Review of the Movie Sardar by Ketan Mehta
Nowadays, in Bollywood, making a biopic has become a modern trend. People like to watch their national figure on screen. It enhances the popularity of their hero. The director Ketan Mehta has made such a film Sardar (1993) on Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, one of India's greatest freedom fighters. The movie shows how Sardar didn't approve of Mahatma Gandhi's preaching and how one day after listening to him he starts working with Gandhiji. Sardar is seen successfully arranging Satyagraha in Gujarat. The film also shows the differences between Sardar Patel and Nehru.
The movie shows us some great insights from the pre independence period. The release date of this movie is 1994. The script is written by Vijay Tendulkar. It was published on Apr 16, 2015. The role of Sardar is played by Paresh Raval and the movie was successful at box office. The director has dealt with the history of Independence without damaging or distorting it. We all know that Sardar is famous for the unification of kingly states but a layman may not know minute details of this process. The movie helps us see the hidden truth. Paresh Raval, as a theatre actor, could justify the role of Sardar very well. He has proved that his image is neither established as a comedian nor as a villain. He can play the serious, heroic role also. The director has projected documentary clips intermittently throughout the movie as well as popular patriotic songs of the time. The character of Gandhiji played by Annu Kapoor is of course a foil character. The movie could be watched in a single sitting without boredom.
