Yeshwant (1997)

A watchable movie, theme is familiar and style of acting very much expected

Story line is the one thats has been hackneyed in the Hindi films, it is a theme that has been utilised in so many films that it is losing appeal to me, and I am certain there are others like me among the the audiences of Hindi films. Patekar is a great actor, but this particular role has been done in a style that is getting to be monotonous. To me it seems that Patekar, will never be a versatile actor, or character actor. In an idustry where typecasting is more of a norm than exception, Mr Patekar has got oi a groove he will never be able to get out of. I still enjoyed the movie the first time. There is an energy in the movie, Patekar's intensity can always generate excitement, the 2nd time,it dint do anything for me. The third time, it was "yeah!yeah! What else is new!" And I changed the Channel. For comparison, I have seen The Khakee a few times, even now if I spent a few minutes with it I watch it till the end.
