Review of the movie 'Sardar' by ketan Maheta

    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.

Stopping By Woods On A Snowy Evening by Robert Frost

Image
    The narrator (may be the poet himself) of the poem Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening stops by some woods on his way one evening. The narrator knows the owner of the woods and even where he lives. He is a bit relaxed thinking that the owner of the woods lives in the village and so he won’t see the narrator stopping here. Therefore he can continue watching the natural beauty of his snow-covered woods. In the second stanza, the narrator of the poem says that his dear horse, whom he is using as his carriage, must think it strange to stop here between the woods and the frozen lake in a dark evening, as he normally stops near a farmhouse. The narrator calls his horse “ my little horse ”, as it is very dear to him or may be the horse is a little one in the literal sense, i.e., a pony. It may also suggest that the speaker is a humble and ordinary citizen and cannot afford to buy an expensive horse. He also personifies the horse by indicating that it has a thought process and a
