Zanjeer: Amitabh Bachchan may have cried in a corner after watching Ram Charan’s disaster
Amitabh Bachchan's 1973 classic Zanjeer is often considered a pathbreaking film that established the "angry young man" archetype and helped launch the career of its lead actor. The original Zanjeer featured an objectified portrayal of women, a shot-for-shot remake in Telugu and Tamil, and a Malayalam remake with a stoic performance from Jayan.
The 2013 Hindi remake, starring Ram Charan, however, fails to capture the essence of the original, with the lead character exhibiting a lack of emotional range and the filmmakers updating the script to modern sensibilities, including increasingly objectifying and patronizing female characters.
