Before RGV made Sarkar in 2005, there was another remake of the Hollywood classic Godfather. Sapoot starred the 2 macho action heroes of 90s after hits like Waqt Hamara Hai(1993),Mohra(1994) and flop like Hum Hai Bemisaal in the same year. in this film Kader Khan plays The Godfather inspired numero uno DON who has 2 sons Akshay and Suneil, Mix in that bollywood masala, some nonsense comedy, villains and voila you have a bollywood action film ready.
The film directed by Jagdish Sharma has all ingredients to woo the single screens audiences of that time, The film was however only an above average at the Box Office.
Direction is decent Music is okay, Mumbai Liyo track was a hit rest are okay
Akshay Kumar who was dubbed a wooden actor in those days, gives an okay performance, he was very raw those days and tried too hard as an actor, his stunts were his saving grace Suneil Shetty too falls in the same bracket, he does his role quite well though except in scenes where he has to shout Karisma and Sonali fit in as the heroines Kader Khan is good in his part, Prem Chopra, Mukesh Rishi are as usual Johny Lever does quite a good job as the mentally challenged guy for a change he does something different

Godfather remade in Hindi
Masala film but little phattu!
Sapoot - again , a 3 hour masala flick of the 90's, and with a strong pair of those days - Akshay and Suniel Shetty.
Story is about the 2 sons of a golden-hearted ganglord who have to fight against their enemies and face many obstacles to achieve their goals.
The good - Some action sequences,the climax, some dialogues, the music.
The bad- Some phattu scenes (you watch and see),some unnecessary song sequences, some overacting, directorial goofs.
Can be watched, but only if you have the patience to sit for 3 hours for this. I did!
What daredevil stunts
You ought to watch the movie for the last 15 mins of stunts akshay carries out by himself.
Doing all those stunts himself.
Its a typical bollywood movie and truly a watchable one, esp now. Reminiscing of how the 90s had been.
I have the stars spiked up just for Akshay kumarz extremely dangerous stunts.
