Sarkar
Normally, any attempt to copy the Godfather classic would be met with extreme skepticism and even outright disdain.
Yet, for some reason you wish this movie had maintained an even stronger likeness to Cappola's classic.
Sarkar unwittingly tries to express it's uniqueness and this is where it falls. It demonizes Sunny's equivalent from the get-go and completely ignores the need to build any familial bonds with the estranged brother. In fact, the entire treatment of the elder brother's role is a huge disappointment and is the biggest let down for building the tragic character of Michael - in this case played by Abhishek.
Then again, this is an Indian movie and tragedy will be avoided.
But despite the skepticism, at the end of the movie, you do wish that it wouldn't have been all that bad an attempt if they stuck to Michael's story with a little more diligence.

and i loved zeher as well...the songs were OFF THE HOOK...
DS: One cannot really reject Sarkar. On so many levels it remains faithful to The Godfather. But that botched up elder brother's (Vishnu?) character! :@
Totally uncalled for negligence!!!
SECOND: Parineeta (Sanju baba's age didn't help at all..looked like their father)
THIRD: Zeher (overall entertainer)
FUNNIEST MOVIE: NO ENTRY
