It has all it takes to set new records.
SARKAR RAJ is an exceptional film in all respects. Amitabh Bachchan is as ferocious as a wounded tiger in the finale and takes the film to great heights. The father and son go neck to neck as far as acting honors go.
Sarkar Raj has great performances
In 2007 Ram Gopal Varma received more flak than what most people receive in a lifetime. RGV Ki Aag, Go, Nishabd, it seems the man could do nothing right. And industry insiders and critics were busy writing him off as a has-been. But RGV in the tradition of a true survivor has returned to prove his worth. Sarkar Raj may not set the box-office on fire but RGV is back in the running for now.
A must watch
These are small glitches that you overlook as you look at the larger picture on screen and are easily forgiving to the director who finishes off the proceedings with finesse. The dialogues, the one-liners, are awesome. To my mind, RGV is the real star of the film.
Intense political drama
The casting is just as good as it was in the first movie (though you miss KK's raw energy) and the support actors are top notch. Of course, any movie with the Big B in it will ultimately be about the Big B. He is explosive at the end and will earn a few brownie points from the fans of the political leader whom he emulates.
Review for Sarkar Raj
With Sarkar, Ram Gopal Varma had precisely established the central characters, set the ambience, defined the aura and demarcated the genre. So in the follow-up he simply had to take the legend ahead while narrating a new episode. And to a decent degree he succeeds in carrying the legacy forward.
