Mithun Chakraborty is given a role of minimal substance, and well, he too is okay. In terms of acting he does an okay job, still considering the film's poor writing. Bachchan is terribly miscast simply because he looks too old for the part.
#Film ganga jamuna saraswati movie
The movie stars Amitabh Bachchan as Ganga. They all were ridiculous and unintentionally funny. I'm talking about the overly silly proceedings with almost every character going superhuman and supernatural, and the moments of lucky coincidence, which Manmohan Desai is so famous for. At times the movie was really unbearable, but it had its moments from time to time, though they still did not make it a worthy watch. The action sequences were, as expected, very overdone, and so was everything else in the movie, which was totally melodramatic, often for no reason. Technically the movie is also very bad, though that was the case with most Hindi movies of its sort at that time. The story of the film is very corny and almost every plot element looks familiar, forced and predictable, and is based on impossible coincidences. The movie follows, cliché after cliché, the stories of its main characters, Ganga, Jamuna, Shankar (who is for some reason omitted from the title) and Saraswathi. The overall music director for the film was Anu Malik and the lyricist was Indeevar and Prayaag Raj, The song "Tere Dar Ko Chhod Chale" was originally sung by Maqbool Ahmed Sabri who was uncredited for the song, and was later re-recorded in the voice of Pankaj Udhas Original Motion Picture Soundtrack No.Gangaa Jamunaa Saraswathi is an awful film. Bharat Bhushan as Pandit, (Shankar's father).Nirupa Roy as Bharati Devi (Ganga's mom).Trilok Kapoor as Thakur Prasad (Ganga's dad).
The remainder of the movie deals with how Ganga and Jamuna reunite, and the roles played by Saraswati and Shankar, not to forget Ganga's mission to exact revenge on his Thakur uncle. Ganga takes the help of Saraswati ( Jayaprada) to take care of his son, and she ends up falling in love with him. Jamuna, who loses her memory from the fall, ends up reaching the home of singer Shankar ( Mithun Chakraborty), who recognizes her from a qawwali performance she had performed, and falls in love with her. Ganga saves his child but cannot find Jamuna. A blast takes place at the bridge and Jamuna falls into the river along with her child. When he returns, Thakur sends his aides to kill him. Ganga is arrested for beating up Thakur's son and is jailed for two years. When Jamuna falls in deep ice, in the process of providing her with jism ki garmi, he ends up having sex with her.
The next day, when the goon returns to take Jamuna away forcibly, Ganga gets into a fight with him. When it starts raining, Ganga ends up going to a nearby lodge to take shelter, pretending he and Jamuna are a couple.
Ganga is forced to stop the truck due to a road block. One day Jamuna ( Meenakshi Sheshadri) jumps into his truck to save herself from a goon who is after her. Bharati Devi's son, Ganga ( Amitabh Bachchan) having taken a pledge to avenge the wrong done to his family, ends up becoming a truck driver. Thakur Hansraj ( Amrish Puri) is a greedy man who kills his brother-in-law, takes the signature of his sister Bharati Devi ( Nirupa Roy) on property papers under a false pretext and takes control of her property.
