Critics Review

Entertainer

Dabangg is loud, crazy, zany, exaggerated, larger-than-life, almost nonsensical, totally make-believe, comic book like, complete kitsch, generously peppered with the mandatory desi tadka (garnishing) of songs and dances that keep popping out of nowhere and is literally oozing with star charisma.

An out and out entertainer

DABANGG is a full on entertainer with three aces - Salman Khan like never before, stylish action and super music. It's a foregone conclusion that DABANGG will open huge.(more)

Chulbul Pandey, co-written by writer-director Abhinav Kashyap and enacted by Salman Khan, is the most thunderously crackling character I've seen in a Bollywood film in months. Dabangg ends with the promise of a sequel. I would be happy to see more of Chulbul Pandey. I only hope that Kashyap writes him a better script.(more)

Catch the new Salman Khan

Debut director Abhinav Kashyap adds in elements from the 1970s and 1980s potboilers: the larger-than-life dialogue, the good son who's a cop, the sneering villain, the helpless mother, the village girl, and so on. Don't buy into the hype, and you'll find it an entertaining enough single-time watch. (more)

Ordinary, at best average!

Dabangg can barely contain the presence of its larger-than-life star. Watch it strictly for Salman, who delivers enough bang for your buck! (more)
