After the critical success of Sarkar, comes the sequel ‘Sarkar Raj’ by Ram Gopal Varma. Boasting of a star cast that is every bollywood director’s dream, RGV gets the first ‘Bollywood family’ together in this much debated political saga.
Playing friendly ghost in Bhoothnath, subsequently Big B is now set to reign supremacy with his impressive character Subhash Nagre aka Sarkar. Handing over the power to his son Shankar (Abhishek Bachchan) in Sarkar, Subhash Nagre looks forward to retire. But Anita Rajan (Aishwarya Rai-Bachchan) making her entry in the Sarkar series, plays a spoilsport to his retirement by dragging him back into the mainstream politics. She has an ambitious project of setting up a Power plant in rural Maharashtra. Ash plays the high profile business woman from London who has set her mind on making it a success story. Knowing the impossibility of it without the Sarkar’s blessings, she succeeds in convincing Shankar about her plans. But Subhash Nagre’s go ahead takes more efforts.
As Shankar and Anita travel through rural Maharashtra to gain support from the masses, they realize the political forces are acting against them. Shankar finds himself losing grip on his dream project as it turns into a political game. The evil forces gang up against the Nagres’ while trying to erase the very existence of Shankar regime from politics.
‘The Godfather’ has proven itself to be inspiration for many a films across the world. While the plot for Godfather on which ‘Sarkar’ was loosely based, had already been set by Mario Puzo in his most admired book. However, RGV is to be credited with the plot for the sequel ‘Sarkar Raj’. The original one was a run away success, it remains to be seen how long the sequel continues to pull the crowd beyond the opening weekend.
