Agneepath(1990)/Scarface(1983)-(Movies To See Before You Die-Crime)

Sadly it’s again an undisclosed adaptation directed by one of the most talked about director in Indian cinema, Mukul S. Anand. Though its an inspired version of “Scarface”, still its quite different in characterisation and treatment which makes it impressive to a great extent.
Mithun Chakraborthy as krishna iyer m.a does a fine job, but Amitabh Bachchan delivers even better as deenanath chouhan and later as the powerful don. The best part is the art direction and background music in the movie complimenting each frame & shot. The film makes you stand with respect as its ends. The top most performance is by the boy child who is fabulous and acts like a complete pro in his art.
The English  original is quite different in treatment and script too. But still it stands intact as the original and moreover is also based on another film of the same name. So go for both the movies as two equal masterpieces made by their respective directors. But I once again feel that the Indian film-makers should have accepted it as an adaptation on their own, rather than people pointing it out as an allegation.
