Director- Ali Abbas Zafar
Music- Sohail Sen
Friendship is forever and many Bollywood flicks have shown its various shades. And now director Ali Abbas Zafar has come up with Gunday.
Gunday is not just about goons and their struggle to rein Calcutta, but is also about the unbeatable emotional bonding between the male protagonists, which is more intense than any other relationship.
With Ranveer Singh and Arjun Kapoor, he resurrects friends for life emotion in an unusual manner. It starts from the 1971 Bangladesh Liberation War resulting in the separation of the region from Pakistan, which gave birth to an independent Bangladesh. The two young orphans Vikram and Bala were refugees then and they witnessed it all. They battled each and every day for their living and finally ventured into Kolkata (earlier known as Calcutta) to find a work space in a coal field and ultimately to become the coal bandits.
The Kolkatians swear over their indestructible friendship and tout them as the most powerful and fearless goons of the city. On the other hand, they fear none but Nandita (Priyanka Chopra), a cabaret dancer, they are in love with. Between all this romance, a cunning officer ACP Satyajeet Sarkar (Irrfan Khan) is plotting his net to trap Gundays and wants to end their world of black market.
How their friendship survives through all this, is the tale the director narrates in this flick. Ali Abbas Zafar might not be applauded for his debut flick Mere Brother Ki Dulhan but this time he gets his share of praise for creating Gunday.
Though the film is fast-paced, but its characters are more powerful than the flick. The scenes have vitality, which tempts you. The fearless duo of Ranveer-Arjun jumps over the sequences with high energy allowing the viewers to celebrate their friendship and courage. Their bromance hit by the entrance of Priyanka tickles your funny bone at the same time.
The biggest power lies in the momentum, which never drops. And by the time Irrfan enters the scene, Ranveer and Arjun have already provided you ample amusement with their die-hard chemistry. The flick takes an investigative shape in the second half and through this the test of their bonding in the climax is what is kept in accentuation.
All this sets in the beautiful Kolkata where Ali and cinematographer Aseem Mishra outline some of its perfect settings in this flick.
And as aforesaid, it’s the characters that win you over. Ranveer Singh who last year gave some of the passionate performances goes one step ahead. He charms you once again with humour and silent aggression.
Arjun Kapoor, just two flicks old but look out for his intense act. He along with Ranveer is a hard nut to crack.
Priyanka Chopra is an eye candy. She brings down men to their knees as a cabaret dancer and is brilliant in her act.
Irrfan Khan as a clever cop, who plays with minds and emotions of our protagonists, is razor-sharp.
Saurabh Shukla who plays a lawyer defending the baddies takes his share of cake and excels.
Music by Sohail Sen is high on energy. Almost all the tracks are wonderfully composed. Jiah, Jashn-E-Ishqa, Tune Mari Entriya are already the chartbusters. Julius Packiam adds the background score which perfectly adds to the scenes.
Gunday celebrates friendship. It doesn’t matter it’s a Valentine Day or some other day.
Movie Rating: 3.5/5
