First of all..I begin by saying that I AM A HUGE FAN OG "THE GODFATHER"-Novel. But Sarkar is not a complete adaptation of Gofather. Only the basic undercurrent of a mafia Don has been taken from it. I feel Sarkar... Full review

Sarkar is a good movie by any standard. It portrays a fictitious do-gooder who is a messiah to the down-trodden. In the Indian context where the rule of law is but a mockery of its own self, Sarkar (played by... Full review

Its not easy to choose a subject rather a film that has been made in almost all languages and by everyone who calls himself a director. Still, Ram Gopal Varma (RGV) has chosen it and has made the best Indian... Full review

Ram Gopal Verma has not intended to actually remake "The Godfather". Its his tribute to the original great story & subsequent adaptation for Indian audiences. Hence, if one thinks that Sarkar is an Indian remake of Coppola's "The Godfather" he... Full review

Do not expect the extra ordinary. The problem with the film , in the final analysis, is that it is too predictable and filled with too many clichés. Good if not over done performance. The narrative is predictable. ... Full Review

But eventually, it is the structure of the film that succeeds above all else. But like his father, he has the welfare of Maharashtra at his heart and is hell bent on giving his state the multi-national power project which the NRI business executive (Aishwarya Bachchan) would like to set up in India. ...

Story wise 'Sarkar' is quite simple as it is about a man who does his best for the 'junta'. The way Sarkar rebukes him and then warns him in quick succession is a brilliantly executed sequence. And this is where the beauty in the screenplay lies! ... Full Review

After convincing Sarkar [Amitabh Bachchan], who is against it for various reasons, Shankar undertakes a journey along with Anita to the villages of Maharashtra to mobilize support from the masses. What impresses even more is the set of character artists who are terrific and just apt be it- Ravi Kale, Dilip Prabhawalkar, Sayaji Shinde  and Supriya Pathak. ... Full Review
