political film, it's a slow moving film so you should be patient to let the film unravel. The film starts when ash comes to india to propose a power plant offer in maharastra. She goes it will bring in alot of profit and will power the whole village but the only disadvantage is that it's buliding will render a mass amount of people homeless. Big B didn't like this offer, so after a convincing by his son, he agrees to it. Then came the hard part for ash and abhi to convince the public to this idea, big people starting getting involved who didn't like this idea. The next minute abhishek gets snipered and dies in hospital, sarkar gets angry and the film ends with ash taking abhi's place in sarkar's home. Was it all a fix???

It is proved yet again that a good script translates into a good movie.
The end- though extremely unconvincing- just reiterates that there can only be one Godfather or Sarkar and only the fittest survives.

You can't just rely on Stars and their performances and some powerful dialogues to make a successful small budget film like Sarkar Raj.
Any movie that has in it Amitabh Bachchan as one of the lead characters is good enough to make most Indians notice and look out for the much awaited reviews.

Sarkar Raj had a very strong and committed ending.
Also, the returns of the film, financially, are extremely good.
So these were some interesting moments.
Amitabh Bachchan has always been perceived as a modest person.

Bollywood mega superstar Amitabh Bachchan has expressed pained surprise at the contradictory reviews his latest film Sarkar Raj has elicited.
Of late though I find a greater openness, a willingness to criticise and a desire to counter an opinion or stand taken by another in the fraternity," the Bachchan wrote.
