Sarkar box office collection Day 4: Vijay starrer continues to rule amidst controversies

In the wake of the growing criticism, the team of Sarkar on Friday decided to make some changes to the film. In an application to the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC), the team requested to omit some scenes and dialogues from the movie. Sarkar’s re-edited version was showcased across screens from Friday evening.

Despite protests, the makers of Sarkar are laughing all the way to the bank. The movie is fast nearing the Rs 100 crore mark. The film had opened on November 6 to mixed reviews.

The Indian Express film critic S Subhakeerthana said in her review, “Sarkar belongs to Vijay, but not AR Murugadoss. It’s tailor-made for ‘Thalapathy’ who speaks of farmer suicides, Jallikattu, Tuticorin protests, the fishermen’s issue, ‘marketing and branding’ and how with the support of youngsters, he can save Tamil Nadu. Watch out for the scene where he talks about tomatoes and ketchup, please.”

Along with Vijay, Sarkar also stars Keerthy Suresh, Varalaxmi Sarathkumar, Radha Ravi and Yogi Babu in significant roles. The music by AR Rahman is already a hit among the audience.
