Gabbar Singh, telugu version of Dabbang

Though I'm not a telugu guy, more due to pressure from my younger colleagues, I happened to watch 'Gabbar Singh' in Casino cinema in Chennai. This was my third telugu movie of my life (watching in the cinema hall, I mean), the first one being Mutta Mestri, where Chiranjeevi was the star of those days.

As soon as the movie started, the hall was filled with loud whistles. Every cheeky dialogue from the hero triggered more. I must admit, the gravity defying, logic defying action sequences are worth watching. You would forget Newton's law and basic principles of Physics.

There are some really hilarious stunts like the hero removing his goggles and throwing at a policeman face, phut, it goes and fits in the right place :). There was another sequence where he rounds up all the villain's supporters and gets them to play Antyaakshri. That's a very hilarious sequence and you ROFL.

Sad part was that the charming, beautiful Shruti Hasan has no strong role to play (I have become a recent fan of her). It was Pawan Kalyan throughout.

This was the first time I heard about Pawan Kalyan - Power Star, maybe due to my ignorance of the telugu film industry. I was a fan of Chiranjeevi, his elder brother, for his hit film Mutta Mestri in my younger days. It's amazing to know that this man delivered a hit with Gabbar Singh after 10 years!! That too after a string of flops to his credit. I must admire him for the perseverance. It also drives home the truth that bad times don't last forever. When the sun sets, it's only to rise again the next day. That was the takeaway for me.

Overall, it was entertainment to the core. So, if you want to enjoy this movie, leave your thinking caps behind, there's no point trying to analyze why some things are happening. Just relax, sit back and have a good laugh!!
