Due to his image of a comedian, Tushaar Kapoor fails to convince as a goon. As the baddies Manoj Bajpai,and Sonu Sood ,have also done an excellent job. John Abraham has excelled in his role and has carried the film throughout.
History of shootout at wadala movie#
Director Sanjay Gupta has no doubt made a stylistic movie and has got out some good performances but has gone overboard in the treatment The climax shoot out is very well done and in the real Sanjay Gupta style.Īnil Kapoor, Mahesh Manjrekar and Ronit Roy as the cops have acted convincingly. Every 15 minutes or so you get a sense of Deja vu.

The film is a mix of few films of the past mainly Vaastav (innocent guy forced by circumstances to become a don) and Gangster ( the girl gets her lover arrested ). In order to ensure good box office returns there are 3 item numbers by Priyanka Chopra, Sophie Choudhary and Sunny Leone ( This last dance borders on vulgarity and the choreographer has gone over the top trying to please the front benchers.) Another worrisome aspect is that the main character John Abraham is shown too black with hardly any redeeming features of character. Very soon we will be having a censor category called NFA( Not for family audiences) Compared to this film RGV's Satya looks like a religious discourse. However the movie has used many profanities in the dialogue and got away with it even granted that the characters are goons.
The end result is of an average film but high on entertainment for the masses but you come out wondering if this is the same Sanjay Gupta who gave us comparatively better films like Kaante, Musafir, and Zinda. So our very own Tarantino inspired Sanjay Gupta has a strong screenplay with 4 goons, 3 cops,one moll with a golden heart, and 3 item girls and mixes them into a heady cocktail of action, blood and gore with a sprinkling of sex scenes. The film goes on for too long and the "it's good to be bad" aphorism becomes stale. By the time the actual shootout arrives, I had been put off by many aspects of the film and didn't care what happens to the major players. There is nothing for real men here though. They might even discover the new method of doing push-ups while making love. The male population will flock to the single screens and whistle and applaud at the dialogues and item songs. It also exhibits the lack of originality present in films about crime. It shows the everlasting impact of a masterpiece. I have also come to a realization that it is next to impossible trying to make a gangster film without having traces of The Godfather (1972) in it. Do filmmakers have no social responsibility towards their audience? Towards women? I am appalled in ways I don't wish to address. There is one scene where a gangster openly says he would rape women as a part of gangster code. Dabanggs and other potboilers have all had item songs, which objectify women and show men as lustful predators here it's overdone to the point where it just doesn't bode well for anyone. Tusshar Kapoor is another actor who can't play a character. John Abraham has always had limitations more than virtues but at least a few scenes where he makes an impact would have sufficed. While it has good supporting actors, the main actors can't hold a single scene together. After watching that I knew my brain isn't in for any kind of treat. There is a ludicrous montage of him getting his gym training inside the prison. After going to jail, he turns over a new leaf of being a full-on badass. He wants to be a good boy but gets tangled up in dirty business because of his brother. John Abraham plays Manya Surve, the college student turned body-builder turned gangster. It proudly says, "Be Indian, abuse Indian". After a point the dialogue-baazi takes refuge in abusing for no reason. There is brazen dialogue-baazi and when it is delivered by seasoned actors like Anil Kapoor and Manoj Bajpayee, it is genuinely funny. Surprisingly, Shootout at Wadala is engaging in parts. Inject high amounts of testosterone and add 3 item songs and you have a hit. On paper, this is a formula that should succeed commercially. A perfunctory mix of the punches from Dabangg (2010) with the verve of Once Upon A Time in Mumbaai (2010). Shootout At Wadala is a gangster film that borrows from many gangster films and adds Bollywood masala to it.
