Trishul (1978)

Did you people see the same film I saw?

Absolutely Fantastic

A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

Amitabh and Shashi and Shashi and Sanjeev and all three in Trishul made by Yash Chopra who later remade this film into VIJAY(1988), PARAMPARA (1991) and even worser David Dhawan's YEH HAI JALWA(2002)The film starts with Sanjeev-Waheeda romance and then Amitabh comes in with a stylish swagger that only Amitabh could do After an emotional talk with his mom, Vijay comes to Mumbai to find R.K. GuptaShashi always got the flirting scenes and shared good chemistry with Hema. But Rakhee impressed as the genius secretary of Amitabh Her chemistry with Amitabh was awesomeDirection by Yash Chopra is superb, He does a great job handling the drama Music by Khayyam is superb too, Mohabbat Bade Kaam Ki is the best one and all songs are superb, Here too Kishore is a voice for Shashi and not Amitabh just like DEEWAAR Dialogues are power packedAmitabh excels in his tailormade role, every expression, dialogue leaves such a huge impact. Yash Chopra and Amitabh were a great team and always gave their best together Sanjeev Kumar too is superb in his chameleon kinda character He suits the role and his chemistry with Amitabh is superb though he was hardly in his 30s he suits the 50+ character well Shashi is relegated to the background mostly though he does have some moments, He does a great job Though he doesn't get much importance compared to DEEWAAR and KABHIE KABHIE Amongst rest Rakhee does a great job, in 1978 she paired with Bachchan in other blockbusters too like MQS and KASME VAADE Here too she does a great job Hema Malini is good too and looks nice, Poonam Dhillon is okay Sachin is awkward Prem Chopra does a good job as the bad guy Waheeda leaves a mark in a cameo

Yash Chopra and Amitabh was a great pair in 70s after the superhit DEEWAAR(1975) and KABHIE KABHIE(1976)TRISHUL released in 1978 when Amitabh had 4 hits in a row, others being MUQADDAR KA SIKANDAR, DON and KASME VAADEThe film is a superb movie by Yash Chopra + AmitabhIt has a very different story about fight for legitimacy by an illegitimate child which was remade several times in films by Yash Chopra himself in his bad days with trash like VIJAY(1988) and PARAMPARA(1993) and later by David Dhawan in a worst YEH HAI JALWA(2002)The film starts with Sanjeev and Waheeda's romance followed by Sanjeev marrying his boss's daughter. Amitabh is introduced lighting a dynamite and walking over with such a swagger and style that only Bachchan could do. We are introduced to Shashi Kapoor in a light flirting scene with a girl in airport and then starts the best part when Amitabh clashes with Sanjeev Kumar Their scenes are the highlight of the film and here the clash is not much through fights but through business tenders.etc We do have fight scenes of Amitabh/Shetty and some more with some other goons but too limitedThe film keeps you on tenterhooks only disrupted when the romance angle of other stars(Shashi/Hema and Sachin/Poonam) start and the songsJust like DEEWAAR there are no songs on Amitabh/Rakhee which also continued in KAALA PATTHAR(1979) yes there is a small interlude in the song MOHABBAT BADE KAAM KI The film is brilliant and though it gets lengthy at times but yet it is one of the best films by YRF Direction by Yash Chopra is superb, He does a great job handling the drama Music by Khayyam is superb too, Mohabbat Bade Kaam Ki is the best one and all songs are superb, Here too Kishore is a voice for Shashi and not Amitabh just like DEEWAAR Dialogues are power packedAmitabh excels in his tailormade role, every expression, dialogue leaves such a huge impact. Yash Chopra and Amitabh were a great team and always gave their best together Sanjeev Kumar too is superb in his chameleon kinda character He suits the role and his chemistry with Amitabh is superb though he was hardly in his 30s he suits the 50+ character well Shashi is relegated to the background mostly though he does have some moments, He does a great job Though he doesn't get much importance compared to DEEWAAR and KABHIE KABHIE Amongst rest Rakhee does a great job, in 1978 she paired with Bachchan in other blockbusters too like MQS and KASME VAADE Here too she does a great job Hema Malini is good too and looks nice, Poonam Dhillon is okay Sachin is awkward Prem Chopra does a good job as the bad guy Waheeda leaves a mark in a cameo

This is one of Amitabh Bachchan's Angry Young Man action movies. In this one, he is the illegitimate son of a big industrialist. The industrialist, when he was a young man, got a woman pregnant, but at his mother's insistence he married the boss' daughter and left his girlfriend to raise the illegitimate son in poverty. The son, named Vijay Kumar, makes a solemn vow to get justice for his mother by humbling the father who wouldn't take his responsibility as the father of her child.Well, as they say its a pretty good movie. Bachchan gives the usual intense performance. Sanjeev Kumar plays the father in the classic style. Waheeda Rehman is the wronged mother. Later in the plot, Shashi Kapoor shows up as Shekhar, RG Gupta's legitimate son by the boss' daughter. And Hema Malini shows up as Sheetal, Shekhar's love interest.Shashi also played Amitabh's brother in the good son-bad son drama Deewar.Good things for ME were Hema. She was just a gorgeous screen presence back then and every smile warmed things up. In a way, Hema played herself as the confident, ambitious woman. Probably not too hard a role for her.And Bachchan's acting. He's always the most riveting present on the screen. Prem Chopra was pretty good as the oily rival. I also liked Rakhee Gulzar as Geeta.Not too much I didn't like about the movie, but I found some of the songs kind of disruptive to the flow of the story. They weren't badly shot or anything, they just seemed out of place.There was some cleverness in the script. For a while, as business rivals, Gupta and Vijay play kind of a chess game. The screenplay is by Javed Akhtar and shows some intelligence.So, I guess I can give it an 8/10.

Trishul is Amitabh Bachchan's block buster film of year 1978. Film is based on father and son's relationship. Amitabh Bachchan, Sanjeev Kumar done so well in this film. Other characters are only have time-pass work. Shashi Kapoor worked as side hero. His work in this film is only to flirt girls and sing songs. Rakhi is Amitabh Bachchan's heroine. Her roll is only to tell quota of cement to Sanjeev Kumar and Amitabh Bachchan. Hemamalini is Shashi Kapoor's heroine. She looked so beautiful in bell-bottom pants and shirts in song "Jaaneman Tum Kamal Karti Ho" In this song She wear four types of pant-shirts. I think she is so comfortable in pant-shirts. Otherwise she always wear saris in films. Another search of this film is actress Poonam Dhillon. She looked so amazing in this film. She also wear lot of bell-bottoms and pants in this film. This Punjaban make space in Ur heart. Overall film is colorful with bell-bottom pants and shirts.
