Sarkar: Re-presenting Amitabh Bachchan

The film, Sarkar, explores the image of Amitabh Bachchan. It tries to understand his anger and the enemies he implacably opposes. By exploring the theme of anger, the film also questions current trends observed in Hindi commercial film-making. Most films cater to the narrow urban middle class audience; moreover, in a rapidly globalising world where protests of marginalised sections are rendered invisible, Hindi films rarely depict an ideology of protest.
