Dear Raja Sen! I don't know why rediffmail recruited you to write movie reviews. I have a humble request to the rediffmail, please do not allow Mr. Raja Sen to review any movie. He does not have any film sense to review this. It is the best movie I seen after so many year. Abhishek Bachchan has lived his character and ofcourse I am toooooooo small to tell you about the Mr Bachchan performance in this movie. RGV has made a great film. I urge to all film goers to watch this movie in the theater you should feel the background music and the modulation in the voices of Bachchans.
Mr. Varma, stop it.. Stop fooling the audience. Stop covering the lack of script and screenplay with close-up shots and background score.. And please for gods sake dont ever try your hand in sentiments. You cant direct sentimental scenes.. Leave the sentiments to Maniratnam, Yash Chopra, and Karan Johar..
Varma, history has proven that one man show doesnt work in the long run.. ABCL for instance..Dont try to put your hand in everything.. Direction is your primary skill. Marketing, Management, and Production are your secondary skills. Dont sacrifice your primary skills for the sake of secondary ones
Guess what is missing in Sarkar.. Varma punches, to be precise Varma soul is missing. I guess you are confused in hindi movie industry. There is lot of mediocrity around. Dont compare yourself with that vast mediocrity around. You are different. Compare yourself with yourself, with your own movies. Why did you mention other directors while mentioning that Sarkar is inspired from Godfather?? Guilt??? No Varma, Sarkar looks like a piece of crap compared to Maniratnams Nayagan which was inspired from Godfather.
Forget the crap movies like Naach. God only knows how you could conceive that Antra maali can play Howard Roark!!!!
Boss you are confused about your own abilities. Run away from media for a while. Take some 2-3 months vacation.. Analyze what went wrong and where exactly you want to go.
And fire that music director Amar Mohile from your company. Hes messed up the entire movie with his C-grade background score.. Fire your script writers also.. Hire some new ones who can come up with some substance in their script..
Please stop creating unnecessary hype around your ideals, ideals that do not hold solid ground in your own creations. Mr. Verma falls into the same pitfall that he blames the rest of the "regular" moviemakers are in.
Ideals personified with fun on "Pyar Pyar Pyar..." in the movie Company or the unsophisticated Hindi song that the lead character is asked to direct in Nach or the pretentious (but lovable) Stephan Kapoor in Rangeela. Now we have the new Ramsys G. Verola in real life doing Sarkar, his greatest creation with the hero running away from the bad guys with guns, an olympic gold-medalist missing the bulls eye from a couple of meters, the sitar that tries to emote in vain like the most relevant chanting of Govinda Govind in every significant scene and not the least of all, the loud (dramatic?) music in between the dialogues. It certainly can be the greatest movie of all time, especially for someone for who originality can only be influence from others creations.
Sarkar is not a bad Indian movie. But I only ask our Mr. Verma to stop talking about others in the industry like they are all (unlike him) masala mixies, because he is no different.
Its an awesome movie and I dont understand with which state of mind the review has been written...
You must review a movie not only by making comparisons between hollywood and bollywood and finding a point to prove its a remake of some English movie.Seems like u r there just to critisize.
Come on all you guys trashing the review, lets be completely honest.
I am a DIE HARD Amitabh fan. I am also a big Ramu fan. And I would concur to a large extent with the review. The movie may definitely be one that is to be seen. But for the expectations one has from Amitabh and Ram Gopal Varma given thier past work and abilities, and the oppurtunity that "GodFather" represented, the movie is definetly a HUGE let down.
Just look at how slick and gripping Company was, or how intense Agneepath was, and tell me Sakar is anywhere close to them in terms of the script and editing. Now I feel maybe a different director might have done more justice to the "Godfather + Amitabh" oppurtunity that indian cinema had. I only wish Amitabh is still open to exploring that oppurtunity again with another director in the time to come.
