Family Movie with strong dramatisation !

A family drama, where all characters appealing to real lives of people. It's a family where there is an ideal father, a loving and caring mother, an obedient son, two decent daughters, a responsible uncle and lastly the greedy son in law. As you could imagine by now, who is the villain and opposite of that the obedient son stands as the hero. The son in law is the trouboe maker in the film succeeds in creating misunderstandings in the family and earns a huge but non lasting fortune through betrayal. The film ends in the undoing of his wrong deed.There are many strong plotholes in the movie, not on the contents and performance but in presentations. The performances are supposedly the bright part of the film esp Big B and Akshay. The narration style is average though. The spirit of the movie is retained by the performances including Ashish Vidyarthi and Shakti Kapoor is good to watch in positive role. But the continuous BGM makes the film annoying instead of turning it emotional. Sometimes emotions also feel impractical.Few flaws like ---- Father and Son misunderstand as if they are strangers. And that too in front of others. Its unreal, immatured and dramatised heavily. Akshay was quarreling with the villain while his pregnant wife is in hospital, which seems very filmy and impractical as the protagony. (3)The management of money was an important point, but is loosely shown. Sentiments regarding it is shown instead. (4)The apologies of the antagonist is so readily accepted with no strong reciprocation. (5) Strong dramatisation of lead characters made many of the situations flawed. And so on ........ On average it would be a 53/100.

Not a great film but watchable enough thanks to the songs and some of the performances

Sunil Darshan's Ek Rishtaa presents the ultimate big wealthy Indian family with all its ups and downs and their struggle in times of happiness and in times of hardship, The movie is quite watchable for the most part but its execution is at times overdone although it's more realistic and not as melodramatic as that same year's Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gham, which dealt with a similar subject, though the latter is definitely a better film. Just like K3G, Ek Rishtaa is primarily centred around the relationship of a father and his eldest son, their conflict of minds, resulting dispute and ultimate reconcilement, only that here the problems begin more because of conspiracies and misunderstandings. The movie shows how domestic peace is destroyed with the entrance of new members into the family, but the better part of the film shows how the family reunites and everything is settled when turbulent times of crisis seem so disruptive that they bring them together before it's too late. Some of the film's dialogues are very good but some are very theatrical and the same can be said about the proceedings.Two of the biggest pluses of the movie are the music, composed by Nadeem-Shravan, and the multi-starred cast. My favourite songs in the movie are "Mohabbat Ne Mohabbat Ko" and "Ek Dil Hai" which are melodious and beautifully shot. Where acting goes, Amitabh Bachchan is excellent as the proud father, and Raakhee does very well as his supportive wife in a role that finally does not require her to lose her mental sanity. Akshay Kumar gets a very good role and he plays it with evident dedication and sincerity. I never saw him taking a role so seriously and he is very good in many parts, though sometimes he is a bit let down by the script. Karisma Kapoor is okay but in some scenes she totally overacts. The scenes in which she asks her husband not to return home was quite ridiculous because I could not see the logic behind them. Juhi Chawla is generally credible but I really wondered why a woman would remain with a husband who destroyed her family. Mohnish Bahl is average in a negative role and the rest of the cast are mostly so-so.All in all, Ek Rishtaa is a generally watchable movie despite its flaws. It is nowhere a great film, and its depiction makes it look rather dated and reminiscent of those family films of the 1960, but I recommend you to watch it for the songs, for some of the performances, particularly Bachchan and Kumar's working chemistry, and for its message which conveys the importance of unity and togetherness. This movie, along with Jaanwar, is the best of Sunil Darshan, who is otherwise known for his abysmal movies.

Okay movie

I saw this movie today.I must say this is bearable and okay.Story is good.It tells about Kapoor family who has 3 girls and 1 son.One day Vijay comes across Rajesh.What he does not knows that Rajesh wants to capture his wealth and for that he marries his daughter.Then a problem occurs in his company.He screams at his son.His son leaves him.Then Rajesh captures hiss wealth.He closes his company.He is sick.Then his son returns.A good story.The very handsome Mohnish Behl who plays Rajesh overacts miserably.Karishma who looks gorgeous as ever in the movie gives an annoying performance in an unusual character.Juhi looks very pretty in this movie and is strictly OK here.The other 2 are okay also.Rakhee who looks good in the movie is wasted.Aashish is OK too.The movie belongs To Akshay and Amtabh who give great performances.The bond was beautiful.Their performances were more deserving than Shah Rukh Khan in K3G.Aamir in Lagaan or Amtabh in K3G.Their acting was the best of that year.Shakti Kapor was irritating.The music by Nadeem Shravan is good and catchy and not to forget melodious.Watch this for the Amtabh and Akshay who give great performances Rating-5/10
