Review of Courage

Courage (1992)
5/10
Arguably one of Bollywood's best action movies
2 August 2010
Long before CHANDNI CHOWK TO CHINA (2009) was proclaimed "Bollywood's first Kung Fu movie" Farogh Siddique made JIGAR starring Ajay Devgan. It had everything familiar to Indian audiences, romance, drama, music and a near 3 hour running time, but also some awesome fight action. Drawing heavily on American Jean-Claude Van Damme movies like BLOODSPORT (1988) and KICKBOXER (1989) as well as some classic Hong Kong Kung Fu flicks, the 1992 film arguably stands as one of Bollywood's best action movies. Shifting between brutal and unintentionally amusing moments and boasting more dancing and romance than any other action movie you're likely to see, even 18 years later it stands up as a hell of an action flick.
