Accept it. It’s a Salman Khan movie, a typical masala Bollywood entertainer. People throng the cinemas to see him abuse, deliver double meaning dialogues, grin with arched eyebrows, rip apart his shirt, dance like a git and definitely not act. Dabaang is no exception. It starts with a fight sequence, which has shades of his earlier movie Wanted and gives serious competition to Matrix. ;-) The movie then glides ahead with a banal plot spiced up with the dialogues and not to mention unlike other stars who need to act to liven up the words, for Salman all he needs to do is to keep a straight face and utter it in complete somberness. The jalwa ringtone was an intelligent addition and of course the Raybans too!
A two hour of complete timepass, a movie not to be recommended and even not to be missed. Songs are sweet and munni is already a declared superhit. You should watch the crowd erupt when malaika comes on the screen. Hard to imagine she is a mother of two. Hats off to her! Salman has come a long way from the boyish Prem in Maine Pyar Kiya to the Chulbul Pandey of Dabaang, but somethings remain unchanged, people buy tickets in black to watch him not act. He is a legend that way, absolutely no competition.
I think it’s a bit unfair that sordid dialogues of Omkara are hailed as serious, realistic pieces of art, where as the same is treated as cheap if Salman is starred. So guys and gals, keep no prejudices against our very own Robin Hood of Bollywood, because you may love him, or hate him but you undeniably can’t ignore him as he is A DABAANG KICKASS ENTERTAINER.
