The Film Which Inspired Many ..

Come March 2022..A cult film completes 50 years and is being re-released.

GODFATHER

14th March 72 the movie Godfather was released and millions of people across the world even without google or WhatsApp or Insta or FB & without any hashtag, came to know about two terminologies which were relatively unknown i.e., Mafia & Don!! 

The impact of Godfather showed the movie industry it's true power as now we know, the success of a movie is not to be measured by  just money it makes on the box office but Godfather went beyond that & made us realise, real success of the movie is how much it make the masses to change their attitude towards the life!

Mafia is a taboo word and gangsters are the people you keep away from, no question of marrying them or being friends with them! If you don’t get justice for any crime that happened to you then the only way is you try higher courts or just keep mum, blaming your bad luck and weakness as a white collared person and that’s all!!

But Godfather changed all of this in mere three hours as now you know there is nothing such as total dark or black but every black has got shades of grey and even black can be good at times! Now you think that not all the gangsters are bad and even in the crime there are real bad crimes and lesser bad crimes and some are even good crimes; such as beating up the bad goons which are troubling innocent people and getting away from law as there are bad cops & corrupt judges which can be bought & you can actually get justice by indulging in to a crime which includes beating the bad goons by hired men who works for the Don!

Godfather has not only inspired thousands of movie makers across the world to change their thought process about the script and theme of the movies but it changed the mindset or say expectation or the purpose itself of billions of the movie watchers (read as aam janata) to watch the movie in the first place!! This is why Godfather is special as it has made such an offer to watch this movie that no one can resist it!!

Godfather has been adapted/Remade / copied / etc etc in Hindi Films and Regional films too.
