Great RGV Films Are Days Of The Past
The film is nothing but a shoddy work of writing. There are no new elements and the story and twists are largely copied from the first two parts. A stronger screenplay and a better adaptation into Maharashtra political scene could have worked wonders for the movie with an amazing cast. Those magical RGV days seem to be a past now!(more)

SARKAR 3 comes across as an old wine in a new bottle
director, Ram Gopal Varma has completely lost his grip on the �SARKAR� franchise. In an attempt to tell a hard hitting political story, Ram Gopal Varma keeps on going around in circles with SARKAR 3. What adds to the misery is the fact that, every second character in the film speaks in a parable and keeps giving out philosophy on how to live in a political world! But at no point do they speak anything that is even remotely associated or related to the main story plot, which only adds to the confusion and the irritation. It won�t be wrong to say that there are many places where Ram Gopal Varma loses grip, which makes the film does go astray. (more)

Amitabh Bachchan Can't Save This Idiotic Film
Sarkar 3 kicks off with a litany of disclaimers, possibly provoked by multiple lawsuits, and one of the first things we're informed is that "any resemblance to reality is pure coincidence." I kid you not. Jackie Shroff, god bless his soul, takes this line to heart. As a Dubai-based don called 'Sir' Michael Vallya, it is only in Shroff's ludicrous appearances - wearing mirrored sunglasses as he cavorts around dogs and dolphins, accompanied by a barely dressed young lady who doesn't seem to know what fish are - that this film comes close to being entertaining. It's nonsense, of course, but at least the Shroff sequences appear aware. The rest is as moronic, but masquerades otherwise.(more)

Despite Amitabh Bachchan trying his best, where�s the novelty?
Sarkar, in his flowing black robes, dramatically contrasting white beard, rudraksh beads around the neck, is both respected and feared by his constituency and his enemies: he is not an elected representative, but wields as much if not more power than those who sit in the Mantralaya.(more)

Big B Is The Glue Holding This Film Together
am Gopal Varma used to be a celebrated filmmaker once and his previous works supports that but off late, the director has been on a serious detour. With Sarkar 3, he once again, misses the bulls eye, thanks to a weak script and a poor supporting cast. RGV�s Sarkar 3 is dreary remake of Sakar itself and that�s what its biggest problem is. Amol Rathod�s camera work is well suited in the Ganesh Visarjan scene. The whole shootout sequence is captured well. Apart from that, in many scenes, the focus remains on objects in Nagre�s living room than the figures in conversation. (more)

Beneath power lies nothing
RGV has a certain style of shooting a film but it is annoying to see how he captures objects better than the characters in the frame. The faux scary dog on the dusty furniture, the laughing Buddha and Abhishek Bachchan�s framed photo are the most entertaining parts of the film. The dim lit rooms are familiar thanks to the previous two films and tight close ups of Amitabh slurping tea from the saucer are funny to the core. The most hilarious part is that Sarkar 3 has nothing to do with the continuity of the last one. (more)

The cycle of doom has been completed
Ram Gopal Varma is back with Part Three of that series, which presented to us the first clear evidence that the great man was slipping. Sarkar (2005) was the film where Varma's camera stopped documenting and began decorating. It was the film in which Ram Gopal Varma, in his worship of Amitabh Bachchan, betrayed his own talent. Sarkar 3 is like the cycle of doom, now fully completed. Perhaps Varma could do with a compliment or two, right now.(more)

Amitabh Bachchan fails to save this predictable mess
Ram Gopal Varma does not believe in subtleties when it comes to the background score. Sarkar 3 either has different versions of "Govinda Govinda" blaring in the background, or "Saam Daam, Dand, Bhed." It gets quite annoying after a point. The first half is engaging enough, but loses its way post the interval. There are loose ends which are never tied, and by the time the climax comes, you have pretty much figured out how it is going to end.(more)
