Sarkar Raj - You should Watch

Set against the milieu bidding adieu to the uncrowned king Subhash Nagre being over taken by his son Shankar who is ruthless yet following the footstep of his father to make his state a better place. Lurking with the possibilities of having a mammoth opportunity to change the fate of his state in future, Shankar accepts a high profile power plant establishment to commence under his own umbrella. Little does he know that the actions taken by him would lead to the unexpected events making a father’s wrath and agony being the driving force to retaliate against unfaithful departure of leafs from his family tree.

What emerges from this tangled puzzle is a web of corruption and self-interest, all fueled by the need for power. In one plot thread, the men behind one soon-to-establish power company will stop at nothing to make the deal go through, since the new company will be one of the most powerful in the country. Meanwhile, a power struggle between the two sons: one of Subhash Nagre and the other of Rao Saheb an aging king of rural maharashtra has attracted the attention of the same organization. They don't want the reform-minded Shankar Nagre, whose priorities will be building a country to benefit his own people to run the show for them. They want instead the Rao saheb’s grandson, who will continue to relegate his country to a cosy spot in thier hip pocket and take orders directly from them. In the film's most chilling plot strand, one can see how the struggle for power feeds the radical villager’s movement in the state, providing young men with a feeling of brotherhood and righteousness in the face of a region they feel has turned its back “The Nagre dynasty” on them in favor of big business and Western corruption.
This film does an excellent job of illustrating just how politics and big business conspire to preserve the status which also protects their power and profits. The interaction between different set of people depicted in this film shows how all actions have consequences. Murder is a crime; a murder at right time is politics. In order to gain a long term benefits for his men; Shankar overruns his father decision which lead to a series of nurve wracking events sees his untimely demise.
Abhishek in a gray shaded role enjoys his best performce surpassing his father in every encounter between these two. Only once curtains for the son are down father shows his class, what an actor Amitabh is, I can’t praise him anymore…can I? Aaishwarya is worth every tear she drops while Amitabh reveals the truth at the end. Bachchan trio power packed with explosive perfomance is a must see this time. (They surely rock the nation everytime they come together – Remember Kajrare-Kajrare!) . No point praising Ramu as this is his forte, no one can depicts the power play better than him and he proves himself once again. Well done Ramu!!
