Critic Review
Gabbar (2015)Gabbar Is Back movie is an official remake of the 2002 critically and commercially successful Tamil A. R. Murugadoss film Ramana.It was later remade in Telugu as Tagore and then in Kannada as Vishnu Sena.
Aditya (Akshay Kumar) is an extremely righteous professor who dreams of creating awareness among the youth and making them ‘doers’ instead of being ‘watchers’ to the rotten system of corruption. He is a professor at National College, which seems more like a hypothetical college where no police can enter. Aditya along with a team of his students who have now branched out of college and are placed in various government organizations chalks out a plan to erase the top-most corrupt officials. Calling himself as Gabbar, Aditya kidnaps Tehsildars, Collectors, PWD official and even a police official and kills them. Of course, no man with a clean past would voluntarily take up such a cause of teaching the society a lesson hence we learn about Aditya’s past.
Been married to Kareena Kapoor’s character, five years back Aditya is all set to start his family when in an unexpected mishap of a building collapse, he loses his pregnant wife. Naturally, agitated by this, after digging up information on the building collapse, Aditya gathers evidence against Digvijay Patil (Suman Talwar), who is the builder. While Patil almost kills Aditya, he is miraculously saved by some medical students who find his body lying in front of their bus. The new lease of life that he gets is to make sure that he teaches not only Digvijay but the other corrupt officials a lesson.
On the other side Sadhu (Sunil Grover) is an honest constable who in spite of his wit is always a butt of jokes amongst his seniors. It is Kuldeep Pahwa (Jaideep Ahlawat) who comes as the special officer who finally recognizes Sadhu for his work.
And well, in the end Gabbar is successful in creating the desired revolution amongst the youth.

The only saving grace of this film is Akshay Kumar, who not only looks dishy with a beard, but does try giving a convincing performance in this not at all convincing film. But then he should have chosen better..
After watching this we surely need a real 'Gabbar' to blow some courage in all of us—and wipe out corruption from the root. 'Pachaas Pachaas Kos Dur Jabh Koi Rishwat Leta Hai, Toh Sabh Kehte Hain Mat Le Varna, Gabbar Aa Jaaega..
I’ve said this several times, but I’m ready to implore again: can Bollywood please, please stop making these tired, tiresome remakes? And let sleeping Gabbars lie?.
On the whole, GABBAR IS BACK is an average entertainer which will draw huge footfalls over the weekend due to catchy massy title, action drama and the fact that it is releasing on a holiday. Post the weekend, the film will have to rely on 'PWD' (Performan.
Akshay Kumar has put sincere efforts in every department be it intense or romantic scenes. But all the elements of screenplay, editing, and storyline put together doesn’t really help to drive the point back home. The climax of the film is a yawn and doe.
Gabbar Is Back is a full on ‘masala’ film with a lot of applause worthy scenes. The buck stops at Akshay Kumar.
And, before I finish, Honey Singh has just bettered himself. Don’t believe me? Watch Chitrangada Singh’s dance number ‘Aao Raja’.
Clearly, nobody put the makers of this film through the paces. They might have then known how to make the best of their limited cinematic resources and craft something less mucky.
Watch Gabbar Is Back only if you are a diehard Akshay Kumar fan..
In spite of being a remake movie, Gabbar Is Back is the best version ever made. Watch it for Akshay and watch it because it is an entertaining movie that will kick the boredom out of you like how Akshay kicks his villains..
