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

bobbysing A huge sea of expectations was on high tides before the release of "Sarkar Raj" and many RGV fans were sure of a grand comeback by the master film-maker. But I had my doubts with me as I entered the cinema.Sometimes a period of lazy creativeness is seen in the works of the masters. I noticed this kind of phase in the life span of many creative geniuses who made some not so good movies in the middle of their careers. And later came back with some greater masterpieces even better than their first ones. As I see it RGV also seems to be going through that phase in his life. He is no doubt a self-made genius of his own kind but sadly couldn't make an impressive comeback with Sarkar Raj.The movie is dark, slow and the only knock out moment in the movie is in the last 20 minutes as the mystery unfolds and the real culprit comes out of the curtain. What I found most displeasing in the movie is the overuse of innovative camera angles and the excess of dark lighting in the whole movie. The subject no doubt needed this kind of treatment but it goes over the limits as you watch this sequel of Sarkar. It's an intense crime drama with powerful performances but unfortunately the script is not able to entertain the viewers with its content.The story is quite predictable from the very first scene and therefore the viewer keeps waiting for something new on the screen, which only comes in the climax. Surely the first attempt by RGV was much better than this. Sarkar Raj lacks the grip and is not able to entertain enough. Though technically and creatively its superb, but that's not what the majority of people are paying for.Performance wise two people top the list, Amitabh Bachhan (though he has less scenes this time) and Dilip Prabhawalkar. Their scenes together are superbly shot and RGV genius shows in these few moments. In fact these are the only worth watching scenes in the movie not to be missed at any cost. Truly speaking Amitabh is the only active actor who could do justice to the character of the GODFATHER and he lives his part fantastically. The last scenes of the movie show his inimitable class and equally competent is Dilip Prabhawalkar in their confrontation scene.The rest of the cast is just fine. Abhishek looks intense in his silence and Aishwarya looks sober. The sad point is that apart from Amitabh and Dilip no one else adds anything to the movie. Everyone else is just enacting their parts and only these two characters stand tall. The part of an unknown killer was very childish to use by a man of high standards named RGV.Musically, Sarkar Raj is many steps behind the original Sarkar. You don't remember any chants walking out of the cinema and also the background music is not able to grab attention.The audience in the cinema was quite restless while watching it as they all were expecting much better stuff from Ram Gopal Verma.The movie is not as expected but it has its moments not to be missed which have the stamp of a master film-maker. But the conclusion is that RGV needs to get over his trademarks and has to reinvent himself urgently.May be his next film on one of his favorite topic, Phoonk (Based on Black Magic) gives us our good old RGV back in form.

sashank_kini-1 I reluctantly went along with my dad for this movie. Don't get me wrong. I liked the first part a lot. It was a gripping, spine-chilling movie by RGV. But after that, he has made a number of debacles such as RGv ki AAG, Go and the list goes on and on. After the film got over, I was satisfied. No, I don't mean satisfied with the film. I mean satisfied that it got over. It wasn't the best sequel nor very good. It just managed to level the bar. Sarkar Raj has its good points and its bad ones.Good: 1) Amitabh Bachchan has acted wonderfully. I thought that his dialogs could've been a bit shorter ( sometimes, his monologues get too monotonous). But he hasn't lost his charm, and has mesmerized me in some of the scenes.2) Abhishek does a good job, in parts of the film.3) Some of the killings are brutal, especially when one of the character shoots the other. I kept looking at the gun and so just went back for a second as the gun fired.4) Aishwaria was good in the emotional scenes. She should stick to movies like Joddha Akbar etc.Bad: 1) The person who played Somji barked, barked and kept barking. Please shut up for a moment. You do not have to shout all the time to show that you are a good actor. I was glad when he sobered down.2) As I mentioned above, the dialogs could be shortened. I was literally fidgeting and twitching myself during the conversation towards the end between Amitabh and Aishwaria.3) Many of the conversations had the same camera effects and background music but unlike the first part, it did not cast the same effect. I was so irked off by hearing the tired chant 'Govinda' and the sudden shriek of a female 'Govindaaaa!' whenever Abhishek entered.4) Aishwaria fumbles in some of the dialogs and scenes trying to portray the rough and tough business woman.5) The story line isn't very interesting, especially towards the end, when Amitabh tells that the power plant plant was to actually bring down Sarkar. What the ....! And showing Aishwaria's father as a part of the plan to kill Sarkar was dumb. And how did Sarkar's men go international, killing his father somewhere out of the country? His power was just over Mumbai.6) And finally, why the heck did they show that the contract killer who killed Abhishek was just another unknown guy? I mean, they hid his face for some silly reason, so that we think he is a person from inside. Then we realize that he is just another bad guy!It was a good sequel, but nothing magnificent. 6 out of 10.

Raj Doctor I had the opportunity to see this movie – First day first show, but I did not go. This was a blessing in disguise, because the one week of delay gave me the opportunity to observe the battle of words and review debate - for and against Sarkar Raj. I have read most of the review available on the net – Amitabh comments on his blog and Ram Gopal Varma attempting interesting, funny and humorous reviews on film critics – everything was on my plate to relish. With all memories of positive and negative reviews in front of me I went to see Sarkar Raj after a week.Sarkar Raj plot goes ahead from where it ends in Sarkar – Anita Rajan (Aishwarya Rai), daughter of UK based business man Mike Rajan (Victor Bannerjee) comes to Maharashtra to start an electricity generation power plant; for which they need to vacate villages and 40,000 people. They approach Nagare family – Sarkar Subhash Nagre (Amitabh Bachchan) and Shankar Nagre (Abhishek Bachchan) for approval. Shankar takes on himself as a mission to help Anita build the power plant, but gets caught in the dirty game of power politics. The results are devastating for Nagre family, and Sarkar has to enter the centre stage of power politics to resolve the mess.The movie is not as bad as some reviewers are dismissing it; nor it is as great as some Bachchan fans are garlanding it with. For me, it is a good movie but not as good as Sarkar – the part one. Part two does not have any awe stucking moments that we saw in Sarkar one. Everyone has acted well – especially both the Bachchans – senior and junior – shoulder to shoulder, they stand on their own and keeps the tempo going with the depth of their glimpse and intensity of persona. Other characters are caricatures, including Aishwarya, whose character is not so well developed.This is a typical Ram Gopal Varma movie. It has RGV stamp all over it. I think I had written in my Nishabd movie review that RGV is trying to be in league with International great and reputed directors. Yes, he is trying and we can see how close he is to it. He has developed the style, he understands the strength of scene and psychology of audiences, he uses enthralling images to capture close-ups of great actors as never before – but still he misses on those few things that would help him break the glass ceiling of world reputation.The biggest let down for me was the background score (not to be mistaken with the musical score of songs or the Govindam chants) – the background score does not vibrate and resound of power – but it deafens you. Some restrain would have surely pushed the movie to higher psychological power play on audiences' minds.It seems that Bachchans have made many enemies, and his blog does not help him to turn to friends either, and the self indulgent and arrogancy that comes of RGV's persona – I think, both factors together are creating an negative reaction to his movie.As RGV is only making movies and not playing himself from reel life characters and stories; the film reviewers are writing critics and not making movies like RGV. Everyone is playing some role in this life, so let RGV make movies as he wishes, and let critics praise or thrash his movies – as an audience, if the movie is good I would surely go and see it.Until and unless the reviews are extremely bad like RGV ki Aag, I will surely go and see the movie – because it has a brand of Amitabh and a fantastic director of Satya – RGV - behind it.For me this was a good movie – but not great. It had the potential of becoming great.
