Final verdict: Recommended

The cast, music and direction, almost everything is perfect in this timeless drama

Priyadarshan makes amazing movies. An interesting drama told nicely. Anil Kapoor, Tabu and Pooja Batra are excellent. Music too nice. Shows life village in India and conflicts.

Virasat is a film dealing with the archetypes of Indian rural existence. Shakti (Anil Kapoor) is an educated son of a landowner who returns to his village. Due to his education and city girlfriend, Shakti wishes to turn his back on the village and set up shop in the city. Because of unforeseen and unexpected events, Shakti becomes entwined in the affairs of the village -- caught in the bonds of duty owed to his village and aging father. Virasat is about ancient archetypes -- symbolism borrowed heavily from the Mahabharata. His arch-enemy -- and the cause of anarchy in the village is his cousin (an allusion to the Kauravs and Pandavas of the Mahabharat). The Mahabharat analogy is extended into the Gita -- as it becomes obvious that Shakti's dharm or divine duty is in the destruction of adharm -- as manifested/substantiated in the corporeal by his uncles family.
