bollywood fan pretty much hold amitabh bachan mard in high regard but i think it be very overrated . manmohan desai collaborate before on movie like suhaag and parvarish and amar akbar anthony and naseeb and desh premee and coolie and i have see all of them i like so i have very high expectation before i watch mard and be bitterly disappointed . my main gripe about mard be that it feel like amar akbar anthony part 2 and maybe mr desai run out of idea and after all he have be use that formula for year and year . 1. first of all some member of the cast be repeat from aaa and for instance the police inspector who bring up amar and the muslim who bring up akbar and nirupa roy and a few more . 2. in aaa nirupa roy lose her eyesight and in mard she lose her voice 3. in aaa there be the famous song ( shirdi wale sai baba ) well in mard we have amitabh sing maa sherawali . have see aaa for over 1000 time i notice that straight away . my other gripe be that some of the situation just seem ridiculous and true manmohan desai make leave your brain at the door kind of movie but with mard i think he go too far . my last gripe be that compare to song in previous manmohan desai movie i find the song rather disappoint . i know it have many fan that swear by it but i do not like it one bit . it actually pain me to write this review because i be such a huge fan and have love his movie since i be a child .
