          Classic movie on politics

          This is one of the best movie on politics in Marathi. I am not comparing with hindi because hindi movies based on politics are nowhere as compare to regional languages movies . Actually it deserves 10+

          Gripping realistic tale of 1980s politics in Maharashtra as well as India

          As pointed out by another reviewer, it really is a gem of a movie. While Bollywood was waking up to the genre of hard-hitting political films, this film comes out trumping all of them, as well as the rest of the Marathi movies. The cinematography, music, dialogues and the closely-knit story having an array of strong realistic characters, portrayed by the most gifted Marathi actors who were fledglings at that time-Mohan Agashe, Nana Patekar and some others as well as the senior ones-Arun Naik, Dr. Shreeram Lagoo complete this compelling and tragic portrayal of the political scenario.

          It amazes me how the film entrains so many themes-coalition governments and resulting instability, trade union strikes, new- found socialism for governments of the day, the degrading morality among people, dalit atrocities, urbanisation problems faced in Mumbai, etc. and still manages to spin a truly moving tale.

          This movie is a must-watch for anyone who intends to understand India and its political equations.

          Hard-hitting tale of political corruption

          Simhasan ("throne") was a gem of a movie set in the seventies in Maharashtra, against the backdrop of a political struggle for Chief Ministership. The story is told through the eyes of a journalist who witnesses the now-cliche nexus between politicians and criminals. The black-and-white treatment made the realism even more believable. The dialog was also very realistic: famous line: aamchya maage adusashta ahet, adusashta -- sixty-eight!

          Realistic even after 40 years

          Every party picks some issues to form their government. Even get succeed in making government. After the 5 years period the issues and problems remain same in the society.

          These problems, issues are common everywhere in the world. In every country unemployment, malnutrition, overpopulation, waste management and inflation etc are found.

          Every government price to show that they are doing this situations must better but at the end of the year period s for the more time government parties other with changing but these are the constant problems.

          Hierarchy of the caste is also very important in the government system.

          Some cunning smart and selfish people only can survive the race of making the government. By hook or by crook.

          All time classic

          The movie movie offers the best story and brilliant actors. This is one of my all time favorite. The story revolves around Indian politics and its effect on common man.
