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.
Being a fan of Amitabh Bacchan and Sarkar (Part 1), my expectations from the film were way too high! But was disappointed after watching the movie. The suspense was created but after a point they were just stretching the story line and then the story became too obvious to guess. Compared to Sarkar this one wasn't able to create the same hold. The feeling we got when heard theme music in Sarkar that was missing in this one. Talking about acting Big B has justified his character of Subhash Nagre, no flaw there. Amit Sadh also up to a certain extend made justice to his character. Yami Gautam was a disappointment. She didn't have much to do in the movie. Other then them performance of other actors was though not applaud-able but was not even substandard.
So overall, the movie is a one time go but you will not miss anything if you don't go.

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.
Ram Gopal Verma's 'Sarkar 3' is An Underwhelming Watch, Despite A Star-Studded Cast! The two parts prior to this, were well-made films (although the first one was literally The Godfathter, which Ramu admitted himself), but the third time around, Sarkar seems to have lost his edge. Its strictly an okay film, that is shun down by a predictable story-line.
'Sarkar 3' Synopsis: Shubash Nagre aka Sarkar (Amitabh Bachchan), finds himself caught in between a web of conspiracies of corrupt politicians, a powerful business & his own grandson, Shivaji (Amit Sadh).
'Sarkar 3' is clichéd film, where nothing unpredictable happens, expect for the ending, which has a nice twist. The narrative is watchable, but it never arrests to a point where you'd root for Sarkar or even be engaged by his villains. P Jaya Kumar's Screenplay sticks mostly to predictability & hence doesn't offer anything new. Ramu's Direction is average. The filmmaker isn't in form this time around. Cinematography is standard. Editing lacks crispness. Art Direction is well-done.
Performance-Wise: Amitabh Bachchan returns as Sarkar & he's alright. The rustiness in his voice, makes it a little hard to understand the dialogue he speaks. Amit Sadh as Shivaji has strong screen presence, but channels Big B a bit too much. Jackie Shroff, in the most ill-written villainous role here, is wasted. Manoj Bajpayee is fantastic & undoubtedly, the show-stealer. The acting giant enacts the corrupt, evil politician to perfection. Yami Gautam is fair. Ronit Roy is as usual. Rohini Hattangadi is hardly there. Others lend support.
On the whole, 'Sarkar 3' is an average fare, at best.

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.
