Nice Plot. Review on Gunday

Remember classics like Sholay, Kala Pathar, Deewar where angry young man image superbly played by Amitabh Bachchan ruled the silver screen. Gunday pays homage to the 70's action flicks with gusto.

Gunday tells the story of two orphaned kids who are refugee from Bangladesh and escapes to Calcutta after 1971 Indo-Pak war. They grew up to become the messiah for Calcutta people but their friendship is torn apart when they fall in love with a common girl.

Directed by Ali Abbas Zafar who gave us light hearted Mere Brother Ki Dulhan, Gunday is an action potboiler of 70's era where grand entry and punching dialogues by hero were welcomed with whistling and screaming in the theater. Zafar does fairly good job in keeping the audience alive but suffers from lackluster screenplay in the first half.

The film boast off some high voltage drama but half baked romantic track spoils the mood. The second half picks up and will keep your attention till well executed climax. Few twist do add some spice to the film. Art direction is magnus. Cinematography is outstanding.

Songs are good. Ranveer Singh and Arjun Kapoor pulls the film on their shoulder and will ensure you are entertained. Priyanka Chopra and Irrfan Khan provides adequate support.

Overall, Gunday is a daring attempt to come out this year. Good 3/5.
