Mario Puzo must be turning in his grave for Riyasat is a pointless adaptation of his classic. While RGV's version had 'Sarkar' played by Amitabh Bachchan, Riyasat's ethical Godfather is an ageing Saheb (Rajesh Khanna), who rules the underworld but helps the poor by guaranteeing them money, safety and justice. If you are planning to watch this film solely for Rajesh Khanna, don't. He looks unwell, can barely speak and thus seems to have been given very few dialogues. He avoids eye contact with co-stars and the camera. Loud music is played in the background every time he appears onscreen in order to make things intense but that fails. Since he looks totally detached and disinterested in the film, you wonder why he did it in the first place.
