DID  YOU   KNOW

Sarkar is Godfather, dumbed-down.
Sarkar could well have been an inspiringly awesome remake, but, as it gets increasingly diluted, it turns into The Godfather, rehashed. Flitting between Ramu's own take on an uber-powerful family and Francis Ford Coppola's classic, mixing mythology with masala, is far too ambitious a plan, and even a director as accomplished as Varma bites off too much more than he can tolerably chew.
Why, isn't this a take on the greatest crime saga of all, with some of the most memorable characters in motion picture history? Yes, but the quality of writing is abysmal. The dialogues are clunky, and there's a whole host of addendums to the Coppola concept, as if Varma wants to say this is his film, not a clone. Big mistake. It would never have been a replica, merely because of Ramu's treatment.
In the desperate urge to establish originality, the story overcompensates--to very unfortunate effect. Sloppy editing, with an uncharacteristic lack of sharp economy usually shown by the director, worsens things further.
Again, lovers of the Coppola classic are likely to be unforgiving of this film, but, as mentioned, its biggest demerit is its refusal to remain an adaptation. Wasted potential is written all over Sarkar, and a few good frames do not make a movie good. This film, as the opening minutes reveal, had the potential to be Great. It turns out to be passable.
If this was a film made by a first-time director, I would have smiled and called it a valiant effort. But when Ram Gopal Varma, crafter of Company, calls this his greatest film ever, I can't help but be dejected.

Bollywood has lost its mind in my opinion.

They think they are doing great, but all new movies i lately saw are flops, hopeless films.  They just make it sound like they are great films....and we all fall for them. What a waste of time and money!!

I also would like to hear what Big B. has to say regarding this rehashing of classic Hollywood movies....I guess money is the root of all this, even Big B. has fallen into this trap....In my opinion, Big B. is not so Big after all...just an actor who must need money real bad...

I agree, and now that Big B has had that surgery, he should really slow down or retire from films. I am getting tired of his same white Goatee looks, and same style in every movie.

However, i would like to see him more only if he accepts roles like the one in Paheli, it was a small role but good character he played. Those kinds of roles suits him.

I finally got to watch "black" and fell in love with big b  all over again. as i did with all the other characters in that movie. the backdrops, the music, the actors all of them were just amazing. i know that the story isnt new and has been made a few times already but  i still say hats off.
