Gabbar is Back- The Dream of creating a corruption free India

Release date - 1'st May 2015

One Word which describes the film - Over-the-top

Best Dialogue - 'Sabke Karam Saamne Aayenge, Woh Kya Hai Na Karma Rishwat Nahi Leta.'

Genre - Action/Drama




Story- Remake of Tamil film Ramana written and directed by A. R. Murugadoss

Writer- Rajat Arora


Direction -Krish
Budget- 80 crores  approximately.

Gabbar is back is a scene by scene remake of the hit Tamil film  Ramanaa (2002), directed by A. R. MurugadossIt's remade in Telugu as Tagore, in Kannada as Vishnu Sena and in Bengali as Tiger. All the remakes have earned money at the box office. So it was expected that Gabbar will also open to full houses. It has collected almost 46 crores in 4 days. 
The press gets information that 10 tehsildars across Maharashtra have been mysteriously kidnapped. But they are as mysteriously returned, except the most corrupt one. Other corrupt officers of various departments also become the target of Gabbar's fury who wants a corruption free India.
The film is very fast and has spicy one liners by the king of dialogues 'Rajat Arora',.
Digvijay Patil- Rishwat li to Gabbar maar dega, nahi li to main maar dunga.
Sadhuram Yadav- 'Jab mujhe expert advice chahiye hoti hai to mai khud se baat kar leta hoon.'
At times the film becomes too unreasonable and overblown which I think is a regular feature of any South Indian film.
Akshay Kumar who is known as the fitness icon looks bulky and has a very funny hairstyle. The moustache and grey beard do nothing for his look. In scenes with Shruti Hassan the age difference is very much visible.
Shruti Hassan who is a lawyer but also helps in successfully delivering a baby in the backseat of a car just based on google research is loud and most of the time looks like a fashion model.
Sunil Grover who plays the role of an intelligent hawaldar has given a good performance.
Suman Talwar comes across as a powerful antagonist.
Kareena Kapoor appears in the Teri Meri Kahani song and adds to the glamour quotient of the film. 
Chintragada Singh who was declared as the next Smita Patel when she made her debut in Hazaaron Khwaishen Aisi(2003) is now reduced to doing steamy item numbers. Aao Raja recreated by Honey Singh is his worst creation till date.
So the question is whether you should listen to all the critics and just avoid the film as it's nowhere near the magnum- opus 'Sholay' or you should leave your brains at home and just enjoy this masala entertainer.
In India the audience is already divided into classes and masses. The teenagers totally avoid Hindi films and stick to films like Fast and Furious and an equally mindless Avengers as they think it's cool to watch them.
Any film which has some patriotic message should be seen by all countrymen. So I would say go and watch it and if even one scene touches your heart and brings a minor change, the purpose is solved.  

In a line the message conveyed to the audience  is very good, I just wish the way in which it was presented was a little better. 

One time watch. Timepass
