Krantiveer is an action crime film directed by Mehul Kumar. The film stars Nana Patekar, Dimple Kapadia, Atul Agnihotri, Mamta Kulkarni, Danny Denzongpa and Paresh Rawal.
A Juvenile disowned by his family and adopted by a miserly landlord vows to take revenge when the landlord gets killed.
Krantiveer which is now considered as one of the cult films of Indian cinema will always be remembered for the great dialogues by Nana Patekar and superb acting by all the characters. The film which was a blockbuster upon its release raises the issue of common man such as corruption, religious polarization effectively.
The plot of the film is good and execution is also good. I have read few comments in which the viewers are going gaga for the film and declaring the film as a masterpiece but in my opinion the film is decently entertaining and decently made and can't be considered as masterpiece.
The screenplay of the film is good and keep the viewers hooked to the screen, the only distraction could be the songs which comes from no where although Most of the songs were popular at the time of release of the film but now could be distraction for few viewers.
Acting is good and this film became a milestone film in the acting career of Nana Patekar, apart from Nana Patekar, Dimple kapadia, Danny and Paresh Rawal were also equally impressive. Mamta Kulkarni and Atul Agnihotri were there is the film just to dance and sing songs. Climax of the film is superb and the most powerful part of the film.
Overall a good film and one of the most important film for Nana Patekar who surely deserves an applause for this film.
