Divya Delhi: Ram Gopal Varma's Sarkaar 3 climbs above a boring crime-drama to show us a bloody, dramatic life of outlawry. Death of Bal Thackeray. Long live Bal Thackeray. Thackeray's doppelganger in Amitabh Bachchan is uncanny: steely, gritty, imperturbable, granite-hard, yet flexible and vulnerable. Walking, talking, and extending dialogue beyond the writer's expectations... Please bow, Mr. B. No longer made like you. Building another plot around that powerful figure from Maharashtra's politics, who changed politics and made political arrogance sexy, takes bravery. Sarkar's last film was 9 years ago. Subhash Nagre faces obsolescence or irrelevance. Varma succeeds in creating a captivating, if confined and campy, story of a wise but still-spirited political outlaw who refuses betrayal and treason. “You must understand family politics to understand politics. It’s called Palace politics,” Subhash Nagre says, slurping tea from the plate as his grandson Shivaji (Amit Sadh in engaging form) does the same.
