The verdict is out. 'Sarkar' is a HIT and has turned out to be fourth successful flick in a row for superstar Amitabh Bachchan in 2005.

The year that started with stupendous success of 'Black' and continued with family drama 'Waqt', popcorn entertainer 'Bunty Aur Babli' and power packed 'Sarkar' gets the 62 year old actor back on the superstar's throne after about a couple of decades.

Also, there was a 'Paheli' in between that was a mild success [hence making it five for Big B].

But since it was more of a SRK-Rani film than anything else [with Bachchan making a 5 min. appearance], it could be ignored from his list.

But Black, Waqt, B&B and Sarkar are as much as his successes as of Rani Mukherjee, Akshay Kumar and Abhishek Bachchan respectively.

Now one has to see if his subsequent releases 'Viruddh' and 'Dil Jo Bhi Kahey' extend his golden run at the box office.
