I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Good story, Not enough for a whole film

As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.

Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.

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

An amazing movie on an Indian politician, which is probably better than Gandhi by Sir Attenborough. Paresh Rawal, always a brilliant actor, was outstanding in this movie. The subtleties of politics at that time, the characterization and the attention to minute details makes it a gripping movie from the start to the end. Yes, probably every aspect of Sardar's life was not covered but then it would be unrealistic to do so in a movie. The movie tries to portray the strong political will of the great man, especially during the biggest crisis state of Indian history, the partition, and succeeds in it. His quick decisiveness, his ability to convince Congress, his differences with Nehru on almost all major issues, are all lucidly elaborated and well executed. The movie game me goosebumps, that such a strong man indeed existed on Earth. Sardar Patel was responsible for shaping India as we currently know if. If only he was India's first Prime Minister (sigh). All in all, a must watch for all Indians, current politicians included!

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".

I was very intrigued to watch a movie about the strong man of India, but found the movie to be a bit lackluster. I think this is due to the fact that the editing is so choppy and the film doesn't transition well from scene to scene. The film has its good moments and doesn't completely miss the mark, as there are some scenes that reveal a bit about the man, Vallabhai Patel, but other than that this is almost like a recitation of facts on film about his life, without much reference to why these scenarios are important. This isn't obtuse in the way that films sometimes willfully are to leave some things to the viewers imagination, but rather is just not all that well done. Anyway, if you're interested in Sardar Patel, it's worth a view, but it's no Legend of Bhaghat Singh, or Gandhi for sure.
