Hellen I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

SparkMore n my opinion it was a great movie with some interesting elements, even though having some plot holes and the ending probably was just too messy and crammed together, but still fun to watch and not your casual movie that is similar to all other ones.

Edwin The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

Cristal The movie really just wants to entertain people.

silvan-desouza Feroz Khan may not be known much as an actor but as a director he did give us some good films, Apradh(1972) being his directorial debut, Dharmatma(1975) is a remake of Godfather(1972) with many changes. It starts with Premnath as Dharmatma who is a matka king based on matka (form of Indian gambling) king Ratan Khatri. It is said that Khan sat down with Khatri to learn more about him and understand the nuances of matka Dharmatma like most of FK films had lot of style, this was the first film shot in Afghanistan. Feroz Khan plays the son who hates his father's illegal business activities(unlike Sarkar which released in 2005 there is only one son). The first half focuses on his romance with Hema Malini set in Afghanistan, some forced sequences and a Bukashi game. It has Danny who lost his role for SHOLAY due to his short role in this. The film is well handled by FK Music by Kalyanji Anandji is fab, Tere Chehre Mein sung by Kishore is awesome, Kya khoob Lagti ho is also fab Like in most Fk films music has always been an highlightFeroz Khan is good with his inimitable style and does a decent job Hema Malini looks her best ever and is decent in a small role Rekha looks simple and is okay Iftekar is good in a small role, Premnath in the main role is good Danny is good in his small role, Ranjeet and Sudhir play Pot smoking brothers, both wearing same outfits and are good, Jeevan as the villain is as usual, Satyen Kapoo with a weird voice is good too Imtiaz Khan is good as the villain, Farida Jalal is as always,fab

morrison-dylan-fan With having enjoyed watching a Curry Western starring producer/lead actor/director Feroz Khan a while ago,I was delighted to spot a 1975 gangster film from Khan that I could watch for a poll taking place on IMDbs Classic Film board,which led to me getting ready to meet the "god man"The plot:Despite having had the opportunity to send the city down the drain,local gangster Dharmatma has done everything he can to stick to his principles,which along with stopping the trafficking of hard drugs into the city,also involves using the money he raises from his illegal gambling activates to be put towards the creation of free schools.Whilst his dads principles have won a lot of fans, Ranbir has always been disguised by the way his dad goes about his business.Sick of Dharmatma's grip on the city,a rival gangster called Jeevan feels that its time the old timer got pushed aside,so that the city can be saturated with hard drugs.Finding it impossible to find a weak spot in Dharmatma's political connections in the city,Jeevan finally sees his chance when Ranbir makes a surprise return,which leads to Jeevan setting his sights on bringing the family down.View on the film:Whilst Feroz Khan never quite gets the threads in Kaushal Bharati's screenplay to fully gel together,he makes sure that his attempts are never a dull experience, thanks to Khan sweeping across the movie with a delightfully bonkers directing style,which goes from covering a bustling night club (back with a Gary Glitter song!) in screeching reds,to sheep busting each other's heads! For the first ever Bollywood movie to be shot in Afghanistan,Khan and cinematographer Kamal Bose use superb wide shots to create a rugged atmosphere,by displaying the dry to the bone locations that the gangsters attempted takeover takes place in.Giving the character a warm nature lacking in Bharati's screenplay, Prem Nath gives an excellent performance as "Darmatma",with Nath knocking Dharmatma's hard exterior to reveal a man with strong (flawed) principles,whose goals are always related to what is best for his family/the city.Joining Nath, Anokhelal gives a wickedly deranged performance as Anokhelal,whilst Feroz Khan does very well at showing a delicate nervousness ,as he prepares to reunite with his Dharmatma.

pvsavla An excellent adaptation of the 1972 Hollywood movie 'Godfather' to Bollywood standards, including its title in Hindi. It has been perfectly Indianised with its melodrama. It has excellent music by Kalyanji Anandji with melodious songs. Feroz Khan has acted beyond expectations equally supported by both the heroines Hema Malini & Rekha. Has mega locations of Afghanistan, reminding one of the western cowboy movies. The movie keeps one engrossed right from the beginning till the end, there isn't any dull moment. This movie can easily figure in one's must-see list. Each and every character has been appropriately casted beginning with Premnath as 'Dharmatma'. Worth watching any day.

jkysharma RGV's Sarkar begins with the director admitting to being deeply influenced by The Godfather like countless directors all over the world. Feroz Khan's Dharmatma marks the beginning of this obsession with Indian film-makers. Given the exalted status of The Godfather with nearly every cinema buff and the fact that adaptations in the Indian milieu have resulted in films like Nayakan and Parinda, I thought Dharmatma was worth a watch. Having watched it, I've to say that despite the patchy feel of the film, there are items of interest here and noteworthy too.Foremost among them is the portion of the film that plays out in Afghanistan (a first for Indian cinema). Hema Malini (as an Afghan clanswoman named Reshma !), Danny Denzongpa and Feroz Khan spice up this sequence that is remarkably well shot by any standards (Buzkashi) and lingers long after the viewing. Premnath in the title role is the other interesting aspect of the film. I'd seen him in Bobby but little else. His portrayal here is just as interesting in its angst and justification for the means he adopts as is the employment of matka (an Indian form of gambling). That it isn't expanded upon is more to do with the way the script handles the character.Apart from these, the viewing also made me think about the meaning of the word adaptation in the cinematic idiom. When one is besotted with an original, how does one strike a balance between faithful recreation and assuming creative license ? Even more valid is the question - how does one identify the aspects of the original that may not be acceptable to the target audience of the adaptation ? For Feroz Khan in this film shares very little with Michael Corleone and undergoes a transformation so minimal in that his fundamentals are hardly shaken by the turn of events. In an act of complete dilution, he is also spared the moral dilemma of having to plan the demise of his brother-in-law too.
