'DABANGG', paisa vasool for Salman fans

Cast: Salman Khan, Arbaaz Khan, Sonakshi Sinha, Sonu Sood

Director: Abhinav Kashyap

Producer: Arbaaz Khan

The clash between good and bad is not a new subject for bollywood. Infact, many films based on the same subject hit the screen in the late 1970's succeed in box office. We can recall the scene of serpentine queues, and mad scramble to book tickets outside cinema halls where these types of masala films were screened. We cannot forget the fact that the hardcore masala films were relished with glee by the audience then. But over a period of time, these masala films were disappeared from the memory of the cinema lovers.

Up course, one more add to this category is definitely DABANGG. Basically it is an action movie, and action lovers can get lot of entertainment. It is a tangy masala film meant for the masses. Story is not a new one, and is old wine in a new bottle.

Salman acted superbly, and his fans' would not get disappointed. He succeeds to relish enough entertainment to his fans. Film already created a mass hysteria whiles crushing old records and setting new benchmarks at the box-office. Film has the Blockbuster wrote all over it. Salman Khan played the lead role of corrupt but good-hearted Chulbul Pandey. The whole film stands on three pillars. First one is salman's star power, second one is smashing stunts, and the third one is super music.

Story of the film is about a police inspector's fight for justice in his own corrupt manner. Story also tells about harps on the age-old mother-son and varied relationships. Chulbul is a fearless and corrupt police officer. He is working in his own unorthodox style. His childhood was little bitter. His father passed away when Pandey was very young. After that his mother married Prajapati Pandey. Dimple Kapadia acted in the role of his mother, where as Vinod Khanna is in the role of Prajapathi Pandey. Makhanchan is Chulbul's half-brother who born to Prajapathi and Chulbul's mother.

Chulbul decided to detach himself from his step-father and half-brother, when Prajapati favors Makhanchan which Chulbul does not like. Ultimately after his mother's demise that was his sole attachment, Chulbul snaps all ties with his family.

But when Rajo, role played by Sonakshi Sinha enters his life, Chulbul starts to see life more positively. He gets sensitized to the value of a family. But his detractors have their own vested interests, and try to spoil his life whiles putting one brother against the other. And, they used Makhanchan against Chulbul to carry out their own vested interests. When Makhanchan realizes the intention of the detractors, he turns to Chulbul.

We have seen so many similar stories in the past, but this film shines because of Salman's star power. The role gives him good opportunity to prove his star power, and he does it well. Salman's introduction and climax will send the masses in frenzy. S. Vijayan's stunts are superb. In music, Sajid-Wajid comes up with a melodious score. The title track, 'Tere Mast Mast Do Nain' and 'Munni', which is composed by Lalit Pandit are the plus point. Action scenes are outstanding. Up course, finale fight, and the climax is one prime reason for repeat viewing.

Mahesh Limaye's cinematography and editing by Pranav V. Dhiwar are perfect. Dialogues delivered by Salman Khan is greeting by fans with claps and whistles. Especially for the dialogue, 'Itne chhed karunga', fans become frenzy.

Heroine Sonakshi Sinha looks fresh, acts confidently and pairs off very well with Salman. She delivers the right expressions. Actions of supporting cast Vinod Khanna, Dimple Kapadia, Anupam Kher, Om Puri are superb.

Salman at his 44 manages to create awesome onscreen chemistry with Sonakshi, who is almost half his age. He manages to pack in the punch, and delivers a power packed performance and goes all out to indulge his fans. As a whole DABANGG is an entertaining movie, and spectators gets enough entertainment for what they paid.
