Gabbar is Back
Tags: good versus evil

Plot synopsis:
The police get information that 10 tehsildars across Maharashtra have been mysteriously kidnapped. But they are mysteriously returned – except the most corrupt officer, who is hanged in public. The police get a CD from mystery man 'Gabbar' who says his mission is to target corrupt officers. Police driver Sadhuram (Sunil Grover) is convinced that he can crack the mystery of who is Gabbar – but his superior officers humiliate and insult him in front of all the other officers.
On his way home, Professor Aditya Singh Rajput (Akshay Kumar) is stopped by lawyer Shruti (Shruti Haasan), who makes him drive her and a pregnant woman to the hospital, but the woman delivers in the car with Shruti's help. When Shruti wants to thank Aditya for helping her, she finds he has already left. Sadhuram finds from the tehsil to the district offices that there's one honest officer in each department. He is convinced that all these honest officers have a link to Gabbar. Shruti and Aditya become close and one day, she gets hit by a scooter and Aditya takes her to Patil Hospital. Although not badly injured, doctors at Patil Hospital insist on taking expensive tests and Aditya realizes how helpless patients and their families are fleeced and often, inhumanly treated. A poor woman mourns her deceased husband in the civil hospital nearby. Aditya tells her he'll get her medical insurance. He deliberately checks in her dead husband as a patient to Patil Hospital. The hospital tries to swindle money out of Aditya by pretending to treat the already dead man, making Aditya pay heavily for tests and medicines. Aditya then shows them the death certificate, which proves that they knowingly admitted a dead man. The young owner of the hospital, Vikas Patil is furious when Aditya releases the video of the hospital's corruption to the media. However, Vikas is brutally and mercilessly murdered by an angry mob. His father, a powerful builder Digvijay Patil (Suman Talwar), sees Aditya in the hospital CCTV footage and is stunned to realize that this is the same man he had supposedly killed five years ago.
Aditya and Shruti attend a wedding where Aditya remembers his late wife Sunaina (Kareena Kapoor Khan) and how they moved into a new apartment when they were expecting a baby. While Aditya was outside playing Holi, the buildings in the colony collapsed and killed hundreds of people, including his wife and unborn child. Aditya collected proof of the faulty buildings against builder Digivijay Patil, but Patil bribed everyone and no one was willing to hear Aditya out. Digvijay tried to bribe Aditya by offering Rs one crore to spare the matter but Aditya spurned the offer and beat Digvijay severely but the latter attacked him with an axe and thought his blows had killed Aditya. However, a bus full of medical students found the unconscious Aditya on a highway and save his life. He then decides to use the power of young, idealistic, honest youth and trains students at National College to join his cause. Meanwhile, Sadhuram finds out that all the honest officers attended National College for graduation. Shruti finds out Aditya as Gabbar and is shocked but when he tells her the truth, she supports his cause.
CBI officer Kuldeep Pahwa (Jaideep Ahlawat) takes charge of the case and is mystified by the facts. He listens to Sadhuram's findings and they arrest National College students. But even upon being beaten, the students do not divulge anything about Gabbar. Shruti tells Kuldeep that because the law doesn't work, a vigilante like Gabbar is a hero for ordinary citizens today. Sadhuram changes his view of Gabbar. Patil kills an honest officer to terrorize others into passing his faulty building plans. The cops are sure that Gabbar will target Patil for this outrageous act – and he does. Patil throws a birthday party for himself at his farmhouse. As he cuts the cake, he spots Aditya in the crowd. The next moment, Aditya and his gang kidnap him, all wearing similar masks. As police search the city for Patil in vain, Aditya takes him to Patil's own mansion and tells him to call anyone to save himself – but the Home Minister tells him to not involve him, so that Gabbar doesn't come after him next. Aditya and Patil then have a violent clash and he kills Patil.
Aditya goes to the police to hand himself over for the murders. He is given the death penalty but there are huge public protests and enraged students block his jail van. Officer Pahwa requests him to speak to the students and he does, telling them to channel their anger against corruption and be the change society needs. As Aditya is taken to be hanged, Shruti breaks down, but he leaves, smiling, asking the hangman, Tera kya hoga, Kaalia- quoting the famous dialogue of the character Gabbar from the film Sholay.

Review: Akshay Kumar is in top form & gives a memorable power packed performance, Shruti is good too, Sunil Grover surprises with a superb act, Jaideep & Suman has done a great job in their roles.
Direction by Krish is very good, he has shown Akshay Kumar as GABBAR in the best way.
The Action is so real that u can feel the punches & kicks & Akshay Kumar have performed the Action scenes effortlessly at this age.So, if you are a fan of good cinema then This GABBAR will make you Happy with his take on corruption.MAIN HOON GABBAR.
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.
This is a story of Aditya/Gabbar (Akshay Kumar), a lawyer's assistant and the hero's romantic interest Shruti (Shruti Haasan), a lowly but ambitious constable Sadhuram (Sunil Grover), a swaggering CBI officer Kuldeep Pahwa (Jaideep Ahlawat) and a villainous real estate tycoon Digvijay Patil (Suman Talwar).In era of HNY, KICK like nonsensical movies, we have some of these gems.

Action is OTT but looks good played by Akshay.Overall, GIB is a convincing movie with a storyline that would connect audience and that's where it hits bulls' eye.
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.
Gabbar is back is an action film with a social theme.But if you compare this film with previous Akki's social action films like Holiday and Baby then it is inferior to them.The theme of the movie is noble but its presentation is weak.The biggest problem here is the impuissant and predictable plot which has not been developed nicely.The movie raises the topic of corruption but the script of this movie itself is corrupt and heavily borrows from various movies of the genre.The script is not good enough to sustain this movie and its serious and thought provoking content.The plot also contains some loopholes.Still the entertainment quotient of the film is high,so it manages to engage you for 2 hours.The scene in the hospital,kidnapping of villain etc.
are some scene which has been executed nicely.Akshay is a dynamite and if you want to know why then just watch this movie.His look and dialogue delivery is unblemished.He looks very agile in action scenes and due to his friskiness the beyond belief action sequences looks so persuasive and reliable.Shruti dances well but has nothing to do in this movie.Kareena is unexceptional in a small cameo.Sunil grover was superb.I liked his acting as he acts so believably.Jaideep was ordinary.Suman does the same things he had done before.Direction of the movie is nothing special and is ordinary.While watching the movie,i felt like i am watching a dubbed south Indian movie.Music of the film is good.The item song is sizzling.Action choreography is awesome as the action sequences are very good.Editing is also good.If a little attention was paid to the script,then the movie would have been more sharper and tenser.The climax of the movie looks like a forced one.Still the movie manages to convey the message to the audience while not being too preachy.Gabbar is nothing new but is passable flick due to its well choreographed action scenes,Akshay's amazing acting and its fast paced screenplay.If you are a fan of Akki then its a MUST WATCH for you.Otherwise its just an above average action flick which is a treat for mas-ala and hardcore action lovers.The movie was supposed to be a hard hitting social drama but fizzles due to its feeble writing.6.3 out of 10 is enough..
a very entertaining movie with a powerful message.i would recommend this movie to all the people i know.the story is 10/10.acting is 10/10.i just skipped some of the songs xD.the looks and the sound of gabbar was well chosen the girls also was dressed up well.
The good news is Gabbar Is Back , though follows the trend of 90's potboilers which comprises of action, melodrama , routine song and dance, has right intention with raw-punching dialogues, commendable action scenes and of course Akshaye Kumar.Gabbar ( Akshay Kumar) is a fearless social activist with depressing past who bumps off corrupted elements of the society to bring justice to the innocent and helpless peopleFirst time director in Hindi cinema , Krish gives a popcorn masala entertainment with a good message.
I was tired of watching Akshay Kumar's tiring comedy movies but I can happily say that after some non sense movies like HNY, you get to see a movies full of action, lovely music, awesome dialogue delivery and Sunil Grover as Constable Sadhu PERFECT he was more like a detective then a cop he worked every detail of this case like he was investigating from every single angle.
After watching and loving Akshay Kumar's performance in BABY get to see him in a good serious role as GABBAR at total Paisa Vasool Masala Movie everything is perfect.
Akshay Kumar is indubitably the undisputed king of 'zimbly' south remakes which have been raking in the dough in Bollywood.And producer like Sanjay Leela Bhansali who tasted a giant dash of success with Rowdy Rathore,leaves no stone unturned to make his venture a money spinner with the action star in the lead.With a title that alludes to Bollywood's most remembered antagonist, this film stages the dashing Kumar as an undercover vigilante, punishing the corrupt officials in our society.A remake of the 2002 Tamil super-hit film Ramanna, Gabbar is back's premise feels a bit outdated mostly because of its semblance with films like Ungli and Kick.Here is a common man with a death wish, who is remorselessly wronged by the establishment.
Akshay is professor Aditya in the daylight who teaches his student the five forces (and applies them on the goons too!) and the elusive Gabbar in the dark who punishes the bribe seekers to death.As he tag-lines his name himself " Naam Villain Ka, Kaam hero ka",Gabbar has an efficient underground army who kidnap the corrupt guys from every department , causing a predictable unrest among the policemen.In his long drawn modus to reform the system, Gabbar locks horns with a very powerful industrialist,Digvijay(Suman Talwar) who apparently has a notion that he is a big brand and can manipulate anybody and anything.Director Krish forays into Hindi cinema and crafts 'Gabbar' with all the solid ingredients of a commercial potboiler, but everything about the movie feels a lot exaggerated.The back-story which involves the gorgeous looking Kareena with only a song sequence lacks the emotional punch and the constant bullying of Sunil Grover, who does a sincere job, by his seniors is overwhelming.Equally disappointing is the way in which the leading lady, Shruti Haasan is positioned a dim-wit lawyer who spends half of her time rattling off google trivia.Yet, its a decent fare constantly watchable because of its leading hero,Akshay, and his inimitable energy and persona.Though he looks bit exhausted with that salt-n-pepper beard, the clap-trap one-liners(Rajat Arora) do the trick.Each dialogue is a punchline, paying homage to the cult character of Sholay.Another shortcoming is the strong counterpoint that Gabbar's nemesis , played by Suman Talwar , fails to offer.Challenged by the script, he doesn't exude the menacing vibe that Akshay needed to combat.The treatment obviously resonates a highly outrageous and impragmatic solution, and the message that it disseminates is risky to fathom.It is okay if you don't take them very seriously and enjoy it as a classy masala flick.Fans of Akki - this one is for you !
This action movie show you a great powerful massage which is how government is bad and how Gabbar hate corruption ,deviation,cant and bribe .and how much he like to spread peace and love in the country.
Akshay Kumar's Gabbar feels very much like the popular and loved Rajanikanth movies, where he finds and punishes corrupt people in unique and enjoyable to watch, ways.
I loved and enjoyed watching this blockbuster movie very happily and a lot It's entertaining with a strong powerful message about getting rid and handling all the corruption systems that is happening most of times good songs good acting I liked there is a lot of comedy a lot action akshay Kumar yet delivers a another powerful performance shruti Hassan is perfect in her character other artists done well Sunil is funny as always I rate it 4/5 or 8/10.
Following a 13 years old hit (RAMANAA/2002) revolving around the same 'all seen before' crusade against corruption in films such as HINDUSTANI, A Wednesday, HOLIDAY, JAI HO, UNGLI and many more, GABBAR IS BACK has nothing fresh in the name of subject matter and thus isn't able to win over the viewers wholeheartedly as Akshay's SPECIAL 26 or BABY.
Moreover using the name of the most famous villain of Hindi cinema in its title and main dialogues, the team simply tries to make a fool of their audiences gaining some instance attention since the project has nothing to do whatsoever with the evil dacoit of SHOLAY and his infamous persona.GABBAR IS BACK begins with a few kidnappings shown in its opening sequences only giving you a feeling of 'Deja-Vu' as something similar seen before in Akshay's HOLIDAY (that was also written by A.
In other words, the absurd insertions keep coming one after another without caring about the logic, but the tightly written script progressing at a good pace with a pulsating background score doesn't let you raise a question putting it honestly.Not treating its women well, the film has a completely silly role given to Shruti Hassan which she also chooses to perform half- heartedly and then we have the cameo of stunning Kareena Kapoor who is strangely there to provide more glamour and not any (much needed) emotional support to the film playing the victim lady.
Summing up, GABBAR IS BACK directed by Krish (from South) has an okay cinematography, clever editing, some powerful dialogues and an uplifting background score, collectively pointing towards a relevant theme of corruption with all noble intentions and two key performances to enjoy.
But since its content matter more or less remains the same with nothing fresh or innovative to offer lacking a lot on the logical grounds, the film doesn't turn out to be anything more than a one- time watch and that too preferably in a single screen theater to have a better entertaining experience.Besides the fact to be considered seriously is that since the 80s, films have been made featuring a personal mission undertaken against the corrupt system, but this demon of corruption is still haunting us all with no major change seen in the last few decades.
The movie could have been a lot better if the direction,Screenplay,Cinematography was taken care of.The characters sometime acts too filmy.It's difficult to connect with reality at times.Akshay's Dialogues, is the Backbone of this film.Since there's No one that could pull off "Gabbar" like Amjad Khan.
It Has its moments....Both Good and Bad. This movie is an unrealistic piece of work which marks the debut of Krish in the bollywood film industry.I found Shruti Hasan annoying But the way Akshay Kumar and other youngsters act is Truly appreciable.
In future, we hope to see more of this talented actor in film roles.The issue of corruption is tackled in a commercial yet topical manner.The action scenes leave a strong impact and the climax is good.The editing and cinematography suits the nature of the film.The movie is largely entertaining, fast-paced, and flows well.Krish, the big shot South Indian director, who makes his Bollywood debut with Gabbar is Back, does a decent job of bringing all aspects of the story together without losing its pace.
It is a commendable effort to keep the essence of the original Tamil film while managing to adapt it to Bollywood tastes so that the context doesn't feel too alien for the Hindi speaking audience.NegativesThe music and Shruti Haasan are the biggest disappointments.Suman Talwar is monotonous as the lead villain and doesn't bring anything new to the film.The production design gives the film a dated appearance.The dialogues are quite bland and invoke a sense of 90's Bollywood potboilers.ConclusionMust-watch if you're an Akshay Kumar fan, and love commercial entertainers.
It is a Bollywood film with a good message and anyone who is a true fan of hero movies, 80's action movies, guy movies will like it.I wanted to rate it a 10, but I settled on 9.
Akshay Kumar really did amazing job, I just can't stopping this film again and again, this movie is emotional too, I was in tears in the last scene...
"50-50 kaus Dur jab koi rishwat Leta hai, to sab kehte hai, Mat Le, Warna GABBAR AA Jayega!!!" With some rowdy action scenes and clap worthy dialogues, GabbarIsBack, starring Akshay Kumar & directed by Krish, has been released today.
Overall A Good Movie With New Concept But It MUST Have Been Made More Sensible, Connecting And Appealing.....#AlwaysAnAKKIFan. Being A Die Hard Akshay Kumar Fan, You Expect A Good Fighting Sequence From His Movies With Good Punching Dialogues And Everything Else, Especially After Seeing His Previous Two Films- Baby And Holiday...Gabbar Contains A Good Story Line With Good Actors And Good Direction, Only Two Songs In Movie Which Is Very Rare For An Indian Movies, Also The Affection Everyone Can Feel Throughout The Movie, The Rage Audience Feels During Some Good Anti-Corruption Sequences And Way Gabbar Treats The Corrupt People May Seems Little Offending But Its The New Way Of Disagreeing With What You Oppose, Well The Most Often, Also The Ideas Are Very Nicely Summed Up The Concept Of Everyone Following The Gabbar...On The Other Hand, The Villain Portrayed As Larger Than Life Character, Scenes Have Been Manufactured Rather Than Created, Continuity Should Have Been There Between Each Scenes....
The movie could have been better if Overacting done by Shruti Hassan, and Akshay Kumar {at some scenes} balanced.
R. Murugadoss's Tamil Action Drama film Ramanaa, Gabbar Is Back entertains even under the direction of Krish.Akshay Kumar is fabulous.
There are 2-3 songs which felt completely unnecessary.In the end, Gabbar is Back is a totally formulaic film, which will be liked by audience preferring so called 'masala' entertainment not caring much about the script.
I just watched this movie after seeing the rating on IMDb.I got bored in first 10 min.The story is predictable & awful.If you are planning to watch this movie my suggestion is don't watch.I have no idea how this movie earned more than 100 crores.There is no sense of the movie.All behaves like idiots.Akshay kumar's acting is same like any other movie.Shruti hassan doesn't make any sense and kareena kapoor comes for an awful song.Don't believe the other reviews.I have no idea why people like this movie.Save your time and watch something else.Don't even download this movie from torrent.Save your internet and download something else.Still i am thinking how can someone like this movie.AWFUL.....
The movie can be described as motivating with a good story-line completely wrapped with the same old unneeded masala, such as dialogs with purposeless echoes, traditional and non-essential item song, single man fighting with ten or more goons at the same time and winning, dream song sequence, etc.I personally feel that this story could have been told in a lot, lot better way, but for Akshay Kumar fans, the movie can be seen in Theater, because he has done justice with the character.
Awesome movie.The lesson from this movie is superb that attracted me.At this time,world needs these type of messiahs.Corruption needs to be punished.It gives a great message and of course,Akshay is fabulous in his role.Although a much better movie could be made with this good story.Action of movie is up top.Fabulous performances, awesome dialogues, & good music.
GABBAR IS BACK- From start it was clear that the concept would be good as the movie was a remake of south Indian film which although i haven't seen but had been directed by A R Murgadass who always makes conceptual movies.
As a result we get a movie which would look totally a South Indian flick if Akshay Kumar was not playing the lead role.
To start with, it's a remake of a Tamil movie Ramanna and although have not watched Ramanna, I can simply say Krish (the director of Gabbar is back) has done a pretty good job here.From introductory song till the end it is full masala movie with lot of entertainment value.
Performances: 1) Akshay as Gabbar what can I say, the movie seems to be written looking at him.
Even though I enjoy Akshay's comic roles, since the last couple of years he has been on fire with punching and kicking his best action packed powers, for a full on paisa vasool treat, for entertainment starved souls of Bollywood, stomaching the required box office belly of returns.Sanjay Leela Bhansali productions - Gabbar Singh played by Amjad Khan in Ramesh Sippy's evergreen classic 'Sholay' with the stingy and dirty corruption to stage an escapist action packed entertainer that successfully rolls in the crowd pleasing 'dialogue' - to change the 'deadly' corruption.It is based on the 2002 Tamil hit 'Ramana' by A.R. Murugadoss that starred Vijayakanth in the lead.
The only good thing about the movie Gabbar is Back was Akshay Kumar, he carried the movie in his shoulders such was his performance.
Now, this year, Akshay Kumar comes up with another movie, based on this very theme, called 'Gabbar Is Back'.
