Why it's in the canon

The Godfather relocated with real conviction, and Amitabh Bachchan's most economical late performance.

A parallel authority in Mumbai who settles what courts will not, and the younger son who inherits the machine.

Sarkar sits in the 2000s alongside Lagaan and Dil Chahta Hai — a decade this canon treats as formative.

The essentials

Film record Wikipedia — Sarkar (2005) · data last revised 9 August 2026 · title, year, director and cast are read from that article; this site keeps no independent print record and does not claim one

Editorial Inclusion in the extended canon, unranked — not a measurement · last revised 9 August 2026 · signed by Amit Sharma · the scoring is published in full so the machinery can be argued with, not just the result

No box-office figure, rating or audience score is printed on this page, because none has been independently verified for this film. The dated, sourced money figures the site does stand behind are on the box office page.
