Performances : RGV Direction and screenplay excellent and he surpasses his first movie Shankar with a punching story and using best from the characters. Abhishek gives his best performances after Yuva and Guru. Aishwarya Rai even with limited scenes, leaves her mark like her scene with Amitabh Bachchan and Abhishek in the hospital. Tanisha as Shankar’s wife has a limited scenes. while the other character actors like Chander, Kanga, Vora, Somji, Rao saab and Qazi are used very effectively giving each one of them an equal oppurtunity and making even more interesting. All as Sankar Raj is a rare sequel that surpasses its classic . A rare Sequel which is incredibly to be as good as or even better than the original. Ram Gopal Varma’s Sarkar Raj not only lives up to its expectation but also exceeds in some respects.
