Plot: The third installment of Dabangg franchise digs out the backstory of what made Chulbul Pandey an innocent, sweet boy-next-door the loveable cop.
Review: For Salman Khan fans his film is euphoria, even if the script follows multiple formulas, which has been used multiple times in many films. Regardless, of what any critic would tell, there can hardly be nothing that can stop a Salman Khan film at the box office. Hence, director Prabhudheva has portrayed Salman Khan in the most heroic way possible and delivered exactly what was promised with Dabangg 3!
It has been Rajjo and Chulbul Pandeyji’s romance that has always been a highlight of Dabangg. But this time, the film is not about why he became Chulbul Pandey, it’s about how he became. Hence, the sweet and honest first-love vibes from Chulbul and Khushi’s love story has been showed and this flashback portions have really helped the viewers in connecting with a certain innocence Salman’s character in the film carries.
Sudeep the Kannada superstar, who plays the role of a villain Bali Singh (who falls for Chulbul's love interest Khushi) is perfect and provides a worthy face-off to Salman Khan aka Chulbul Pandey.
Saiee Manjrekar who makes her Bollywood debut in this movie, adds more value to the narrative because of the prequel track. She looked confident on-screen to pull-off some emotional scenes. Sonakshi is her usual chirpy self as Rajjo proves how better she has got at it. And Arbaaz Khan as Makkhi Chulbul's brother, is also spot on. Despite the earnest attempt by all the lead and supporting characters to do their work efficiently, this popular franchise could have been portrayed better.
With Dabangg 3, there isn’t much to explore in terms of music. When it comes to songs, Munna Badnaam Hua will work with its targeted audience, while the rest of the songs serve no purpose whatsoever.
Dabangg 3 is for every single Salman Khan fan out there. It might stop intriguing you at certain places, but overall Dabangg 3 is a well-packaged entertainer, which is true to its genre.
