Bollywood Movie 'Dabangg' Review

Salman Khan's much-awaited movie, 'Dabangg' hit the theatres across the world today. As usual, Salman is fantastic in the movie and there is no doubt that 'Dabangg' lived up to the expectations of his fans.

The fans and critics have given thumbs up to 'Dabangg'. Salman will be relieved man that 'Dabangg' is all set to leave a big impression at the box office.

The film has generated much curiosity across the country. Salman fans have lined up at cinema halls and theatres since this morning to see their star rocking in 'Dabangg'.

'Dabangg' is based on rustic language, actions, the lead character’s love-hate relationship with his step-father and half-brother, have been nicely presented. Of course, Bollywood film will appear dull void of masala, thus, Dabangg is an old wine but packed in a brand new bottle, with Salman Khan.

The story revolves around (Salman) Chulbul aka Robinhood Pandey, a cop in Lalganj, Uttar Pradesh, who gives criminals hell but ensures he stands to personally gain from it. Simply, he is a fearless but corrupt police officer with unorthodox working methods in a lawless land.

The character Chulbul has gone through a bitter childhood. He lives with his step-father after his father passed away. His mother [Dimple Kapadia] married Prajapati Pandey [Vinod Khanna]. Together, they had a son Makhanchan [Arbaaz Khan].

Audiences may be aware of the fact of step-father or step-mother, so this is natural for Chulbul to make detachment with them and but he is completely attached to his mother. Afterward, the attitude towards his steps was changed because of his mother.

The life gets turned after Rajo [Sonakshi Sinha] came into the cop's life. Chulbul starts to see life more positively with human emotions and sentiments and realizes the value of a family. But the climax to be best watched in the theatres to get involved into the movie.

The movie 'Dabangg' boasts of sweet and dancing songs portraying Malaika Arora Khan, though It is difficult to manage music in an action film. But Sajid-Wajid have come up with a melodious score with the title track, 'Tere mast mast do nain' and 'Munni Badnaam Hui' are being played everywhere.

Debutante director-writer Abhinav Kashyap has combined elements with a Bollywood flavor to make it more enjoyable and justifying the title of the move 'Dabangg' (Fearless). Mahesh Limaye's cinematography looks perfect accompanying the dialogues. Especially one dialogue, 'Itne chhed karunga' delivered by Salman is fantastic.

Finally Sonakshi Sinha looks fresh, acts so confidently that the pair's difference in age will never make a full stop for doing movies together again. She has brought all the freshness into the movie with her acting skill. Like Amitabh Bachchan in the character Vijay, Shah Rukh Khan in Raj, Salman Khan is fir into the name Chulbul Pandey with an absolute delight.
