Avtaar is one of the 80’s critically acclaim movie directed by Mohan Kumar who has made several successful films.Avtaar not only was a huge commercial hit, but it is a film that was very highly reviewed.It is unfortunate that Rajesh Khanna had to miss out on the Best Actor award to another great acting performance of 1983, Naseeruddin Shah for Masoom.Avtaar in my opinion was one of the three best films of 1983 and is a must see, specially for Rajesh Khanna fans.
Cast: Rajesh Khanna, Shabana Azmi, A. K. Hangal
This is a copy of Hollywood Hit See no Evil Hear no Evil but eventhough this was still ever so funny.Kader Khan and Anupom Kher play the lead characters.Kader Khan delivers a Superb performance playing the deaf.Anupom Kher gives a Brilliant performance as the blind.These are Two of Bollywood’s king of comedy who have a great partnership together. 
This is an another classic film of Rajesh Khanna with the same director, Mr. Mohan Kumar after all time classic Avataar.But the most significant fact is to watch in this film, the classic performance of Mr. Khanna in a completely different way of characterization that no body can say that this is the same old man of Avataar.This ‘otherness’ can only be seen in Rajesh Khanna so far as Indian movies are concerned.It is so because his way of expressing a character just comes directly through heart, which makes every character natural and life like.
Rama Rao Tatineni’s mid-90’s superhit action movie “Ravan Raaj” delivers the true story of kidney smugllers in a very well treated and realistic way and Mithun delivered, as usual, a superb performance. Music was good. Action scenes revealed that Mithun was still young despite his age. Locations shot were also very good, but wonder where the last part was shot - in India or overseas.

This film rocks.It is possibly the best Indian remake of the Godfather and I believe that Mr. Ram Gopal Verma’s Sarkar is a copy of this film.It has fantastic performances by Govinda, Dharmendra, and all others.The film opens with an introduction to our characters and then shapes up pretty good.
