This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

This is a movie close to my heart as this was one of the movies I used to watch when I used to go to my Grandma's house. This movie is absolutely perfect. What makes it so perfect is that so much is packed into one film, there is action, comedy,drama and so much more. The plot was not original but how it is packaged is extraordinary.The story, for those who don't already know is about three brothers who get separated from their parents and how their lives intertwine. One is brought up by a Hindu, one by a Christian and the other by a Muslim. Years later they meet when they give blood to their real mother (they don't know that yet). Their Father(Kishenlal) is seeking vengeance on Robert, who he blames for separating his family. Coincidentally he is also bringing up Jenny, Robert's daughter who he stole from him. Cues heaps of fun for all ages. The songs also deserves a special mention, all of them are perfect. My personal favourite was the title song. This was a huge hit when released and it my opinion remains of Manmohan Desai's best films. All the three heroes performed well, however on the downside there was not much scope on the heroines. Another downside was Jeevan,in my opinion he is not good as the main villain. Pran and Nirupa Roy were superb as the parents. Coincidentally 4 years later Manmohan Desai made Naseeb, another one of my favourite movies. Wonderfully done, well done Manmohan Desai.

Amar , Akbar, Anthony whenever I hear any of those three names I think of one of the greatest movies I've seen. I'm 15 minutes into the movie and I'm already in tears, I couldn't believe a movie like this had so much impact at the first 15-20 minutes. This movie was all around a good movie and is a must see. It starts out with a poor male & female who have three children and the poor man is in trouble seeking out some way to get money for his wife's sickness plus food for his children. When he goes to Robert he begs and the emotion he put into that movie was so heavy you could feel the pain the poor man was going trough. Robert was actual one of those guys that made me say "Just kill this guy already". Usually I like negative rolls and support the negative rolls but Robert was doing a amazing job. The poor man escapes from the sharp claws from Robert he leaves with a car which was filled with gold. He stops by his house to find a "sucide" letter from his wife so he takes his kids and drives off to somewhere then put's his kids in some random park. The bad guys start chasing him so Robert tries to lose em but get's tied up in a car accident which he survived I must say that was a very fake part in the movie but every movie has a flaw eh? Oh well anyways he finds the gold which surprisingly isn't burned and runs around the street with it trying to avoid the cops. He goes to the park to see that his kids are nowhere to be found he starts yelling Aman..? He dosen't yell the other two names so it's him screaming AMAN! Akbar was raised by a Muslim by the time he found the child he was going to drive home but to see Akbar's mom in the street then the Muslim guy takes her to her home but she's blind! She has no idea she is in present with one of her kids. Anthony faints at a local church and Amar was found by a police officer. All three of them grew up with pride of there religion so here we are somewhat 20 years later.The mom loses bunch of blood then is rushed to her hospital but what the kids don't know is that they are brothers and they really don't know there real mother nor does the mother know her kids due to her being blind. So Amar, Akbar , and Anthony all end up at the same place in the hospital because they have the same blood type of there mother(NO DUH!!!) so they donate blood all to there mom then here comes the opening cerdits with a very touching song. We get to the journey of the three young men and we find out that Akbar & Anthony are very close(Well at least in the first half) so anyways Anthony always refers to the old woman as his mother and so do the other two I think. Anthony also calls Akbar & Amar as his brothers but let's get back to there real dad it seems his the evil guy now LMFAO! But Robert get's away with bunch of gold and Anthony somehow helps him out for a little bit in the movie but what happens? Will Robert regain control of money and power again? Will Amar, Akbar, Anthony find the truth? Will the mom ever be able to see her children again? Watch the blockbuster to find out.Also the girl who fell in love with Amar did horrible acting at first she said she stole money because there family was poor but she looked like she was giving false information(worst crying in a movie I've seen) I wouldn't believe her no matter what but it turns out she told the truth. I was shocked..

Amitabh Bachchan is a fantastic actor. Him and Sharukh Khan are known as the Bollywood kings. Nearly every film that Amitabh Bachchan comes in I give it either 9 out of 10, or 10 out of 10 like Naseeb, Coolie, Amar, Akbar, Anthony, Mard and a lot of other films. Amar, Akbar, Anthony is about 3 brothers who are left by their Mum with their Dad and they all get separated while they are children. Amar is found by a Indian and is grown to be an Indian.Akbar is found by a Muslim and is grown to be a Muslim.Anthony is found by a Christian and is grown to be a Christian and at the end the family including the mother all find each other.I loved the storyline and the fighting too.

This is a perfect hindi masala movie - it has everything - love, action, comedy, good songs and a great story. Amar, Akbar and Anthony are all brothers separated when they are very young. However fate has them crossing paths and eventually a big family re-union at the end.You walk out of the film, however, only remembering Amitabh as Anthony. He is at his hilarious best. There are places when he becomes the Angry Young Man he is famous for - but his comedy scenes are what set him apart in this movie. The song "My name is Anthony Gonsalves" is an absolute classic and himself talking into the mirror after being beaten up is another great scene.All in all if you want a movie to entertain you for 3 hours this is it.
