Sarkar Raj ****


Sarkar aka Subhash Nagre (Amitabh Bachchan) takes a backseat as son Shankar Nagre (Abhishek Bachchan) takes hold of the family empire. An NRI industrialist Anita Ranjan (Aishwarya Rai) approaches the Nagre family with a power plant project to be set in the local lands of Maharashtra under Sarkar’s domain. After initial reluctance, Sarkar gives a go ahead to the venture which soon takes shape of a political conspiracy.


As usual Ambitabh has proved his potential. The delicate father-son relationship has been well portrayed and I really need to appreciate Ram Gopla Varma for the his excellent direction ! Although the movie has been a sequel ,to the earlier much better version, it has echoed further into a wonderful movie !


The part where Abishek's wife perishes in an explosion is the best touch. Everyone has done justice to their roles. From the political track the movie shifts to a revenge drama which is like any other movie but that was much needed else it would mean nothing for a father of such potentials. Aishwarya is simply marvelous by looks but has been her usual self.


Music was mediocre.


On the whole, the movie is as good as the ealier part. I atrribute **** to big B's acting and a good director's vision.
