A dialogue in ‘Gabbar is Back’ says: Our system has become like a baby’s diaper. It’s a little wet in parts and loose in parts. The line succinctly encapsulates the film’s narrative.

Remade from the Tamil film ‘Ramanaa’ by A Murugadoss, ‘Gabbar is Back’ is about a vigilante (Akshay Kumar) who leads a team of young micro vigilantes in punishing corrupt government officials. They profile, research & then punish in a public manner by hanging corrupt men in public view, inspired by Saddam Hussein’s dictatorial regime in Iraq, I assume. Gabbar becomes a smarter than everyone vigilante after his beautiful, pregnant wife (Kareena Kapoor Khan in a cameo) dies in a building collapse. When he batters the criminal builder businessman Patil and breaks tons of furniture out of frustration, I suppose he finds his calling. Surviving a near butchering, Gabbar returns to reform; even as news outlets go into frenzy. Somewhere amidst this all, he also helps Shruti (Shruti Hassan), a bimbo lawyer who loves Google, during an emergency delivery; and as is common to south Indian remakes, Shruti falls for Aditya. In delivering justice from a corrupt private hospital, Gabbar accidentally reconnects with his bête noir, Patil, and thus ensues a revenge fest. All this while, fat, corrupt policemen and a top CBI cop assisted by a smart constable fruitlessly chase Gabbar.

KRK-Anurag Kashyap spat turns ugly

Recently Kamal Rashid Khan (KRK), a known notorious tweeter and so called critic, tweeted that Karan Johar had offered him Rs. 25 lakhs to give 4 stars to Bombay Velvet.

He even targeted Anurag Kashyap through his tweets, where he said that he has stopped reviewing films as the film-makers of Bombay Velvet have been threatening him. Anurag Kashyap shot back yesterday, but the spat turned uglier at the second trailer launch of Bombay Velvet today.

 Raveena Tandon is all set to stun us as the gorgeous Jazz singer in Anurag Kashyap's Bombay Velvet. Here is a still of Raveena from the second version of 'Mohabbat Buri Bimari', which features her.

The film is about Bombay of 60s and a Jazz night club called ‘Bombay Velvet’. There were rumors that due to changes in the script, Raveena was miffed with the makers and that almost walked out of it. But later she cleared the air and denied the reports.
