Power can not be give, It has to be taken...
The cast has been terrific in the movie. Amitabh & Abhishek Bachchan have been above par. The movie wouldnt have been a success without them. The intensity of roles and the wealth of power has been amazingly displayed by them. Aishwarya Rai Bachchan has rocked too in the movie. She is looking stunningly beautiful and you can actually see how lovely a pair they both look with each other.
The story takes lead from the prequel Sarkar in which Amitabh was displayed as the undisputed king of the politics in Maharshtra. The supremacy has taken well by Abhishek and Amitabh has taken a back seat in the movie. The movie deals about setting up a power plant in the state of Maharashtra for which eventually few villages has to give up their land. It also displays that how to reach the pinnacle in politics, what the politicians can do at the same time.
Amitji & AB Jr. are the most powerful political family in Maharashtra and when Aish comes from US to setup up the power plant in India, how the family looks at the future of the state, putting their own reputation on stake by asking the farmers to provide land for the project.
The vision of looking at the better tomorrow made them fight with a local leader, who has a blood relationship with the undisputed king of the region, "Rao Sahab". It takes the form of a war where both AB Jr and the local leader have a different perspective looking at the welfare of the state. The battle turns out of be a lethal one where many lose their lives.
A very powerful statement was made by Sarkar (Amitabh) in the middle, when he says to the chief minister... "Aap Goverment se ho, government aapse nahi..." which if completely translated in hindi means...
Aap Sarkar se ho, Sarkar aapse nahi...
Its very subtle but it actually depicts how a lot of thought has been given for scriptwriting and dialogs of the movie.
The story takes many unexpected twists and turns. The politics of power takes the blood and lives of many. The story ends with a statement which makes immense sense about how the politics is done in this country...
To kill is a crime, but to kill at the right time is politics......
I think the cast has done complete justice to the movie and if it would have been a different cast, the movie wouldnt have been a success. Abhishek has really looked a charmer again and all you girls are gonna fall for him.
IMDB Rating: 7.5/10
IMDB Link: Sarkar Raj
The movie certainly has some flaws, but still looking at the genre and the past success, the directors do get carried away. The last 10 minutes of the movie are really stretched for long but it doesnt looses the grip in the middle.
All in all, a good watch and worth spending few bucks in the theatre.
Great Watch...
Cheers!!!
