Sarkar Raj is widely believed to be the make or break film for Ram Gopal Varma, director of the epic disaster Aag (remake of Sholay). But one must not forget the unforgettable classics like Satya, Company, Rangeela and Sarkar that RGV has delivered over the years. Back to Sarkar Raj, the expectations are high for several reasons.
- The Bachchans - Amitabh, Abhishek and Aishwarya - share screen space for the first time since the much celebrated Ash - Abhishek wedding last year.
- Sequel to the 2005 blockbuster Sarkar, which was critically acclaimed too.
- Ram Gopal Varma is a master in this genre.
So does Sarkar Raj manage to live upto expections?
Sarkar Raj Story
Anita Ranjan (Aishwarya Rai) Chief Executive Officer of the International company, Sheppard Power Plant presents a power plant project before Sarkar, which is to be setup in rural Maharastra. Sarkar disapproves the projects as the land chosen is home to over 40,000 villagers. Shankar Nagre (Abhishek Bachchan) is quick to realize all the benefits the power plant can bring to the people of Maharastra and to the growth of the state.
Shankar convinces Sarkar and embarks on a journey with Anita to the villages of Maharastra to muster public support. But things take a new turn. The controversial project leads to a political minefield. The evil forces gang up to bring down the Sarkar legacy and displace Shankar.
Sarkar Raj Review
With a powerful but not-without-its-share-of-flaws script, Ram Gopal Varma proves yet again, that he is a master at this genre of film making. His execution of the script is praise-worthy. Basically what works for Sarkar Raj is the performances, direction and the twists and turns. Some sequences just hit you hard, the unexpected happens. The second half takes the movie to a different level, its powerful its got a lot of shock value attached to it and the climax is thrilling. Background score is fantastic, the chants of “Govinda Govinda” in the background adds to the overall thrill. The cinematography (Amit Roy) is top notch. The close-up shots, in abundance throughout the movie, have been captured and performed well. The editing is crisp and brilliant.
A few scenes that make an impact.
- Abhishek about to touch Dilip Prabhawalkar’s feet, but is stopped.
- The sequences that follow just when Abhishek accepts Aishwarya’s love for him.
- When Ash asks Abhishek about his life’s most difficult decision.
- The climax. Outstanding!
But Sarkar Raj is not without its share of flaws, more in the script than the execution. (Spoiler Warning). The love-angle between Aishwarya and Abhishek isn’t convincing. More so when its barely days since the tragic death of Abhishek’s wife Tanisha, who is expecting a kid. Aishwarya’s character too is under developed and unconvincing.
Coming to the performances of Sarkar Raj, Abhishek Bachchan’s character demands intensity, but he looks more angry than intense. Overall a good performance nonetheless. Aishwarya Rai looks great, performs well throughout. Tanisha Mukherjee is decent in a small role. Dilip Prabhawalkar is excellent. Every other supporting character actor in Sarkar Raj is brilliant.
But then, one man outshines every other actor who shares screen space. His dialogue delivery and the intensity that he displays, just through his eyes, without uttering a word is mind blowing. No prizes for guessing. Sarkar Raj is Amitabh Bachchan’s show all the way. Truly truly a Legend!
Overall, Sarkar Raj is a great movie for the weekend. A worthy sequel to the brilliant Sarkar of 2005. At the box-office, the movie is sure to grow with strong word of mouth and should prove to be a winner in coming weeks.
Highly Recommended.

Saw the movie yesterday… after some flops this time RGV was able to deliver a good movie.Nicely acted by Bacchan trio.But One thing I was sad to see here that is There is a fight going on here between SRK fans and Amitabh fans, Hey guys believe me i was a diehard Amitabh fan till before 2 months, I thought that Amitabh was the best actor in India, But actually the best actor in India is MOHANLAL(AAg,Company) .I think he is the most flexible actor in india.Two months before i accidently came to see a tamil movie of him named IRUVAR ,Then only i realized the fact that Mohanlal is the Real king of Indian Cinema.After that i watched lots of his acting classics from Youtube,then only i realised the mistake.So SRK fans and Big B fans,Pls stop fighting here and support True Acting

Could u really show me a movie that was a block boster hit with only charisham of small B. He is nothing in acting. Whts his position after Big B????????????

Now, RGV is shining up again after doing 3 flops, by doing (Sarkar Raj) he proved that he’s an excellent director. I loved both, part 1 & 2. And from the way part2 ended, Aishwariya asks for a cup of tea, I could say that she’ll play the main roll in part 3, and that the grandchild will grow up ( and we can’t say who’ll be playing the roll) and will be the challenge between Aishwariya who’s designated to be Sarkar and the grandchild who’ll try to defeat her ( I’m just guessing, I wish it’d be this way)
Congratuations Mr. RGV and please, don’t repeat doing some crapy movies again. I loved Nishabd even if it didn’t do well at the box office, as it was a very convincing movie and based on some true stories, which happens in life.

Aishwarya was in a totally different element from jodha akbar and she rocked! Her expressions were electrifying! Abhishek finally gave a stunning performance ! I miss his great acting! But THUMBS UP TO AMITABH! He totally nailed this role, i still get chills remembering the final climax scene! Final verdict: the bachans rule bollywood!

I personally hated the movie. I don’t know what some people find in this movie to be great. Abhishek’s acting was monotonous and boring. There is no convincing storyline, everything is cobbled with poor cinematography, camera angles are really bad…. poor background music. I personally like all three actors but was’t impressed with the performance or the quality of the movie.

Its very very difficult to tell a story like this which is very complex.

What I don’t understand yet is the following: Why some audience - who love only comedy stupid movies - go to watch a movie like “Sarkar” which is very serious?! There’s no place in this kind of cinema for all audiences who never want to think and analyze.

RGV abuses his audience. He truly needs to go back to watching a few more Hollywood movies for his SO-CALLED INSPIRATION.
1. The background score was over used and it simply was played over and over again… killing the basic motive of background music.
2. Aishwarya Rai was a terrible addition to the film simply because her presence was not felt.
3. It took Abishekh 2 minutes to get over his dead wife & 2 month old unborn child. It is tragic to see RGV abuse a true gangster film by injecting a love plot at the wrong point.
4. Ash was not required to sit through the climax. She should have been shipped out when Abhishekh gets shot.
PLEASE DONOT ABUSE THE VIEWERS BY OVER USING OVER HYPED ACTORS & ACTRESSES. WE ARE NOT NAIVE TO IMMATURE FORMS OF ART.
Yes you can see I am very dissapointed. There was a good story there but a terrible execution.

When a man is sharing work with a woman who’s beautiful and single, and he’s either a widower or single, divorced, whatever, it’s natural that he’d fall in love with her.

MINDBLOWING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is the only word that comes to mind!!!
No matter what media says - in print or on tv, no matter what kind of reviews are written - in dailies, on the net or even in mags, no matter what kind of ‘people’s responses’ are shown on tv….. the movie is a hard-hitting slap on the face of people making ‘tamasha’ in the name of movies, on people seeing ‘nautanki’ in the name of films, on ‘reviewers’ writing craps in the disguise of writing reviews!
Fow quite some time now, I am seeing a totally partisan & biased approach against the Bachchans by those attached to media/news/papers/mags…. They think that they can impose their menial views on the broad mind of the public in general…. NO, FOOLS! YOU CANNOT!!! You cannot take one bit from the Bachchans! They are a breed totally different!
These reviewers/analysts/reporters can have the power of their medium with them, they can mis-use this platform to impose their two-bit minds on the general public, but they will NOT succeed!
Each of the three Bachchans, along with a host of other actors, have given a real stellar performance in SARKAR RAJ!
Hats off to all of you, guys!
This movie is what I call a movie with “substance”! It is not something with some oft-repeated naach-gana & some cheap nautanki…..
I think its high time Indian audience started appreciating CLASS and started rejecting CRASS…..

Would want to throw my 2 cents too… :)
1. Acting —> Superb, as expected. Everyone is casted very well.
2. Camera —> Trademark RGV…Very good angles…pretty much like the first part…nothing new…
2. Dialogues —> A little loud…Typical filmy…if you like them that way, great…You would enjoy them…Villains making strange faces and throwing a funda a minute about Raaj Neeti and Mohre and so on…
3. Story —> Again, typical filmy…’expected and inevitable’ twists…as you exepct, someone who wasn’t expected to be a villain turns to be one…
4. Background Music —> Clearly overboard…’Govinda Govinda’ was something new at the time of first part…now it’s irritating…it is used in almost every alternate scene… :)
Overall, don’t expect anything exceptional…it’s a typical Masala film…

I felt it was Abhishek’s movie for as long as he was on the screen… I couldn’t notice Big B in the same frame as well (which I felt was intentional from ramu)… which speaks volumes of how Chota B has grown… Abhi’s performance was excellent.. but agree with someone else here, who said his performance needs more intensity… like Big B or Al Pacino… but if there is someone who can do a Scarface in India, I believe it would be Abhi… but a little later in his career… after he can play a Vijay Chauhan like his dad… Dilip Prabhawalkar was fantastic too… however, being an out of the box thinker, I guessed part of ramu’s main secret in second scene itself… that didnt take away any of my interest from the movie, as dialogue by dialogue, ramu kept my mind engaged, and pulse racing.. and the sub plots and twists made me forget what i figured out in the beginning… that is until ramu put the missing peices of my puzzle together in the climax, which i watched in awe… it wouldn’t be too long for me to put them together, but he didnt allow me the time to think… with dialogues like…. kisi insaan ko marna gunah hain, kisi insaan ko sahi waqt par marna…? rajneeti… thats politics in a nutshell for u.. folks… hats off to ramu…..

Dear Kathrina Khan,
Forget about Zee news, Aaj TAk and our above comments, sometimes some people give 5 or 6 stars to the stupidest movies. If u love serious movies, politics then this movie would be a perfect one for u to watch, but u hv to watch part 1 first as Sarkar Raj is a sequal.

Power house film! The power is seen in every frame! Aishwarya though supporting role was outstanding! Best performance by an actress, amitabh was steller! Abishek took my heart away with his protrayal! Really amazing actor! The climax was simply sensational! 4/5 stars

The background score was simply over used and Aishwarya Rai was not required after abhishek was fought.
Bad movie

I expect it to be a good movie ‘coz I haven’t seen it yet. I hope ram gopal verma won’t dissappoint me and the other audience after ‘aag’.

I don’t think its a good movie, in fact, I feel its a bad movie and just a waste of time and money. Its just black and blue all over. Aish is just a usless character in the movie. In short, ‘I simply HATED it.’

The story was good but the concept was bad. My hopes were just shattered after I saw this movie. It was a BAD one

Rajesh: We r grown enough to judge any good movie. If Sarkar Raj is the worst, then tell me, which movie u do consider it as a good, very good, excellent?? List them down and let’s see if you’re good enough to distiguish a good from bad.

This movie will be remembered for performances but we can not compare it to Sarkar, the earlier version of Ramu as it was having a strict screenplay however, Sarkar Raj lacks content, the one liner has been deliberately dragged till end and that is also without solution. It is stodgy to see a CEO of an such a so called big company falls in love of a so called Gunda, Aish forgets about her power plant and shown to be always with Abhishek, the point, the power plant development progress is not shown in the movie, also climax is not convincing, Aish seems to be taking charge of what Abhisehk has left behind, I think, we are going to see KK back in the next sequel with Aish having tough competition from him but kudos to Amitabh Bachchan for his performance and Abhishek seems to be maturing as an actor.

i just saw this movie today! absolutely brilliant! after seeing it- its left a lasting impact, i know it going to be hard to forget about it and get some sleep, thats why im on here at midnight thinking about it!
brilliant performances, great story, gripping , tragic . etc.
as far as acting goes my favourite seen is where abhishek is shot, after ash and abhishek accept eachothers love, i could not believe the performance ash has given - fantastic. her devastation just excels. she manages to pull something special out of the bag in every movie!
amitabh and abhishek are both acting kings in this movie, the special bond they share, and the relationship between the bachchan trio again excels!
loved the ending! look forward to the third 1!
well done to ram gopal varma and evry1 involved in the movie i say!:)

I don’t get it towards the end he gives this old sentimental speech to abishaik (the photo) about losing everyone some chithu and someone else and then just after that asks his wife to call the one and bring the other fro london (i thoght they were dead) and is ash pat of the conspiracy her last words “bring one cup tea” and that look please explain, terribly confused was AB part of this too????

i’ve copied an printed what http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sarkar_Raj says about it : its the last paragraph in the PLOT :
“Subhash is shown lamenting that his son had to pay the price of his actions. He goes and sits on his son’s desk, symbolizing that he has reclaimed the title of ‘Sarkar’ himself after Shankar’s death. He calls out to his wife Pushpa and tells her to call his daughter-in-law Amrita (the wife of Vishnu Nagre, played by Rukhsar in the prequel Sarkar) and tell her to send his grandson Chiku from the city of Nagpur to their house in Mumbai. This is probably to feature his training as a successor in a sequel. In the closing shots of the movie, Anita is shown at the Nagres’ residence doing some paperwork (most probably related to the power plant project). She casually and comfortably asks for a cup of tea, showing that she has integrated well into the Nagre family and that she is now an aide to Subhash.”
apparently hrithik will be playing chiku, and even though abhishek’s character has been killed off he will also act in the next one playing a ghost! hope that helps! :-)
