Babumoshai Bandookbaaz

                             

                             



From India’s very own wild wild west comes a story of boom boom gun shots and crazy chuthiyapa. A story where women are overdosed with testosterone, you can imagine the condition of the men. This is a film about a contract killer Babu who kills people without blinking an eye. Ruthless, sensationless and egoistic, Babu also takes great pride in his bravado. You know what they say about small people – Tiny men, HUGE EGO. Nawazuddin Siddiqui shows his usual but good cocky craft with dollops of one liners and machismo. 

                      This film is for the young male audience high on adrenaline, who get a hard on thinking about shooting people and fucking everything that has a hole. The theatre was full of them, mind you, and they were trying real hard to engage in a one on one with Babu, the protagonist. All their fantasies have come true with sultry women seducing the gun in their pants and killing contracts seducing the gun in their hands. If only they had guns, I would probably be rotting in some dark corner of the movie hall right now. For they were totally charged and laughed at every chuthiya and bhenchod dialogue that spilt out of men, women, et al in the film. 




                Divya Dutta looks formidable and powerful. A great performance by Bidita Bag, uninhibited and wild. Tahir Bhasin is a strapping stud with a great physique and raw appeal. He shows promise and was a good casting decision. I was expecting a great film of the Omkara and Gangs Of Wasseypur genre. But this film is stupid and moronic. Too many gun shots and too much killing. If only there was some  politics and plotting mixed up, it could have been scrumptious and tasty. The story is nice, but the bloodshed and an over the top ending killed it. I have suddenly lost the value of human life. Boom.

Rating - 2.5 / 5
