Kalyug

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)

This is India's greatest epic 'Mahabharata' adapted to the 'age of machines' (kalyug). Each character and situation is so well adapted and given a modern twist that if you didn't know you will appreciate the movie it as an intense modern drama.

The story of Kauravas, Pandavas and their epic battle has been brilliantly adapted to Business Rivalry of two families who like Kauravas and Pandavas are related as well. Karna dying at his wheels, Abhimanyu dying in the chakravuha, Krishna, Bhishma and his quandary, Draupadi vastra-haran everything is there albeit you will have to identify them yourself.

Excellent direction by Shayam Benegal and excellent performances by Shashi Kapoor, Victor Bannerjee, Anant Nag, Rekha, AK Hangal and Supriya Pathak.

Definitely one of the finest movies ever made in India.

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.

I had watched this movies 20 years ago and wanted to see it again. Still potent and impacting. For those who don't watch Bollywood due its loud and cheesy products, there is a parallel line of movies which will blow your mind. Especially if you don't know storylines of Mahabharat this may seem new. Presentation of the movie is at par with its subject. The only downside: print on Youtube is less than acceptable and I don't know if there are other options. No subs either :( Some relationships in the movie were left open-ended, which I like very much, but make be a reason for t Love Shashi Kapoor in this one. Rekha could have had more. Anant Nag was awesome!

This is a good art film. Referenced from mythology, even names of the characters refer to the ancient times. Set in modern times its a conflict of personalities & emotions between two industrialist families.

The director is well know for his narrative style this ones no exception.

No song and dance here as well as no bollywood style gunfights. A nice intellectual film overall. If you like dance , music & action , this ones not for you.If you'd like to see the hero Karan (Shashi Kapoor) in fun loving films, check out "Do aur do paanch or Namak Halaal"
