Anything overdone in life is not digestable…..like excessive
smoking leads to cancer….excessive drinking leads to lever failure….excessive
exercise may lead to a cardiac arrest….please do not think that I am giving
some kind of a pravachan or a lecture straight out from a good health guide…lol
I am basically pointing out that anything excessive is not
good and this is the same thing which I noticed in Sarkar Raj….
repititive political games….so what if bapu was introduced
as a support wall of the story…..
repititive performances…everyone knows that I am a huge fan
of Big B but I found him sort of regular….only at few places I liked his
performances but that’s not the Big B we die for right?
Abhishek again repeating himself….after a while too much of
a silence from him gets on your nerves…bhai mooh se kuch bolega ya maun vrat
rakha hai????
Aishwarya nothing so great….a typical hardcore business
woman turning into a typical filmy heroine the moment she is introduced to the
naagre family….o my god what a drastic turn around of a personality…lol…arrey pagli
tu bahu thode hi na hai naagre family ki jo aise aansoo bahaa bahaa ke aur zor
zor se chilla ke ro rahi hai….funny!!!!
Govind Namdeo does a good job but his character was too
similar to that of Zaakir in Sarkar….
Sayaji Shinde repeats himself in every other film since Shool…..
Dilip Prabhavalkar is otherwise such a great actor but as
bapu….what a waste made out of him …
Rajesh Shringapure as Sanjay Somji was too good as a
debutant….very impressive
For the first few minutes the camera angles seem very novel
but after a while that too gets overdone and too too too repetitive….believe me
after the movie got over I started feeling dizzy…and I looked at Akki and said
mujhe chakkar aa raha hai….
If u frankly ask me I don’t care about the camera angles etc
etc…and the lighting which I seriously found faulty (though creatively thought
of may be but imagine if the same lighting experiment was done by a debutant
director he would have been shreaded by now but its RGV toh kuch soch ke hi
kiya hoga hai na? huhh) apart from few good scenes I don’t remember anything
from the movie….
I mean to say to cover up faults in your story telling if u
take support of your cameraman….it can be done at a few selected places in the
film not the whole film yaar…come on….i am surprised at some people going ga ga
about the film shot in a different style agreed that there are a few very well
shot shots in the film but that’s it is there to discuss…what else my friend?
Frankly I wont be as generous and a bit soft as others have
been in their reviews coz if a film works for u in bits and pieces its actually
not working for u….this is a fact…period…I found the film very weak and loose….with
a lot of hangover of Sarkar….may be that’s the reason why a sequel will seldom
work in India….remember Vaastav’s sequel Hathiyar also suffered the same
way….coz it had more than plenty instances which I could directly relate to
Vaastav….same is here I could notice so many undercurrents in Sarkar Raj which
I have already felt and seen in Sarkar (Read people playing political
games)….again repetitive….now I know I m inviting few debates on this point
specially but I am ready with my justifications…. J
But yes if you decide to make not a sequel but a SERIES like
Munnabhai there are plenty of chances that it will work every time its made….
I don’t know what is the wizardry that RGV has done in this
film….apart from few brilliant things like few nicely shot action shots and well
written dialogues….the background music is fine but the main problem lies with
the film’s audio mixing I feel….there is this song “raavan” where the lyrics
are hardly audible as the sound effects of people shouting and yelling has been
given too much importance…if there was only music it was a different thing but
surely not sound effects overlapped with lyrics please….
I would not want to discuss the film here in totality as I
think I would take it up as and when the discussion heats up….if at all it
does….lol
Till then I would just like to join our cute Aishwarya Bhabhi
(lol) and say “zara 200,000,00,00,000 (Rupees Two Hundred Thousand Crores) ki
chaai Pilaana please”
People here who have seen the film might be in splits right
now…..lol
A one time watch for sure….atleast to experience the true
roller coaster ride which RGV and his cameraman provide….lol
