YMMV / Amar Akbar Anthony

• Magnificent Bastard: Kishanlal, father of the titular trio, is the former chauffeur of crime boss Robert. After taking the fall for an accident caused by Robert and spending time in jail for it, he returns home to find his kids starving and wife sick, despite Robert assuring him that they would be taken care of. After Robert humiliates him and mocks his plight, Kishanlal shoots him and flees in one of his cars, later finding a crate of gold in it. He uses this gold to build his own criminal empire and buy out his former boss' organization, subjecting him to the same humiliations Kishanlal himself received from Robert many years ago. As Robert's actions also led to him getting separated from his family, Kishanlal kidnaps Robert's infant daughter, raising her as his niece and sending her abroad to finish her college, also framing Robert as her father's killer, denying Robert any kind of relation with her and circumventing his attempts at getting to her. When Kishnlal gets arrested at the end of the movie, he is just happy to be reunited with his wife and children after 22 years, and that Robert got his comeuppance.
• Moral Event Horizon: If Robert hadn't crossed it earlier in the movie, he definitely did when he murders Father Gonsalves for trying to intervene in Jenny's kidnapping.
• Narm Charm: Everything in this movie without exception.
  • "My name is Anthony Gonsalves" where Amitabh Bachchan comes out of an Easter Egg.
• The Woobie: Bharthi, Kishanlal's wife, goes through a lot in the movie. When we first meet her, she is suffering from tuberculosis. Then in the span of a day, she goes blind, loses her children, and is told that her husband is dead. She isn't reunited with them till 22 years later, and has presumably been living alone during that time.
