Dabangg
(2010)

RATING: 60%



A lot of nonsense but a lot of fun - especially in the action scenes. Bollywood has obviously learned a lot from films like The Matrix and the Bourne series - and it shows here in their impressive attempt to outdo both.

The story of two feuding brothers is completely disposable and all we are left with is a lot of macho posing-for-the-ladies wrapped-up in a faux-revenge plot against the villain for killing the two brothers' mother; bringing them together for the final showdown. The pitiful characterization asks us not to care about this as if it were an unimportant matter. But it is not and so this could have been so much better.
