Sarkar is Ram Gopal Varma's powerful political crime trilogy starring Amitabh Bachchan, and watching it in order shows how the Nagre family's empire rises and evolves.

Inspired by The Godfather, Sarkar stars Amitabh Bachchan as Subhash Nagre, a feared but respected Mumbai power broker whom the people call "Sarkar". Abhishek Bachchan plays his son Shankar, who is drawn into the family's battles. The sequel Sarkar Raj added Aishwarya Rai Bachchan to the cast, and Sarkar 3 brought the patriarch back to face a new generation of threats.

πŸ• Release Order

Here are all three Sarkar films in release order.

  1. Sarkar (2005)
  2. Sarkar Raj (2008)
  3. Sarkar 3 (2017)

The trilogy tells a continuous story centred on Subhash Nagre, so the chronology is straightforward.

Each film picks up the Nagre family's story some years after the last, matching the order they were released.

  2. Sarkar Raj (2008)
  3. Sarkar 3 (2017)

Which Order Should You Choose?

Watch the Sarkar trilogy in release order. The first film establishes the Nagre family's power and loyalties, which drive everything that follows. Fans of political thrillers and gangster sagas will especially enjoy Amitabh Bachchan's commanding performance across all three films. Varma's moody visual style, low camera angles and the thundering "Govinda" chant on the soundtrack give the trilogy a distinctive atmosphere unlike most mainstream Bollywood films. Sarkar Raj expands the story into a large-scale power project battle, while Sarkar 3 explores loyalty and succession as the family's old guard faces fresh rivals.
