But Ram Gopla Varma has stepped up to the challenge and provides a great sequel, Sarkar Raj. RGV has given us great movies before like Shiva and Satya, but this will top them all. The movie is well written, well acted, and well shot. The movie is powerful and has some great scenes involving the Bachchans like Aish’s first meeting with the Bachchans to explain the power project, to the Bachchans' visit to Dilip Prabhawalkar's residence. As usual Amitabh Bachchan has giving a great performance, with Abhishek Bachchan showing his continues improvement in acting from Yuva to Guru to Sarkar Raj. He has worked hard thru out his career and both father and son will be in the running for some best actor awards this year. Aishwarya Rai Bachchan does delivery a good performance but her acting has not been well utilized by RGV with lack of screen time; given that Aishwarya has had some great performance in the past in movies like Devdas (2002), Provoked (2007), Guru (2007) and Jodha Akbar, Jodhaa Akbar (2008). | Movie Songs: Jalwa Re Jalwa By Kailash Kher, Sunayana Sarkar Dasgupta Jhini Jhini By Roop Kumar Rathod, Shweta Pandit Jalte Rawan By Abhishek Bachchan The Govinda Theme By Bapi, Tutul, Chorus Chaah Bhanwar Trishna By Sunayana Sarkar Dasgupta Subah By Pamela Jain Saher Saher Ke Hajharon Sawaal By Arun Ingle, Bapi, Tutul The Govinda Chant By Kailash Kher, Bapi, Tutul Saam Daam By Kailash Kher The Govinda Groove The Govinda Trance By Bapi, Tutul, Jankee Parikh The Jalwa (Club Mix) By Kailash Kher, Sunayana Sarkar Dasgupta, Remixed by: DJ Hiren | | | |
