i must have seen a different film!!
The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.
Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.
The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.
RGV seems to have cashed on the sequel lane and he too made a sequel of his SARKARAfter RGV KI AARGGGG he tries a film so one awaits to see what he will do Sadly the film seems another RGV Film like AAG With too many randomly used different camera angles, loud background scores.etc The script too seems puzzling, the quiet and cool Sarkar of the original is made to give lectures here The scenes are so boring with the same pauses between dialogs like in RGV films which are boring now The Amitabh- Abhishek relationship isn't handled well and seems confusing too The latter part of the film is better but by then it's already passed sleeping timeRGV needs to try something different, his work here is the same like his previous films Music and background score is bizarreAmitabh does well in his badly written role Abhishek seems lost and confused in the film and wears a bored look Aishwarya doesn't have an important role and her role seems like a addition just to cash on the Bachchan family But she is good Upendra Limaye and Victor Banerjee are good Dilip Prabhavalkar is excellent
The movie was loud the theater's woofers got busted. needless to say it was lousy. Mr. abhishek Bachchan AND HIS WIFE(OFF SCREEN) ensured that. Frankly i am not a fan of those movies which try to throw light on the other side of the underworld. the underworld is a dirty place- that's it. Amitabh's acting was good. he infused the much needed interest in the film. Apart from from his commendable effort i found everybody either shouting their heads off or remaining irritatingly dumb.I especially loved the director's ingenuity in unceremoniously removing poor tanisha from the movie to replace her with miss(oops) mrs clueless. the last seen was the cherry on the cake - A damsel who has nothing to do with the family (at least on screen) sits there with impunity and orders about their servants to bring her a cup of tea. well if i would have been given such an order i would have retorted by saying -take a hike missy,this is sarkar raj not bachchan raj. silly?? yes that's what the movie was.
Yes, I know that this movie was not based on the Godfather (how I wish it were). But clearly, there were bits and pieces (as well as the overall story) that showed the link.My main gripe with this movie is this: when Ram Gopal Varma adapted it, he forgot to also take a hint and keep the movie subtle. I've not watched Hindi movies for a while (which I think gives me perspective), and I thought this movie was worse than the blockbuster superhero-type crap that Hollywood makes (spiderman, iron man, etc.).First off, does every dialogue have to have some music to emphasize it? I can understand Hindi just fine, thank you. I do not need some loud eerie music after every sentence the Sarkar utters. This is almost like writing a 1000 page essay where every word was in caps, bold, or underlined.Second, they just *have* to make each villain have his "own" trait. Vora with his nonsensical humming, the other dude with his stupid metaphors, the killer with his permanently-on gloves (in 30 degree weather, I bet). Perhaps they hope to start a new meme (in real life). In any case, I found it childish.***spoilers in the following two paras***Third, Bachchan's long-winded explanations near the end: where did they get all that? Out of Ram Gopal Varma's ass? There was *nothing* in the movie to indicate that the plot could involve some of Sarkar's friends (except the car explosion, but we already knew that the Kanga guy was bad). Presumably Vora confessed when he was being questioned, but then do we need Sarkar explaining everything to Aish with the smirk of a genius who has figured everything out? Absolutely appalling.Fourth, what's with Aish taking over the empire? She was the business partner who had a crush (just a crush) on Shankar, and when he's shot, she cries like he was her lord and master. And what's that with the corny last dialogue? Suddenly she transforms from a whiny girl to a cold mafia boss? Ram Gopal Varma seems to have missed the fact that the best parts of the Godfather movies were the transitions themselves, like Michael from being just the youngest kid to being the Don. These are the things that should be shown, not cast away with lame one-liners.***end spoilers*** Perhaps Ram Gopal Varma believes this is what the Indian public likes. I guess there's plenty of evidence to support this, considering this movie is "better" than a majority of Bollywood movies. But this movie should not be judged comparison to those (e.g., because it has no songs and such). In the end, it's just like the rest of them: a bunch of crap that's spoonfed Bachchan style. I pity the state of Bollywood cinema.5 stars out of 10 is generous.
Not a bad movie at all. RGV had done a pretty decent job here. So did the Bachan's. The mood of the movie is pretty cool. The scrip had good intentions. Overall, a pretty decent watch. Now, to the negatives. Well, too much narrative!!!.. RGV and the script fails to give the pleasure of the plot discovery to the viewer. Must admit, it was a pretty admirable plot (not a classic though), but towards the climax, it had to spoon fed to the audience by the big Bachan with a 5 min or so monologue. The movie would have been a real good one if the viewer was let to discover the plot with some clues or finish the movie without the explanations, or even reveal it with a Shymalan style last second enlightenment.
