Amar Akbar Anthony Hindi Original Blu Ray with English Subtitles Classic Bollywood Old Film Amitabh Bachchan, Rishi Kapoor

Original

This story of a family separated by chance and reunited by fate is widely and rightly considered a Bollywood classic. The film (three hours long -- short by Bollywood standards) is a wonderful exercise in absurdity, an amalgam of countless genres which manages to make some obvious but worthy observations about family and religion in its spare time. It's a Unitarian-Kung Fu-romcom-gangster-musical-revenge flick, directed by Manmohan Desai with visual flair and a winking understanding of the tropes he exploits. The acting is superb and ridiculous, and the titular brothers are given ample opportunity to shine. Amitabh Bachchan's Anthony (a charismatic and empathic Kung Fu Catholic) and Pran's grave Kishanlal are especially memorable. The villains are over the top, the song and dance numbers extravagant, the fight sequences utterly ludicrous. Can't recommend it enough. The movie's primary flaws lie in its length and the relative weakness of its female characters.Unfortunately, the DVD release of the film is deeply problematic. The subtitles are truly dismal, failing to translate ALL of the songs and huge chunks of dialogue. English misspellings abound. The translation smacks of laziness, and one can only hope for a more definitive release at some point. Four or five star film, but it's difficult to recommend the DVD.

Superb Blu Ray authoring . Almost takes you to the 35 mm Cinema screen in which we watched this in 1970s ! Superb clarity , color .

I've been waiting patiently for other Amitabh Bachchan classics to be released on Blu-ray, already having the Blu-ray's of Kabhi Kabhie, Silsila, Deewar in my collection, I was waiting for more to be released. Was over the moon when I heard A.A.A will be released and it was well worth the wait. Crystal clear picture and sound. Very well presented and was glad that such a classic was released on Blu-ray. Lets hope now that other Amitabh Bachchan classics, such as Suhaag, Sholay, Ram Balram, Dostana, Mahan, Majboor, Zanjeer, Muqaddar Ka Sikander, Shaan, Pukar, Trishul, Do Aur Do Paanch and Parvarish get released on Blu-ray as soon as...
