There are Somethings in life those are far beyond your control. They just happened to you. As SarkarRaj was releasing in first week of June; some of RGV Fanatics (or to be precised Sarkar fanatics) from my group, were keeping close eye on bookmyshow.com. But much to their dismay (or to my relief) all weekend shows got booked within early few hours as soon as the plan got opened.
Honestly I didn't like Sarkar much, I thought it was "All Style No Content" movie (Just the way 'Kaante' or any other White Feather Productions) what I liked about the Sarkar was the ambience in which we saw the movie. I saw it in Dadar's Chitra Theatre (FYI Dadar is bastion of Shivsana, and there was much to talk about uncanny resemblance between Big B's character and Shivsena Supremo) So our cinema hall was more surrounded by Shivsainiks (who were their to verify authenticity of the character) rather than movie buffs like me. Anyways Sarkar was hit and so does Abhishek Bachhan.
Back to 2008
After array of disasters like Shiva, Nishabd, RGV ki AAG and Darling I had really little hope with RGV. Because when he is bad he is BAAAD. As most of us made our mind to skip SarkarRaj for this weekend. AP's opposition party called for a sudden bandh against petrol price hike and to avoid any mishaps Wipro called a day OFF.
Now Now Now. "Kaun kehta hain AADMI apnee kismat khud likhata hain?"
Friday morning show tickets was a easy buy (First Day First Show...eeeho!). and we hop on to catch the show.
1.The expectations.
Bachhan Trio together in full fledged roles (in Kajra re!~ they simply rocked)
RGV in recovery (or rather damage control mode)~ we know he can do wonders
Plot: Yet another similitude with Thakaray family ~(Enron power plant)
2. And what we got?
I did not hate the movie. I believe it's good to have sequels of not so good movies so that you don't fall flat. (Past examples Dhoom and I know what you did last summer) The Plot revolves around small village of Maharashtra (Yeh! too much of Maharashtra, being a Maharashtrian that did irritate me.) where Aish has plans to set a dream project. That becomes dream of Jr. Sarkar as well which incidently collides with dream of Jr. Raosaheb (new character) and then there of clashes of dreams from different politicians, businessmen, fundamentalist and that's how story proceeds.
The storyline had a great potential to become a political tug-of-war...but Ramu doesnt want it way, had an enormous latent of father-son drama ...but Ramu doesnt want it that way, a good satire to rip of hidden agendas of our ministers and MNCs...but Ramu doesnt want it that way.
3. Then what Ramu want?
An awkwardly camera movements, wide close-ups, excessive violence, over the top performances by almost all the supporting cast and yeah GOVINDA GOVINDA GOVINDA in all possible irritating tunes and tones.
4. Saving grace?
The top notch performances by lead actors. As all three ABs have created magic on screen. Big B's Subhash Nagre still the same, Jr. Bachhan shines harder after Shankar taking over Sarkarship from Sr. Bachhan and yeah entry of Bahurani to Sarkar family though frequent visits of this multi billionaires’ to Nagre family does strikes at a time.
The movie has it's moment. I liked when Shankar confesses his brother's murder in front of Anita, a scene where Shankar convinces his father for power plant (and camera just moves behind the glass table), when Shankar exposes Govind Namdeo in front of Anita that shows Ramu is still very much there and need to bounce back...harder and for god's sake quicker.
The movie has some unexpected twists and turns, importantly the first half is quick and catchy, it draggs in second half.
5. What is missing?
Now I realised that Sarkar had a very powerful supporting cast which is totally lacking in Part2. K Kay, Isharat Ali, Rashid, Baba ,SilvarMani and three babes~Nisha Kothari, Kathrina and Rukhsar (Plz call her back for part 3) all did help to make Sarkar an impactful experience.
Seems that Ramu has lost it's touch (and it's disheartening).
Overall it's not BAD movie at all, but with such cast and crew we do expect a really good movie. I just hope that somehow RGV gets his magic wand again. Get well soon RAMU.
