Sarkar Raj
Saw the much awaited Sarkar Raj yesterday. First and foremost I feel that the Govinda tune was over used, in the first half after almost every dialogue the theme song would blast in the background. The movie lives up to the adage that the sequels can never overcome the original. The story line is about a power plant being set up and the politics in that. Like the original here too there are scenes of the villains huddling together and scheming against the Nagre family and the climax shoes that the brain was some one else whom they trusted. Some of the dialogues are good I liked the one where one of the characters says "India me public ko development nahi entertainment chahiye" it’s so true. More than the acting it was the camera which took stage shooting in lots of weird angles and the sepia tinge. The first part was fully "INSPIRED" by the The God Father the second is not. Amitabh was good as usual and Abhishek played his part of being a suit wearing don but with a lot of harping on "Maharashtra ki unnati" which I feel was not required. One or twice would have been fine but every time the talk about the power plant comes up there’s Maharashtras unnati coming up. I guess they wanted to give a message that as a family they are concerned about Mahrashtras progress. The pre release rumors that it’s based on Raj and Uddhav’s fight is all bull shit. Like the first part the actors who play the villains did it well. I forgot to mention Aishwarya well she’s in the movie wearing business suits accompanying her real life beau and crying once a while also delivering couple of lines. Most of her role is spent on close angle shots with some expressions thrown in. Tanisha’s role as Shankar Nagre’s wife was better than her famous bra advertisement. The movie ends with a probability that a third part can be made if required.
