Sarkar Raj received mixed reviews from critics but was noted for its intense storytelling and strong performances, particularly highlighting Aishwarya Rai’s role as a key figure in the intricate narrative. Her portrayal of a strong businesswoman who navigates through complex political landscapes was a departure from her previous roles, showcasing her versatility as an actress.

While the film's reception varied, it contributed to the broader discussion about the role of women in positions of power in Indian cinema. The character of Anita Rajan was cited as an example of a significant female presence in a largely male-dominated genre. This shift was important in portraying women as pivotal players in the landscape of Indian political dramas.
