Sahib Biwi aur Gangster: Movie Review
Who
want's to watch a movie with the almost same story and not so
great treatment? 'Sahib Biwi Aur
Gangster' takes its name from greatest Hindi film 'Shib Biwi Aur Ghulam (1962 movie)'.
There are some common points in these two films like, the rich man has a
mistress and he has hardly any time for his beautiful wife, who is almost living
in seclusion. There was a house help in ‘Saheb Biwi Aur Ghulam’ who was
faithful to the rich man and his wife. Here, director Tigmanshu Dhulia instead of house help mends his plot
to introduce a opportunist character who develops a relationship with his
master's wife. This film has used Uttar Pradesh as its milieu and tried
hard to infuse local sensibilities and lingo with the huge emphasis on
delivering dialogues as much loudly as the actors (Randeep hooda,
Jimmy Shergill, Mahie Gill) can.
This
film might have worked as a good thriller but it deviates many times. Direction
is not as impressive as I expected with Tigmanshu who has directed a very
powerful film like Haasil.
I
feel, what differentiates between director like Vishal Bhardwaj and Tigmanshu Dhulia is Vishal always
tries to improvise himself with the craft, story and he is the one director who
squeezes his milieu to the core and always gives an authentic feel to the
movie. Tigmanshu has to work hard on these lines to give memorable movies like
Vishal Bhardwaj.
Technically speaking u r rite. waise doston ke saath dekhein to mast hai :-)
