amar and akbar and anthony be separate from their family and from each other a small child and and each be raise separately and in a different faith . amar be raise a hindu and grow up to become a police officer and akbar be raise a muslim and grow up to become a qawaali singer whilst anthony be raise christian and grow up to be a small time hoodlum . most of the movie be focussed on the character of anthony and which be fine by me since he be play by amitabh bachchan surely the most charismatic actor india have ever produce . a adult and none of the brother have any idea of their familial origin and but believe their parent to be dead . to make matter bad and each parent think the other be dead and both think their child be dead . it must be say that they do not go to great length to discover this and but the film would hardly have work if they have so that one piece of disbelief that have to be suspend . it not the last one and a the film be wholly guide by a series of coincidence that gradually have the various member of the family cross each others paths . i suppose one be encourage to believe that these coincidence be orchestrate by the fate or a high power and but put it down to dramatic convenience work just as well for me . also bring into the plot be the love of the three brother and for the requisite romance and feminine wisdom . the boy be lucky enough to have secure the affection of a bevy of beauty and and the actress add a nice touch of glamour and colour to the film . in addition to and intersect with these we have the evil villain of the piece and carry the terribly intimidate name of robert . at 175 minute and amar akbar anthony have plenty of time to flesh out it character and develop the plot in a well paced fashion . the movie go through many different mood and emotion and but after the first 15 minute of melodrama the tone be generally keep light and pleasant . as well a the romance and drama and the movie have a few moment where it shift into action territory anthony especially have a knack for get into a scuffle . the fight be very imaginatively choreograph but terribly execute and look very stag and fake . this all add to the fun of them though . there also the song of course and though not too many especially in the first half of the film . some of these be very catchy and the dance choreography cheerfully engage . although it have something of an ensemble cast and there be no question that the movie belong to amitabh . his character be the most complicated and interesting and and his performance the most subtle and engage . he get all the best line and too . he win the best actor award for this role and and it be largely for his performance that the movie be consider an indian classic . like many indian movie that run in the three hour range and there something in aaa for everybody and and amitabh charisma especially mean that it never grow wearisome . although the first half an hour do not have me terribly engage and the film do just keep get well and good ( and more imaginative ) a it progress . i have to constantly keep upgrade my rating for the film a i watch . by the time the movie reach it climax and it have manage to weave everything together so well that i be thoroughly delight to be watch it . recommend .
