Saheb Biwi aur Gangster

Saheb biwi aur Gangster looks more like gossip girl where everyone is sleeping with everyone else.

The direction looks week. Tigmanshu dhulia did not develop the story properly. There are many loopholes in the story itself. For example why did biwi needed the money. She was provided for everything, she had her drinks also then why suddenly money. Tigmnashu mistook power  / love / lust / sex for money. The plot is also not full proof.  At one more place Saheb presents soha a phone as a gift when her phone gets broken just the day before, it was no where shown that he somehow knew that her phone got broken. It more looks like “Race” with some crisp dialogues. For ex – “tumhe pata hai mard gali kyun jyada dete hain, kyunki vo rote nahi.”

The story becomes repetitive in the movie itself. You will feel many déjà vus. Tigmanshu has tried to portray the typical traits of women and men and from them he had tried to weave up a story but this was an unsuccessful attempt.

He has tried to create suspense, but that becomes more like RACE type suspense which can be easly predicted if you know this type of movies.

Acting section is also average. The biggest disappointment was Irfan khan. He seems to be repetitive in his acting. The same style of slow and stammered dialogue delivery and nothing new specific to a character is proving to be image crasher for irfan. He needs to start developing himself as per the character not develop character as per himself. His acting was just average. Randeep hooda was much better in the last one. Another disappointment was Mahi gill. Her character was supposed to be the fire brand. She was supposed to be seductive, very powerful but vulnerable at the same time. She could not perfectly do it. She was just average. The only place where she left some spark was the song – idhar gire udhar gire. Jimi shergil was good for his part. He portrayed the character very correctly. But the surprise were Sohal ali khan and the guy who played the younger brother of Irfan and the minister ji. They really dispayed their good acting skills by portraying the character very nicely.

Dialogues of the movie were very real. They only were the saving grace for the movie. Somehow looked like something major was missing in the direction. The comedy also looked boring at some places.

Production design was also average but that could be easily put on the heads of producer for making it under budget. But some more money could have been spent to give it real royal look.

The movie just portrays the typical emotions and traits of men and women and again proves that women are really short sighted.

All in all, the movie is between below average to average. But would definitely suggest Dhuliya not to make it a TV sexual drama series and stop the nonsense right away. I will as usual not give any recommendation simply because I believe that we are living in a post modernization era and everyone has his /her own motive, perspective and opinion. So its up to you. The article is shear my opinion. I see any movie  with two perspective- one as a film maker, two as viewer. Some movies are very satisfying as film maker while some are very satisfying as viewer and some are just awesome. This did not satisfy me in either way.
