Plot:

Aditya (Akshay Kumar) is an extremely righteous professor who dreams of creating awareness among the youth and making them ‘doers’ instead of being ‘watchers’ to the rotten system of corruption. He is a professor at National College, which seems more like a hypothetical college where no police can enter. Aditya along with a team of his students who have now branched out of college and are placed in various government organizations chalks out a plan to erase the top-most corrupt officials. Calling himself as Gabbar, Aditya kidnaps Tehsildars, Collectors, PWD official and even a police official and kills them. Of course, no man with a clean past would voluntarily take up such a cause of teaching the

Summary of the movie:

The canvas unfolds in Maharashtra where the system is so rotten that the doctors perform operations on a dead body, so that they could extract money from worried relatives. There are hardly any government officials who don’t take pride in receiving bribe; in fact they consider it equivalent to some badge of honour. Police officers are busy eating ‘samosas’ while politicians are just saving their chairs.

As expected, a commoner rears his head to stand up to all this. but treading the conventional path is not his style, so he decides to use a cult film character to his benefit. Adopting a fictional name like Gabbar suits his modus operandi and blankets his real identity.

But, this is not as simple as it looks from the outset because it’s not a physical war anymore and there are many hurdles in making it an ideological struggle. Will Gabbar be able to pull off an unimaginable victory or will he fall victim to the ruthless system? Even if he wins, will he not be criticised for his radical choices?

Probably we are posing too cerebral questions to a film that thrives on grand action sequences and whistle-worthy dialogues. When initial credit sequence announces Gabbar’s arrival with this line:Bure kaam ka bura nateeja, sun bhai saale kahe tera jeeja, you more or less understand what to expect from it. Rajat Arora, the man behind the hugely popular dialogues of The Dirty Picture and Once Upon A Time In Mumbaai, introduces the motive of the protagonist via one easy statement: Naam se villain, kaam se hero. This could well be the one-line brief of Akshay’s character in the film.

So, once it’s established that Gabbar is out there to save the society, the director decides to make things difficult for him by presenting a police department which is too busy making fun of a driver who speaks English and is more efficient than most officers. Determined to unmask the face behind Gabbar’s name, this constable (Sunil Grover) is soon joined by a high profile CBI officer (Jaideep Ahlawat), but their investigation remains rudderless in the absence of a common thread. A new player enters the game at this juncture who is bound to fetch Gabbar’s attention. This businessman Digvijay Patil (Suman Talwar) ups the ante by several notches and also reveals Gabbar’s past which was carefully hidden from the world. Will these disclosures present Gabbar in a new light?

The film’s screenplay has flaws but its pace covers up for most of the glitches. Gabbar Is Back attains the right tempo from the very first sequence where simultaneous kidnappings leave Maharashtra disturbed. Unlike 2002 Tamil film Ramanaa (Gabbar Is Back’s inspiration), this one doesn’t take many shots in introducing the love angle between Akshay Kumar and Shruti Haasan. They sing, dance and get done with the basics of the heroine’s work in this film. Here onwards, it strictly becomes a one-man show, and that man rises up to the occasion. And then who cares if a lawyer is helping in a child’s delivery inside a car or a mere businessman is able to wreak havoc in the city.

From showcasing physics’ importance in a common man’s life in five simple steps to mouthing wisecracks like ‘System bachchon kediaper jaisa ho gaya hai…kahin se gila aur kahin se dheela’, Akshay Kumar just steals the thunder in most of the scenes. His hand-to-hand combat will remind you of his earlier Khiladi days where he used to bulldoze a barricade of 20 guys with just one kick. And, where these things don’t work, his lethal comic timing comes to aide.

Superb part of the movie is obviously dialogues like :

1. Sabke Karam Saamne Aayenge, Woh Kya Hai Na Karma Rishwat Nahi Leta.

2. Pachaas Pachaas Kos Dur Jabh Koi Rishwat Leta Hai, Toh Sabh Kehte Hain Mat Le Varna, GABBAR Aa Jaaega.

3. Is Baar Haath Nahi Saath Chahiye

4. Gabbar Ke Taap Se Tumhe Ek Hi Aadmi Bacha Sakta Hai... Ek Hi Aadmi... Khud Gabbar

Review: (star performance wise):

This film is all about Akshay Kumar. He rules the character from the first frame itself. Any other person being cast for this role would have made it a flop remake. Akshay’s voice truly enthralls the audience when he speaks as Gabbar. This vigilante is not just hot but hot-headed too. Gabbar Ke Taap Se Tumhe Ek Hi Aadmi Bacha Sakta Hai.. Khud Gabbar!

After Akshay if there is someone else who is extremely impressive in the film is Sunil Grover. He pulls off the role of simplistic Sadhu with full might. Forget Gutthi, Sunil Grover needs to do much more roles like Sadhu.

Jaideep Ahlawat fails to impress in his role. I wonder why he looks so lost in spite of being a wonderful actor. For me, his role of Shahid Khan in Gangas Of Waaseypur was epic and he certainly will not top that with characters like these.

Shruti Haasan tries to be the bubbly heroine but well, her character is a yawn fest. She is still at the same place where we left her in Ramaiya Vastavaiya and the girl needs to step up and work some magic now.

Suman Talwar as Digvijay Patil is the usual South villain. I would have preferred if he was little meaner and had a better introductory line than ‘Digvijay Patil Ek Brand Hai’.

Kareena Kapoor in her cameo lights up the screen with her glamour. She is a sight on that big screen.
