SARKAR RAJ – POWER UNLIMITED



RGV is back quite literally. The legendary ‘Sarkar’ is back in RGV’s, ‘Sarkar Raj’ and it is more a Bachchan family get together, than anything else. One of the most talented families around, the Bachchans accepted the opportunity with both hands and delivered some of their best performances. The Bachchans waltz around the movie with aplomb, though Aishwarya doesn’t have much to do in the movie. Ram Gopal Varma finally makes a come back, with a decent movie this time around.


Sarkar Raj translates to ultimate power, as far as the movie is concerned. The Sarkar (Amitabh) is now in the background and Abhishek as Shankar Nagre is in control of the empire. Aishwarya Rai as Anita Rajan, the CEO of Sheppard power plant, approaches the Nagres with a project proposal. Shankar is impressed with the project and its benefits for rural Maharashtra. But the Sarkar is against it. Shankar gets the Sarkar to agree and along with Anita, he plans to garner support from the locals. But it is not as easy as it sounds as evil sources are gunning for Shankar, trying to make him history, as power cannot be given. It can only be taken.

The movie is a form of revenge for RGV. ‘Sarkar Raj’ has recorded a decent collection, though not a run away hit. But it manages to bring the RGV flop juggernaut to an end. After ‘RGV ka AAG’, everyone felt that he could only improve from there and that is what has happened in a minor scale. We may expect RGV to provide better movies in the future
