The Master, the Wife and the Gangster Return

Irrfan Khan put on an amazing performance here. Story was brilliant, acting was great, all up until the middle where things started to get confusing and story gets ruined. Even Irrfan cannot save it after that. Alot of plot holes, lost pace, and overall seems like a different movie. Could have been an amazing 10/10 but I still is worth watching.

The Royal Scandal, the war for power, and fight for money continue with the return of Saheb Biwi Aur Gangster returns. Royal 'Aditya' is trying to recover from his wife's betrayal and his physical disability. Meanwhile, 'Indrajeet Singh', a Prince whose property was confiscated by Aditya's family, returns to exact revenge. Madhavi Devi is now an MLA, her relationship with Aditya may have broken to shambles but her relation with alcohol is deep, dark and daunting. After two successful films director and producer planned a third installment of this series. Saheb, Biwi Aur Gangster 3 released on July 27, 2018. Jimmy Shergill performance overshadowed Irfan Khan in this movie.

It was neither an amazing nor a bad movie. I had high expectations from this because of the starcast and Tigmanshu being the director. But my expectations were not fulfilled. This could have been better especially the ending.

Standing ovation for tigmanshu dhulia & powerful performances of jimmy shergill , irfan , mahie gill ...Both jimmy , mahie have performed like lion & lioness of jungle ...Power , greed ,politics , lust , betrayal , love ,revenge , everything here ..Must watch this masterpiece ...Hats off to tigmanshu dhulia ..

SBaG Returns has politics, romance, drama with some very predictable twists. This would be excellent watch who hasn't seen much of this genre's movies. Although having weak and predicable storyline, the film is backed by too good narration and clear portrayal of all characters. I am big fan of Irfan khan and if i praise him it will be form of bias. But he is fabulously convincing actor and he proves one more time. Jimy, This actor is shining like polished diamond and getting better and better, last performance i saw was in Tanu Weds Manu, this is no less. Kudos ! Mahi and Soha too did justice to their characters. The story of love, politics, revenge, falling in lust for getting to love, misunderstandings, bizarre climax -- is now highly common in Bollywood politics drama. Watch this for Irfan and Jimmy's performances and excellent narration!

SBGR was an average sequel to 2011's Sahib Biwi aur Gangster which has nothing much to offer except for good performances by the lead stars. SBGR solemnly focuses on the war in the state of UP for ultimate power. Aditya Pratap Singh urges for the power , Indrajeet Singh wants to avenge by killing Aditya , Madhavi Devi wants get rid of her husband Aditya and Ranjana's father uses her to release his son kidnapped by Aditya. Coming from the powerhouse director , Tigmanshu Dhulia who has given us wonderful Paan Singh Tomar, SBGR disappoints big time. Frankly speaking , I never liked the first part itself but my expectation was quite high as Irrfan Khan was added to star cast. The film gathers some steam in between but falls out in later reel. The movie has some strong performances and moments but it looses the track with half-baked screenplay. To make it worst , songs comes as a big hindrance. Overall , I felt it was an unnecessary sequel to proceed. It could be a better option if you do not have anything else to watch. Average 2.5/5

Bolstered by the success and critical acclaim of Saheb Biwi aur Gangster , Director Tigmanshu Dhulia returns with its sequel with much royal paraphernalia, bedroom politics, dialogue-baazi and controlled fireworks. The battle for supreme power continues in the rural heartland with Dhulia splashing his sassy imagination of what happens behind the ramparts of the fading forts. To give you the plot line, the story moves on where the prequel ended, with the crippled,wheel-chair bound Saheb(Jimmy Shergill) and his alcoholic estranged Biwi/Chotti Rani,Madhavi(Mahie Gill)who is now an MLA , fighting off the assault launched by the revenge-thirsty but penniless Raja Bhaiyya (Irfaan Khan in top-form)whose fiefdom was snatched away by Saheb's ancestors.The fourth dimension to this plot is Ranjana (Soha Ali Khan) who is in love with Raja. Things take a turn when Saheb falls in love with Ranjana and arm-twists his father,Raja Birender(Raj Babbar) to agree to their marriage. Tigmanshu instills dollops of intrigue to this riveting drama with his dubious and vicious characters which marks his prolificacy as a film- maker and showcases his grasp on the socio-political dynamics.His brand of cinema emanates from the grassroots, the settings are vibrant yet dark, dramatic yet humorous. If there is the Saheb and Biwi playing the bitter antagonists, you also have the self-proclaimed ruler, Raja who accompanies the Biwi in the twin pleasures of bottle and flesh.Like the *-crazy politician who is still illiterate in operating his laptop and relates himself to a Tomato! Tigmanshu finds humour in tragedy and satire in reality.He gives an ethnic and rustic feel to the dialogues, a life to the otherwise dilapidated royal mansion and an exposure to the etiquettes of the royal trappings. His inclination to poignancy is testimonized by the haunting score of 'Lag Ja Gale' which forms a metaphor to the characters' emotional hollow. SBAGR is indeed performances galore.Improving with every outing by leaps and bounds, Jimmy shergill is in dazzling form who portrays angst, his animosity towards his wife and the egoistic evil with perfect flourish. As the seductive Chotti Rani,Mahie not only looks ravishing in chiffons but also gives her character the required impetus to depict her yearning for love through her drunken drawl.Irfaan Khan is the Betaaj Badhshah of this enterprise!He displays an array of emotions with so much of conviction that you crave "once more ! once more!".Soha Ali plays her part with good degree of sophistication and she provides an interesting counterpart to Biwi's character. Raj Babbar is his usual charismatic self while Rajeev Gupta as the politician is superbly impressive! I go with 4 out of 5 for Tigmanshu Dhulia's Saheb Biwi aur Gangster Returns. As the game of chess gets chequered,we are in for an explosive interplay of love, lust and betrayal.Don't miss.
