Vidyut Jammwal in The Power (2021) | Galani Entertainments/Pen Studios
It’s heartening to know that the nearly half a century after Francis Ford Coppola’s
The Godfather, the Hollywood crime drama continues to inspire Hindi filmmakers. Mahesh Manjrekar’s
The Power borrows most of its plot points from Coppola’s inter-generational drama, but throws in an extra angle to distinguish itself – a feud between lovers.
Devi (Vidyut Jammwal) and Parveen (Shruti Haasan) are the verge of converting romantic banter into wedding vows. Devi is this movie’s Michael Corleone – he is all set for a career as a chef in Singapore, far from the underworld over which his father Kalidas (Mahesh Manjrekar) rules.
