"Saare
galat

to
aapne

baaki
tabah
hone
me
is
haveli
ne
sath
diya.
Yahan
bure
kaam
karne
ki
latt
lag
jati
hai,"
when
Mahie
Gill's
Madhavi
Devi
quips
these
words
to
Jimmy
Shergill's
Raja
Aditya
Pratap
Singh,
the
tension
simmering
between
these
two
characters
in
Tigmanshu
Dhulia's
Saheb
Biwi
Aur
Gangster
3
piques
your
interest
levels.
Sadly,
the
balloon
of
your
expectations
burst
soon
when
it
is
pricked
with
the
needle
of
a
mediocre
screenplay.
Saheb
Biwi
Aur
Gangster
3
brings
back
Jimmy
Shergill
and
Mahie
Gill
at
their
twisted
best
with
Sanjay
Dutt
and
Chitrangda
Singh
joining
the
cast.
The
film
begins
in
London
with
a
hoodie-clad
Uday
(Sanjay
Dutt)
entering
his
club
named
House
of
Lords
and
playing
the
game
of
Russian
Roulette.
And
guess
what!
There's
a
background
song
which
has
lyrics
like
'He's
the
baba,
Le
aaya
tera
baap',
most
of
the
time
when
Sanju
walks
into
the
frame.
Meanwhile,
'baba' is
head
over
heels
in
love
with
his
mistress
Suhani
(Chitrangda
Singh),
whose
favourite
past-time
is
talking
about
'chand
aur
suraj'.
In
the
parallel
track,
Saheb,
aka
Aditya
Pratap
Singh
(Jimmy
Shergill),
is
still
in
the
prison
after
being
falsely
implicated
for
a
murder.
In
his
absence,
his
second
wife
Madhavi
(Mahie
Gill)
is
enjoying
her
new-found
political
power
and
her
share
of
'one-night
stands'.
Despite
devising
various
crooked
plans
to
keep
Saheb
in
jail,
he
manages
to
make
it
scot-free,
thus
becoming
a
threat
to
Madhavi's
lust
for
power.
As
a
counter
game,
she
tries
to
pit
Saheb
against
Uday
trying
all
the
tricks
from
her
book.
Will
Saheb
see
through
her
game?
Will
Uday
fall
for
her
charmingly
manipulative
ways?
The
rest
of
the
fim
revolves
around
what
happens
next.
Unlike
the
previous
two
installments
in
the
franchise,
Saheb
Biwi
Aur
Gangster
3
lacks
the
zing.
Tigmanshu
Dhulia
spends
most
of
his
time
in
the
first
half
of
the
film,
trying
to
build
up
the
characters.
But
none
except
Aditya
Pratap
and
Madhavi
manage
to
charm
you
for
long.
The
film
stands
on
a
wafer-thin
plot,
which
barely
stays
afloat.
Thankfully,
the
dark-humour
infused
dialogues
save
the
day
and
give
you
some
intriguing
moments.
Saheb
Biwi
Aur
Gangster
3
fails
to
match
its
predecessors
with
its
lethargic
writing
and
lacklustre
direction.
Speaking
about
the
performances,
Jimmy
Shergill,
as
the
power-hungry
aristocrat
who
feels
the
pinch
when
he
sees
his
wife
enjoying
the
public
adulation
and
would
resort
to
any
means
to
gain
it
back,
is
impressive
to
the
core.
Mahie
Gill's
seductive
and
manipulative
charm
leaves
you
asking
for
more.
Her
scenes
with
Jimmy
are
an
absolute
delight
to
watch.
On
the
flipside,
Sanjay
Dutt
looks
awkwardly
uncomfortable
in
the
romantic
sequences.
His
chemistry
with
Chitrangda
Singh
is
as
'thanda' as
ice.
His
act
comes
across
more
as
a
'misfire'
when
it
comes
to
resurrection
of
his
career.
Sanjay
is
largely
outshadowed
by
Jimmy
and
Mahi.
Chitrangda
Singh
looks
pretty
but
barely
gets
a
chance
to
showcase
her
acting
chops.
Kabir
Bedi
looks
like
he
has
donned
some
horrendous
mask,
which
might
just
come
off
and
the
veteran
actor
suffers
from
poor-sketched
role.
Nafisa
Ali
too
doesn't
get
much
scope
to
display
her
acting
skills.
Deepak
Tijori
is
okay
in
his
role.
Amadendu
Chaudhary's
cinematography
is
average
but
the
VFX
is
poor
at
places.
In
fact,
in
one
of
the
scenes,
the
colour
correction
changes
mid-way,
leaving
you
baffled.
Pravin
Agre's
editing
has
nothing
new
to
offer
on
the
table.
The
music
of
Saheb
Biwi
Aur
Gangster
3
is
a
disappointing
fare,
and
the
songs
look
forcefully
inserted
into
the
narrative.
Barring
Kesariya
Jugni
and
Lag
Ja
Gale,
there's
nothing
to
impress.
At
one
point,
Sanjay
Dutt's
character
says,
"Zindagi
ka
maza
humne
bahut
kam
liya
hai,
ab
vapas
lauta
hoon
zindagi
bhar
ka
maza
loonga".
Unfortunately,
Saheb
Biwi
Aur
Gangster
3
doesn't
give
him
a
chance
to
do
so!
In
a
nutshell,
there
are
very
few
things
in
this
flick
which
holds
your
attention
in
the
chaos.
I
am
going
with
two
stars.
