Shashi Kapoor is my favourite actors and he is absolute treat to watch as Javed Khan in this epic.
Directed by Shyam Benegal, Junoon is the story of obsession and love, set around the Indian Mutiny of 1857. The movie tries to outline the war of independence, social and political issues of that time and is able to make that connection.
Junoon is based on Ruskin Bond's book and Shyam Benegal has done an outstanding job in transforming the book in an unforgettable cinema.
For me Junoon is completely Shashi Kapoor's show. He is outstanding in every scene. It's among his best works. Nafisa Ali looks so fresh in Junoon and is able to carry that innocence and portray that emotions on his face. Shabana Azmi is wonderful as Javed Khan's wife.
