#Ghazab

It's Friyaay... and today's shot is throwing back to 1982 when we saw Dharmendra in two avatars (Ajay and Vijay). Let's talk Ghazab...


PLOT:
Ajay (Munna Babu, as he is called) is a semi-senile, gentle but naive young man who is heir to a wealthy family estate. His employees and alleged well-wishers (Arjun Singh, Jatha Shankar, Munishi Gurbachan, Bhairav), who conspired and killed his father also conspire against him and introduce him to his long-estranged mother, Shakuntala, and brother, Vijay; whom are actually actors who have been hired by Jatha Shankar. 

Munna, who believes he has met his mother and brother, is overjoyed and asks his 'brother' to take charge of the affairs of the estate. This joy is quite short-lived, as he finds out their plan and gets killed. Jamuna, his love interest, and her brother, Raju witness the killing. Jamuna goes mad and Raju gets his tongue cut off.

Munna's restless spirit seeks out his real brother in Bombay; he finds him and appeals to him to avenge his death. Vijay initially thinks he is hallucinating, but when his mother confirms that he had a twin brother, he agrees to accompany Munna's spirit back to take vengeance. 

Vijay arrives the estate and meets with the conspirators who introduce him to their hired actors as his step mother and brother, Ajay. He plays along with them. They soon find out that he was on to them and kidnap his mother. They begin to bury her alive but Munna's spirit enters Vijay's body and gives him astonishing power with which he defeated all of them.

Vijay and Jamuna get married and the film ends with Munna making sure that he sees Vijay kiss Jamuna and chases us (the viewers) away...

---------------------------------------------
I love this film. Dhamendra was my crush growing up and Munna's avatar was very cute and fun to watch. 

My favorite song from the film is 'Aage Se Dekho Peechhe Se Dekho' although the most popular is Munna's  'Jan E Man Jan E Jigar'.
