Plot
The
film
begins
with
the
familiar
waving
of
Sarkar
aka
Subhash
Nagre
(Amitabh
Bachchan)
as
he
addresses a
rally
in
Mumbai.
'Real
power
is
not
about
fear.
It
comes
out
of
respect',
says
our
man
and
you
know
that
he
is
still
a
lion
at
heart.
The
white-bearded
Sarkar
in
his
flowing
black
robes,
rudraksh
beads
around
his
neck
and
a
long
red
tilak
on
his
forehead
still
slurps
tea
and
talks
with
long
pauses.
He
is
both
revered
and
feared
by
people
just
like
old
times.
However
after
the
death
of
his
two
sons
Vishnu
and
Shankar,
Sarkar
has
mellowed
down
a
bit
and
his
family
includes
an
ailing
wife
Pushpa
and
his
two
close
aids,
Gokul
(Ronit
Roy)
and
Raman
(Parag
Tyagi)
But
now,
the
number
of
his
foes
have
also multipled.
Men who
change
their
colors
like
a
chameleon
at
the
drop
of
a
hat
all
for
the
sake
of
power.
These
baddies
are
led
by
a
Dubai
based
businessman Sir
(Jackie
Shroff).
Enter
Sarkar's
hot-headed
grandson
Cheeku
aka
Shivaji
Nagre
(Amit
Sadh)
whose
character's
ambiguity leaves
Sarkar
in
a
fix.
To
complicate
the
situation
further,
Shivaji
is
in
love
with
Anu
(Yami
Gautam)
who
has
revenge
written all
over
her
mind.
With so
many
conspiracies
brewing
in
the
Nagre
household,
a
bloodbath
is
just
round
the
corner.
Will
Sarkar
pick
up
the
gun
again?
Direction
After
a
disastrous
chain
of
films,
Sarkar
3
was
thought
of
as
an
opportunity
for
Ram
Gopal
Verma
to
regain
his
Midas
touch.
Sadly,
his
latest
outing
doesn't
have
an
ounce
of
spark
to
hold
your
attention.
Sarkar
3
ends
up
as
a
washout
version
of
a
goons-and-guns
tale
where
a
web
of
events
simply
unfolds
without
a
specific
purpose.
The
twists
don't
interest
you
either
and
you
suddenly
feel
sorry
for
the
ensemble
cast
who
look
lost
just
like
us.
Performances
Amitabh
Bachchan's
charisma
and
towering
act
isn't
enough
to
pull
up
this
messy
fare.
But
still
the
superstar
nails
his
performance
and manages
to
give you
a
sense
of
déjà
vu
in
a
few
scenes.
Manoj
Bajpayee
is
impressive
but
doesn't
get
much
screen
time.
Amit
Sadh
as
the
angry
young
man has
a
long
way
to
go
when
it
comes
to
his
acting
histronics.
Watch
out
for
Ronit
Roy's
emotional
confrontation
scene
with
Big
B!
Oh
and
did
you
tell
you
that
Jackie
Shroff's
nemesis
act
offers
you
more
laughs
than
shivers?
You
will
hear him
mouthing
some
of
the
most
insane
dialogues
to
his
buxome
girlfriend
which
will
induce
you
to
word
coma!
Coming
to
the
female
protagonists
in
the
film, you
have
the
grey-shaded
Yami
Gautam
who
has
a
thing
for
glares.
C'mon
because
you
need
to
look
badass!
There
is
Rohini
Hattangady
who
generously
boozes
when
she
isn't
all
grumpy.
And
not
to
forget
Supriya
Pathak
who speaks
more
Marathi
that
what
you
will
get
to
hear
in
a
Virar
local!
Technical
Aspects
Ram
Gopal
Verma
and
tight
close-up
shots
go
hand
and
hand.
Sarkar
3
has
plenty
of
such
random
moments.
Every
scene
has
multiple
angles
and
the
ridiculously
placed
cameras
only
add
to
the
mockery.
Except
for
'Govinda
Govinda',
the
rest
of
the
background
score
is
terrible
and
makes
you
reach
for
a
tablet
of
Aspirin.
The
dialogues
lack
a
punch
and
sounds
clichéd
at
a
couple
of
places.
The
screenplay
doesn't
have
much
scope
for
impressing
and
the
abrupt
jumpcuts
in
the
editing
pulls
down
the
film
by
notches.
Music
Sarkar
doesn't
have
any
scope
for
music
except
for
a
Ganpati
aarti
in
the
voice
of
Big
B
himself.
The
devotional
track
is
impactful
and
lends
a
different
flavour
to
the
narrative.
Verdict
In
a
nutshell,
RGV's
Twitter page
is
much
more
entertaining
than
this
132
min
borefest!
It's
time
the
filmmaker
refurbishes
his
factory
of
films.
Until
then
our
solace
lies
in
his
previous
body
of
work
like
Satya
and
Company!
