Sarkar Raj is based on a strong political performance of treachery, revenge, passion, courage, love or relationships and is to all intents and purposes a study of power; it explores the politics of development and takes a fresh look at the tradition versus modernity dispute.
Legend actor Amitabh played the vital role as (Shubash Sarkar Nagre) in the first half of the movie while his son Abhishek attracted the audience performing his brilliant performance rest of the time.
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. Varma redeploys the atmospherics of “Sarkar” — the looming close-ups, the doom-laden score and the near monochromatic frames. However, it’s all undone by a weak script and loose plotting. The film is based on the story of the plant built by the collapsed Enron Corp. in Maharashtra and the recent conflict that arose over a federal government decision to allow factories to be built on farm land.
