Amitabh Bachchan, sans beard again after Khakee, plays Sunil Damle, a pivotal role, the exact nature of which has been guarded like a top-secret formula. The second one is of course a very short style. He sports two different looks in the film - the first one being a closely-cropped hairdo which has some of his hair flopping on his forehead. Hrithik Roshan plays Karan Shergill, a maverick, reckless youth who has no lakshya in life, until he gets a sudden burst of inspiration to serve the armed forces. I apologize as I missed out the prize name of the inimitable Raj Zutshi who was last seen in the shockingly perfectly spelt Krishna Cottage. I just informed you about the cast and crew of Lakshya. Each of them have tasted great success and appreciation in their previous ventures - Farhan Akhtar while directing Dil Chahta Hai, Preity Zinta in a confident portrayal of Naina in Kal Ho Na Ho, Hrithik captivating the nation in a frenzy after an earth-shattering performance in Koi Mil Gaya, Amitabh as the angry old man in Khakee, Boman Irani as the wacky dean in the rip-roaring Munnabhai MBBS and Om Puri in brilliant performances in Dhoop and Maqbool. All of which adds up to mammoth expectations from Lakshya.Īn interesting co-incidence: The entire lead cast of Lakshya is basking in glory at the moment. Moreover, Dil Chahta Hai boasted of tunes to which I groove to, even today. Farhan Akhtar's debut directorial venture was of course the inimitable Dil Chahta Hai, which was a cinematic masterpiece, to say the least. The above line was what I was going through when I picked up the audio CD of Farhan Akhtar's Lakshya. Men are often undone by their own greatness.
