sardar ( 1993 film )
the biographical film “sardar” (1993) with paresh rawal in the title role briefly shows this incident near the close of the film, though one would not expect the technical details to be accurate in a popular film like this .
sardar is a 1993 indian biopic on sardar vallabhbhai patel, one of india' s greatest freedom fighters, directed by ketan mehta and written by noted playwright vijay tendulkar .
the shattered photographs of sardar and dust on it, that is also a significant symbol of lost memories of sardar .
the film was screened retrospective on august 12, 2016 at the independence day film festival jointly presented by the indian directorate of film festivals and ministry of defense, commemorating 70th indian independence day .

the film has used flashback and documentary techniques with real footages and newspaper articles, it can be consider as a biopic on the life of sardar vallbhbhai patel. all evidence related to the events is there. in the film viewer can observe the larger than life image of sardar patel, and all other characters like nehru and mahatma gandhi are downplayed .
he is the son of director veeru devgan, is a stunt choreographer and action film director and his mother, veena, is a film producer. devgan’s brother, anil devgan, is a hindi, film director. in 1991, devgan began his professional career in phool aur kaante against madhoo .
abhay was the hindi adaptation of aalavandhan (a 2001 tamil film) which also starred kamal hassan .
in the scene of violence towards hindus in direct action plan by jinha we can observe that there were fire all around and in the centre of it there were sardar and victims of this action plan were craving for help towards sardar, so we can say that country was burning and only hope was sardar. even after the independence most of party members have selected sardar as the prime minister but because of jawaharlal nehru sardar patel has taken his foot back and allowed nehru to be the prime minister .
sardar patel was very much in favour nonviolence, but when muslim and jinnah has started direct action plan, he quit the idea of being non violent and sufferer. sardar can be considered more practical man in comparison of gandhi and nehru. very effective convincing power we can observe in sardar, the way he convince gandhi by saying that ,
this biographical epic on sardar patel concentrates largely on the last five years of sradars life from 1945 to 1950 when he strode on the national scene, a key figure in wresting indias independence and integrating the nation. the film deals with all the myriad and debilitating problems that india faced in its pre and immediate post independence period, which turned out to be sardar patels finest hour when problem after monumental problem was solved by sardar patel. this film is a tribute to the sardars inestimable contribution to the making of free india, a memory that can stead to face the problems of india today and tomorrow .
at the end of the movie when gandhiji died, his dead body becomes a symbol of friendship or we can say reunion of sardar and nehru and at the end, after plan crash sardar is sitting in free india from kashmir to kanya kumari .
the symbolism of three monkeys has shown in the film as a deep psyche of sardar and nehru and its effect on gandhi. in the scenes of conversations of gandhi with sardar and nehru we could see the focus of camera is first upon white statues of three monkeys and when there are arguments between these three characters we could see the colour of statue is black. it is a deep archetypal symbolism of colour .
by watching the film we come to know about various fact of sardar and how he was a person and as a freedom fighter. we can see two different personalities of him, as a person he was against gandhi before he met him and abusing him but after one meeting with gandhi he became follower of gandhi .
the starting of the movie is very significant, the very first scene is of an office of press, where the reporters are discussing about the condition of nation after independence; where people wanted old days of britishraj back, and thinking that whatever freedom fighters have done is of no use. in another scene we can see that the photographs of sardar patel are shattered on the floor and they are collecting the photographs as if they are collecting the old memories and their lost identity among people and they decides to make film on sardar patel .
ajay devgan is a noted indian bollywood actor, film director, and producer. he is widely considered as one of the most popular actors of hindi cinema who has appeared in over a hundred hindi films .
the film, which is about the last five years of the indian leader subhas chandra' s life, also includes his life' s story in flashback sequences. however, it does not cover the controversy surrounding bose' s death .
the difference between the two movies may lie in the plot and the fact that vince vaughn' s sperm donations amounted to a total of 533 kids being born as compared to ayyushman' s 53 (guess vince is more fertile). but the basic idea of the film, sperm donation, has been inspired by vicky donor .
till now ajay acted in 107 movies. in his acting career, ajay’s hits are 13, semi - hits are 26, flops are 30 and disasters are 14. his biggest blockbusters are rajneeti and golmaal 3. also, devgan owns a production company ajay devgn films which was established in 2000. in 2008 he debuted as a film director with “u me aur hum” .
the sardar’s colleague jagjivan ram had not been so fortunate. he was seriously injured in a boac airliner’s crash in iran shortly before independence in which several people were killed. so he was the only cabinet minister who was unable to attend the independence celebrations on august 15, 1947. a brief account of the crash is here (though it does not mention his name) :
footnote: the maharaja of patiala was one of the passengers on the sardar’s aircraft. earlier, as yuvraj of patiala, he had played one test match for india in 1933 - 34 scoring a fifty. he would have played more tests for india if he was not actively involved in politics. his son captain amarinder singh, continues to be an important force in punjab’s politics .
a little known fact about sardar patel: he had a little adventure when his plane force - landed near shahpura about 65 km north of jaipur on march 29, 1949 where he was going to attend the inauguration of the new state of rajasthan. he and the other occupants of the aircraft were unhurt, but his whereabouts were not known for a few hours until he reappeared in jaipur. the other passengers included his daughter maniben and the maharaja of patiala .
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 !
it is 1993 and 21 - year - old lance armstrong (ben foster) is making his debut in the tour de france. the sunday times journalist, david walsh (chris o’dowd) interviews the young lance over a game of table football. lance is determined and hugely self - confident, as well as extremely competitive. chatting with his press colleagues afterwards, david tells them how cocky lance was. when they ask if he is a contender, david says he absolutely is – in the one day classic races. on the starting line at a belgian one day race, johan bruyneel (denis menochet) tells the young upstart lance that he will never win as others have more red cells in their blood – they are doping. the race plays out as bruyneel predicted. meanwhile in a lecture hall, dr michele ferrari (guillaume canet) is learning about trials of the drug epo. during the race, lance watches hopelessly as three members of one team drop everybody else and easily finish in the top three places. at the lecture, ferrari asks about the use of epo in sport, but is told that would be unethical. ferrari shrugs. at the belgian race press conference, ferrari is on stage with the winners, a member of their team. questioned as to problems with the use of epo, he once again dismisses all concerns. lance tries to convince his hesitant teammate frankie andreu (edward hogg) that they have to use epo to be in with a chance. lance approaches ferrari and tells him he wants to join his “program”, but the doctor dismisses him telling him that he doesn’t have the right physique to be a good climber. lance buys epo for his team at a pharmacy in switzerland. a year later, back at the belgian one day classic, it is now lance dropping the peloton and winning the race by a huge margin. however after the celebrations, lance starts to cough up blood. his doctor diagnoses testicular cancer, at the third, and final, stage. treatment begins and lance is subjected to gruelling rounds of surgery and chemotherapy. he pushes himself even when at his lowest and tries to walk down the hospital corridor, but collapses into a wheelchair .

vallabhai patel was born in a wealthy gujarat - based family and initially did not take part in the freedom struggle, scoffed at mohandas gandhi, and referred to him as a social worker. but when mohandas gave a speech in ahmedabad during 1915, vallabhai changed his mind, decides to immerse himself in the freedom struggle, and created awareness in the entire state of gujarat so much so that he was considered eligible for the position of the first prime minister of an independent india. but when the congress working committee supported jawarhal nehru, vallabhai bowed out amidst intense debate on the creation of pakistan by mohammad ali jinnah of the muslim league. while mohandas was not inclined to endorse any move to partition india, mountbatten, the british viceroy, along with jawarharlal, vallabhai, and others were in favor of partitioning india and allowing jinnah to create two pakistan, one each on the borders of rajastan and bengal respectively, in order to prevent any bloodshed... .

every actor craves that one role which he would like to be remembered for the rest of his life. . for the versatile paresh rawal it has to be the individual who played a crucial role in indian politics... right from his makeup. body language it is a tour de force. . the movie is detailed in nature and hence rewarding and exhaustive at the same time. . nevertheless it is right up there with train to pakistan, gandhi my father and kaalapaani with the freedom struggle in the background, take a bow ketan mehta and team !

i' m sure everyone is sick and tired of hearing how bollywood movies have been duplicated or inspired by hollywood movies. but did you know that this happens the other way around as well? here is a list of 10 hollywood flicks that were inspired by bollywood films :
chandran rutnam had to cast academy award winner ben kingsley to pull off naseeruddin shah' s character from a wednesday. yes, a common man is not just inspired but is an official remake of neeraj pandey' s masterpiece .
apart from the name (direct translation) and the love triangle, the epic scene of the stalker, shahrukh khan, carving k - k - k - kiran' s name on his chest has also been adapted by james foley in his american thriller, fear .
well the best friend may not be a tapori as portrayed by aamir khan, but the basic plot of the movie is a girl caught in a love triangle between her best friend and a movie star .
though the plot differs, this famous thriller by quentin tarentino had action sequences which he himself told anurag kashyap were inspired by the kamal hassan - starrer abhay .
pearl harbor was less about pearl harbor but more about a romantic love triangle between two best friends and a girl. plots for both movies are fairly similar and the only difference between the two movies was that sangam had only one friend as a pilot whereas its hollywood counterpart had both .
the makers of leap year claimed the movie was not inspired by jab we met. but why don' t you decide for yourself? a bubbly, highly - talkative girl on her way to propose to her boyfriend meets a stranger and shares a hotel room with him. they fall in love, get separated but eventually re - unite and get married .
jennifer aniston = sushmita sen & adam sandler = salman khan. yes, that does not really add up, but the basic plots of both movies are very similar .
both these movies were inspired by cactus flower (1969) but with a different storyline .
we are all aware that the bollywood movie partner is said to be a copy of hitch. but it looks like hitch itself was inspired by the plot of chhoti si baat where a guy who fails to woo a girl takes help of a man who makes it his profession to help people with similar problems .
the last gun makers of longding: an inside story | scoopwhoop presents chase ep. 3
as he recovers, frankie and his wife betsy (elaine cassidy) visit lance in hospital. a doctor arrives for a consultation, and lance tells his friends to stay. lance makes a slow but determined recovery. he travels to ferrara, italy, to the home of dr ferrari. through his illness, he has lost the weight required of him and ferrari is convinced enough by his will to win to take him on. he subjects lance to a huge range of tests, analysis and training exercises so that he is no longer ‘confined by the limits of his physiology’ and lance reaches peak fitness, getting to grips with some of the substances and doping methods which would propel his career forward along the way. during this time, the so - called ‘festina affair’ has erupted after a team soigneur has been caught with performance enhancing drugs. this has led to police raids across the tour and the discovery that drug use is rife. ferrari and armstrong laugh at them for getting caught. lance brings bruyneel on board as director, explaining that following his illness the only team that would take him are the very minor us postal team. bruyneel says that they have to go out to win, and lance says that after his cancer he never wants to come so close to losing again. lance, bruyneel and ferrari head up the team’s rigorous training programme, at altitude .
lance reunites with agent bill stapleton (lee pace) who had spotted lance’s commercial potential before he got sick. bill now sees an ever more potent story, especially when lance passionately announces that he wants to start a cancer charity. 4 it is 1999. david in his press car banters about whether this year really is to be rebranded the tour of renewal, after last year’s drugs farce. they say that armstrong has risen from the dead and as an early supporter david says that he really thinks lance can win a stage. there is jubilation when lance does win the opening stage. david writes about the ensuing mountain stage. wearing the winner’s yellow jersey, lance starts to attack on the galibier climb; he breaks away with tremendous power leaving the peloton far below. there is excitement in the press room. david alone is silent. lance reaches the finish in sestriere way ahead of the peloton. his previous best in the mountains was 39th. david reminds his colleagues about last year’s doping scandal and that the speeds have gone up this year, but they don’t listen. they reply that the racers wouldn’t be able to hide it. david retorts that lance rode so fast up the steep mountain that he had to use his brakes. he talks to a young rider who, according to his physiology, should be faster than lance and who shares his own suspicions with david. lance then seeks out this young rider and warns him off .
in the 2003 tour, lance achieves his fifth win. lance is still surreptitiously meeting ferrari, although ferrari has now been found guilty and banned from sports and medical practice. cyclist felippo simeoni has testified against him, so lance approaches him during the next stage and blatantly threatens to destroy him. floyd watches on with increasing discomfort, but lance is not to be deterred. the team have now become blasé about their doping: their bus pulls over on a pyrenean roadside for them to hook up to drips in the midst of the cavalcade. only floyd is becoming increasingly uneasy. 5 the uci call a meeting with lance to discuss an epo test. the official appears anxious as he tells lance that the test was borderline but not conclusive. stapleton and lance are obviously not happy but lance seems calm, he says that he will leave it to them to do what is best for the sport. lance prepares for a press conference anticipating the inevitable question about doping. once on stage, he is steely eyed and defensive. he reiterates his mantra that he has never tested positive for performance enhancing drugs. david is in the room and probes lance about the image of cycling and his association with a doctor so heavily embroiled in doping. lance puts him down and dismisses these challenges, telling them all that they all have to fall back in love with cycling .
floyd watches on from the back of the room. later he confronts bruyneel about the drugs and about the untouchable lance with his “cancer shield”. unperturbed, bruyneel tells floyd that he can always leave. betsy has now heard about david and the two of them talk. she tells him about the conversation in the hospital room, and david in turn reports this to his editor. now david has started to attract attention. emma contacts him and passes on all the incriminating evidence that she has. cyclist stephen swart also has information to support david’s case. david has now gathered enough evidence for his editor to finally agree that he can publish his story in the newspaper, under the headline ‘la confidential’. david is invited to texas by bob hamman (dustin hoffman), an insurer for the us postal team who now has doubts that lance is entitled to the $ 5 million bonuses that he is owed for his tour triumphs. if lance is cheating in races, then he is also cheating him. lance is incensed by david’s story. he rages about emma, who he presumes tipped david off, calling her an ’alcoholic whore‘, and gives stapleton a series of commands – to threaten emma, get frankie to ‘muzzle‘ his wife, ’stonewall‘ walsh, find out who he travels with and freeze him out, offer david’s american publisher lance’s new book to create a conflict of interest. lance rants that he will not be brought down. whilst lance brings a libel case against the sunday times, an arbitration case is mounted against lance by bob hamman. stapleton threatens frankie, and lance defames him to potential employers. at arbritration, lance arrogantly and angrily deflects all the questions. bruyneel warns off david’s colleagues at the tour. the sunday times loses to lance and pays out £300, 000 in damages. hamman also loses to lance and is forced to pay out the $ 5 million bonus money, but he tells stapleton that he knows lance has lied under oath. stapleton smirks that lance will retire and then nothing can touch him .
the following tour is won by floyd, but he gets caught using testosterone. although he denies it (unconvincingly), he is stripped of his title. floyd returns to his community. meanwhile lance’s time is now spent making mindless commercials and giving corporate speeches. lance decides that after four years, he is going to make a tour comeback. bruyneel tells him that it is a bad idea - he is too old, it’s vain and they have got away with it until now. but lance won’t quit, he says he is coming back for the fight against cancer .
floyd, who is still ostracised from the sport, calls imploring lance to have him on the team, but lance dismisses him - sorry, you got caught. the tour does not go well for lance. he can’t keep pace with the new star on his team, alberto contador, who goes on to win, leaving him in third place. contador then humiliates him further by telling the press that he allowed lance his third position. meanwhile feeling like he has no options, floyd decides to turn himself in to the us anti - doping agency’s travis tygart. he exposes lance, who is finally recognised as the leader in a culture of doping. the tide is finally turning against lance. he receives a lifetime ban from sports. he is a broken man. lance is interviewed by oprah winfrey, david watches with his editor on tv. grim faced and broken, lance finally admits he doped in every tour that he won. we see lance cycle to the remote dead man’s hole, and look down into the deep water. lance tells oprah that it was a mythic story but it wasn’t true. lance plunges into the water hole. he cycles home, alone on an empty road .
he has just 2 weeks left & i need rs. 5. 5 lakh to save him .
