Its difficult to actually pinpoint what Ram Gopal Varma is trying to say in this film... but my guess would be he's adapting the Godfather, and I would also say that he did an impressive job with that! The Good: Francis... 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

Sarkar focused on the complexities of a powerful family, and was acclaimed for its unconventional, intense story, execution and performances.
They have the capability and the distribution network to take the film to its deserved potential.

But the film does deliver some surprises, and that's why it's much better, and tauter, than the first.
It wastes no time in any re-caps : just one brief scene flashes back to the previous film, where the dead elder son ( Kay Kay) is shown.

They have created a powerful and fantastic story, which is very different to his original sequel Sarkar.

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.

Frankly speaking, Sarkar was more gripping, but Sarkar Raj has more meat; its only that it hasnt been written quite convincingly.
However, the brilliant direction and superb performances by everybody keeps the viewers engrossed till the very end.
