Customer Reviews: Oldies but Goodies April 25, 2003 Kali (United Kingdom) 14 out of 15 found this review helpful A wonderfully cheesy Hindi film from the late 1970s when flares were in vogue and disco ruled the roost. Even now some 20 years on, this film still holds its own and is as charming now as it was then but with the added bonus of subtitles to help those people along whose Hindi is somewhat scratchy#8230;pThis is a typical Hindi film with a zillion songs, lots of fancy dance routines along with the usual flimsy plot following the fate of three young brothers who find themselves being raised as a Hindu, Muslim and Christian respectively when they are separated from each other after their father goes on the run from the police and their mother disappears. p#8220;Amar, Akbar, Anthony#8221; is a film with no genre whatsoever; it is a drama, comedy, adventure, musical and love story all rolled into one, with the actors and actresses singing and dancing their way through a series of impossible events that culminate in everyone getting their girl, and the mother and father being reunited after 20 years apart. Who says you can#8217;t have happy ending in 20th century films????pThis is escapism in its literal sense but it is great fun to watch and you will soon find yourself booing the baddies and cheering on the goodies. Oh yes this film has goodies and baddies, kidnapped girls (who happen to be very beautiful) and heroic rescues from burning buildings, the odd miracle or two, along with a forced marriage, one funeral, an act of vengeance and a delightful scene of riding off into the sunset that will have you laughing and cheering from beginning to end.pWith an excellent cast of characters playing the lead roles, all you can do is sit back, pop open a bag of pakoras and much your way through Hindi movie heaven#8230; A blast from the past March 25, 2003 Kali (United Kingdom) 8 out of 9 found this review helpful A wonderfully cheesy Hindi film from the late 1970s when flares were in vogue and disco ruled the roost.

A geat Film April 12, 2003 2 out of 3 found this review helpful A very typical, but highly enjoyable product of 1970's Bollywood! Music, colour, people being thrown through walls and off course loads of dance numbers. The three male leads play brothers separated at an early age who meet up later on in life to give blood to a woman (soon to be discovered...their mum!) Each has developed different backgrounds - a Muslim, a Hindu and a Christian. Eventually, as expected, they join together to fight tyranny! Oh yes and find a love interest. A great sit down film.
