It could have been funnier with a tighter script, made it look too dull. At 78 . Still an active actor. I think The Blue Umbrella is a much better film on a similar concept. I saw it again after watching GS and it holds up really well after so many years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looked uncomfertable, didnt add much to the character. Vijay raaz , shrishti shrivastva, brijendra kala and the lady who played begum were terrific and looked at ease.

Plus Bharadwaj makes you feel Kapur's fascination with the umbrella in a way that Sarkar simply can't with Mirza's love for the Haveli. Even the relationship/conflict between Khatri and the little girl is much richer. Here the conflict between Mirza and Banke as well as his relationship with Begum come across as under-cooked. I think it's the failure of the writer more than anything else. Ankit_sharma03 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well his character literally spells out his "be inteha mohabbat" for the Haveli and how he didn't even have kids because he wanted the Haveli for himself.

Liked the movie overall. Thupparivaalan - Myshskin / Vishal. Tried to copy Sherlock Holmes, good in parts, didn’t like it. How is Super Deluxe? @Gollum/ @Ankit_sharma03 Super deluxe is awesome.

He was in it for greed, Begum loved the haveli truly, he was a greedy man, didn’t like to live there, but was only seeing it as a property meant for financing his life. He also dug up the land in search of gold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stan AF Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 (edited) Saoirse Ronan & Florence Pugh were good. A good film to see in these troubled times. Streep was judgmental, hilarious and dropping wisdom on these kids. . She's still kicking ass Edited June 18, 2020 by Stan AF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If a dhoni or sachin biopic is made they are shown as gods, all good characters are boring. If tomm ganguly biopc wud be made he ll be shown all good whereas his character is so intersting , it can be a hell of a biopic but no. Fans blind worshiping is a massive problem that film makers cant take such risk Also there are very few director who understand the craft , so combine those 2 together and its an avg film at best Jimmy Cliff and Mariyam 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean we had a Hollywood level story written by itself. A guy from a humble middle class family from a minority community that too from not a cricketing power center like Hyderabad , lead India in 3 Wc’s a record that is unbroken till now, A unique batsman who was one of the most elegant players to watch in full flow, pre-fixing days was one of the most popular cricketers in India, caught for fixing and named as the king pin in a scandal that almost finished cricket, divorced first wife to marry a Bollywood actress, tenure coincided with the rise of Sachin etc I mean if Bollywood can muck that up, then one can only imagine Bollywood’s incompetence.
