Meri Jung (1985)
from First Day Last Show
Subhash Ghai's 1985 court room drama Meri Jung is our film of choice for this episode. The film stars Anil Kapoor, Meenakshi Sheshadhri, Nutan, Amrish Puri and Javed Jaffrey in pivotal roles. It was Ghai's maiden collaboration with leading man Kapoor - they would go on to make five other films in the next two decades. Puri's G.D Thakral is easily one of the best performances from a hind film villain in the 80's. His performance still towers through a film which at best is mediocre if reviewed now in hindsight of four decades. The film is also one of Javed Akhtar's popular solo works from the decade of 80's. We talk about the characters and their performances - some memorable some not too much. Please let us know what you think of our review of Arun Varma vs Thakral!
