A remake of the 2002 Tamil film Ramanaa, 'Gabbar is Back' is A Full-On Masala Entertainer! Its not an amazing film, but an engaging watch, nonetheless. Here's a film that's sure to work big time with the masses!
'Gabbar is Back' Synopsis: A grief-stricken man takes the law into his own hands when he begins to kidnap and murder corrupt public servants.
'Gabbar is Back' is high on entertainment & that honestly, does the trick. Sure, there are flaws here. The second-hour does get a bit tedious & the dialogue are unintentionally funny at times, but overall, this commercial pot-boiler hits higher on pluses than on minuses.
The storyline is simple, but the treatment is crisp & interesting. The protagonist's journey to punish the evil within our society, has moments of power. I'd like to single out that terrific sequence at a hospital in the first-hour & also the nicely done climax, which delivers a message with honesty.
Rajat Arora's Adapted Screenplay moves on a very fast-pace & offers some great moments. But, the second-hour isn't as good as the first-hour. Its a bit tedious & acts as a deterrent in the narrative. Even some of the dialogue, are unintentionally funny. Krish's Direction is pretty decent. Cinematography could've been better. Editing is pretty tight. Action-Sequences are excellent. Music by Various Artists, is alright.
Performance-Wise: Akshay Kumar as Gabbar, is in serious from. Its so good to see the superstar donning a part, that we often don't see him in. He enacts the protagonist with admirable conviction. Shruti Haasan is wasted. Sunil Grover is a pleasant surprise here. The TV phenomena essays an important part with great energy. Suman Talwar, as the antagonist, is loud. Jaideep Ahlawat is first-rate. Ishita Vyas is sincere in a brief role. Kareena Kapoor Khan & Chitrangda Singh appear in cameos.
On the whole, 'Gabbar is Back' has the potential to become a winner commercially. Go, have fun!

MAIN HOON GABBAR
Story of movie is quite good.. But not the direction.. It could be made better..but that better doesn't earn much from it.. Its a typical bollywood directed movie.. few songs with item no... It gives a great message..and of course..Akshay is fabulous in his role.. Although a much better movie ca be made with this good story.. Action of movie is up top.. But if you like bollywood masala movie..then its for you.. i'm little disappointed with he direction of movie..but overall its a good movie..don't judge this on direction scale..see the message in the movie.. and we love akshay as gabbar..he proved that he is one of the finest actor in bollywood.
Saw #GabbarIsBack in single screen. I swear it was a thunderous experience. People were clapping and whistling and all. Nothing new in the content, it has action romance emotions comedy message and great dialogue's. If you loved Singham, Rowdy Rathore, Dabangg then you Just Cannot miss #Gabbar its a Typical Masala muvie with great message. There is one Hospital scene before the intermission which is EPIC. THAT scene is beyond exceptional. Akshay Kumar as usual is Brilliant. Classic performance by him. Sunil Grover(Guthi) is impressive. Shruti Hasan looks hot. Kareena Kapoor looks beautiful in her cameo (Teri Meri Kahani) Chitrangda is quite seductive in Kundi mat. Overall a good entertainer and this can be the first movie of 2015 to cross 100 crore. Go watch and enjoy.
What sets "Gabbar is Back" apart in the genre is its unabashedly massy tone. Here is a film about a man who decides to take charge of a social order on the brink of anarchy when all the formal faculties fail. He doesn't believe in reprimanding the corrupt. He believes in punishing them with death. Yup, this Gabbar means business. And to the character's good fortune, he is played by the very watchable Akshay Kumar. For my money and time, Akshay is by far the most complete star-actor package among contemporary A-lister heroes in Bollywood. With due respect, none of the other A-lister superstars of Bollywood have the power to sway the masses with idealistic rhetoric. It's in his eyes. Akshay makes you sit up and listen without raising his voice. Shruti Haasan, who plays a lawyer, doesn't have much to contribute. She pouts perfectly and has an unhealthy dependence on Google search. Her introductory scene in which she swoops in to deliver a baby in the backseat of Gabbar's car based on her internet research (long story
has no particular relevance to the film) is roll-your-eyes funny. Kareena Kapoor Khan in her role as Gabbar's first love isn't a knock-out portrayal, but the good news is that she just had a song cameo and was freed from mouthing any corny lines. Despite everything, the film survives to tell-a-tale that is relevant today. 'Gabbar Is Back' knocks the bottom off the action genre with a breathless ode to Swachh Bharat. P.S.
