Sarkar (2005)
A good Movie but pales in front of original
This movie is a very difficult to review movie. Lets start by going through the good part. Amitabh Bachhan as always is brilliant. There are so many pictures amitabh is doing in the current times and still he makes me wonder by doing something in one of these movies which again reminds how good he is . There could not have been any body else in Indian film industry who could have played this role with this conviction as amitabh has done. Same goes for other actors in the movie as well , Abhishake and Kay kay have both come out so good that if you have not seen original , you would be surprised by the sheer rawness and seriousness of the movie.
But thats where the crux is , if you have seen the original than even if you don't want to feel like that you will feel to put this movie on the second grade. Abhishake is excellent but Al pachino is much better than that. The conflict of a person caught between love of his father and a clean life demanded by his would be wife is depicted in such a way by AL pachino that it would be nearly possible for anybody to come closer to that.
over all it is an excellent movie but the way it is , comparisons to original is inevitable and when it is done original proves the point that it is original.
Dhool Ka Phool (1959)
Excellent Movie
This movie depicts a very heart touching story of those times where a girl fears a social stigma and leaves her kid before marriage. This is an old story and has been depicted in many movies but the treatment here is excellent and quite touching.
The acting of manmohan krishna is especially very good when he takes the responsibility of kid. Mala sinha has also done a good job is representing a girl fighting between emotions of revenge, cross loves between old boyfriend , kid and fear of stigma
The other highlight of the movie is songs . All the songs of the movie is just wonderful. If you like old songs then this movie is a collectors item for you. Specifically for old generation people this can be a very good gift.
A good watch
