SPECIAL FEATURES Additional DVD of Sarkar Raj narrates 'Making of the Film' which by itself is close to an hour long. Simply put, this is THE BEST 'Making of the film' which one would have ever seen for a Bollywood film. And that's because it is shot as a film in itself. The sound of Sarkar's 'kolhapuri chappals' leading a viewer into the den where cast and crew of the film talk about Sarkar Raj immediately hooks you on as the shots of the outside life are well interspersed in the sequences to follow. In fact what impresses is the fact that even the 'making' section has an editor at work who innovatively arranges the shots to make it a 'dramatic' affair. The segment truly sticks to the 'making' part as a viewer is taken to the actual locations during the filming of Sarkar Raj. Whether it is the preparation for the riot scenes or the powerhouse dialogue delivery by Amitabh Bachchan being captured in an alternate camera as history in the making or actors getting ready for their shots or Ram Gopal Varma instructing Abhishek to act with in a particular body language, it is fun all the way. | ||

Sarkar Raj is an arresting film from the first till the last frame. Whether it is Abhishek Bachchan interrogating a man who had secret plans of assassinating him or Aishwarya Rai Bachchan's concluding command of 'Can I get some tea?' Well, lo and behold because 'ek gamar chai ki pyaali' tradition passes on from Amitabh Bachchan to Abhishek Bachchan and now Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, hence proving the adage of 'We are one family' true! Coming to the finer points of the film, there is quite some technical brilliance on display, though in Ramu's own subtle manner. Amit Roy's camera zooming in through a 'kadai', it being placed under a glass table, a cycle spoke leading tension to the scene that would follow, delicious food never looking worse when gulped down by Sayaji Shinde - nothing so obvious but of course making Sarkar Raj an effort which looks different, and of course impressive. In a story which is far more complex, as admitted by the cast and crew themselves, Sarkar Raj thankfully has a twist in the climax which practically no one saw coming. And that's a compliment in itself for writer Prashant Pandey who managed to get turn it all around in a film which was neither a thriller nor suspense flick but primarily a dramatic tale. Coming quite unannounced, the final thread in the tale just gets the entire jigsaw puzzle solved which never seemed to be existing in the first place. And this is where Sarkar Raj gets its maximum points as one realizes that how a nexus could be far more complex than the one surrounding politician/bureaucrat/industrialist/cop that has been beaten to death. Well, there have been detractors and there would be detractors but what matters in the end is whether the story worked or not? Whether it was engaging enough? Did the film boast of good performances? Was the technical finesse well in place to ensure that Sarkar Raj is much bigger in scale and appeal than Sarkar? The answer to each of these questions is, of course, a big YES! | ||

http://www.bollywoodhungama.com/movies/dvdreview/12651/index .html THE FILM There is something about films coming from the house of Ram Gopal Varma. Each of them is scrutinized, probed, interrogated and criticized (for good or for bad) regardless of how well or badly it is made. Everyone seems to have a point of view, just like we all have for the Indian cricket team! If it underperforms then well, we start singing praises about a 'Kho-Kho' team (no offense meant to the sport) which may have been doing surprisingly well in possibly Vietnam. And if it does well, then in majority of instances, we try to find the 'real reasons' around its victory. If Sachin Tendulkar performs, then well it was expected that the living legend does play to his potential. And if he doesn't and a newbie Virat Kohli gets India home, then a) it could well be a fluke or b) the other team underperformed! Why the analogy? Well, because the same happens in case of films coming from Ram Gopal Varma as well. If his film is bad (and mind you, there have been quite a few of those - we have not yet forgotten the new Shiva and of course the punching bag favorite Ram Gopal Varma Ki Aag) then all daggers come out and if it is good, then also it is questioned. Just as in case of Tendulkar for whom it is unpardonable to get out without scoring a 100, Sarkar Raj too was questioned when it didn't enter the prestigious 'Rs. 50 crore-in-collections-group'! The general sentiment was - 'The film was good but then with the combined power of Bachchans and the sequel factor, it should have gone further up'! Well, expectations can't really be controlled, can they? And to think of it, this is nothing less than a compliment for the makers and his team which is expected to perform at the highest level at all instances! |
