Amar Akbar Anthony
I think of this one as the ‘gateway’ Bollywood movie. If you’re going to get hooked on vintage Bollywood, this is the starter movie.
Remember that joke about the Hindu cop, Muslim holy singer & Catholic gangster? Probably not. Turns out it’s a movie. Three brothers are separated as young children and reunited as adults. Naturally, Nirupa Roy is the Mom who loses her children. She goes blind after running away to commit suicide. She’s also been told she has TB. That somehow never makes it back into the ‘plot.’
There are boxes of gold which seem to be carried with ease. Bollywood gold has a property unique to Bollywood. Outside of Bollywood, gold is one of the heavier elements on the periodic table. In the world of Bollywood, characters easily run while carrying crates of gold. The laws of physics do not apply.
The 70s fashion is....very much in the 70s. The wedding & bridesmaid’s dresses are scary. One of the thugs wears a ‘fudgie the whale’ t-shirt. There is a gravity-defying blood transfusion, catchy-music, Helen (not dancing this time), a transvestite backup band, a singing elf and more that I’m sure I’m forgetting.
Oh, and Abe Lincoln jumps out of a giant Easter Egg.
