"Apne to apne hote hain" - Power of three deols

It was not a usual morning, there was heavy down pour and the water can be seen on the road. We postponed our day's work and planned to watch Apne in the Fame Adlabs, Malad.

We reached there on time and there was hardly anybody for the movies in morning shows (10 am), may be because of heavy rain. We were 10-15 inside the theatre for Apne, seems like we were watching some special screening :-)

Finally, the wait is over to watch Dharmendra along with Sunny and Bobby. Dharmendra's performance was so powerful that others around him look really small. Dharmendra's actually made his character live and never looked like he is acting (he was so natural).

Dharmendra is the central force of ‘Apne’. Without him the movie would lose its soul. It is both surprising and pleasing to see Dharmendra deliver a powerhouse performance

The movie starts slowly and the story started building up. APNE is rich in emotions and a number of sequences, especially those between Dharmendra and Sunny, are electrifying. Also, the boxing matches [Chris Anderson] are pulse-pounding and you clench your fists tightly due to the tension that's depicted on screen.

Having seen the film, it is clear why it is the best flick to cast Dharmendra and his two sons (Sunny Deol and Bobby Deol) together. The reason is its story and the three main characters in it. There is no doubt that the three Deols drew a lot from their personal lives into their performances in the film. That is why the emotions and the kinship show on the big screen, too.

APNE is a movie you can watch with your entire family including your eldest member of the family to the youngest one.

The only thing in which movie lacked behind is its Music and why did all the songs are sang by Himesh himself?

After a long time we got to watch a movie like this. Director, Anil Sharma, has done brilliant job as well.
