Overview :-

Sarkar Raj is a 2008 Indian drama film written and directed by Ram Gopal Varma. The primary cast features the Bachchan family - Amitabh Bachchan, Abhishek Bachchan, and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, who appear together for the first time in a film after Aishwarya and Abhishek's marriage. The film is set to release on June 6, 2008.


The film, whose story has been adapted from the Enron issue,[1] is the sequel to Sarkar (2005), which was inspired by Francis Ford Coppola's film The Godfather (1972); however, the sequel is originally written. Both the films have been claimed to be loosely based on the family of Balasaheb Thackeray, the leader of the Mumbai-based political party, Shiv Sena.

The film is set two years after the original film, Sarkar. When Anita Rajan, CEO of an international firm, brings the Nagres a power plant proposal to set up in rural areas of Maharashtra, Subhash Nagre visits Thakerwadi (a rural area in that state) to seek permission for the plant from his mentor, Rao Saab. The Westernized and business-suited Shankar is quick to realize the plant's benefits, which will nonetheless required relocating 40,000 people in five villages. After convincing Sarkar, Shankar, along with Anita, visits the villages to mobilize support from the masses. However, things are not what they seem to be. From shady fixers with an eye on multi-million kickbacks to a political firebrand ready to incite the people against the controversial project, Shankar's dream gradually becomes a nightmare of infighting, betrayal, bribery and kidnappings. Shankar also feels that he is now the Sarkar (a title essentially meaning "Overlord"), and that he has legitimately taken his father's place.

Shankar's two-months-pregnant wife is killed by a car bomb and he himself is attacked, but he keeps fighting in his own way until Shankar is finally shot dead moments after accepting Anita's love for him. Subhesh Nagre exactly bloody revenge on all involved in his son's assassination.

Rao Saab is the main culprit. The Power plant plan was just a facilitator for a master plan of this political game. Rao Saab's plan was to facilitate his son become the powerful leader, and replace Shankar the son of Sarkar. As his son was now close to Shankar by a preplanned game and he was publicly declared ( by Shankar himself )to have the same vision as Shankar had, Sympathy and role would automatically be transferred to Rao's Son after Shankar's assassination.

The most trusted Chandar, the 20 years worker of Sarkar, planted bomb in the car that killed Shankar’s wife. He was not happy with the way Shankar operates.

In the end Anita was shown to replace Shankar.

While Sarkar was inspired by Francis Ford Coppola’s film, "The Godfather", the sequel will be completely original.
