Godfather - The legend Continues

Another good Indo-Pak movie which is a big hit in Pakistan and now a days is showing in UK cinemas. Bhatti, who has financed and acted in the film Godfather, The Legend Continues, claims to be a hotelier — a partner in Hotel Ramada Inn in Dubai. Aslam Bhatti, an alleged gold and drugs smuggler from Pakistan, is based in Dubai.

The film has a huge star cast from India, Pakistan, Bulgaria and Dubai. Bhatti is playing a negative role in the film and has been given the look of a don.
The film stars Vinod Khanna, Arbaaz Khan, Hrishita Bhatt, Nafisa Ali, Preeti Jhangiani, Amrita Arora. Kim Sharma has done an item number in the film.
Stalwarts from Pakistan like Shafquat Chima, Ajab Gul and Mehmood Akhtar represent the Pakistani film industry.

Here is the synopsis of the film
A thriller focusing on the rise of a group of influential and powerful gangsters.
Ali is a shepherd who has shouldered responsibility of fending for his family, including his parents Farid and Faatima, and his younger sister Nahid. One fateful day he ends up saving Abdullah Khan's (the underworld gangster) life.
As a result, Abdullah's rival, Khalid eliminates Ali's family brutally. A repentant Abdullah adopts Ali and Nahid. Abdullah's wife, Salima Begum, welcomes Ali and Nahid whole-heartedly.
But these youngsters are resented by Shaakir, Abdullah's son, who feels that Ali is getting more attention and love than him. Meanwhile, Ali soon realises that power is everything in this world and so joins Abdullah in his business.
Under the love and care of Abdullah he grows to be a heroic but feared force. He may be ruthless in his dealings but always has great compassion.
As Ali becomes the new face of Abdullah Khan's vast empire and a champion of the needy, Shaakir becomes more resentful. When Abdullah announces Ali as his heir, Shaakir becomes furious. The conflict between father and son results in Abdullah's death.
As the shattered family comes to terms with their loss, an angry Ali warns Shaakir to leave the country. What follows next is a gripping and fast paced thriller of emotions - love, honesty, loyalty, betrayal - with twists and turns till the final scenes.
