	Zanjeer (1973) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		History appears to be on Mehra's side, for Zanjeer was a resounding success and created the "Angry Young Man" image for Amitabh Bachchan that dominated Indian cinema for the next decade.
		Zanjeer follows the same pattern as many of Amitabh's films - or rather, many of his films follow the pattern of Zanjeer, I guess.
		The conclusion I draw is that ZANJEER is not the best starting point on an Amitabh adulation path, but is definitely worth picking up once such a path has been a little trodden in.

	Rediff On The Net, Movies: Prakash Mehra on the making of a legend
		Zanjeer also drifts into a little psychology, with a horse in a dream representing the suppressed memory of a murdered family.
		Zanjeer never shed a single commercial trapping -- there was the lonely innocent roaming the roads, the foe turned staunch friend, the murdered parents, revenge, everything.
		If Zanjeer scored, it has much to do with the suppressed rage portrayed by the protagonist, played by Amitabh Bachchan, who was preparing to pack up his bags and return to his native Allahabad if this film also failed.

	Zanjeer - Bollywood501
		Beginning here with "Zanjeer" the legend of Amitabh Bachchan and his character of "The Angry Young Man" went on to become the most enduring icon in Bollywood film and Indian cinema history.
		Before "Zanjeer" the Hindi film industry had for over a decade been dominated by romantic social dramas that had reached its peak with the films of Rajesh Khanna in the early 70s.
		What makes "Zanjeer" different is it is the main character's own internal psychic crisis that causes the lovers inability to live in harmony.

		The newly released DVD was not of a new film, but one we had seen together as students in 1973.
		It was "Zanjeer," one of the first major hits of the Indian megastar Amitabh Bachchan.
		"Zanjeer" had no pretensions to being great cinema, but it was well-acted, well-plotted entertainment, an outstanding example of a certain kind of Bollywood blockbuster typical of Bombay's film industry.

	Amitabh: Flashback
		Zanjeer not only changed Bachchan's fortunes but transformed the face of the Hindi film hero.
		Though prakash mehra's chart-busting Zanjeer, which celebrated a golden jubilee run, established Bachchan as an "acceptable" hero, it was Hrishikesh Mukherjee's Namak Haram that gave his career the real thrust.
		Bachchan's `golden phase' spread over 13 years from Zanjeer (1973) to Aakhree Raasta (1986), which was his last film before he forayed into politics.

		Zanjeer is generally a 4/1 chance (Ukbetting, Bet365, Totalbet) and he should be around that price this evening.
		ZANJEER is running under perfect conditions and I think the best horse at this distance.
		He has won at a Mile before but that was a dreadful maiden handicap and he later won from a 16lbs higher mark so he must have been thrown in that day.

	Filmiholic » Blog Archive » Zanjeer
		This 1973 Prakash Mehra movie is often cited as the launch of the Amitabh Bachchan angry-young-man role that was a turning point in the actor’s career as well as mainstream Hindi cinema, and coincided with a growing dissatisfaction with post-Independence government. It’s a story of one man’s revenge for the wrongs done to his family.
		But never mind all that; Zanjeer is packed with funky 70s fashions, w-i-d-e sideburns and a fantastic getting-even story.
		The orphan Vijay is taken in by a police officer (again, reminiscent of one of the three boys in Amar, Akbar, Anthony) and lives in a caring home, but the child is still thwarted by dreams of a white horse, ridden by a masked figure clad in fl, surrounded by mist.

		Amitabh, following a series of flops, was toying with the idea of packing his bags and returning to Allahabad for good when screenplay writers Salim and Javed chanced upon Bombay to Goa.
		But it was long enough to tell the writers of Zanjeer that they had found their angry young man.
		Zanjeer was released in 1973 and neither Amitabh nor the film industry was ever the same again.

	HardNews - Filmi Cop-Out
		Written by Salim-Javed, Zanjeer let loose upon India a new kind of hero, the angry young man motif that would dominate Bollywood for a decade and a half thereafter, breaking every preconception of and redefining creatures of the law.
		Vijay, the hero of Zanjeer, a study in how to sustain boiling point through three hours of screen intensity, is an honest police officer who adopts unorthodox methods in his pursuit of justice.
		Film writer Javed Akthar believes that Zanjeer was the outcome and a reflection of mass socio-political disillusionment; the quasi-vigilantism that Zanjeer glorified arose from the belief that justice had to be fought for personally.

	Viewsunplugged.com \| Arts: Movies \| Bachchan- The Angry Young Years by Suresh Subramanian (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		Zanjeer's AYM is the least cynical, although the source of his passionate idealism, if one goes by what is discussed above, comes from a negative source, a fl hole.
		But Salim-Javed used their clout to bring in the then gangly newcomer Amitabh because they felt sure of his ability to play the part and the rest is history.
		Sadly Zanjeer seems to have been a fluke classic because Prakash Mehra's subsequent films only ended up prostituting the AYM before he morphed into an all-round buffoon.

		As far as zanjeer zani or talwar zani is concerned-----its legality is conditional.
		Lamentation, performing zanjeer zani, seena zani and wearing fl mourning dress-----the arguments of their legality not only exist but many proofs of their inclination are also there.

		This film is a turning point in the career of superstar Amitabh Bachchan (AB) and even a turning point in the history of Hindi cinema.
		It was with Zanjeer that Amitabh Bachchan created the new "angry young man" that would define this portion of his career.
		The only thing he remembers is that the murderer was wearing a chain (zanjeer), and that memory would always haunt him.

	Bollywood - Special Feature - The Directors That Have Contributed to Amitabh Bachchan´s Legend
		Prakash Mehra was the one who catapulted Amitabh into stardom with Zanjeer in 1973.
		The cop in Zanjeer inspired by the Dirty Harry series, cared less for social niceties, he had the belief that criminals were scum and deserved to be treated as such.
		Matter of fact, Prakash Mehra did give Amitabh various shades of roles in his movies, as the angry cop in Zanjeer, the jilted lover in Muqqadar Ka Sikandar, the illegal son in Laawaris, the faithful smooth talking hotel boy in Namak Halaal and the neglected son who takes to drinking in Sharaabi.

	The Sunday Tribune - Spectrum
		In Zanjeer, Bachchan fought a bitter battle against corruption in the bureaucracy.
		His anger and his fierce battle for personal and inter-personal dignity took the celluloid hero out of stuffy studios to the streets in search of answers to corruption in high places.
		Like Jaya Bhaduri in Zanjeer, Lallan’s soul mate in Yuva watches helplessly as he turns his anger and bitterness into a violent denial of every law of decent living.

	Amitabh Faces His Own Justice
		In Zanjeer the Villain was a bootlegger, in Amar, Akbar, Anthony, Bachchan's character Anthony Gonsalves is a bootlegger.
		The fact that the agents of justice in these films are the brothers of the Bachchan characters notes that their characterizations are intimately related to the Bachchan persona from Zanjeer, Sholay and Muquaddar Ka Sikandar who brings order through violence.
		It is interesting to note that while Amar oversteps the accepted boundries of a policeman in the same way Bachchan does in Zanjeer, he is not reproached for it.
