http://www.rediff.com/movies/slide-show/slide-show-1-ten-unf orgettable-scenes-from-amitabh-bachchan-s-zanjeer/20130513.h tm Forty years ago, he was just a lanky young man waiting to hit big. 40 years later, he's a superstar, legend and icon. On May 11, 1973, Amitabh Bachchan's fortunes changed for good with the breakthrough success of Prakash Mehra's Zanjeer. Written by the proficient duo Salim-Javed, the revenge saga about a tormented cop fighting his childhood demons not only turned Bachchan into a household name but effectively triggered the 'angry young man' phenomenon, whose glorious imagery has only become more grandiose with time. We celebrate this Bachchan milestone co-starring Jaya Bachchan (then Bhaduri), Pran, Bindu and Ajit with a compilation of its 10 memorable scenes. 1. The complete emotionality of Bachchan's Vijay and his brooding temperament and recurring nightmares is based on the trauma this scene unfolds. There's a sense of danger looming as the camera alternates between a husband and wife casually chatting about admitting their young son (playing a game of hide-and-seek with his oblivious parents) to a good school and slowly approaching steps of an unseen figure, even as Diwali crackers fill up the background in all its deafening element. The sound of crackers and bullets merge as the figure emerges in the form of Ajit, wearing a conspicuous bracelet linking a horse charm, and mechanically shoots the boy-in-hiding's entire family in one single moment. |
