Amitabh Bachchan is considered by many to be the King of Bollywood (compared to him, SRK is not even considered a challenger; however, SRK is the best.) As I have only seen Mr. Bachchan in recent movies, like Cheeni Kum, Veer-Zaara, Mohabbatein, Bhagban, Bhoothnath, and Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham, I wanted to see him in a movie from when he first became famous. Faraar was recommended to me by the very helpful person in the video store. In this movie, Raj (Amitabh Bachchan) learns of his sister's death at the hands of a person who is acquitted at the hands of the law. Raj takes it upon himself to see justice done and ends up murdering the man. He goes on the run and hides in the house of a police man, where he takes the policeman's son hostage. It turns out that Raj is intimately connected in the past with the policeman's wife. She discovers who he is when she overhears Raj singing a song the two of them had shared to her son as a lullaby. (The same lullaby she sings to her son...) What ensues is interesting. The acting is good and the action believable. A good human interest story. I'd recommend this movie also.
