Sarkar (2018) is
an Indian Tamil political action film written and directed by AR Murugadoss in
2018. The film is produced by Kalanithi Maran under the production banner of Sun
Pictures. The film stares Vijay,
Keerthy
Suresh, Pala Karuppiah, Varalaxmi Sarathkumar,
Radha Ravi,Yogi Babu and some others. The film is about democracy in the state,
implementation of casting vote for elect leader of the state, raising powerful
awareness against corruption in election. Sarkar means the politicians
in whose hand, power to govern the state stays.
I just want to explain
two dialogues of the film.
(i) “If vote was cast by others illegally,
they must be given a ballot paper and will be allowed to cast their
vote.”__________Sundar Rameswamy.
(ii) “People are powerful for one day but the
politician in power are powerful for five years”.___________Sundar Rameswamy.
Vijay plays the role of
Sundar Rameswamy, an Indian non-resident and the CEO of GL a multinational
company in the United States comes in India to cast his vote but his vote is
cast by anyone else. The honorable court says and others at first times say on
vote won’t affect the total counting. Sundar says some realistic description
that Vajpayee government fell by only one vote. So, every vote is important
equally. The honorable court takes the case according to law. In Indian
electoral law there is a section called ‘Section 49-p’ according to this law
‘if a vote was cast by others illegally, they must be given a ballot paper and
will be allowed to cast their votes’. But here is a matter of 30,000 votes and
all have been cast by others. That means 30,000 voters could not cast their
vote. Sundar raises awareness about this election that he has come from United
States only for casting a vote. Sundar says them that people are powerful for
one day only for casting a valuable vote. But the politicians in power are
powerful for five years. So, it is an intellectual and very important weapon.
Who would come in power or who won’t come, it is the responsibility and choice
of every citizen. If a corrupted or
dishonest politician comes in power, the people have to suffer extremely as
well as the state. But if an honest and sincere politician comes in power, the
state and the people will stay in peace. So, Sundar’s awareness is implemented
at last. The former election is dismissed and a new election date is fixed. Sundar
and resident of the area stand as candidate and win in the election.

There are political
violence, action, political problems and solution in the film. But the film is
facing some problems like as the honorable court says ‘really, this section
exists?’ why? There are knowledgeable judges, barristers, or others but they
don’t know the law. It is a lack of the film. Another lack is giving a little
scope to the antagonists to perform. Audience will hope a serious and critical
moment in this situation like state or politics or power. But overall making
this kind of political action film will overwhelm the audience as this kind of
situation most of the states in the world is facing. Not only India but also
any third world countries are facing this problem. The original voters cannot
vote their own and their votes are cast by others. But there is no solution in
realistic world. But in this perspective it is one of the important examples
for them or the states to learn from here. I think it is also an educational or
knowledgeable film. Any leader or politician can watch this. I think they are
the primary audiences of the film. Anyone can be target audiences in film for
some common sphere but the leaders are the main target audiences for the film. There
is a little touch of romance but it has not grown well for the increasing of
political turns and dialectical turns.

I don’t think it is
praiseworthy like AR Murugadoss’s Ghajini (2005), Stalin (2006), Ghajini
(2008), Thuppakki (2012), Holiday: A Soldier Is Never off Duty (2014), Spyder
(2017) or others. But its political ideology is extremely praiseworthy.
Actually, Vijay leads
in the film in every scene but alongside Keerthy Suresh did not get scope
equally as well as Pala Karuppiah or Varalaxmi Sarathkumar. But they have done
their best with the little scope.
