90s style action seqences. The movie isn't bad at all and it's got a good story. Everyone has acted well especially Shatrugan Sinha and Sanjay Dutt. Shabana Azmi and Anita Raaj do a damn good job though their funny portions bore at times. Songs are average though Tuna Tuna became a superhit and it is an epic song the dance that Shakti and Sanjay perform are silly yet extremely funny. In general, Adharm is a hit movie and awesome in my opinion, a must watch.
