Sarkar
Raj 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.
When Anita Rajan (Aishwarya Rai - Bachchan), CEO of
Sheppard power plant, an international Company, brings
a power plant proposal to set up in rural Maharashtra
before the Nagres, insightful Shankar (Abhishek
Bachchan) is quick to realize the benefits the power
plant can bring to the people. After convincing Sarkar
(Amitabh Bachchan) who is against it for various
reasons, Shankar undertakes a journey along with Anita
to the villages of Maharashtra to mobilize support
from the masses.
However, things are not what they seem to be and
Shankar's dream project gradually becomes a political
minefield. It is in this backdrop the evil forces
mightier than ever, mushroom and gang up to bring down
the regime of Sarkar and obliterate Shankar's name
from the political horizon.
