Gajanan Motion Movies and Jaya’s Films LLP’s Hum Angrezon Ke Zamane Ke Jailor Haii (A) is the story of a wronged woman’s revenge.
Monica (Raksha Gupta) seeks revenge for the suicide of her mother, by wiping out the family of Thakur Vishwajeet Singh (Milind Gunaji). She kills Thakur’s wife, Savitri (Zarina Wahab), daughter, Pooja (Aarti Choudhary), and son, Rajeev (Bhavesh Kumar). She also murders Swati (Muskan Verma), girlfriend of Rajeev. Monica also gets Pooja’s boyfriend, Ajay (Abhinav Chauhan), and Thakur’s maid, Bijlee (Ritika), murdered. How had Thakur wronged Monica or her mother? Anyway, the murder cases are investigated by police inspectors Dev (Asrani) and Rana (Bhanwar Singh Pundir).
Rakesh Sawant has written a story which is childish, to say the least. Monica avenges her mother’s suicide but she is shown to be quiet about her own rape! Besides, the main culprit is the only one who survives while six people belonging to or associated with his family are killed! The audience wonder what kind of justice this is! Dilip Mishra’s screenplay is full of holes and fails to engage the viewers. The drama unfolds without involving or entertaining the audience. Another defect is that the title has no relevance to the script. The title gives the impression of a comedy (because of the iconic dialogue of Sholay, which is the title) but the drama has no comedy at all. It seems, the makers decided to name the film thus only and only because the investigating police officer’s role is played by Asrani (who had mouthed the iconic dialogue in Sholay). Nisar Akhtar’s dialogues are dull.
Raksha Gupta does well in the role of Monica. Milind Gunaji is fair as Thakur Vishwajeet Singh. Mushtaq Khan is okay as Prem Babu. Asrani is alright as police officer Dev. Bhanwar Singh Pundir is average as police officer Rana. Zarina Wahab is okay as Savitri. Bhavesh Kumar lends ordinary support as Rajeev. Aarti Choudhary is fair in the role of Pooja. Abhinav Chauhan (as Ajay), Muskan Verma (as Swati) and Ritika (as Bijlee) lend routine support.
Rakesh Sawant’s direction is terribly weak. Sayed Ahmed and Praveen More’s music is fair. Lyrics (by Nisar Akhtar, Rahul Kale and Rakesh Sawant) are functional. Bobbie’s song picturisations are quite appealing. Bala Ganesh’s background music is average. David Basu’s cinematography is ordinary. Deepak Sharma’s action and stunt scenes are not very exciting. Sachin Patil’s art direction is below the mark. Yogesh More’s editing leaves something to be desired.
On the whole, Hum Angrezon Ke Zamane Ke Jailor Haii is a flop fare.
Released on 19-6-’26 at Glamour (daily 1 show) and other cinemas of Bombay thru Mat Entertainment. Publicity & opening: poor. …….Also released all over. Opening was weak everywhere.
