Review of Sarkar

Sarkar (2005)
7/10
Mr. Abhishek Bachchan comes of age. Stands up in front of his father and gives a stellar performance.
1 July 2005
The movie made out to be a tribute to the Godfather comes nowhere close to the legendary Don Corleone. Overall the movie fails to create the desired impact in-spite of a good storyline and a star studded cast. Amitabh Bachchan is Sarkar, the parallel law for those that cannot help themselves. He is not his usual over the top self and while some would be relieved, he somehow seems to have lost his edge. Supriya Pathak is extremely believable as the wife of Sarkar and the mother of her misguided son Vishnu(Kay Kay).

In the end it is Abhishek Bachchan who steals the show as Shankar. He moves effortlessly in his role as the US returned son to the son who finally takes over the reigns as Sarkar. RGV sure knows how to get the best out of him. After Lallan in Yuva, this is AB Baby's best performance.

The movie is a sure watch for Abhishek Bachchan and Amitabh Bachchan. The father son duo create magic when on screen together.
