Movie is too much overdone. Misplaced comedy mars the seriousness. They could have made the movie in a much serious and darker note.

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.

Yes, I/me/myself decided to watch this film. Now you guys can laugh as much as you want. For the better part of the film, we were torn between sitting inside and pulling our hair out or going out in the 41+ degrees Delhi heat. Finally we could bear it no more and stepped out. So this review is only for a part of the film.
Every single scene is unadulterated 100% pure nonsense. The director has worked very diligently to ensure that sanity is squeezed out from every scene. A Professor, who teaches physics in open air wearing vest and jeans, police officials who deliberately act like morons or miss Haasan whose only responsibility in the film is to torment the audience with foolish humorless utterances.
This was supposed to be similar to the 'Wanted', 'Dabangg' and 'Rowdy Rathore' series which have hit a nerve with the common masses in India. This one though misses its mark so often and so wildly that we wish the marksman had turned around and shot us instead.
Gabbar is dangerous and ruthless as ever. This time though, the audience are the target.

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.

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. But the fact is that Murgadass could have been the only director who can pull of commercial Masala action movies having strong messages. Unfortunately he didn't directed the bollywood version. In place of him we got KRISH another south Indian director who although have given some good movies to south India but doesn't know the nerves of Bollywood audience. As a result we get a movie which would look totally a South Indian flick if Akshay Kumar was not playing the lead role. The Director and specially the screen play writer should have given extra effort to transform it to Bollywood. The story was simple, a man or you can say an organization fighting against corruption which the trailers shows , and the way of their fighting was not Gandhi type rather they go Bhagat Singh way. This is not the first movie which shows angry hero fighting against the corruption so with the plot you didn't get anything new. In fact you didn't even get special Akhsay Kumar jokes to get entertain(BABY being a non commercial serious film had Much more jokes on both quantitative and qualitative basis). If you ask whats there to watch in this one , then i would suggest two of the most highlighted things of the movie. First one would be the HOSPITAL sequence in which Akshay plays a little game to bring out the corrupt Doctors. And 2nd one would be SUNIL GROVER in the whole movie(remember Gutthi from Comedy With Kapil). Mr. Grover is full of talent , and that too not only in the department of comedy but also as an honest cop who doesn't get enough recognition , trying to make his special place in the Police department . Akshay in the action (obviously) and non action scenes was good. But here also he was doing the same thing he has been doing from years. Don't ask about the women characters as they have been ignored totally by the script. I am shocked with the casting directors who cast Shruti Haasan (a very average actress) in the lead role and Kareena Kapoor (a really talented actress who even had a great chemistry with Akshay in the past) in a cameo. Same goes for Villains who were not good enough for being the topic of discussion , nobody in the movie even gave a good competition to Gabbar. Gabbar has achieved everything with ease as per his plan. Songs were not too many in amount (only three in the movie) and two of them are beautifully picturized (except KUNDI MAT KHADKAO RAJA which was badly picturized , written and performed). And yes , thankfully the running time is short so one thing that it doesn't do is making you bore. If i would compare this to any other Masala action entertainers with big star then i would say Singham Returns was a little better then this. Now its time for Akshay to understand that he is wasting his acting talent in average movies. 6/10. By ANuP APu KuMaR

This movie will give you something to think upon..which young generation need to actually , we can't just ignore corruption.To stop it , we need to fight it not ignore it.Kinda ...exciting movie .
Overall everybody's acting was good .Songs not so nice , but since that's not a love story so songs doesn't matter much.
There is a scene where an auto wala returning change to Shruti telling ..there is no need for extra money since ..nobody is asking for extra money i.e bribe..Best line was that I guess in the complete movie. It gives a glance of the perfect society, if corruption stops.As a whole I liked it and would suggest you all to watch it.

Akshay Kumar is one such star who has been entertaining the Bollywood film industry for 25 years and yet his choice of selecting films has been subjective with classic thuds like Once Upon in Mumbai Dobara, Joker , Khiladi 786, Its Entertainment and The Shaukeens to name few. Fortunately, Holiday and BABY were breath-taking. 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 people
First time director in Hindi cinema , Krish gives a popcorn masala entertainment with a good message. At the beginning, you are greeted with unnecessary insertion of characters and half-baked romantic track. The movie unravels the moral story and it starts making sense with each scene.The second half is extremely intense with punching dialogues and melodrama taking over. Few scenes do stand out - the hospital scene is brilliantly executed , the climax is impacting. The screenplay does have loopholes but few to be remembered once you leave the theater. These kind of cinemas are generally adored by the masses who loves to whistle to introduction scene of their hero, clap to the item songs and shout as their hero punches the villain. Similarly, Gabbar has everything going in its favor. The humongous entry by Akshay Kumar, the brilliant fight sequence captured in slow motion ( though sometimes larger-than- life) and good storyline. Songs are the major disappointment. Art direction is plain and cinematography is ordinary. Gabbar completely belongs to Akshay Kumar and the actor does not leave any stone unturned. He gives his best and proves his mettle with good performance. Shruti Hassan over-acts and should work on her expressions being in the industry for so many years.
Overall, Gabbar Is Back has right intention with Akshay Kumar ruling the roost. Good 3/5
