![]() Jaya Bhaduri played a street gipsy who falls in love with the morose inspector and gives him some reason to smile. Pran as Sher Khan, a local dada with tremendous clout, too gave a lionheart performance as a man who’s ready to sacrifice his own life for a friend. It’s full of low life’s and bent characters and shows how police have to befriend criminals - his best friend is a Pathan goon who reformed his ways - to gather insights and info. Zanjeer, which began with Bachchan seeing a bolting horse in a nightmare and ended with him having avenged the death of his parents, is a gritty portrayal of an honest cop’s life in microsome. Bachchan’s bravura act has been the platinum standard for screen cops ever since. The lanky actor hardly looked like a police inspector but his serious demeanour and the anger in his eyes made you forget everything else. ![]() Cast: Amitabh Bachchan, Jaya Bhaduri, Pran, Om Prakash, Ram Sethi, Ajit, Bindu
