Apne proved to be far more what i 'd imagined.The Movie is about shattered dreams of a father who never gives up Played by Dharam paji with such excellence that have yield him his one of the best performances of lifetime.Apne revolves around his shattered dreams of becoming of india's first heavyweight champion,but he was banned for fifteen years for the false doping charges,the hurted and humiliated boxer(Dharam paji) took this as a challenge and determined to produce a new world champion in form of his own son Sunny.
But after four years practice in vain ,Sunny decides to quit boxing for the good of his family,But Dad dharam does nt forgive him as his long cherished dream shatters again.Dharam paji live the hope again as he finds a new student(Aryan Vaidya) who is keen to learn boxing,Now Dharam who is living with his broken heart charged himself and trained him.But one more time destiny cheats him as moves to Mumbai for an australian coatch and leaves Dharam in solitude,These happens and Bobby,the younger son who is a singer and disabled with his left arm, finds his arm actually recovering.Bobby decides to put himself in dad's long cherished dreams (needless to say Dad is all set to train him)and gets going with few qualifying games with such an attitude that he impose himself to fight against the worlds champ Luca Gracia 'The Killing Machine'.
It happens again,Luca plays dirty in the final and Bobby sought life threatning injurydue to a cheat move by Luca.Bro Sunny despite of his father angst to him turns up to U.S. to meet his brother,and on an events gets challenge from Luca to fight with him to prove heimself,Sunny takes the challange against his father's wish,and trains himself and saves his father grace by serving him with the world champ tital.
No,not for a moment but these action packed events does not take the emotional moments away as its just the part of the emotional sequences thats the heart of the story.
at the end Dharam Paji decides to end his life as his younger son who was batteling with death due to an liver injury,as doctors refuses to perform operation on dad Dharam due to age factor,and dad finds himself responsible for the accident and wants to save his sons life,Fortunately Doctors finds a donor and the saga ends on happy note.
Performancewise i ve mentiones earlier also that movie belongs to Dad Dharam Paji who played the complex character of a father,a husband a disgraced player by destiny and a man of Honour with perfection(new competetion for Big B).The Emotional bond B/w the treo Deols is very well created by the director Anil Sharma.Full credit to him as i've never imagine from the director of 'Tehlka' brand director
Other actors were given the grace of acting when its needed.Sunny's acted well as neglected son and as hurted brother and son who decides to hit the bulls eye.
Bobby as a younger son has done justice to his role.Mom Kiron Kherr is amazing as always. Gurls had nothing much to do but they have made their presence felt.
Victor bainerjee as Dharams friend make u feel that one should have such person for life to support in hard times.
Over all the movie revolves u with and at times u feel ur eyes moist with the emotions .
A Must Watch for every moviegoer.
