Topic: Sarkar (film)

	Sarkar is just Godfather, dumbed-down
		In a film touting the young Bachchan as the best thing to happen to acting, he is given surprisingly little room to perform.
		By the time the film coasts past intermission, however, his character is mixed with Fredo, the snivelling middle son.
		This is a Francis Ford Coppola film, as directed by Joel Schumacher, subtle as a sledgehammer.

	Movie Review : Sarkar (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		SARKAR is inspired by Mario Puzo's literary classic THE GODFATHER, which Francis Ford Coppola immortalized on the big screen in Hollywood.
		SARKAR begins with Nagare aka Sarkar listening to the heart-wrenching story of a hapless father [Virendra Saxena], whose daughter has been raped, while the rapist is acquitted by the law.
		The sequences at the start of the film [Sarkar's men bashing the rapist, Vishnu's introduction in the studio, the spat between Sarkar and Vishnu on the dinner table] are expertly executed.

	BBC - Asian Network - Your Reviews
		Sarkar is a good movie where there's a lot of importance given to the portrayal of the Godfather kind of character,Mr.Big B,rather than the good deeds that he does.
		And it will be wrong to compare each actors in the film and rate them cos all of them have done more than a justice to their character and after you leave the theater, each character will be in your head and heart, believe me.
		The film may have been inspired by Mario Puzo´s The Godfather but I couldn’t compare the two as Sarkar is a film in its own right.

		Sarkar?s film has 10 characters with the protagonist?s role being played by Rajdeep Das, a local boy and a student of Class IV.
		Sarkar decided to film the condition of the estates from the time he started coming across reports of starvation deaths and the plight of abandoned workers.

	Amardeep Singh: The Ideology of Sarkar
		Those films were about crime; this is about politics, though RGV is either trying to avoid it or simply unaware of it (which would be worse).
		The film isn't really about Bal Thackeray, no matter how many similarities between the characters may be, because I doubt even RGV has the proverbial steel balls to go after a figure such as this in his own city, even with thinly (or thickly) cloaked metaphors substituting gangs for politics.
		I've always wanted to see something that may never be addressed in a bollywood film, what is called the "terrible triumph of society" in that the people are the ones who allow evil to propogate for their own petty concerns without giving a scarce thought as to who they're inviting in their own house.

		Speaking about the movie, Abhishek said: "Sarkar is the story of a very powerful family living in the city of Mumbai, and how they have to deal with situations regarding their respective place in the society.
