Review: Saheb Biwi aur Gangster

By 70mm Idiot FARHAN (Brij)

With this Friday, one more movie came to the list of movies like Omkara, Maqbool etc. which is inspired from the great plays. Saheb biwi aur gangster is inspired from the Macbeth and classic movie Saheb biwi aur ghulam with the touch of current conditions.

Story: Aditya Pratap Singh is Saheb (Jimmy Sheirgill) in his story, coming from a royal lineage, though royalty seems to be evading him with changing times. He struggles to maintain his regal lifestyle through his own political nexus. Biwi (Mahie Gill) is his third wife who yearns for Saheb's attention but he is too busy with his mistress. A smalltime gangster Babloo (Randeep Hooda) is appointed as the new driver of Saheb's wife. Soon enough, the lovelorn wife falls for Babloo, resulting into a lethal illicit affair. But there's more than what meets the eye.

There are two types of movies one in which movie becomes grippe due to its story and in another its characters make movie grippe. In this director develops characters which beautifully hold movie upto the end.

In direction department, I can say After Haasil I was waiting for his movie like this (As Shagird and Charas were not upto that level). From the characters and each scenes we can see that how precisely he has worked on the movie.

In script and screenplay department, movie is very sound as and becomes more appealing as it reaches to its climax because there are too much of unexpected twists and dialogues of this movie are also appealing and put another star to this movie.

In acting department, As a royal prince “Saheb” Jimmy sheirgill had done his best. He was looking as greedy king who want his empire back against genda singh. Mahie gill was excellent as a moody, mad, sexy and greedy “Biwi” who wants her nights and her position as wife back. Randeep huda had also given his best as sarfeera, moody, selfish and greedy “Gangster” who wants his love and want the kingdom. Chemistry between everybody is also very well.

In music and song department movie seems somewhat weak as if songs were more better than movie would be at different heights.

Overall I will say movie is totally enjoyable for all the classes. It has everything Lust, Power, Politics, Betrayal, Action, Drama. Movie is power-pack of excellent acting, characters, dialogues and twists.

My rating - 4/5

(Go to watch with expectation, it will be sure above your expectation…must watch)
