Music

It would indeed require guts from a mainstream film-maker to come up with a music album that primarily comprises of theme music and movie's background score. Ram Gopal Verma ji does exactly the same by launching "Sarkar's" 2 CD Collection.

CD1 is titled 'Govinda Album'
CD2 is titled 'The Power of Sarkar'(a compilation of background pieces(scenes) from the movie).

Sarkar Music

First CD comprises of some situational songs and scenes that give a clear indication of how the plot in the movie progresses. Breathtaking chant of 'Govinda.. Govinda..' haunts at the very start of the album..

Govinda Song

This song begins with drum beats accompanied by the chant of 'Govinda Govinda'. These chants continue for the entire duration of 'Govinda Govinda' that begins with Big B's Dialogues. Kailash Kher does classical part but high profile background score get the screen on fire with 'Govinda chants'.

More than the 'shlokas' that come from a distant background intermittently, it is the rendition of 'Govinda Govinda' that make a stunning impact.

Shaher, Sahher Ke Hazaron Sawal

'Shaher Shaher Ke Hazaron Sawal ' is another heavily orchestrated piece that begins with Kailash Kher establishing the character of the lead protagonist further. But a few seconds later, this piece too joins the ' Govinda Govinda ' stream. The song continues to establish the character of 'Sarkar' who is shown to be the most powerful.

The Power of Sarkar

This CD clearly indicates the compilation of background pieces is infact primarily an assortment of situational background pieces that accompany every major scene in the movie.

Simple scenes like

' Rashid Comes For Tea',
'The Killing Of Khurana',
'Shankar Rises',
'Arrival Of Silver Mani'
'Villains Jubilant ' etc.

have been brought alive on audio through some brilliantly executed orchestra

The feel of the entire 1 hour 12 minutes of this background score is dark, grim and attention grabbing. Each track depicting the scene in the movie actually makes you remember the movie for long days..

On the whole we can say Sarkar has a courageous musical score.. Sarkar Music is hit..

RGV's Work On Sarkar

'Sarkar' aptly describes the thought process of director Ram Gopal Verma who is ready with his socio-political drama.

This is exactly the reason why RGV has always believed in coming with up with a product that RGV believes in while shrugging off everything that is conventional.

'Sarkar', with obvious references to Marlon Brando's classic 'Godfather', stars Amitabh Bachchan as a lead protagonist with strong social and political connections while Abhishek Bachchan and Kay Kay play the part of his sons.

Katrina Kaif, Tanisha and Rukhsar complete the female star cast.

Jeeva, amongst other talented artistes from the RGV camp, features in 'Sarkar' in villain side.

RGV has always believed in coming up with something 'different' in each project of his.

With a pairing of Abhishek and Katrina, he could have easily fallen into the sentiment of at least one romantic duet.

But as always, he listens to his main feeling and instead delivered what makes sense to 'Sarkar' project as a whole.

RGV has presented his version of ' Godfather ' very clearly and grabs the attention of the public immediately.
