Corruption
is
a
subject
that
has
been
done
and
dusted
with,
in
Bollywood.
Every
now
and
then,
a
number
of
films
keep
popping
up
with
the
same
subject,
so
it
was
no
surprise
for
us
when
the
maker
of
Gabbar
Is
Back
announced
this
project,
a
remake
of
the
Tamil
flick,
Ramana
starring
Vijaykanth.
A.P.J
Abdul
Kalam
said
and
we
quote,
"If
a
country
is
to
be
corruption
free
and
become
a
nation
of
beautiful
minds,
I
strongly
feel
there
are
three
key
societal
members
who
can
make
a
difference.
They
are
the
father,
the
mother
and
the
teacher."
Gabbar
Is
Back
featuring
Akshay
Kumar
does
what
the
fathers,
mothers
and
teachers
have
been
failing
to
do.
Gabbar
Is
Back
Plot:
This
film
is
about
a
common
man,
a
self-appointed
vigilante,
who
is
out
to
abolish
corruption
altogether
from
the
society.
He
doesn't
believe
in
forgiving
or
giving
second
chances,
he
wants
to
solve
the
problem
of
corruption
by
punishing
the
offenders
with
death.
This
leads
to
a
lot
of
bribe-taking
and
other
offenders
being
found
dead,
hanging
on
trees,
hoardings,
etc.
Performances:
Akshay
plays
the
role
of
the
self-claimed
law
enforcer
who
means
business
and
is
by
far
the
best
actor
who
could
have
essayed
this
character
on
screen.
On
watching
the
film,
you
shall
realize
that
no
other
Bollywood
actor
would
have
been
right
for
this
role
and
that
it
was
specially
scripted
and
drafted
for
our
Khiladi
Kumar.
His
understated
demeanor
delivers
massy
lines
that
have
the
power
to
sway
people
with
such
ease
and
conviction
that
you
feel
like
sitting
up
and
paying
attention
to
this
man
who
is
standing
on
a
car,
giving
an
arousing
speech
on
youth
power,
all
without
raising
his
voice.
Shruti
Haasan
is
seen
playing
the
role
of
a
lawyer
who
is
busy
drinking
coffee
and
romancing
Akshay
than
fighting
cases,
while
Kareena
Kapoor
looks
breathtaking
in
the
movie
and
nothing
more.
Rajat
Arora's
dialogues
prove
how
pen
is
mightier
than
the
sword.
His
dialogues
had
more
power
than
the
action
in
the
film.
Krish
for
a
change
decided
to
make
a
movie
that
puts
across
a
movie
with
the
subtlety
of
the
corruption
theme.
Not
overdoing
it
but
still
giving
it
a
massy
appeal
is
what
scored
for
Gabbar
Is
Back.
Sunil
Grover,
you
famously
know
as
Gutti
in
Comedy
Nights
With
Kapil
show,
has
essayed
his
role
of
asphyxiated
voice
of
nation
with
conviction.
Negatives:
Sandeep
Chowta's
background
score
gets
a
little
disturbing.
Suman,
the
main
villain,
has
stood
his
ground
in
front
of
Akshay
Kumar.
On
seeing
the
movie,
you
realize
how
Akshay
and
Suman
are
made
for
these
roles.
Gabbar
Is
Back
movie
has
been
conceptualized
and
made
pretty
darn
well.
It
may
get
loud,
it
may
get
too
flamboyant
for
it
to
seem
believable
but
in
a
country
like
ours,
you
can
never
convey
any
sensible
thing
by
being
subtle.
You
want
people
to
listen
to
you,
then
you
ought
to
be
loud!
Akshay's
brooding
character
is
what
will
remain
in
the
mind
when
you
are
walking
out
of
the
theater!
There
is
something
magical
and
serene
in
him
that
just
knocks
you
off
your
feet.
Our
country
needs
a
hero
like
this!
If
Narendra
Modi
is
on
the
lookout
for
a
sidekick,
then
Akshay
is
the
man!
Verdict:
Gabbar
Is
Back
packs
a
punch
with
Akshay
Kumar's
heavy-weight
dialogues
and
unabashed
massy
frames.
In
spite
of
being
a
remake
movie,
Gabbar
Is
Back
is
the
best
version
ever
made.
Watch
it
for
Akshay
and
the
viewers'
constant
whistles
in
the
theater
that
prove
why
it
must
be
watched.
