	MDAmarAkbarAnthony
		Amar Akbar Anthony (1977) Directed by Manmohan Desai., Vinod Khanna, Rishi Kapoor, Amitabh Bachchan, Nirupa Roy, Jeevan, Pran.
		AAA is the apotheosis of the masala style as well as the lost-and-found-family drama, made clear even before the opening credits (which arrive half an hour into the film).
		AAA became an important part of his star mythos, although, as the academics say, “The masquerade presented by the film helped create an autonomous cult image for the star, which, because not anchored in a coherent narrative, could not be deployed henceforth as a brand image in disparate contexts.” (Rajadhyaksha and Willemen).

		Amar Akbar Anthony, Parvarish, Khoon Paseena and Iman Dharam were all multi-starrers, in which Amitabh shared the limelight with other heroes.
		Parvarish and Amar Akbar Anthony both initiate a theme which was to begin a veritable hallmark of Desai’s cinema.
		Desai was a master of writing taut screenplays, and he successfully show cased Amitabh’s great comic talent in Amar Akbar Anthony, especially in the scene where a drunken Amitabh tries to bandage himself before a mirror, and ends up putting the Band-Aid on the mirror.

	Amar Akbar Anthony: Whoop-it-up fun!
		While all hell breaks loose in the climax Akbar plays the accordion while Amar and Anthony toss the villain to a one-storey high ledge as if he were a volleyball.
		Anthony serenades Jenny by emerging from an Easter egg during a party with a song on his lips and a cane on his arm.
		Amar's romance with Laxmi is restricted to silent but eloquent exchange of looks -- their staid romance is deprived of a special Anand Bakshi penned pulse-racer.

	The Illuminated Lantern - Asian Cinema Reviews: Amar Akbar Anthony
		Akbar (Rishi Kapoor) is raised by a Muslim cleric, Anthony (Amitabh Bachchan) by a Catholic priest, and Amar (Vinod Khanna) by a member of the third great religion of India, a police inspector.
		Akbar is a qawwali singer, in love with the daughter (Neetu Singh) of a textile company owner.
		AMAR AKBAR ANTHONY is pure entertainment, a fantasy film in which improbability piles upon impossibility, and instead of coincedence there is only fate.

	Amar Akbar Anthony
		The eldest son Amar (Vinod Khanna) is adopted by a police officer.
		Apart from this, the scene where Amar Akbar and Anthony are introduced as they simultaneously donate blood to their mother, highlights the vision of the director and his ability to successfully carry off even the most illogical situation convincingly.
		Amar Akbar Anthony remains a cult favourite in the minds of the people and still attracts housefull audiences whenever it is screened.

	Amar Akbar Anthony (1977) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		Amar Akbar Anthony compresses hours of trashy 70s TV and low-budget exploitation films into one concentrated 3-hour dose, distinguishing itself from its American inspirations only by being in Hindi (mostly) and throwing in some spectacularly nonsensical but cool musical numbers.
		The three titular brothers are seperated by a cruel twist of fate as children, growing up to be, respectively, a Hindu police officer, a Muslim singer, and a Christian bar-owner, which allows a variety of low-budget staples to be incorporated.
		Amar Akbar Anthony has a joyfully dismissive attitude towards connective narrative exposition, skipping all the boring parts.

	Films - "Amar Akbar Anthony" (1977) - Bollywood501
		"Amar Akbar Anthony" or 'AAA' as it came to be called (The use of title initials are affectionate abbreviations with Bollywood fans.) brought together three heavyweight heroes of the 70s who were at the top of their fame; Amitabh Bachchan, Rishi Kapoor, and Vinod Khanna.
		Anthony (played by Amitabh Bachchan) is the son who grows up to be a good hearted swaggering bad boy, the rogue hero.
		'AAA' is a 'hero' film, the heroines are secondary and in fact the romance in the film is basically there to showcase how loyal, protective, funny, and entertaining Amar, Akbar, and Anthony really are.

		Anthony has lassi only if either Amar or Akbar or both have it.
		it is not possible for akbar to have it alone because that would contradict (1) and according to (1) he would at least have it with Anthony which would contradict (4).
		Akbar cannot have it, because then Anthony must have it too (Rule 1), yet Anthony cannot have it with Akbar (Rule 4).

		Amar, Akbar and Anthony are separated from their family and from each other as small children, and each is raised separately and in a different faith.
		Amar is raised a Hindu and grows up to become a police officer, Akbar is raised a Muslim and grows up to become a Qawaali singer whilst Anthony is raised Christian and grows up to be a small time hoodlum.
		At 175 minutes, Amar Akbar Anthony has plenty of time to flesh out its characters and develop the plot in a well paced fashion.

	Amar Akbar Anthony
		Akbar’s Empire was grander than that of Suleiman’s, and it’s hard to imagine the Mughals would need a letter of authorisation from their Turkic brethren when it came to deciding who ruled over Desh.
		Anthony's name was never directly mentioned in the media, but in bollywood there were suspicions, and with the right-wingers looking for heads to bash, the photographer had been banished to the backwaters of Ajmer city.
		Anthony claimed that he knew a place, the alley behind the Kool Kat’s Klub to be exact, whence we could avail a stash.

		Amar (Vinod Khanna) has followed in the footsteps of his adoptive father to become a dashing and exemplary (which is to say, tough) police officer, and Akbar (Rishi Kapoor) is a passionate qawwali singer in love with a young doctor named Salma (Neetu Singh).
		In a trice the stepmom and her dastardly gang are behind bars and Lakshmi shifts to the kindly Amar’s house, to henceforth be seen only in saris and with properly tied-back hair, engaged in virtuous activities such as taking in the laundry.
		Hence when it comes to a fistfight between Amar and Anthony, viewers will not be surprised to find the great and lanky Amitabh for once taking a beating; even if he is an inch shorter, Big Brother has to win.

	DVD Reviewer - Review of Amar Akbar Anthony
		Amar, Akbar and Anthony shares with the audience great screwball comedy and melodrama under a very simple approach: Use unqualified logic in dealing with the `it could happen` situation.
		The star of the film is Amitabh Bachchan as Anthony, as he gives one of the best performances in his career.
		Overall this is a film that all films fans must watch to understand and enjoy the rules and way of conventional Hindi cinema that Manmohan Desai had established during the 1970`s which is still used in the 21st century.

		About midway through the movie there's a dance number in which Anthony jumps out of a giant Easter egg, dressed vaguely like Abraham Lincoln, and sings this song.
		Akbar, the Islamic brother, is a qawali singer, which provides more realistic opportunities for dance numbers, less contrived than people just spontaneously bursting into song.
		Amar Akbar Anthony must be seen to be believed, so I hope they rerun it.

		The shocking omission of three Bachchan classics — Deewaar, Sholay and Amar Akbar Anthony — from the actor’s retrospective film festival being held at the Film Society of Lincoln Centre, New York, has raised several questions about how the superstar’s vast repertoire needs to be harnessed for retrospective purposes.
		Jaya Bachchan, who went all out to get the best films into this posh presentation, is very upset by the way doors were shut on the face of a festival that’s not only important, but also prestigious, for the entire film industry.
		Apparently, the distributor of Amar Akbar Anthony, Rajiv Rai (who also holds the rights of Deewaar), and Ramesh Sippy’s nephew Sasha (who owns the rights of Sholay), proved impediments in making the festival complete.

		Bachchan's persona in these films is often defined by two female females: the melodramatic mother, often played by Nirupa Roy, who symbolizes the family and the 'liberated' woman as personified by Zeenat Aman (Don (1978), The Great Gambler (1980)), Parveen Babi (Deewaar, Amar Akbar Anthony (1977), Kaalia (1981)) or Rekha (Mr.

		It should be no surprise if you think about it, but it still is: the way musicians trained in Indian classical traditions teamed up with (mostly Goan) others trained in Western styles, and produced a flowering of music for Hindi films that is unparalleled anywhere.
		Anthony Gonsalves is relevant because there was a real Anthony Gonsalves, a man who both played the music of his Goan roots and understood raags; he composed using both strains (he had a "Sonatina Indiana", among others).
		My husband insists that the waltz was invented in India, because so many Hindi film songs - perhaps older than Amar Akbar Anthony - are written in waltz-time (one example: 'yeh hai Bombay meri jaan').
