WARNING !

The DVD title and picture here are wrong: there are two versions of the film Deewaar -- one from 1975 and one from 2004 -- this listing has the poster from the 1975 film but the date of the 2004 film. Amitabh Bacchan is in both films, but the 1975 film is directed by Yash Chopra, the 2004 one by Luthria.

Amazon has messed up and intermingled these two films in most of the listings for Deewaar (and to confuse matters more, both films are sometimes also mistransliterated Deewar).

Amazon gets a low one star rating for confusing one of the most popular Hindi films of all time.

Beware before you buy.

This movie is misleading: The cover image and star list, as well as the plot synopsis suggest that this is Deewaar(1975). However, the film is Deewar(2004) which is described in the editorial review. The DVD case is likewise confusing, with the incorrect cover image, but correct summary on the back. Both star Amitabh Bachchan. Confusing! Make sure you are buying the film that you intended to!!

(as a side note, I have not watched this film (2004 version) yet, so I don't know how it rates!)

I had the same problem as the other reviewer and told Amazon and they sent yet another copy of the DVD with the same problem, the cover is correct, the disc print is correct, the data for the movie ON the disc is for Deewaar 2004. The original 1975 Deewaar Directed by Yash Chopra is what it should be. Great movie, pity that Amazon cannot sort this problem out. They are the best out there!

I love this movie. Everytime I watch this movie I love it. My kid love it too. They have become a big Amitabh fan after watching this movie.
