Sarkar (2005)
background music intrudes
Inspired by, not copied from, the Godfather. The parallels are there but it cannot be called a fudge.
Some characters do vaguely remind us of some people but they bare not "based" on them. Good direction and performances make this a very watchable movie.
It is refreshing to see a Hindi movie without the usual song and dance sequences and exotic locales.
Unfortunately the background music intrudes into the conversation most of the time. The director should have been more selective in using the music and should have left some scenes with only the conversation..
Perazhagan (2004)
an lesson on how to deal with a physical handicap
The main character's physical handicap is treated very well.
The friend treats the hero with a hunchback as he would treat a normal person, without any overt sympathy, and even makes fun of it sometimes in a good natured way.
The man with the hunchback carries it off well and there is no hint of self pity.
An object lesson in how to treat a physical handicap and the person with it.
Unfortunately the director has not been able to break away from some clichés and the film runs for longer than it should.
It is watchable and much better than the usual Tamil movie fare.
