I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

One of the best Bollywood movies of all time.This movie is full of action,drama and revenge. Zanjeer starts when Amithab is still a child and he witnesses his parents being shot by a masked man,the only thing Vijay (amithab) manages to see is a Zanjeer ( chain) on the killers hand.He is then taken in by a police officer and later when he grows up he to will become a police inspector,but now he is looking for revenge.this movie shows Amithab Bachan at his best and is well accompanied by actors like Pran who in the film is called Sher khan is at first enemies with Vijay but lather both Sher khan and Vijay understand how loyal each of them are and become friends.Vijay then meets Mala (Jaya Bachan)who he firsts saves from a goon and then gives her refuge in his house,Vijay and Mala soon start to fall in love with each other.Vijay then realizes that a businessman called Teja (Ajt khan) is the killer of his parents. Teja makes bottles of poisonous alcohol and medicines, when Vijay tries to stop Teja he is accused of committing a crime and is sent to jail. when Vijay comes out he will stop at nothing to get his revenge on Teja .OVERALL I WOULD RATE THIS MOVIE A 9/10

Despite a taut script and lots of action, both of which make sure that this film never gets boring, this movie is a bit too caught up in clichés and stereotypes to ever transgress the "obsessed good guy tracks down fundamentally evil bad guy" scheme, which is a bit of a pity. Nevertheless, it managed to establish Amitabh Bachchan as the "angry young man" of 1970s Indian cinema.Sadly, the talent of Jaya Bhaduri is totally wasted except for her entry scene and a split second at the end - surely a knife-sharpening girl could have been put to better use in an action movie?Overall, my disappointment over what could have been made out of this prevails over the fact that it's a solid action movie.

This is a unique movie (well, until every director started to copy the theme).I don't think I need to comment on the story, it's good though. This is Amitabh's first hit, and he's been on top of the movie industry since then, and did an excellent job as usual. Everyone played their roles very well, and acting wise nothing is wrong. The only thing is if you're like me, you'll think there's a little bit too much violence. Actually, Amitabh got hurt during the shooting and when he was asked he acted like nothing had happened. But later Prakash Mehra felt his head and there was a large bump on it...AB is very dedicated obviously.But excellent songs! KA are wonderful music directors! An entertaining movie, a must see, and you just have to listen to the superbly composed title music.Unbelieveable!

This hard-hitting film is my favourite for many reasons: -powerful performance by amitabh (laughs twice in the movie) -train murder scene which deserves putting Prakash Mehra up there with the all time director greats. Also Mehra has a penchant for location shooting and you get to see some of the dark sides of the mumbai locale. -esoteric motifs and hints strewn all over the movie('Baa baa black sheep, have you any wool') -Teja the bad guy is convincingly portrayed by Ajit -The unending quest for justice and it's bittersweet resolutions -The theme of love vs. revenge All these were amplified in Mehra's second classic 'Muqaddar ka Sikandar' In short it is rewarding viewing!
