Nonureva Really Surprised!
Skunkyrate Gripping story with well-crafted characters
Whitech It is not only a funny movie, but it allows a great amount of joy for anyone who watches it.
Roxie The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;
Karthik Ananth The Cast consists of all the Bachchans (except for Jaya Bacchan whom RGV couldn't fit in with an appropriate mafia role) After the agony and widespread damage caused by Ram Gopal Varrma's AAG, people wanted to see whether RGV and the Big B can resurrect themselves. Plus this movie was a sequel to 2005's Sarkar which was RGV's tribute to 'The Godfather'To make sequels in Bollywood has always been a very tricky issue as the comparisons are too critical in nature with the first part.Lage Raho Munnabhai was probably the first Big Hindi movie which became a major success when compared to its prequel...If any of you guys thought that Sarkar Raj was based on another one of the Godfather series, well then you are grossly mistaken! Writers Prashant Pandey and Ram Gopal Varma have come up with a fresh,new and brilliant plot to assure the audience of 125 entertaining minutes....I don't believe in blogging movie spoilers, so i'll be as vague as possible....cause this movie is a must see!!The movie mainly revolves around three characters ( The Bachchan Arena) Subash Nagre (Big B), Shankar Nagre (Abishek) and Anita Rajan (Aishwarya Rai)...Subash has full faith in his son Shankar though he finds it difficult to deal with the fact that its Shankar who is the actual 'Sarkar'...Shankar wants what is best for Maharashtra and Anita Rajan steps in from London as a CEO of Sheperd group...her aim is to make India's largest power plant. Anita realizes Maharashtra as a potential site.Even though Subhas is against the proposition, Shankar strongly believes it is for the state's betterment and he decides to support Anita and her project no matter what stands in their way...When so many crores of rupees are at stake, the plant project becomes a battleground for dirty politics, deceit and corruption.I do not wish to disclose any more facts of the movie !!u should see it.....The villains are convincing and the supporting cast has small roles with clearly defined characters....The 3 Bachchans have given subtle yet strong performances and it is difficult to see who is the real Sarkar amongst them....The Dialogues of the movie are powerful and crisp and act as the real Forte of the movie...The background score is impressive though the 'Govinda Govinda' chantings do tend to get annoyingly over used!!RGV gets full marks for his direction...the editing is perfect as well.....even though there are no song and dance sequences the movie doesn't bore you one bit...The movie is self explanatory and one need not have seen Sarkar to follow Sarkar Raj...thats another plus point...The action scenes are spectacular and more importantly 'Very Realistic'!!! RGV clearly demonstrates that the Bullet penetrates both- the Hero and the Villain.The first half is kinda slow but RGV constructs a proper platform to carry the movie further with ease...the second half is totally gripping and moves at a fairly quick pace...No matter what happens don't miss the 2nd half...especially the part where the suspense of the entire plot will be revealed by Subhas Nagre....thats an amazing scene that will take all by surprise!!Overall, a brilliant movie which i totally enjoyed !!!VERDICT: Sarkar Raj - will extinguish the agony caused by RGV's AAG!!! A must see!!!FOR MORE REVIEWS ON MOVIES AND MUSIC ALBUMS PLEASE VISIT MY BLOG http://themusicandmoviezone.blogspot.com/
silvan-desouza RGV seems to have cashed on the sequel lane and he too made a sequel of his SARKARAfter RGV KI AARGGGG he tries a film so one awaits to see what he will do Sadly the film seems another RGV Film like AAG With too many randomly used different camera angles, loud background scores.etc The script too seems puzzling, the quiet and cool Sarkar of the original is made to give lectures here The scenes are so boring with the same pauses between dialogs like in RGV films which are boring now The Amitabh- Abhishek relationship isn't handled well and seems confusing too The latter part of the film is better but by then it's already passed sleeping timeRGV needs to try something different, his work here is the same like his previous films Music and background score is bizarreAmitabh does well in his badly written role Abhishek seems lost and confused in the film and wears a bored look Aishwarya doesn't have an important role and her role seems like a addition just to cash on the Bachchan family But she is good Upendra Limaye and Victor Banerjee are good Dilip Prabhavalkar is excellent
rkris2004 This movie belongs to the "Not for export !" category. What a piece of unadulterated crap !!. If this is what passes for movie making in Bollywood, I wish they get into the porno business. This way all the movies will be tax-free since Govt of India really loves import substitution. As for the Bacchan family, I guess you have made enough money. Why don't you folks just pack up and leave ? If I see anymore closeups of you two, I am going to loose it. I bet that retard "Kim Jong-il" can make a better movie. You think making scary serious faces at the camera is all it takes !!! Why don't you get a bunch of constipated people squeezing it out in the loo to star in your next excuse for a movie ?
krishnaprasad31 Not a bad movie at all. RGV had done a pretty decent job here. So did the Bachan's. The mood of the movie is pretty cool. The scrip had good intentions. Overall, a pretty decent watch. Now, to the negatives. Well, too much narrative!!!.. RGV and the script fails to give the pleasure of the plot discovery to the viewer. Must admit, it was a pretty admirable plot (not a classic though), but towards the climax, it had to spoon fed to the audience by the big Bachan with a 5 min or so monologue. The movie would have been a real good one if the viewer was let to discover the plot with some clues or finish the movie without the explanations, or even reveal it with a Shymalan style last second enlightenment.
