Laawaris (1999) User Reviews

Same storyline in both films

[kumaranubhav · 5/10 · 26 July 2022]

Sanjay dutt starrer baaghi in year 2000 has also same storyline & in both film manisha is there. Laawaris is good watchable film but did not gain success on box office. Songs are also good.

Bad rehash of Mashaal

[nadkarnisumeet · 4/10 · 18 July 2021]

Laawaris review :

A bad mishmash of Amitabh Bachchan's Laawaris (1981) and Dilip Kumar's Mashaal (1984); this Laawaris ended up being an abondoned orphan at the ticket windows. Akshaye Khanna didn't suit the role of a roadside gunda and his chemistry with Manisha Koirala was zilch. This was Akshaye's first movie with Dimple Kapadia with whom he was romantically paired later in Dil Chahta Hai (2001). Overall, a boring fare. Had seen it in its first weekend at New Citylight cinema, Matunga.

Regards, Sumeet Nadkarni.

Akshaye's bad days

[silvan-desouza · 1/10 · 10 March 2014]

Akshaye Khanna is an actor with talent but sadly his career had lot of bumpy jerks, his debut was a flop, he got praise in BORDER but then he signed any film, he gave a series of flops. LAAWARIS 1999 was another. The film is similar to Yash Chopra's Mashaal(1984) however it's handling is weak. There are some good scenes but the film is very predictable and gets too melodramatic at many places

Direction is bad Music is decent, Aa Kahi stands out rest are okay

Akshaye Khanna with receeding hairline tries too hard, does impress as an actor but his height and physique works against him, Manisha Koirala is decent, Jackie Shroff and Dimple leave a mark Govind Namdeo is as usual, Parmeet Sethi is as usual rest are okay

watch if you love akshaye

This movie has all the elements of a typical bollywood film for that time...attractive starcast, love story, action, emotions, great soundtrack. I really like akshaye in these down-and-out roles and even in earlier roles like these, you can see that he is an actor that is looking for depth in whatever roles he takes on. Manisha's role seems to have been trimmed down quit heavily although she is on all of the movie posters...i guess she is there for the songs. Dimple was great and looks amazing. Jackie was awesome and and looked super handsome. The soundtrack consists of songs that you will play for years to come. Overall a good masala bollywood type movie with the gorgeous and talented Akshaye Khanna!!

A message Between Good and bad

I don't know about the taste of other audience but how can the people do underestimate the low budget good love story and violence situation where a man (captain) who spend his time around bad people called street muggers and take extortion money then a good family come in his area A lawyer(Advocate Anand Saxena ) who is very honest and his wife Mrs. (Kavita Anand Saxena) also a kind woman ,try to change the life of captain ,in starting his didn't take the serious concentrate of their talk then a girl come in his life and he didn't tell her that he is a street mugger who is he like very much , lawyer's wife make him feel that he should change from now ,then After some conflict and fights scene he became a good man then save the girl from the don's son (who the captain worked for before became the good man) then they runway here and there to save themselves from his gang , story very good , acting are superb and some dialogues are heart touching Very entertaining Movie .
