Saheb Biwi Aur Gangster
Critic reviews and ratings
-
The film may be a finely crafted drama, yet it unfolds with thriller pace, keeping you on the edge of the seat till the very end. Enjoy the experience of a revised and re-mixed story, well told.
-
...draws you in at the very start, keeps you hooked throughout, and ends on a high. In other words, you have very little reason to miss the film.
-
This film can't be missed.
-
...a well-made film that works for its powerful plot, engaging script, commanding dialogue and super performances.
-
...admirably inspired, is almost a sophomore effort. As you'd know, that's a pretty hefty compliment to pay.
-
...is meant for smart audience that doesn't enter the cinema hall expected crass masala flick in the name of entertainment.
-
...a wholesome, hugely satisfying film after a long time. Those who like their stories slightly twisted will love this Machiavellian story with delicious dark humour.
-
A crackling script, fantastic direction and amazing performances, this movie almost deserves to be called a classic.
-
...not necessarily a film for everyone. Neither will it blow you away in any way. Still, it is one more inclusion in the list of audience-specific new-age genre films and deserves your attention.
-
The actors sparkle, the dialogue crackles and, after what seems to be aeons, there is a sense of a director approaching his material with seriousness.
-
...not a mindless entertainer, and is quintessentially desi, full of heat, dust and colour.
-
...a gripping tale of intricate politics, love and betrayal.
-
The plotline is so engaging and entertaining that the viewer feels transported into another world.
-
Tigmanshu Dhulia's homage to Dutt is saucy if somewhat uneven in tone and jagged at the edges.
-
...a decent political thriller. But, it would have worked so much better if the characters had engaged us emotionally.
-
It's hard to pick a mistake in the stylish, fast-paced Saheb, Biwi Aur Gangster.
-
...it's inspired by a classic, but let down by its own triteness. Not a perfect film, but one that has its moments.
-
Tigmanshu dishes out a product that is worth watching.
-
I walked away from Saheb Biwi Aur Gangster with the feeling that I needed to see it again, this time brushing aside the cobwebs of the earlier film and impressing on Dhulia's conceits a feminist reading.
-
...is one of those films which occasionally slides smoothly into top gear, but the ride overall bumps over traversed terrain.
