Millions of viewers praised the film.
Soviet and foreign directors presented many interpretations of the famous novel by Alexandre Dumas “The Three Musketeers”. And if some of the directors tried to transfer the text of the work to the screens as accurately as possible, others treated the literary basis very freely.
So, in 1984, viewers saw the film “Like the Three Musketeers” by Pramod Chakravorty. The Indian screen star transferred the action of Dumas’ novel to his homeland, and, for example, the maharaja became king. The film stars Mithun Chakraborty, Dharmendra and other Bollywood legends in lead roles.
The film was broadcast not only in India, but also in the USSR. And many viewers were sure that the Indian version was the most accurate transcription of the novel. And the Soviet version is just an experiment by screenwriters who moved the action to France. The film was praised for its exciting plot and dynamic shooting and was preferred over the musical with Mikhail Boyarsky in the title role.
“The film simply immerses you in the adventures of Indian musketeers. I watched it for the first time as a child,” “Famous Indian actors, beautiful actresses, interesting plot. Bright outfits, fast horses and formidable villains. Really exciting” – Internet users share their impressions.
