8/10
The Multi-talented Amitabh Bachchan.
18 June 2023
Aakhree Raasta is a crime drama film written and directed by K. Bhagyaraj. The film stars Amitabh Bachchan, Jaya Prada, Late Sridevi, Anupam Kher, Dalip Tahil, Bharat Kapoor and Sadashiv Amrapurkar.

A man is falsely accused of his wife's murder and imprisoned. When he sets out to seek revenge, he finds a police officer on his trail who turns out to be his own son.

This is one of the biggest hits of 80s and the one of major reason is Amitabh Bachchan and this film should be considered as one of his underrated film in terms of his acting particularly the older version in which he was very much impressive.

The plot of the film is good and the execution is also good. The film despite of it's length which is close to three hours keeps you engrossed and nowhere it's felt that the film is derailing from it's path. This film is a revenge drama and the best part of the film is that romantic scenes are kept very limited in the film due to which the pace and momentum of film is never gets disturbed.

Acting is superb and apart from Amitabh Bachchan almost everyone was equally impressive in their respective character be it Jaya Prada, Sridevi, Sadashiv Amrapurkar or Anupam kher who also gives some comic relief and was stupendous in his character.

Music and BGM are good and song like 'Gori ka Sajan" is still very popular. Screenplay of the film is fast and gripping and climax of the film is excellent.

The action scenes are choreographed very well and the way Old Amitabh takes his revenge is been superbly shown. The emotional scene between Old Amitabh and Sridevi is impressive and displays how multidimensional actor Amitabh is as he is also romancing Sridevi in his younger version but still you'll feel as the father of Amitabh is on screen speaking with her. A film mix of lots of emotion with drama, action and some comedy.

A must watch film for all the Amitabh fans.
