Political drama with dark overtones.
Note: Pls watch the Sarkar 1 and 2 for a better understanding of the story and characters.
The Sarkar franchise continues from where it left off in Sarkar-2 with Amitabh portraying the role of Sarkar,head of the most powerful family in Maharashtra's politics. The plot revolves around the conflict between Sarkar and the unscrupulous builder lobby over a plot of land to be re-developed.
After the death of both his sons ,Sarkar is shown to have aged but is certainly not down and out.He is now ably supported his 2 lieutenants Gokul (Ronit Roy) and Raman (Parag) who is mute. His grandson Shivaji (Amit Sadh) , Kay Kay Menon's son (who has been bumped off by Abhishek B in Sarkar1) comes backs into his life and things take a turn for the worse.
Twists in the plot : 1)Are Shivaji's intentions Honorable or is he actually the vengeful son who has turned up to avenge his fathers death??
2)The other twist is when Gokul is coerced into joining the enemies of Sarkar by exploiting his insecurity after Shivaji's entry into Sarkar's life and the irresistible offer of having Sarkar's position and status in Maharashtra's politics. Has he actually turned traitor or is he still loyal to Sarkar & working covertly for him??
The plot moves through these ever changing twists and turns before the truth is finally unveiled in the climax.
Cast : Amitabh as Sarkar is amazing & gives a restrained performance ,delivering shock value exactly when required. Awesome screen presence!!!
Ronit Roy is also great as Sarkars right hand who controls everything behind the scenes without too many dialogues , mostly conveying his emotions through his eyes only.
Amit Sadh plays his part to the T, as an impetuous & reckless young man , trying to prove himself a worthy successor in the eyes of his grandfather.
Yami Gautam as Sadh's girlfriend has a chilling, unblinking, vengeful look throughout which gives you the creeps. This could've been better exploited alas !!
Manoj Vajpayee's character of a power hungry politician could've been better to make a substantial impact on the film . Not bad but a bit too loud !!!
Jackie Shroff as the don cum crooked businessman mouths cryptic dialogues which can rack your brain all night long...if you try to make sense of them , is funny to say the least !!
Verdict : Most of the film hovers in the dark . This darkness has been used effectively along with the "Govinda Govinda" background score to jolt you throughout the film. The Ganesh aarati song by Amitabh is great and is the only song in the whole movie.
The climax is worth waiting for and the twists and turns in the plot keep you firmly grounded to your seat.
Well directed by Ramgopal Verma,albeit with a few loose ends as far as some of the characters go. Not bad at all .
Watch it if you are a fan of the Sarkar franchise. I can assure you that the characters will keep you thoroughly engrossed.
