Friday - 10th of September, I heard about people strikingly booming in the theatres watching – Dabbang!! Being a biggest movie freak, couldn’t stop myself watching it ASAP. I saw (rather enjoyed at peak) it yesterday and here it is about fiercely, sternly and brilliantly executed “GOOD vs BAD” saga of CHULBUL PANDEY.
Lately I saw WANTED as powerful hit with hard hitting impacts and Now it’s DABAANG! Well to scribble it in short – DABAANG reveals STAR POWER of SALMAAN at highest the ways it has in WANTED. Some may/may not agree with me – but this 2:00 hours could never be what they are if SALMAAN KHAN is not starring it. There’s no doubt with this ultimate entertainer – SALMAAN supremacy is utterly intact as of AAMIR and SRK.
Plot (Those who have not seen can ignore Plot):
DABANGG is a story of Chulbul Pandey [Salman Khan], a LION king but corrupt police officer with unconventional styles of working with the criminals. Movie starts with 2 brothers Chulbul and Makhanchan[Arbaaz Khan] having bitter childhood. Chulbul’s father is no more and thus Makkhanchan is step brother, after his mother [Dimple Kapadia] married to Prajapati Pandey [Vinod Khanna].
Prajapati favors Makhanchan, which Chulbul simply does not like and go with. He decides to take work his way and separates himself from his step-father and brother. His only concerned for is his mother.
Rajo [Sonakshi Sinha], comes into his life accidently and he falls in love with him. Chulbul marries her and realizes the value of family, wanting back his father and brother. But Cheddi Singh [Sonu Sood] a cruel politician is against the way Chulbul works against his people and deceives money of him. This results into putting one brother (Makkhanchan) against the other (Chulbul).
When Makhanchan realizes he has been used, he turns to Chulbul and Chulbul takes on it to revenge SAGA!!
My view:
Frankly – such stories have been in Bollywood again and again in past and this is simply a repetition. What ultimately works for this 2:00 hours are - Immense dose of light moments which sticks to SALMAAN’s personality like a Glue, engineering action with South touch and one in ALL – SALMAAN throughout movie. In fact - movie collects highest points with Stylist Action with brilliant execution (hats up to S.Vijayan). Music is strictly Okays. Truly speaking – songs puts breaks to accelerated Roller costar ride during first half. However light punches on screen during songs are well picturized, works well and keeps smile on the faces. Soundtracks “Munni Badnaam hui” as well as “Tere Mast Mast Do Nain” have already good response at the music stands before release and they works on display too. Title track works as flashing blaze. First half of the movie simply introduces characters with outstanding screening and immense of humor. Background music scores at highest level especially during actions.
The second half is when story reveals itself and Revenge saga starts and ends with supremely. The climax is sure to send scores of action lovers in frenzy, as SALMAAN bashes the evil forces.
ON the flip side – This movie could have better effect with cutting down 1-3 songs. Excessive Editing is good to cut down movie, however at few instances it results into abrupt increase of speed.
Performances:
Salmaan Khan: Again and Again – SALMAAN is the MASS of the DABAANG. Salman is like a ferocious lion who roars with all his might. The show belongs to THE LION, who scorches the screen every time he displays the manic anger.He enacts ruling hand over attitude,humor and emotions at places too. This is his deadliest performance to date. Without doubt, Salman empowers DABAANG from all directions.
Sonakshi Sinha: She is good looking, well characterized and well talented as well. In short, her performance simply works well for this movie though it's little part against Salmaan.
Sonu sud: Sonu sud is excellent as Villain and performs his part with good marks.
Vinod Khanna and Arbaaz khan are okay with performances. Dimple Kapadia is good as SALMAAN’s mom and enacts effectively her part, though very short. Om Puri, Mahesh manjrekar and Anupam kher are wasted talents. They are outstanding actors but just don’t get scope. I must say - wrong choices for them.
Final Verdict:
This movie is the Jackpot for all the Diehard fans of Salmaan. Go – Laugh – Applaud - Clap – Whistle and jump for Salmaan!! Salmaan’s fan gonna get more than expectations for sure.
Ratings:
Movie is candidly about 3 / 5 – but Salmaan’s presence excellently lifts it to 4 / 5
