And at many places in the screenplay, the logic is questionable. The pretentiousness of the screenplay is shown in a swearing-in ceremony scene in the first half. This is somewhat of the same kind and the scale is bigger, but the screenplay in the first half falls short, not managing to meet the demands at all points. We have seen AR Murugadoss handle stories that might seem superficial on the outset, with a larger than life hero. The first half travels with the story finding expression but with a lot of filler scenes that seem artificial. The high point takes a beating after the build-up that one could find pretentious. Every second scene is a build-up that mostly doesn't serve its purpose. But the problem with the film starts right there too. There is no time wasted in introducing the hero and his biggest conflict. So the idea is established right from the word go. A super successful NRI returns to India to cast his vote in the election but turns out it has already been cast illegally by someone else. Sarkar's basic story outline has been the topic of discussion all over social media in the past couple of weeks and it's quite a simple one. After busting the blocks with their first two outings Thuppakki and Kaththi, the dreaded Vijay-AR Murugadoss combination is back with a political thriller, Sarkar! The film is produced by Sun Pictures and has music by AR Rahman.
