Reviews & Ratings for
Gabbar Is Back (2015)

The good:

Akshay is a fun action hero to watch. The fight scenes are terrific, and he really rocks that beard.

Flashback with Kareena was nice.

The bad:
The heroine was insipid and could have been cut from the movie with no problem.

Warped social message delivery system

The film is unlikely to create any sort of tussle at the boxoffice & will sink without a trace. In short, you can check it out on TV but make sure to skip through the portions of Shruti Hasan or else you might end up spending money to repair the damage that you would do to your television!!!

Bollywood is a domain where, almost every week, a new character 'takes birth'. There have been many instances wherein the film's characters have become evergreen icons and names to reckon with. The day and date of August 15, 1975 will always be memorable for the cinema lovers as that was the day when the iconic 'Gabbar' (of SHOLAY) took birth on silver screen. GABBAR IS BACK happens to be the 'name-esis' of the famous character 'Gabbar',lets analyse the impact it made.
As far as the performances are concerned, no prizes for guessing that the captain of the ship is none other than Akshay Kumar, the man who mouths the eternal dialogue 'Naam villain ka, kaam hero ka'. He is having a role befitting larger than life persona suiting a typical Bollywood Hero. He is earnest and it is clear that he believes in the actions of the protagonist. Shruti Haasan, on her part, has this silly obsession with 'Google' facts that stops being funny after a point of time and lands up being irritating. At the same time, one cannot deny the fact that even though she has a small role, she looks beautiful. The pace of the movie is leisurely and it's only towards the end that it picks up pace. Rajat Aroraa's dialogues are catchy in parts. While the film loses its pace in the first half, it regains it in the second half. Average entertainer movie with catchy massy title. If you are sick and tired of corruption in India, then, you shall find GABBAR IS BACK inspiring, else you may find it as the same other Bollywood movies.
