Nothing
did
save
the
fate
of
director
Apoorva
Lakhia's
movie
Zanjeer
remake,
that
fell
flat
miserably
at
the
cash
counter
collections.
Not
to
blame
the
audience,
the
film
itself
was
so
lame
and
disappointing
that
a
few
film
critics
even
did
not
think
twice
before
rating
the
movie
nil,
A
BIG
ZERO.
Not
to
deny,
the
expectations
were
equally
high
from
the
Zanjeer
remake.
After
all,
it
is
the
remake
of
the
1973
Zanjeer,
that
featured
the
legendary
Amitabh
Bachchan
and
Jaya
Bachchan
in
leads.
Hence,
when
the
announcement
was
made
that
the
South
star
Ram
Charan
Teja
dared
to
step
into
the
Big
B's
shoes,
that
too
for
a
Bollywood
debut,
it
had
set
many
tongues
wagging
in
the
B-Town.
The
reason
for
this
was
obvious,
since
people
started
wondering
if
Cherry
could
do
justice
to
Mr
Bachchan's
iconic
role.
After
the
film
hit
the
screens
this
Friday,
most
of
the
film
critics
said
that
the
Zanjeer
remake
was
an
utter
blunder.
Some
even
said
that
this
one
is
"an
unforgivably
bad
remake".
The
Zanjeer
remake
falters
big
time
due
to
several
reasons.
As
per
most
of
the
critics,
the
film
fails
in
almost
all
the
aspects.
Go
through
the
slider
to
learn
the
top
7
things
that
did
not
work
in
favour
of
Zanjeer
remake:
Zanjeer
Ram
Charan
Teja
fails
to
fit
into
the
shoes
of
the
megastar
Amitabh
Bachchan
in
Zanjeer
remake.
Cherry
is
nowhere
close
to
the
Big
B
and
his
wooden
expressions
sucks
big
time.
Priyanka
Chopra
Priyanka
Chopra,
who
plays
the
role
of
a
rich
NRI
lady
is
no
way
close
to
the
legendary
Jaya
Bachchan.
PC
is
nothing
in
the
film,
just
a
mere
arm
candy
to
Teja.
She's
overzealous
and
tries
too
hard
to
be
bubbly
in
the
film.
Nil
Chemistry
Almost
nil
chemistry
between
Priyanka
Chopra
and
Ram
Charan
Teja.
The
duo
seem
a
complete
mismatch.
While
one
goes
overboard
with
energy,
the
other
remains
cold
and
expressionless.
Zanjeer
Songs
Too
many
unnecessary
songs
in
the
first
half
ruins
the
plot
and
constantly
distracts
the
audiences.
Tiring
Plot
The
remake
fall
flat
due
to
it's
lazy,
monotonous
plot.
Even
the
fight
sequences
will
simply
make
you
yawn
throughout
the
movie.
Bad
Dialogues
Pathetic
and
stale
dialogues
will
add
up
to
one's
headache.
MIserable
Remake
The
remake
in
one
word
is
miserable
and
on
the
whole,
lacks
the
spirit
and
novelty
of
the
classic
Zanjeer.
