a rushed project is what i can call this movie, which had the potential to be great, but the director, Ram Gopal Verma, just to imitate The Godfather & The Godfather II, rushed so many things and made a mess of so many scenes.
The movie is watchable for the performances & background score & some of Amitabh's lines are praise worthy but there are many contradictions within the character of "Sarkar"..
At 1 moment Sarkar(Amitabh Bachchan) says "power is gained by joining people together, not by making them go against you", then when someone visits him(Rashid) to strike a deal with him, he himself acts in such an offensive way asking that man to become his enemy and forgetting his own basic rule.
At another moment Sarkar says "I don't interfere in other's business" yet after telling Rashid that he wont do business with him he specifically calls him and tells him that he would not even let Rashid do the business himself.(Note:in the Godfather how wonderfully Marlon Brando tells Solozzo who comes 4 a similar deal that drugs is a dirty business etc etc and he cant help him but also he wishes him the best in whatever he does, thats what should have been done here, since Sarkar is a man for the people, he should act nice even with an enemy so that he doesn't create a hostile environment around him) Now the son played by Abhishek(Shankar Naagre) and killing his own brother played by K.K(Vishnu Naagre), this was put in just to copy the Godfather II and nothing else, because it was so unconvincing the way it was handled, it took two parts for The Godfather to show Michael Corleone order the killing of his own brother, showing every inch of change in his character till the last scene of the Godfather II, whereas in Sarkar, it was rushed, out of no where you see Shankar telling his father he killed his own brother & the reaction of the father was very bad, it was not convincing at all, as if not a son but an enemy died.
So overall it was a good movie judging by Hindi movie standards but still, for me it was a huge disappointment because when this movie was announced, I thought RGV would handle it so well & make a movie better than his own Satya, which remains his best movie.
