Dabangg

Plot synopsis:
Chulbul Pandey, a young boy, lives with his younger half-brother, Makhanchan "Makkhi" Pandey, stepfather Prajapati Pandey (Vinod Khanna) and mother, Naina Devi (Dimple Kapadia) in Laalgunj, Uttar Pradesh. He has a troubled relationship with his stepfather and Makkhi. After 21 years, Chulbul (Salman Khan) becomes a policeman. Chulbul, who calls himself "Robin Hood" Pandey, lives with his family. Makkhi (Arbaaz Khan) is in love with Nirmala (Mahi Gill), whose father Masterji (Tinu Anand) opposes the relationship. Chulbul falls in love with a girl named Rajjo (Sonakshi Sinha), who he meets during a police encounter.
A corrupt political leader named Chedi Singh (Sonu Sood) meets Chulbul and both quickly become enemies. Makkhi asks his father to arrange his marriage with Nirmala. His father refuses because he needs money to repay the loans he took to make his factory, and he believes that he can acquire money through his son marrying a rich girl. In desperate need of money, Makkhi steals from Chulbul's cupboard and gives the stolen cash to Nirmala's father, hoping that he will permit Makkhi to marry Nirmala. Meanwhile, Chulbul meets Rajjo and proposes marriage, which she rejects, as she has to take care of her father, Haria (Mahesh Manjrekar)—a drunkard.
Chulbul comes home to find his mother dead. He goes to his stepfather to make peace, as he is the only family left. His stepfather refuses and despises him as an outcast. Makkhi invites Chulbul to his marriage with Nirmala. Chulbul convinces Rajjo's father to marry her. Rajjo's father commits suicide, as he knows that his daughter will not marry anyone while he is alive. Chulbul takes Rajjo to Makkhi's exuberant wedding. Realising that Makkhi has stolen his money to finance the wedding, Chulbul marries Rajjo in an impromptu ceremony. Nirmala's father feels disgraced and cancels his daughter's wedding.
Makkhi beats up one of the workers in his factory due to a small mishap. The worker goes to the police station with his mother to file a complaint. Chulbul beats up Makkhi in public to disgrace him. Chedi takes advantage of the situation, and takes Makkhi along with his father to the police station. Makkhi's father resolves the situation by accepting an apology from Chulbul. Chulbul meets Dayal Babu (Anupam Kher), a local political leader, who also dislikes Chedi. With his help, Chulbul adulterates the breweries of Chedi, and wrongly frames him for it.
To take revenge, Chedi burns Makkhi's factory. Makkhi's father suffers a heart attack due to shock and is hospitalised. Makkhi goes to Chedi seek help from him, without knowing that it was Chedi, who burnt his factory. Chedi agrees to finance his father's treatment, if he delivers a crate of mangoes to Dayal Babu's house. Unknown to Makkhi, there is a bomb inside the crate, which explodes after he leaves, killing Dayal Babu. Chedi gives Makkhi a task to kill Chulbul. Makkhi accepts, and confesses it to Chulbul. He reveals to Chulbul that Chedi made him plant the bomb unknowingly. Chulbul forgives him and reconciles with his stepfather. Makkhi then reveals to Chulbul that it was Chedi, who killed their mother. Enraged, Chulbul suffocates Chedi to death. Later, Chulbul gets Makkhi married to Nirmala in the presence of her father, while Rajjo reveals that she is pregnant.

Review:
The movie has great action sequences, fantastic music, an all-star cast, but more than anything it has Salman Khan, who totally delivers in a role that is a caricature of his own image.
This is strictly Bollywood entertainment and the king is entertainment is at his best.Salman is a corrupt but golden-hearted police officer in a small town of U.P. He dotes on his mother (Dimple) but hates his stepfather (Vinod Khanna) and stepbrother (Arbaaz Khan).
Sonakshi is Salman's love interest in the film.What's Good: Salman Khan's performance; the songs, particularly Munni badnaam huyi and Tere mast mast do nain; the action and stunts; the humour.What's Bad: Not bad, but the story offers absolutely no novelty.Verdict: Dabangg will rock at the box-office.
A mind blowing action film with a best performance by Salman.Everseen best action film after a long time which will entertain all ages of the people.The music is fantastic which will make audiences to enjoy the movie to a great extent.
The debut actress is also fantastic.The songs are really superb and a musical hit of the year.Truly one of Salman's best action blockbuster ever seen.The plot even old it is good.Surely this film will make a record in India.The debut director has given his best that people who see this movie will become a fan of him.Definitely an awesome action movie which will do a record in all regions..
Salman was having a no of flops after wanted but in 2010,director Abhinav Kashyap teamed with Salman to give a masala entertainer which changed Salman's career at the box office.Salman became the biggest crowd puller at the box office and even some worst movies like BODYGUARD broke many records at the box office The story of dabangg is very simple.It is about a corrupt police officer who faces challenges from his family, gangsters and politicians.But what made DABANGG stood out was how it was directed.Director Abhinav Kashyap did a fantastic job And what made Dabangg more special is the presence of Salman in an action masala after Wanted.Dabangg was indeed made for Salman.Truly Dabangg is among the best Salman performances.The comedy was also very good.The music "munni badnaam" became an instant hit and had the item girl herself dancing to it.Sonakshi made her debut with Dabangg but had less to do since it is all about the hero All in all DABANGG deserved the success it had at the box office..
Salman and Soni played their roles so well romantically along with the perfect action execution that was done.This movie contained brotherly love and debate and remains a perfect example of a high quality Bollywood film that would possibly have a chance of being a Hollywood film.I recommend watching this movie no matter what.
Effort of Anurag Kashyap to make Dabangg is better than Salman's earlier movie wanted is failed and also failed to reveal themselves as a good director.
With over-the-top sequences, exaggerated circumstances, incredulous action and Salman Khan at its helm, Dabangg not only explodes with its outlandish style to entertain but garners more money than all of Anurag's films combined.One look at Salman's entry in the film and you know what's in store for you.
I saw this film recently, because of all the hype around the film and breaking 3 Idiots' box office records and I could say for the first time, I enjoyed watching Salman Khan in a 'mass' movie!!
:) I watch Telugu/Tamil films a lot and when I say 'mass' movie, I mean like masala (songs, fights, dances, senti-scenes, all that good stuff).
Nice brown and reds throughout the film..I did not like the camera-work/Artwork of Salman's previous film WANTED because it looked too colorful..these kinds of movies need to bring down the color..Story is very weak but directions takes over.
The chic has a nice body (the only good part of the movie).Please do not be misled by the high ratings it has received from some of Sallu fans and idiots.Its shameful for actors like Om Puri, Anupam Kher and Mahesh Manjkrekar to be a part of such flicks to earn their bread and Butter.
Salman successfully proves that any problem can be solved by using force and muscle power...No need to have a brain inside your head.Actually Bollywood is now following a simple formula to churn out 'HIT' movies....First,get a superstar and pay him tons of money(preferably Salman,Shahrukh or Amir)...get some good songs...put an item number with MALAIKA or any other hot girl who has nothing else to do....pay nothing to scriptwriters....put some copied action/emotion scenes mingled with romance or vice versa...send that superstar to monkey dance everywhere to promote it....and there you have it!!!!!!This film has no logic,no story....just Salman performing superhuman stuff...all the others are either praising him and his 'Dabangg' or getting beaten to death....a complete brainless piece of trash!!
Vinod Khanna,Dimple Kapadia,Anupam Kher all are wasted...let's not even get started about Arbaaz!!Sonakshi Sinha is a cute girl....but her acting is simply forgettable.However, Dabangg has already accumulated over Rs. 500 Million in 4-5 days....set a new record beating 3 IDIOTS(which was another commercial crap)...It shows the amount of brainless people watch this kind of movies in theaters expecting to watch a blockbuster...rather commit suicide and rid this world of stupidity!!!!!People blame directors,scriptwriters,producers and actors for bad movies....blame yourself for watching this kind of movies and earning them HUGE money.....they will continue making this kind of BULLS**T until you people get a life!!!Real and thoughtful movies like UDAAN,YEH HAI India,A Wednesday get snubbed just because of lack of stardom,advertisement and idiocy of people and the scriptwriters and directors either dies of starvation or turns into zombies and write/direct DABANGG!!!This kind of films must come with a statutory warning......it can kill people faster than tobacco by sucking their brains out...enough said!!.
Its a complete waste after the first fight sequence, after that everything just goes haywire and your left wondering seriously did all that just happen.This was supposed to be a entertainer but that was just bad.Even as a fan of Salmon, he cant even keep you glued to the screen for this one, and whats up with acting with his brothers in every movie.Every one else especially Anupam Ker are all wasted and the leading lady, she should have just stuck with not acting in the first place, or at least with something to show case her talent which I don't think she really has.
Directed by Abhibnav Kashyap and co-written by Dilip Shukla, the filmmakers have created an awesome alpha male type whose shoulders they firmly rely on to carry the film from start to end, and rightly differentiated itself from the tons of cop films available from Indian cinema with having a character that lives and breathes its title Dabangg (Fearless), alongside being an awkward romantic, a filial son to his mother, and pretty much multi-faceted in all dimensions.The character of Chulbul Pandey is one of the most charismatic that I've seen coming out of Bollywood recently, and Salman Khan adds his own fine touches to make him really over the top, complete with an unmistakable swagger, attitude and wit.
If you think that Indian films have rather exaggerated fight choreography, perhaps the treatment that this film adopts will change your mind about it, and adds a lot of fun and colour to a film that doesn't take itself too seriously when it comes to entertaining the masses with some over the top action that as a finale, seemed like that of a typical epic Western shoot-em-ups with plenty of explosions thrown in for good measure.
In fact, there are plenty of Western elements put into the film, from action as mentioned, to even the music - Udd Udd Dabangg remains my favourite from the film for its cheesy looking moves that tells us in one song, just what Chulbul stands for.Central to its story are a few sub plots running in parallel, involving Chulbul's falling in love with and the romancing of the headstrong Rajo (Sonakshi Sinha in a film debut), the Pandey family problems with the non-recognition from his step dad Prajapati Pandey (Vinod Khanna) to whom his mom (Dimple Kapadia) marries, and his step brother Makkhi (Arbaaz Khan), a non too bright, good for nothing who finds support in Chulbul's political enemies.
Not every actor has natural charisma, but Salman Khan here just oozes plenty as he makes this role his own.Dabangg swaggers its way into my shortlist of some of the best films this year.
The actions sequences of the movie are remarkably done in South Indian movies style just like before in Salman Khan's super block buster movie "Wanted".
DABANGGGGGGGGG-------10/10Sonakhsi performance-9.5/10 SALMAN KHAN-10/10 ARBAAZ KHAN-10/10 VINOD KHANNA-10/10 DIMPLE KAPADIA-10/10Go grab a seat near you before the movie gets off the theatre you will feel action adventure romance and corruption of CHULBUL PANDEY AKA ROBINHOOD PANDEY.
Robinhood Pandey aka Chulbul Pandey(Salman Khan) is a corrupt police in the movie.His craziness blows everyones mind!And the timing of the music is so incredible.The action of Salman is flawless,beyond description.His attitude is so firing.Chulbul lives with his parents and brother (Makkhi Pandey).Cheddy Singh (Sonu Sood) is the villain.Cheddy killed Chulbul's mother.And create problems with Salman and with the villagers.Chulbul Pandey fight against Cheddy.There is even romantic periods in the movie.Taran Adarsh rated Dabangg 4.5/5.Salman Khan at the age 44 showed damn action.If don't watch it you gonna miss a mass.GO QUICKLY and watch DABANGG(FEARLESS) MUST WATCH-HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!----BOX OFFICE COLLECTION--49 CRORE(3 DAYS BUSINESS,India)Biggest in Bollywood.RECORD!.
His character of a Robin Hood type anti hero was not well developed but then again I think most of the thinking went into the action sequences and that's about as good as it gets in a salman khan movie.Another funny aspect to the movie was his interaction with Sonakshi Sinha's character.
Its basically for the audience who love Hindi film full of Masala(spicy),action,comedy,drama and only expect only 2 thing from the movie thats Total ENTERTAINMENT and stress reliever.
And if you are a Salman Khan fan for them its Icing on the cake.Dabangg is a movie about Chulbul Pandey AKA Robinhood Pandey,a fearless,ruthless but funny and lovable Cop in Uttar Pradesh, India.
Dabangg provides wholesome entertainment.No doubts on that.But the problem is of its story,Its the kind which the people have seen in 60s-70s Bollywood movies.But,the director takes a step ahead with 3 aces.
After having some major Bollywood flops this year (all of them had a story) dabangg came to the rescue.Remember dialogs from western movie like "the good,the bad and the ugly"-"if you want to shoot ,shoot,dont talk" or " in this world there are two kinds of people my friend, one who load guns and others who dig.you dig" .Dabangg follows similar trend with funny dialogs.The action sequences have been shot in a different manner.
This movie is a complete package of Action and Comedy.The dialogues are awesome.The acting is also good.But Salman Khan steals the show,the mustache suites him a lot.The acting of Sonakshi Sinha is very good according to her first movie and she is beautiful.The Story is very nice,but there are some flaws too,like they did not tell very much about the villain ,it was a little confusing to know what was his profession plus the second flaw was that they did not tell the name of the character of the heroin ,i didn't notice it in the movie but afterward i thought about it and i didn't get it.The End fight was one of the best directed fights ever.The songs and music in the movie is very good,the songs were not getting out of my mind after i watched the movie.This is a movie that only Salman Khan can do,no one would be applicable at his place.A movie worth watching 4 or 5 times ..
film is an epic.Went to watch the paid preview because its an action film.I feel Movies are made so that audience can be entertained, Dabangg does that!
Anupam kher is a fantastic.Dimple kapadia is Superb.Arbaaz,he is a good,but he has a Extended Cameo only.Vinod Khanna is A grade in his 'grey shade' role.Sonu sood as the main villain is fantastic, But, but, The show Belongs to "SALMAN KHAN", he is so so Cute and adorable as Chulbul pandey.
The hysteria its promos created before its release, Munni Badnaam the item number, hit music, Salman Khan's fantastic new look, Sonakshi Sinha's pleasant appearance and the historic box office response, all directed at one thing Dabangg is something special.Dabangg gets the basics right.
There is the new action hero of Bollywood, the Salman Khan of Wanted and Dabangg.
Dabangg which means 'fearless' is quite an annoying and disturbing because firstly, its not an out and out Salman's movie and secondly, again in the name of producer the actor of 'Arbazz Khan' will come in every third scene without any remorse that he is blocking the flow of the story.
As other aspects are also good like stunts, cinematography , music and performance also.Best watch it in single screen among crazy crowds whistling clapping for their superstar Salman Khan.
These, compiled with the chop-chop edited (Pranav Dhiwar) action sequences and simple stepped choreography (Raju-Farah) complete the technicalities needed to translate the predictable, yet spoofed screenplay to a whole new Salman-world on the screen.The hero wears his glares on the back of his collar, gets married before the end of the movie, beats up people he doesn't like and cracks fart-jokes.
Some dialogs are witty and delivered in typical menacing style by Salman and it keeps grin to your face.Movie has a throng of fine actors like Vinod Khanna, Dimple Kapadia, Anupam Kher, Mahesh Manjrekar and Arbaaz Khan.
Sonu Sood and Arbaaz Khan i think are good actors but this movie has been made to circle around Salman.
That's the absence of any out of the box, solid and powerful villain standing against Salman Khan in the film.Unlike WANTED, DABANGG doesn't have any amusing villain character who gives a tough fight to the hero in his own entertaining style and persona.
This movie was brilliant and entertaining but I enjoyed watching the film and movie scenes of the movie are hilarious Storyline is good screenplay is good editing is good direction is good background music is good Songs are really good and excellent songs are excellent as always Salman khan was the real hero he is superb sonakshi does a wonderful debut performance arbaaz khan is superb sonu does amazing in his negative role Overalll my rating is 8/10.
starting Salman khan & sonakshi sinha dabangg 2010 is overpraised & overrated film in Indian cinema along with other salman movies like ready & bodyguard.Salman cant make good moves now he make only money by giving these so called spicy mass entertainer film.

Dabangg-A film by Anurag Kashyap is a family film as like all other movies of Bollywood Superstar Salman Khan.
The story of dabang is very simple.It is about a corrupt police officer who faces challenges from his family, gangsters and politicians.But what made DABANGG stood out was how it was directed.Director Abhinav Kashyap did a fantastic job And what made Dabang more special is the presence of Salman in an action scenes after Wanted.Most importantly, it's not meant to make sense.
Dabangg delivers entertainment Salman was having a no of flops after wanted but in 2010,director Abhinav Kashyap teamed with Salman to give a masala entertainer which changed Salman's career at the box office.Salman became the biggest crowd puller at the box office and even some worst movies like BODYGUARD broke many records at the box office The story of dabangg is very simple.It is about a corrupt police officer who faces challenges from his family, gangsters and politicians.But what made DABANGG stood out was how it was directed.Director Abhinav Kashyap did a fantastic job And what made Dabangg more special is the presence of Salman in an action masala after Wanted.Dabangg was indeed made for Salman.Truly Dabangg is among the best Salman performances.The comedy was also very good.The music "munni badnaam" became an instant hit and had the item girl herself dancing to it.Sonakshi made her debut with Dabangg but had less to do since it is all about the hero All in all DABANGG deserved the success it had at the box office..
Movie: Dabangg Rating: 4.5/5Salman Khan has played action packed roles for a long time.
But this time he shines as the new age cop in his mega action entertainer Dabangg, where he is excellent not just as an actor, but also as a true hero who looks like a cop.It's not only Salman, but also the screenplay that makes this film excellent.
In comparison Dabangg is a no nonsense film from a no nonsense action star/ actor Mr Salman Khan .
Director Abhinav Kashyap puts Salman Khan in Rajnikant's shoes in action sequences while the film's setting in U.P gives it a grand scope to explore the bhojpuri realm and take advantage of it for entertainment through dialogs and characters.
