SARKAR RAJ



"Govinda Govinda Govinda….." though I came out of theatre those enchanting words were coming in my mind and on my toungue!

What a movie it was! Great chemistry of acting, music, direction, suspense… The first half was not that much of impressive as it would have been but after the interval things went right. Amitabh Bachchan! What should be said about this person? He has given his best performances in the films like black, sarkar and now its Sarkar Raj…

I am not interested in describing the plot of cinema or its story. I want to praise Amitabh solely through this blog. Abhishek Bachchan was also 'best' fitted in his role. His expressions, dialogue delivery and body language (acting also) is superb. Ram Gopal Verma is back in his past days when he had given films like Raat, Satya, Kaun and Sarkar..

There is not much acting pieces for Amitabh in first half. Abhishek is dominating before interval. He takes some decisions though Sarkar is opposing them but as he says 'sambhal loonga' he makes his father believe in him. And after that things start on. Abhishek is killed. And… original Sarkar takes control. He punishes all guilty people and asks for Chiku, while Aishwarya asking for a cutting

Amitabh has proved himself that no one can alter his place in hindi film industry. Really, no one would have acted in the way he did. He didn't have too much dialogues in film but the dialogues he speaks are just unforgettable. The shot in which Raosaheb (Dilip Prabhavalkar) comes to console him after death of his son and asks who is next… Amitabh just gestures to a place where Raosaheb's grandson is dead… is great. Also the scene when he apologizes in front of shankar's frame is proof of his ability. 'Jaan lena gunnah hai par sahi samay par jaan lena Rajniti'
no one can deliver such dialogues as amitabh does!

There are lots of Marathi actors in film Dilip Prabhavalkar, Rajesh Shringarpure, Govind Namdeo, Upendra Limaye, Sayaji Shinde (but all are villains!) And Sarkar with his son always shown thinking of Maharashtra's progress! Actually before the release of cinema there was a big issue created by Raj Thackeray of MNS about Bachchan family of not being them Maharashtrians. One can not forget these sequences while watching movie! But politics is politics and acting is acting!!! All the people compared Sarkar Raj with its previous version Sarkar(which was also a big hit…) and thought it was better. Yes, in some aspects Sarkar is far better than its sequel. Sarkar was full of politics and amitabh is shown working for people in that but in Sarkar Raj though plot is of a power plant it becomes a film in which a father takes revenge of his son's death!!!

But it is not an ordinary movie indeed! Scenes of riots (background at this particular scene is irritating…) are not so effective but let it be. Aishwarya doesn't have an important role in movie (except she becomes Sarkar at last…) But the movie is really nice and its background is simply enchanting and dominant………

Writing this blog I am getting back to my blog routine which was disturbed due to exams. Thanks to Bachchans, RGV, Amar Mohile for such a nice film…
