Sarkar Raj (2008)
7/10
Falls short of Greatness
6 June 2008
Though i never really had much expectation from this movie, it really delivered at some levels. The Background Score, narration, ambiance, and a strong storyline. This movie continues with the journey of Shankar Nagre to becoming a full fledged Godfather (aka Sarkar of Maharashtra,India). The first half of the movie dwells into the deep rooted politics and the problems that it brought along for the Nagre family,giving a feeling that it could proliferate into something massive. Unfortunately, the plot starts to cool down from thereon and does not turn into the same exhilarating second half that the first one had. Direction from Ram Gopal Varma is good in this movie which should be a relief for his fans as his last few attempts did not go down too well with the critics and casual moviegoers alike. Overall, i would say that Sarkar Raj has everything a good movie should have, but just falls short of becoming that extra special. I give it a weak 7 / 10.
