    Excellent movie

    The movie was simply superb. The acting of each individual actor along with the fantastic message provided to us in the shape of gabbar is just too good. This movie is a must watch if you are tired of a corrupt government and while you see the government being rectified, you will get some solid entertainment and a laugh every now and then too. It is an inspirational movie too. Overall a must watch if your an akshay kumar fan and also a fan to see an end of a corrupt government in 2 hours and 10 minutes.

    Gabbar Is Back

    Saw #GabbarIsBack in single screen. I swear it was a thunderous experience. People were clapping and whistling and all. Nothing new in the content, it has action romance emotions comedy message and great dialogue's. If you loved Singham, Rowdy Rathore, Dabangg then you Just Cannot miss #Gabbar its a Typical Masala muvie with great message. There is one Hospital scene before the intermission which is EPIC. THAT scene is beyond exceptional. Akshay Kumar as usual is Brilliant. Classic performance by him. Sunil Grover(Guthi) is impressive. Shruti Hasan looks hot. Kareena Kapoor looks beautiful in her cameo (Teri Meri Kahani) Chitrangda is quite seductive in Kundi mat. Overall a good entertainer and this can be the first movie of 2015 to cross 100 crore. Go watch and enjoy.

    Surprisingly good

    One of the first Bollywood movies I've watched. And I was highly impressed. Granted there is the OTT action and the escapism from the reality that seems to be in these genre of movies. But the plot and story have. Strong message that resonates throughout the film. Ive highly recommended this to others to watch.

    Akshay Kumar is making so much sensible movies nowadays. Holiday, Baby and now "Gabbar Is Back" with a bang. This is a story of Aditya/Gabbar (Akshay Kumar), a lawyer's assistant and the hero's romantic interest Shruti (Shruti Haasan), a lowly but ambitious constable Sadhuram (Sunil Grover), a swaggering CBI officer Kuldeep Pahwa (Jaideep Ahlawat) and a villainous real estate tycoon Digvijay Patil (Suman Talwar).

    In era of HNY, KICK like nonsensical movies, we have some of these gems. Watch it definitely 1 time watch!

    Time pass entertainer, no real depth.

    Akshay Kumar's Gabbar feels very much like the popular and loved Rajanikanth movies, where he finds and punishes corrupt people in unique and enjoyable to watch, ways. He pretty much succeeds in doing just that. If you are looking for cerebral cinema, this is not for you. This one is for those who like light straight forward on the face easy to decipher entertainment. Can watch, not a must watch.
