A Genuine and Honest Review of the Bhrashtachar Movie
The film Bhrashtachar, which starred Rekha, Mithunda, and Rajinikanth, was the start of Ramesh Sippy’s downfall, and all of his subsequent films were critical and commercial flops.
The plot, with its many characters, would be better suited to a TV series, as Manohar Shyam Joshi was known for. For Ramesh Sippy, he wrote the hugely successful Buniyaad.
However, the sluggish plot about corruption didn’t exactly fit the film’s framework. The music of Laxmikant Pyarelal was depressing, and Bhrashtachar was crammed with pointless songs.
Rekha and Mithun gave it their all as usual, but there was no chemistry between them this time.
Played by Anupam Kher, Purshottam, was practically a carbon copy of his Arjun role from 1985.
Abhinav Chaturvedi (Nanne from Buniyaad) and Shilpa Shirodkar were squandered. Aamir Khan was contacted about Abhinav’s role, but he turned it down.
Rajini Sir made a surprise appearance as Abdul Sattar, a beneficent don who smokes even in court. When the judge chastises him, Rajini points out that he hasn’t yet lit the cigarette.
Bhrashtachar is most known for a cringe-worthy rape scene starring debutant Shilpa Shirodkar as a blind girl kidnapped and violently raped by politician Anupam Kher.
The intricate tableau, which was painted with several mirrors, left little to the imagination, and it was the second such frightening moment, following Zeenat Aman’s Insaf Ka Tarazu (1980).
Conclusion
Overall, Ramesh Sippy’s film is unimpressive, yet his direction is as good as ever in Bhrashtachar.
