Sardar

The movie portrays the period of India when India got independence, a time when the Sardar gave the most to our nation and made us one whole nation. It is no doubt that we needed Gandhi when we needed gandhi, but we only need Sardar when we needed Sardar. It is remarkable what he did.

The movie portrays not only Sardar's very realistically. All the other characters are also well portrayed. The events in the movie are well paced and well cut. Acting is phenomenal by Paresh rawal as well as other characters. By watching this movie one would not only peek into life of Sardar but also visualise how the time was after we got independence.

A must watch for everyone who is interested in our nation's history. Must watch for every Indian. One should know how efforts of our freedom fighters have shaped our nation and biggest democracy in the world.

One of the best movies on politics at the time of India's independence.

A very well researched and well made film with excellent direction, screen play and performances. Very objective and bold film giving a amazing critical view on the life of Sardar Patel, his unmatched contributions to India's freedom and solidarity and also the politics of that time. A must watch for all esp. for those like me who were born decades after that era. I just wish if Sardar Patel had been India's first PM!!

Even though biographical - the film is extremely gripping and well paced. The performances of all the lead actors are excellent, but the screenplay and Ketan Mehta's direction takes the cake.

A truly National Award worthy film.

A MUST WATCH

Its a very noble attempt to portray a great man in another perspective. The facts are shown very honestly and without adding a lot of unwanted drama. I specially liked the original B&W clippings in between so that viewers can relate to the happenings around that era. The portrayal of Nehru is very natural. He is shown a little childish yet loyal to Sardar Patel.

Paresh Rawal did a tremendous job at playing Sardar Patel as did Benjamin Gilani and Tom Alter. I couldn't take my eyes off the movie even though there were minor editing glitches. The movie is very fast paced so even a dull autobiographic topic like this turns to be very interesting. A must watch for all Indians and people interested in Indian history!

Awesome movie...

This movie is a must see to get an idea of what our great leaders sacrificed for independent India and realize what's happening to their dream in 21st century with violence, hatred, racism, and corruption at all time high.

If you think "SARDAR" is brilliant, you're wrong. It's more than that. Ketan Mehta has made a movie that's someway different from many other movies. What's so different? What is so great about "SARDAR"? It's the acting, the real story, the directing, the cinematography, the soundtrack, the sense of humour and the whole rest. In my opinion it's all worth nothing less than a 10 out of 10.

A masterpiece ....

In short simply "THE BEST".

First bad points editing leaves a lot to be desired. cinematography is good in patches. Annu kapur is not impressive as Gandhi. Many crucial details of sardar's life are left out as how he organised congress ? his relationship with Bose. his early struggle to become lawyer.

gud points. A different take from NEhru-Gandhi view on Indian freedom struggle. Brings out grayness of various characters not always black or white. shows Nehru's communist leaning which kept India poor for last 50 yrs. doesn't blame partition on British but shows that Muslims never wanted to live with Hindus. Shows how honest sardar was as he refuses his brother in law business favor while Nehru got everyone in his family appointed to constitutional posts. overall a must watch & should have got Paresh rawal a national award.
