What’s it about
Ram Charan Teja had big shoes to fill when he decided to take on the remake to Prakash Mehra’s 1973 smash hit Zanjeer. A film that gave Amitabh Bachchan the ‘angry young man’ title and paved the way for a generation of film makers wanting to imitate and aspire to replicate the sentiment of a young police officer who puts an end to crime and cleans up the system. Vijay (Ram Charan) is a honest police officer who faces the brunt of his superiors for wanting to fight corruption and expose the oil mafia. In charge of a case he stumbles upon Mala (Priyanka Chopra), the witness who he ends up protecting and romancing. Teja (Prakash Raj) is the head of the oil mafia with a Mona (Mahie) as his bimbo seductress. Wanting to cash in on the remake craze, Lakhia uses every trick in his book to make this one watchable. But does he succeed
