So how does Amal Neerad’s version, which thanks Mario Puzo, Ram Gopal Varma, Veda Vyasa and few others in the opening credits, fare? Brilliantly, I must add. Amal and writer Devadath Shaji impart Bheeshma Parvam with its own identity irrespective of its evident influences. Aside from having a string-pulling patriarch with a large family —some members adopted—at its centre, Bheeshma Parvam becomes its own beast later on. Michael is not Vito Corleone. Yes, they both share a criminal past and similar business establishments (grocery/supermarket; olive oil/automobile fuel), but Vito wouldn’t prefer to swing swords in an underground car parking lot. And Mammootty is not doing Marlo Brando. He is doing himself in a way that I wished to see on screen for a long time.
