WillSushyMedia This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

Doomtomylo a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

Raymond Sierra The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

silvan-desouza Yash Chopra and Amitabh was a great pair in 70s after the superhit DEEWAAR(1975) and KABHIE KABHIE(1976)TRISHUL released in 1978 when Amitabh had 4 hits in a row, others being MUQADDAR KA SIKANDAR, DON and KASME VAADEThe film is a superb movie by Yash Chopra + AmitabhIt has a very different story about fight for legitimacy by an illegitimate child which was remade several times in films by Yash Chopra himself in his bad days with trash like VIJAY(1988) and PARAMPARA(1993) and later by David Dhawan in a worst YEH HAI JALWA(2002)The film starts with Sanjeev and Waheeda's romance followed by Sanjeev marrying his boss's daughter. Amitabh is introduced lighting a dynamite and walking over with such a swagger and style that only Bachchan could do. We are introduced to Shashi Kapoor in a light flirting scene with a girl in airport and then starts the best part when Amitabh clashes with Sanjeev Kumar Their scenes are the highlight of the film and here the clash is not much through fights but through business tenders.etc We do have fight scenes of Amitabh/Shetty and some more with some other goons but too limitedThe film keeps you on tenterhooks only disrupted when the romance angle of other stars(Shashi/Hema and Sachin/Poonam) start and the songsJust like DEEWAAR there are no songs on Amitabh/Rakhee which also continued in KAALA PATTHAR(1979) yes there is a small interlude in the song MOHABBAT BADE KAAM KI The film is brilliant and though it gets lengthy at times but yet it is one of the best films by YRF Direction by Yash Chopra is superb, He does a great job handling the drama Music by Khayyam is superb too, Mohabbat Bade Kaam Ki is the best one and all songs are superb, Here too Kishore is a voice for Shashi and not Amitabh just like DEEWAAR Dialogues are power packedAmitabh excels in his tailormade role, every expression, dialogue leaves such a huge impact. Yash Chopra and Amitabh were a great team and always gave their best together Sanjeev Kumar too is superb in his chameleon kinda character He suits the role and his chemistry with Amitabh is superb though he was hardly in his 30s he suits the 50+ character well Shashi is relegated to the background mostly though he does have some moments, He does a great job Though he doesn't get much importance compared to DEEWAAR and KABHIE KABHIE Amongst rest Rakhee does a great job, in 1978 she paired with Bachchan in other blockbusters too like MQS and KASME VAADE Here too she does a great job Hema Malini is good too and looks nice, Poonam Dhillon is okay Sachin is awkward Prem Chopra does a good job as the bad guy Waheeda leaves a mark in a cameo

Peter Young Yash Chopra's films are mainly about love, whatever love it may be. This story revolves around R.K Gupta, a wealthy businessman whose illegitimate son, Vijay, comes to take revenge on him because of his late mother Shanti's loneliness and miserable life. Back in time, Gupta was deeply in love with Shanti, but his ambitious mother convinced him to marry his rich employer Din Dayal's only daughter Kamini so that he could find success in life. And he did. And now, Vijay, painful and lonely, is decisive to use every possible way to destroy his father, whether it's his business or his personal life, while Gupta does not even know who he is.Beautiful and poignant, the film's most impressive aspect is the portrayal of upper-class Indian people and their relationships. It deals mostly with people who are wealthy, modern and intellectual, yet they have great values which are very Indian. The film shows hidden feelings, ego, love, respect and different basic principles of life. There were many scenes which were touching and exciting, many of which showed how great humanity can be. I personally was moved by the scenes where Vijay meets his father and siblings for the first time. My two favourite scenes (or better called moments) include one scene between Vijay and his father's wife Kamini after a particular accident (you'll know what I'm talking about), and Vijay's scene with his secretary/love interest Geeta, played by Raakhee, when he asks her to stay with him when he feels very lonely and depressed.The film quite clearly belongs to Mr. Amitabh Bachchan who delivers a very sincere performance as the serious, decisive and deeply hurt Vijay. He is good-looking, convincing, and delicately lets the viewer sense his character's pain, pride and determination. Sanjeev Kumar gives another example of his extraordinary acting talent. Shashi Kapoor is very good as Shekhar although his feel-good attitude tends to be a bit exaggerated at some points. Raakhee is brilliant as Geeta, the faithful, honest, intelligent and loving secretary. Hema Malini takes a break from her vivacious and comic roles, and is restrained as the modern and lovely Sheetal. Waheeda Rehman is simply outstanding and makes a remarkable impact with her brief role of Shanti. Poonam Dhillon is quite pretty, and Prem Chopra is as hateful as ever.Overall, Trishul is one of Yash Chopra's most underrated films. A beautifully written drama, it has everything a Yash Chopra movie is known for: a moving story, exceptional dialogues, fantastic music, good emotions, great actors and a very lifelike depiction of relationships, love and circumstances. It is interesting, well directed and well narrated, and should provide a pleasant watch for any Hindi cinema lover.

HeadleyLamarr Trishul has a better cast than Kaala Patthar, but IMO the latter is the better film. Yes, Trishul has Sanjeev and when did he ever fail to satisfy? But his character is most undeveloped in my opinion. In the beginning it is clear that he loves Waheeda, is forced by his mother to marry the rich man's daughter, is torn when she announces she is expecting his child - so he is not all bad. But would just that one act of weak caving-in make him more and more extreme in his dealing with people? No fault at Sanjeev's door, he did a very good job with the material given him. Rakhi was just there, Sachin and his lady, not needed other than to stage a coup against the patriarch. Shashi was quite good, as was Hema - their love story was convincing. Amitabh yet again stole the show with his simmering rage and outrage at the abandonment of his mother. The fight scenes were so real, but the story was somewhat predictable. This one, like Kaala Patthar, was also mostly focused on the story and did not rely on too much romance or songs.One thing I like about these oldies from Yash Chopra is the very matter-of-fact dealing between the sexes. In Kaala Patthar Shashi invites Parveen to stay with him after she is thrown out, tells her he lives by himself, and without any coyness she accepts. In Deewar the relationship between Amitabh and Parveen is most matter-of-fact. In Trishul the same goes for the relationship between Waheeda and Sanjeev. And these were educated people, not from the lower strata - yet they did not have the prudishness one sees on display in modern fare.

gavin_coolhgr Trishul is the story of Amitabh Batchchan who was born out of wedlock, his mother passed away and he goes to Bombay in search of his father Sanjeev Kumar. On arrival his father has changed into a very successful businessman. He, however, also found out that he has got a half brother. But nothing interests him, since he goes to Bombay to take revenge from his father because he though his father made his mother died and there he started his misery in destroying Mr. RK Gupta (Sanjeev Kumar). But at the end it was a twist in story. Where father got to like son. And son got to like father. The movie also starring in Shashi Kapoor, Prem Chopra & Rakhi Gulsar etc. They helped to add more spice to the food.
