Sahi Dhandhe Galat Bande

Acting skills of Parvin Dabas barely got noticed for his stint as an actor in Bollywood. Cut to round two, he picks up directorial reigns in "Sahi Dhandhe Galat Bande". What more, he pens as well and acts in it too. In all honesty, its a decent attempt for a first timer. The story addresses a few social issues primarily the knock on effects of capitalism in the agriculture sector. A few sub-plots are nicely woven into the main storyline.

Parvin Dabas showcases the new jagged side of himself and perhaps will get noticed this time around. Additionally he tops it up with a few wrestling stunts and gives the audience a peek to his chiselled body. The narrative gives a Tarantino feel (meaning the sepia tone, humour in the face of danger and unexpected bolt from the blue). His three friends give an authentic performance and noteworthy is the camaraderie between them.

Sharat Saxena, Yashpal Sharma and Kiran Juneja are dependable and lend adequate support. There was not enough meat in the role for Anupam Kher and Neena Kulkarni. The producer Preeti Jhangiani does a cameo of a news reporter.

The narrative could have been polished a bit in order to deliver a punch. Additionally, the start appears hasty and rushed, while the portion in-between sags. Cuts to flashbacks hamper the narrative and could have been avoided.

"Sahi Dhandhe Galat Bande" doesn't quite get there and leaves you desiring for more.
