| The hero Vijay Chauhan aka Bhai (Bhachchan) witnesses his schoolmaster father (Nath) being falsely implicated in a scandal with a prostitute and lynched by the villagers. Bhai grows up to become a gangster and encounters the main villain Kancha Cheena (Denzongpa) in a luxurious place in Mauritius. He joins the villains gang only to have him arrested by the police. When Cheena is released (by arranging to have a key eyewitness killed), the hero murders Cheena after negotiating the path of fire referred to in the films title. The most violent of Bachchans recent films, it was also the most sustained effort to rehabiliate the politically discredited star. The title and opening sequences borrow from a poem by Bachchans father Harivanshrai Bachchan, and show todays New Man walking through the fires of hell to redeem a brutalised world and make it into a new utopia. The mother obsession of Bachchans previous films is still evidence. In spite of Mukul Anands usual fast-moving camera and distorted prespectives, the film occasionally lapses into earlier cinematic idioms (e.g. the foot-stomping song picturisation of Archana Puran Singhs Alibaba song). Anands familiar anarchronisms suggest that they very different historical epochs are actually very similar: an exotic James Bond-type tourist resort and the blood and stench of Bombays gang wars. Although still playing the vigilnte hero, bachchan initially abandoned his well-known baritone voice to suggest an older man speaking in a heavy Bombay Hindi accent, but he later had to re-dub the voice when the experiment proved unpopular. The film was not a major hit. |
