Platicsco Good story, Not enough for a whole film
Tedfoldol everything you have heard about this movie is true.
CommentsXp Best movie ever!
CrawlerChunky In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.
gorgonite Oh Dear......., dear me .........Sarfarosh has weathered quite badly since it came out in 99. It may have been cutting edge then, however it now plays like an episode of Aaron Spelling's Glitter magazine (Season 99).Aamir Khan plays boy next door Ajay Singh (nice fro bro). Since we're now in 2013, let's just call him Andy Singh.Yesterday Andy was a fighter pilot protecting Hindustan from the Empire. Today Andy is an edgy freedom fighter, traumatized from childhood, after stumbling upon a cache of Lethal Weapon videos. Tomorrow Andy is destined to be man addicted to ink who has forgotten how to exit the gymn.Supporting our hero, we have 2 very strong performance from Naseeruddin Shah (blind dude from Mohra) and Sonali Ben (unforgettable in Mumbai).Naseeruddin plays a gentle poet who sings ghazals sweet as the morning dew. Not any old sweet dew though, we're talking the kind of dew that drips off Bambi's nose on Xmas day. Men want to be his brother, and chicks want to be his mum. Let's just call him Johnny Cash.Sonali plays a rather pimped out Jenna Rink. Is Jenna's hotness greater than her charmlessness? One thing's for sure she really is going on 13. Throughout the film she's lumbered with lines such as 'Thank you please', and 'Just chill, chill chill, just chill'.Andy also has a sidekick called Salim, a stubborn sort of fellow who has an inferiority complex regarding the ground Andy walks on. This provides Salim with the opportunity to make a forgettable but film award winning speech about 'how he loves Eden Gardens more than his future Mrs'.As for the ending..... Well my mother predicted the ending correctly 10 minutes into the film. The first 9 minutes are taken up by a song and dance number.Pros - Priests packing tommy guns, Nice ghazals, cute goatsCons - Who was the podgy kid at the beginning?Overall - Timewarped popcorn
piyushga Sarfarosh is a movie very few people can dislike.Movie is neither intense one nor over exerting.It is a movie tightly followed to a very good script.Story of the movie is fast paced,engaging like Sidney Sheldon's novels, has depth and all characters looks very natural and evolved.Although movie is over 3 hrs long but time just flies by.Topics like terrorism,crime , patriotism are dealt with a great aplomb.How arms are smuggled through border and reaches naxalites or bandits,how the police functions,movie makers had clear idea of.It is one good performance of Mukesh rishi as saleem,Aamir khan as ACP and even other small characters like Aamir's department's colleague,family members, everybody has done excellent job.None of the scenes in film looks forcefully inserted and movie progresses to a very concluding climax with every scene.A great movie from debutant director John Mathew Mathhan.
powerbrain Aamir Khan has performed at his best. Loved the movie.Ajay Singh Rathod (Aamir Khan) is a honest officer who hates the criminals and terrorist. He loves his country. He gets some information about criminals who are involve in supply of arms in order to create terrorism.Ajay solves this mystery and reaches the root of this gang. But at the end he comes to know that this terrorism was under-supervision of his very good friend and singer "Gulfam Hassan (Naseeruddin Shah)" The story, Music, Dialogues, everything is just perfect.A MUST SEE
milind John Matthan directs a fantastic film in his directorial debut. With so many characters popping in one after the other it would have been very difficult to maintain the flow of the film which John Matthan has done very successfuly. Aamir Khan as usual has given an excellent performance as A.C.P Rathore who is set to end the flow of Arms and ammunition from Pakistan to India. Aamir, the dedicated actor that he is, had studied all about the police force, the IPS people, talked with many police officers and stayed with some of them to study the role of ACP rathore.Nasserudin Shah has only 6 to 7 scenes but he dominates the movie. He has the role which was similarly played by Jack Nicholson in 'A Few Good Men'. Sonali Bendre is wasted in what turns out to be a fine performance by her. The surprise factor of the film is the acting of Mukesh Rishi which has got lots of critical acclaim from the critics and the general audience. Do not be surprised if he wins all the awards for "The Best Supporting Actor". Although the film is very predictible,the climax is the best part of the scene. This is the one of the best climax ever used in an hindi movie. Its hard to believe that this is John's directorial/writing debut.
