Gabbar Is Back Movie Review: Cliched But Ridiculously Entertaining
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.
Cast: Akshay Kumar, Sunil Grover, Shruti Haasan, Suman Talwar and Jaideep Ahlawat;
Director: Krish;
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.
Positives:
- 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.
