Review of Dabangg

Dabangg (2010)
4/10
A Mass MASALA MOVIE - Average
15 October 2010
Warning: Spoilers
Overlook: There was a Genre in Hindi Industry in Late 70s to Late 80s, a genre such as Mass Masala movies, lot of action, simple story line, sometimes a revenge, Finding out missing siblings, etc.. And Mid 80s saw Tamil and Telugu Following this kind of movies by Rajini Kanth, Kamal Hassan, Chiranjeevi, Vijaykanth etc.. and in early 2000s Tamil and Telugu moved to meaning full movies, while Malayalam and Kannada Industry moved to the kind of Mass Masala Genre from Meaningful movies. Now Bollywood is fast moving towards the same, thanks to South Director's Ghajini and Wanted, people who watched Tamil Action movie can Identify the similarities. Camera's showing the Legs and Shoes, few zoom to Hero's face, Sound of Iron hitting on a Head, Sound of Bones Cracking, Lots of Actions and a hero who is like Robinhood is the Character of 100s of Tamil Masala Movies. You would have heard that the Movie is already a Super Hit. HOW? Because the same old story is restructured with a New Brand Ambassador, and this style of Film making is not usual in Bollywood which is usual in Tamil Action Movies.

Did you liked Wanted? And sure Salman will come back with this type of movies again. This PART is strictly for Viewers who watches Tamil and Telugu Movies: The First Action scene is so funny and of of the best comedy scene I had ever came across and the Background Music is missing the PUNCH. His Face expressions is so horrible for an Action Scene. Very Similar Introduction scene (Wanted) seen in many of Leading Actor Vijay's Tamil Movies. and First Action itself reminds me and will remind you of Vijay Movies like 'Tirupaatchi' and 'Pokkiri' (Wanted was a Remake of Pokkiri and Pokkiri itself was a Remake of Telugu Movie 'Pokiri'. I just now checked the Stunt Master's name. Warning: You might not be entertained. Even you Might feel as if you are watching Spoof of some Popular Tamil / Telugu Movies!!!

Negatives: We had seen many times the Bollywood Fans making fun of Tamil / Telugu Style of Action Scenes, and now when they imitate the same the same is accepted. I wonder the reason of the same. Dominating!!! Who? The Character of the Hero is very much Similar to that of Vikram's Character in Tamil Movie 'Saamy' and the Intro scenes is identical to that of 'Wanted'. Sonu Sood was so good in movies like 'Athadu' but failed here to Impress. And the BGM is so dumb that it fails to create the PUNCH needed for many of the Action Scenes. What Salman Doest in the name of Style is becoming a Comedy! Watch out for the Scene Salman Cries when he comes to know that his mother is no more! Its one of the worst performance by any Leading Hero in India. I am the one who enjoyed Salman in 'Partner'. Salman should do what he know best. Positives: Salman Khan's Intro scene and the first Action will catch you (Salman Khan Fans) and the climax Fight Scene ( not to those who used to watch Tamil Movies very frequently, its repeated here, you can Identify many Shots from Tamil and Telugu Movies).
