Sarkar Raj a 2008 Indian drama film written and directed by Ram Gopal Varma is an intense political drama and is essentially a study of power; it explores the politics of development and takes a fresh look at the tradition versus modernity debate.The film, whose story has been adapted from the Enron issue, is the sequel to Sarkar (2005), which was inspired by Francis Ford Coppola’s film The Godfather (1972); however, the sequel is originally written.Both the films have been claimed to be loosely based on the family of Balasaheb Thackeray, the leader of the Mumbai-based political party, Shiv Sena.
When Anita Rajan, CEO of an international firm, brings a power plant proposal to set up in rural areas of Maharashtra before the Nagres, Subhash Nagre visits Thakerwadi (a rural area in Maharashtra) to take permission for the plant from Rao saab who has been his mentor and was his teacher before he became ‘Sarkar’, the insightful Shankar is quick to realize its benefits.After convincing Sarkar, Shankar along with Anita goes to the villages to mobilize support of the masses.

However, things are not what they seem to be. From shady fixers with an eye on multi-million kick-backs to wannnabes who are ready to incite millions of people against the highly controversial project, Shankar’s dream project gradually becomes a political minefield. Evil forces gang up to bring down the regime of Sarkar and obliterate Shankar’s name from the political horizon. Shankar also feels that he is now Sarkar and that he has legitimately taken his father’s place. As Sarkar feels Shankar is using too much of his powers in the wrong places, it is up to Shankar to get back to the top of the food chain and regain the public support.
