Sarkar (Hindi: सरकार, translation: Government, or colloquially to address someone of authority, a political overlord) is a 2005 Indian dramatic thriller film set in the world of politics and crime, directed by Ram Gopal Varma. It stars Amitabh Bachchan in the title role alongside his real-life son, Abhishek Bachchan as the younger son, Shankar Nagre, alongwith Kay Kay Menon, Katrina Kaif, Anupam Kher, Supriya Pathak and Tanisha Mukherjee. The film is a homage to Coppola's 1972 American film The Godfather., set in the world of Indian politics. The film's sequel, Sarkar Raj, was released on 6 June 2008.
Subhash Nagre (Amitabh Bachchan), who is known by his followers as Sarkar, lives in Mumbai. The opening scenes show a rape victim's father (Veerendra Saxena) approaching Sarkar for justice (which the corrupt law and order system has failed to deliver) which Sarkar promptly establishes by having the rapist beaten up by his henchmen. His son, Vishnu (Kay Kay Menon), plays a foul-mouthed producer who is more interested in the film actress Sapna (Nisha Kothari) than his wife Amrita (Rukhsar). Sarkar's other, more upright son, Shankar (Abhishek Bachchan), returns from the United States
