Sarkar (2018)
Sarkar is streaming in Malaysia on Sun Nxt.
The verdict
Sarkar neither embarrasses itself nor gives you much reason to recommend it. It holds a 5.7/10 on TMDB from 89 ratings, short of where most viewers set the bar. At 164 minutes it's a long sit, so save it for when you've got the evening. In Malaysia you can stream it on Sun Nxt.
Should you spend 2h 44m on it?
2h 44m of Tamil action, leaning drama. A little over the usual, so start it earlier than you think.
Don't watch this if…
- you want a number you can lean on. This one is still settling
- you've only got a couple of hours. It needs 2h 44m
- Why
- At 5.7/10 from 89 ratings, audiences are split; the genre fit matters more than the score here.
- Skip if
- you'd rather the plot moved on people than on set pieces
- Best for
- A night you can give it your full attention
