Sarkar, Indian movieThe Indian movie, `Sarkar` is directed by Ram Gopal Varma. The movie stars Amitabh Bachchan in its title role. The film also stars Abhishek Bachchan, Kay Kay Menon, Katrina Kaif and Tanisha. Sarkar meaning `The Government`, is considered to be the director`s homage to the classic The Godfather.

The title character is not an underworld don. Rather he is a man who has rewritten the law. He has risen, with time and circumstance, to wield unchecked and autocratic authority over the people living in a so-called democratic form of governance. By nature, he possesses the ability, the charisma, the intelligence and the Machiavellian cunning to control the working of the city, in all its various aspects. He even dispenses justice when the common man cannot obtain it from the law keepers - or the government, police and judiciary.

It is hard to say convincingly whether similarities between Sarkar and Shiv Sena chief Bal Thackeray are incidental or deliberately created in the film.
