Shubhra Gupta The Indian Express 05/10/2019
The film does deliver some surprises, and that's why it's much better, and tauter, than the first. The intrigue is sharper. So is the acting. Go to Full Review Lisa Tsering The Hollywood Reporter 07/05/2016
Sixty-five-year-old Amitabh Bachchan, India's vibrant and virile living legend, is riveting in nearly every film he does. But even a true fan's ardor is tested by the tedious political thriller, Sarkar Raj. Go to Full Review Anil Sinanan The Times (UK) 07/05/2016
3/5
Proves firmly that Bollywood can hold its own technically against its Western counterparts. Go to Full Review R. Paul Dhillon Georgia Straight 07/05/2016
Sarkar delivers a long monologue at the end of the film that explains what really happened: chiefly that the power plant was just a ruse for a power struggle. Too bad Varma didn't make that film. Go to Full Review Maitland McDonagh Miss FlickChick 03/01/2009
Ram Gopal Varma's... reworking of The Godfather... delivers the casting coup of Bollywood's royal family %u2013 Amitabh Bachhan, his son, Abhishek, and Abhishek's wife, Aishwarya Rai %u2013 ... [but] the result is overwrought and cliched. Go to Full Review Frank Lovece Film Journal International 06/11/2008
This all-star concoction is as muddy as the Ganges and nowhere near as holy. Unless, of course, you're talking plot-holey. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

04/07/2019 The sequel to the original, this movie has a few unnecessary deaths but apart from that continues to show the full power of Subhash Nagre (and really the acting power of Amitabh Bachan). See more 10/27/2012 A satisfying political thriller, following on the lines of THE GODFATHER 2! See more 04/20/2012 Good stuff. Don't sleep on foreign cinema. Although this is an homage to the Godfather, foreign cinema seems to be getting better, as home grown flicks are content with the sad state of affairs that is the status quo. See more 02/19/2011 He tried to do better than the first one...alas !!! See more 12/08/2010 No Doubt, Amitabh Bachan Is The Best Actor In This World & ThIs Movie Proves "OLD IS GOLD" Superb Performance From BIG B.
