Alicia I love this movie so much

Lucybespro It is a performances centric movie

Stevecorp Don't listen to the negative reviews

Tymon Sutton The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.

silvan-desouza Prakash Mehra and AB are one team that except Jaadugar never gave a single flop Muqaddar Ka Sikandar was their 3rd outing together after Zanjeer and Hera Pheri. The film was another winning combo of theirs It brought back Amitabh and Vinod Khanna after Hera Pheri, Khoon Pasina, AAA and Parvarish perhaps for the last time. The film was Amitabh and Rakhee's third pairing in the same year after Trishul and Kasme Vaade which also worked. The film was deemed as Modern Day Devdas and it's a very emotional love story unlike Amitabh's AYM roles. The film starts off with Sikandar shown as a vagabond who gets job in the house of Raakhee after a conflict they separate Amitabh grows up rich by informing the cops about the thief's whereabouts and earns money. Amitabh's character has lot of pathos and emotions while his love for Raakhee is well shown, Amitabh is shown a drunkard which he played mostly in 70s and 80s and we have some funny drunk scenes after the song SALAAM e IShq, Vinod's entry, The scene when Ab and Pyarelal land drunk and Vinod Khanna takes AB home is also funny while the friendship between VK and AB is well handled and so is the love story between VK and Raakhee. The film also has a subplot of AB and Rekha which is like Devdas and Chandramukhi and of course to satiate Big B fans there is lot of action and also subplots of Ranjeet, Amjad Khan.etc Direction by Prakash Mehra is good Music is superb by Kalyanji Anandji, yet again Kishore sings for AB and the result is superb Be it Rote Hue, Salaam E Ishq, O Saathi Re all memorable tracks while Lata also sings superbly in Dil To Hai Dil, Pyaar Zindagi Hai too is a fun number rest are okay.Amitabh Bachchan is exceptional as Sikandar, he is simply terrific, be it in light scenes or the dramatic/emotional scenes Raakhee is as usual in her role Their chemistry is good Vinod Khanna is superb in his supporting act turn,Rekha is amazing in her role that seems a prequel of Umrao Jaan. Amongst rest Ranjeet is okay, Amjad Khan is superb as Dilawar, Shreeram Lagoo is good,Ram Sethi entertains as Pyarelal though being too loud at times

diligentdrool_14 The Plot was really a good one and the movie was well made with Amitabh winning all hearts, as usual. I watched the movie firstly because it stars Mr.Bachchan (who is my favorite actor-I am in love with him!!!). And 'O saathi Re...' is my all time favorite song. My expectations were high from the film and I am happy to say that it has reached that level very convincingly. The story is about an orphan boy (played by Amitabh Bachchan) who is given love and care for a short time by a man and his young daughter. He finds a loving mother in a woman (played by Nirupa Roy-Amitabh's most loved mom on screen). He gets the name Sikander but soon he gets thrown out from the girl's house accused of robbery (which he hadn't committed). His new 'mother' dies leaving her only daughter on Sikander's shoulders. He grows up to a handsome (yeah everyone knows how handsome and cute he is!!!…you go Fido over his Ada…) and responsible man in the same town as his old memsaahab-Kamna (played by raakhee).Sikander is a great characterization who loved his love interest and friend (vishal-vinod khanna) so deeply that he would give his life for its sake... Though it has a tragic end, once you see this film, you can't help falling in love with Amitabh!!!The cast was...I would say...PERFECT!!!...Amitabh just seemed to go deep into the character and play it with such versatility that you actually tend to cry when u see some scenes… His acting is WONDERFUL...AND MORE…The mixture of motions in that character-happiness, love, care, sacrificing mentality, anger…Only Amitabh could have done it so well and in such a touching manner. Obviously Rekha just makes you go bowled over…U feel "arre yaar…she is too beautiful to live"....The jodi the two (amitabh and rekha) make is just beyond words to describe. Not many will love Rakhee's character, though- Mainly because her character doesn't demand much. Vinod Khanna, incite of having just a side character, did a great job and supported Amitabh well. The film also has Amjed Khan doing the villainous role, who at last…kills Sikander and himself dies. Zohra {Rekha} too suicides (That scene is really touching- when she dies lying in Amitabh's Arms) Amjed Khan too proved that he is the best bad man in town!!! Therefore, it was completely an Amitabh show, ably supported by vinod khanna. It's a typical Hindi film but you will love it for sure. The best parts of the film are: Amitabh-First and foremost-He is just the best! The beautiful music (each and every song is wonderful) and the climax.IN SHORT...THIS IS ONE OF MY FAVOURITE films along with classics like Deewaar, Sholay, Don, Kabhie kabhie, Silsila, Amar Akbar Anthony, Mili, Abhimaan, Zanjeer, Trishul, Kaala Pathar, Anand, Chupke Chupke, The Great Gambler, Namak Haraam, Namak Halaal, Sharaabi and other countless numbers...this is one great film which is a proof for the real capacity and versatility of this great actor-Amitabh Bachchan. From a struggling actor…to an actor…to a star…to the superstar of Indian cinema…To the biggest star in the world…the greatest and best actor ever born in the universe…to the GOD of Indian cinema…this man has done it all!!! No wonder he is the called the "One man Industry". He deserves this and more and more.

avisolo This movie while appealing to popular tastes also conceals esoteric reflections on life, death and purpose. Just some examples(warning! -may be a spoiler-watch the movie now!): -To taste life to the full play with death(including a muslim dervish implicitly referring to Jesus Christ) -the purpose of life is love(with subtly impled scenes of estatic sexual union in Zohra's death scene) -Life review before death(occurs twice-once in a dream and then in the last scene) And other such pearls of hidden wisdom A mythological drama for modern times and indeed a 'Film to Remember' This movie is a proud rebuff to those who would denigrate 'bollywood' movies and sets a high standard for quality entertainment in the shakespearean mode rarely equalled since in Bollywood. Take Care, Avi Solomon
