Also, the length of the film goes a little beyond the usual one, i.e, 3 hours. Several sequences extend and drag a bit, in the first half. The editing, however, seems a little tacky and could have been paid more attention to. The film also uses animation technology and those scenes are just outstanding. The fight sequences, as it's an action film, are choreographed and executed very well, especially the climax fight. Even today, these visuals outnumber a lot of present day movies. The visual effects are completely out of the box and tremendously excellent, for these kind of visual effects didn't reach India at that time.

The story and screenplay of ABHAY are both something about which I can talk about till many hours. In this story, all other characters except the two played by Kamal are almost pawns in this game. The other cast including Raveena Tandon, Manisha Koirala etc is good in the respective parts. But the film won a national award of course, for its world class, top notch visual effects.

He rather deserved a national award for this, but he didn't. Since it is evident from the posters and trailers that he plays two roles, it needs to be put forward that Kamal Haasan gives a stellar performance as the titular psychopath character Abhay. He once again dominates the entire film with his striking presence. ABHAY raises the bar of Indian Cinema and extends it at par with the cinema of the world.ĪBHAY is entirely a Kamal Haasan show. But this film shows that Indian cinema doesn't always mean the same kind of films with boring and romantic scripts. Neither did people like them too much as they kept sticking only to romantic films. This film was made and released at a time when such films weren't made at all. You get the evidence from his 2001 Hindi Action film ABHAY. Reviewed by Prashast_Singh 9 / 10 Abhay Review : An excellent film from the time when such films weren't made at all! There are a lot of action packed encounters that Abhay has with his own brother, the estranged wife and many other characters including a very fun loving and popular singer - actress Sharmilee (Manisha Koirala) (cameo) who all willingly or unwillingly come in midst of the fight of a right man at the wrong place within wrong circumstances. He escapes the mental asylum to fulfill his duty towards his brother by getting rid of the woman. When Abhay meets Tejasvini, who visualizes her as her evil step mother who was the cause of the fall of his family and the death of both his parents and separation from his twin brother whom he loves dearly. story follows Abhay (Haasan) who has a disturbed childhood and severe mental trauma misunderstands her to be Sister in Law Tejasvini (Raveena Tandon) who is supposed to marry his Army Commando twin brother Major Vijay (Haasan).
