Saheb Biwi Aur Gangster Returns

The first movie was great in all its glory. Now, the sequel just makes the series a must-see. Irrfan Khan is so fabulous in SBAG that all other actors fall below. Jimmy Shergill & Mahie Gill are equally talented and perform very well. Soha Ali Khan is average moreover her portrayal did not amuse me.

The type of thriller this, might look clichéd to some, but the final stages of the second half are truly magnificent. From the time it hits the interval, the plot gets gripping and you shouldn't miss a single sequence, because the screenplay is ballistic, direction is professional and cinematography is pure. Had the music been extravagant, I would have rated it 10. Now, even if you haven't watched the predecessor, this one will mar you with Tigmanshu's forte which is filming in a neo-urban style.

SBAG is a must watch this March, because such a powerful movie hasn't been released before in 2013 and well, the previous week's releases were too gaudy. Special appreciation for Mahi's bold look and Jimmy's glamorous avatar. This one is no simple cinema as it will make you think and growl towards the end.

BOTTOM LINE: 100% recommended if you love pure performances.

After Going through all the reviews in IMDb i felt i need to write review for this movie. I can bet that those people giving it less than 8 rating don't know what to watch in a movie. They just want an actor to go 'Dhishum Dhishum' and 'Tathaiya Tathaiya' and no acting. Well let me make it clear that I am an Irrfan Khan fan, so some may find my review biased but believe me, this movie deserves all the praises. Coming to this movie-

Direction,Story and Screenplay- Hats off to Tingmanshu Dhulia for making this one better than first part. Intelligently written script with unpredictable plots, so unlikely bollywood. The entire movie will keep people guessing what will happen next. Kept me wondering what will happen next.

Acting- Irrfan Khan steals the show as 'Gangster'. Superb acting by this veteran actor. I don't wonder why this man is successful in Bollywood as well as in Hollywood, and not any other bollywood star. Mahie Gill is an intelligent actor and displayed why she is called so in this movie. Very well played role of 'Drunkard Biwi'. Jimmy Shergill also did a wonderful job as 'Saheb'. Soha Ali Khan finally learned acting and didn't let it down.

Overall- A wonderful movie that one should watch in theater. But Irrfan Khan steals the show. And the End is too unpredictable and awesome. Worth all the money.

'Saheb Biwi Aur Gangster Returns' is a fine woven drama in pure Tigmanshu Dhulia's style and definitely a must watch. The screenplay is humorous, serious, erotic, revengeful & dramatic at the same time. The first half of the movie is good, though second half loses its momentum. The climax is little bit unexpected and should be, neither it would have been just a remake of its first part 'Saheb Biwi Aur Gangster'. O.o

You'll feel that you are watching some old classic cinema in between the modern gangsterism. Good performance by all, i.e. Jimmy Sheirgill, Mahie Gill, Irrfan Khan, Soha Ali Khan, but one more time Irrfan is the best. Hats off the writer(Again Tigmanshu) for the super fabulous dialogues, you cannot easily forget them like me. ;)

Be aware it's not 'High speed Bullet train' but a 'Tamancha on Bicycle' ; so commercial movie viewers, please stay away.

Rating is above average but not more than 7 due to a few weak scenes. :)

The sequel returns with powerful punch Lines and Dialogues. Yet again Brilliance of director (also story,screenplay and dialogue writer) Tigmanshu Dhulia.Man abuse more because they don't cry,You have become so cheap i don't even have change to give you these kind of punch lines are soul of movie. Rest is just another power and sex oriented thriller.

Though its a delightful watch "Saheb Biwi Aur Gangster returns" could have been another class if editing was bit tighter. In between it seem dragging on screen while difficult to keep track of who is with whom and what's their purpose with their flipping loyalties. The relation between "Saheb and Biwi" is still unfathomable. When love becomes hate and when hate becomes love is enigma to decipher (Yet I believe such relation exists). Everything else just circle around power, politics and vendetta.

Jimmy Shergill (Saheb) and Irfan Khan (Indrajit Singh) doing their best as a central characters. Mahie Gill (Biwi) good but sometimes irritating with her tone and overdoing. Rest did their part. And one more thing I liked in both parts is back-ground scores. The score which was played before building of certain situations was pleasure to listen and provided some different feeling.

Verdict : 7.5/10 For Keeping conversations deadly but missing out bit of crisp editing.

Didn't watch the 1st part, but picked this up based on some gud reviews online. And the movie was really well made, no big stars in the cast (Irfan is a star now, but one who still accepts characters that offer good scope for acting, hence getting his nod for Dhigmanshu dhulia wasn't a challenge i believe & also after Paan Singh Tomar's success), all the stars chosen based on their acting skills and their ability to do gud movies.

No lag anywhere, right from beginning to end, there are many twists & turns which kept me riveted to my seat.

Jimmy Sherfill does well as the king who still is still trying to control things in his area, along with his trusted body guard 'kannayya' who also does a gud job.

Of course Irfan Khan rocks, his dialogue delivery is stunning, also thanks to the writers. Same with Jimmy Shergill, his punches owe their credit to the writers again.

Raj Babbar also does a gud job.

I highly recommend this movie to everybody if you want to watch a gud movie with a wonderful cast, gud writing and thrilling at the same time.
