Kalyug

Honorable Great Master Director Mr. Shyam Benegal has created a Masterpiece.

All the actors have done Excellent Job.

I want say something specially for His Royal Highness Great Shashi Kapoor. This is the only movie where he is himself. His clothes, His Life Style, Character, Charm, Beauty is unmatched.

I wish every man on the surface of this planet look at least like him.

Shashi is just excellent.

Thank you very much for your kind considerations.

This Movie is a remarkable piece of work from Shyam Benegal. Influence of Mahabharata cannot be missed. Shashi Kapoor's screen presence is strong, Handsome man. No songs in an era when songs, music played major role was courageous on part of filmmakers. Not a surprise, owing to the strong performances and strong storyline, this film was awarded best film in 1981.

Mahabharata is an Hindu epic. This epic tells us the story of two families fighting for the throne of Hastinapur. The film Kalyug tells us the story of two business families fighting for supremacy in the field of business. But this fight leads to sorrows and deaths. Kalyug is one of the finest Indian films ever made. Shashi Kapoor and Rekha have given the best performance of their lives in this film.

Kalyug, an excellent film, is Shyam Benegal's (along with his writers Pt Satyadev Dubey and Girish Karnad) effort to extrapolate the Mahabharata phenomenon in modern context. Kalyug is a thorough and deeply analytical cinematic work. Kalyug is humanization of characters, deified in the mythological epic. Traits of Mahabharat's mythological characters are adopted and imposed on the characters of the film but hardly any character represents one single character included in the Mahabharata and one character may be an amalgam of many characters. Film doesn't let audience fall for easy conclusions that this character is this and thus so well defined as per the mythology, no it is not about fixed characterization. It is more about basic characterization of human being. Here in Kalyug, every character is doing mistakes and they can not be defined in a black and white manner. Kalyug has commercial actors like Shashi Kapoor and Rekha but camera does not stick to one character only.

Kalyug is rich in everything. Good story, good screen play and dialogs, fascinating cinematography,wonderful performances and a super class direction.

It's one of the finest films, ever made in Hindi cinema.

Movie ahead of its time probably one of the finest and underrated movies of Shashi Kapoor. It is produced by his Company Filmvalas and directed by Shyam Benegal. All Characters in this movie have done justice to there roles background music is superb it doesn't make the make look tht old movie has a lot of twist it shows how important it is to compete and have competition. Raj Babbar doesn't have much role Anant nag and Rehka stills the show one of there serious roles Kulbhushan karbanda and Reema lagoo are Okay Ak Hangal was his usual Urmila play the young boy. Sushma seth was the same like all her movies. Amrish puri doesnt have much in the movie same for Om puri. Supriya Pathak first movie. over All I rate this movie 8.5 a good watch if you like a ram gopal varma kinda movies this is a must watch movie doesn't have songs only 1 (what's your problem)
