Sarkaru Vaari Paata is a commercial entertainer directed by Mahesh Babu that fulfils all the boxes.

Sarkaru Vaari Paata is the type of film that succeeds when Mahesh Babu is allowed to have a lot of fun with his role. It maintains a consistent tone throughout the film, but falters occasionally when it wants to be taken seriously. Parasuram isn’t the kind of filmmaker you’d expect to be sensitive, and it shows in the way he portrays Keerthy Suresh’s character. Here’s a filmmaker who understands his target audience and gives them exactly what they want.

Mahesh Babu plays Mahesh, a young boy who loses his parents when they commit suicide after failing to repay a Rs. 15,000 loan. Many years later, Mahesh has established a loan agency in the United States, and if his debtors do not pay interest on time, he will turn the world upside down. Kalaavathi, played by Keerthy Suresh, is a gambling addict who has borrowed beyond her means. She connives Mahesh into lending her $10,000, but she is eventually discovered. When Mahesh refuses to repay the loan, she threatens him, her father’s role is played by Rajendranath (Samuthirakani), a corrupt and ruthless businessman. Mahesh travels to India to reclaim his money from Rajendranath at any cost, earning Rajendranath’s wrath. When the matter reaches the attention of the media, Mahesh reveals to everyone’s surprise that Rajendranath owes Rs. 10,000 crore to banks. The rest of the film focuses on the truth about the Rs. 10,000 crore loan from banks.

Mahesh Babu’s refreshingly different character is one thing that really helps the film. It was exactly what his fans needed to see him shed his sophisticated image and play a character with an impeccable sense of humour without any inhibitions and nail it. Parasuram does not disappoint with his portrayal of Mahesh’s character. Unfortunately, the same cannot be said for Keerthy’s character, who is badly written and serves no purpose. One of Telugu cinema’s biggest stars appears in this film, and he says something about stalking a woman being a “boy thing.” If you ignore the heroine’s character, we’re left with a film that ticks all the boxes for a commercial entertainer. Mahesh Babu carries the film on his shoulders alone, and he does an excellent job of anchoring it even during its dullest moments.

Sarkaru Vaari Paata attempts to bring attention to bank loan scams and how the government fails its own citizens by turning a blind eye to those who have borrowed millions of rupees and failed to repay them. The messaging works as long as the story doesn’t get too serious, but it becomes a little tedious to sit through when it starts lecturing the audience. Even during the film’s slightly sluggish second half, Parasuram manages to keep the film largely entertaining.

At seven o’clock, Raj Babbar’s daughter learnt of his liaison with Smita Patil. “I shouldn’t tell my mother about this.”

Raj Babbar left his wife, Nadira, to marry Smita Patil in 1983. His daughter Juhi Babbar has recalled the time in a new interview.
Actor Raj Babbar was already married and had two children when he began his relationship with fellow actor, Smita Patil. The affair and the ensuing marriage saw a lot of controversy, given how it began. Raj Babbar’s daughter, former actor Juhi Babbar, has now opened up on the time and how she came to know about the relationship when she was just 7 years old.

Juhi Babbar on Raj Babbar and Smita Patil

In an interview with Lehren Retro, Juhi recalled how Smita Patil made a conscious effort to connect with Raj’s two children – Juhi and her brother, Arya. “My father talked and explained his marriage with Smita Patil to me when I was barely seven years old, and that’s why my memories of Smita ji are very different. She went out of her way to do things for me. I think she also had this thing that we are the kids of the person who is most special to her, and so we are special to her as well. She would show us a lot of love, always bringing us gifts when she travelled, and she would ensure that at home, we were served the food that we liked. These small memories are nice, but unfortunately, there aren’t many memories,” she said.

Juhi said she was conflicted about her impression of Smita at the time because the actor was always nice to us, but she could see that the marriage had shaken up her own family, particularly her mother, Nadira. “As a child, I knew this is the lady my father wants to be with, and he wants to make her his wife. I could see Smita making an effort towards me and my little brother, but I also knew that this was disturbing the unit that used to be, and that my mother was unhappy about it. I had that understanding—that aunty (Smita) was being so good to me, but when I go home, I shouldn’t share this with my mother.”

Raj Babbar and Smita Patil’s marriage

Smita Patil and Raj Babbar met on the sets of their 1982 film Bheegi Palkein. Raj left Nadira to marry Smita the following year. Their son, actor Prateik Babbar, was born in November 1986. However, Smita Patil died soon after from childbirth complications at the age of 31. Raj Babbar got back together with Nadira a few years later.

Juhi Babbar made her film debut with Kash Aap Hamare Hote opposite Sonu Nigam in 2003. She worked in a handful of films over the next few years before taking a hiatus to do TV. In 2023, she returned to films with supporting roles in films like Faraaz and Farrey. She is married to actor Anup Soni.
