Shot taking style with dark key lighting, focus shifting, out focus to in focus, are very tiring and irritating for eyes and that is in abundant. Even director dared to keep a dog statue in focus while keeping Mr. Sarkar out of focus that is just unbearable because it's always a delight to watch him. Heroine face has captured between handle of coffee mug. Film is stuffed with such type of shots. Story is very convenient. A Dubai based builder, his keep for glamour quotient by showcasing her body. Conflict and confusion between Sarkar's own blood that is grandson and old body guards. Keeping name Gandhi to a hard core shrewd villain is creativity by makers!! Film is typically slow. Characters are not well established so you didn't attach with them. So climax comes just as an information without much surprise. Performance wise Mr. Amitabh Bachchan is fantastic as usual. Manoj Bajpeyi is marvelous too in his guest appearance. Jachie Shraff is fine. Rest are just OK. Unable to understand that why did Yami Gautem accept this role which had literally nothing to do.
Sarkar 3 is RGV's desperate attempt to regain lost territory and he does succeed to a certain level. The movie is for those who have the patience to wait till the climax when all the pieces finally come together to complete this puzzle called Sarkar 3. As always in a Ram Gopal Varma movie, the camera work and the background score are exceptionally good. The movie has nothing new to offer but some fine performances by Mr. Bachchan and Amit Sadh make up for the slow pace. Manoj Bajpai is impressive as Govind while Bajrangbali Singh who plays Gandhi is a great find. Yami Gautam holds on to the same 'horrifying' expression throughout the movie. Ronit Roy is another fine actor who never lets his audience down although Jackie Shroff does get on your nerves. Unlike Sarkar, the movie has no great dialogues worth remembering. All said and done, the movie is a good reminder of the elite class of directors RGV once belonged to.
Solid n reliable Bachchan returns as Nagre in #Sarkar3, but this version disenchanted me. The previous parts were far superior. The standard RGV practices are on full display here, like, in-your-face close ups of people n random objects, dark rooms n characters, slow dialogue recitation, tension-filled situations n sudden slayings. Amit is good as the faithful grandson. Manoj is bumped off before he makes an impact. Gifted actresses like Pathak n Hattangady r wasted. Jackie is made to look more funny than intimidating. Some more brutality would have definitely added value to the film. Rating 2.5/5.
First, the good bits: Choreography, music, direction and scene settings; the transitions. Etc The bad bits: The plot. The script - that kept us alert and in raptures like the first two. It transcends from a fairly good movie until the last 20 minutes - when it becomes quite unbelievable. Like as if the script writer was changed halfway . . . . The first two movies were a continuation of a theme. This one starts from nowhere and ends - well, I'll let you decide.
I am a fan of the SARKAR franchise and enjoyed this installment better than Part II. Amitji was excellent in his role as were Ronit Roy and Jackie Shroff. It was a dark film, but like Sarkar it was principled. It portrayed Sarkar as both cunningly political and devotedly committed to his god, Ganesha. I sincerely hope that SARKAR 4 is in the works for future release.
