Movie Review: Dabangg

Apparently, Dabangg has broken 3 Idiot's record at box office collections. Apparently, there are a lot of idiots out there ready to pay big bucks to watch a ridiculous and badly made movie.


The action sequences are straight out of Rajneekanth's world and will certainly bring out some laughs. Salman breaking into a dance every time the gangster's phone rings with a musical ring tone will also bring a smile, which becomes a laugh when Salman asks the henchman to forward the tune to him. But for the rest 95% of the movie, you will need to be a super patient yogi to sit through the meandering story line, the hamming of actors from yesteryears acting as if these are the yesteryears and some completely avoidable, or let me put it this way, SHOULD HAVE BEEN AVOIDED song and dance sequences. Salman has completely taken the Govinda route to box office "success", and while I cannot fault him for it, one wonders why he cannot at least learn a couple of more dance "moves". Sonakshi Sinha looks good in small parts - the rest of her needs to shape up :)

Overall, an avoidable movie, unless you are a die-hard Salman fan, or the only other movie choice for the day is Raavan.

I thought the movie was average. I laughed a few times. But it was no "Ha Ha" funny. Didnt make me ROFL. The plot was weak of course..

I think the movie is doing well primarily because of Salmaan's fans. It's sort of his come back..
