10 Reasons to watch Dabangg





1. I am not a Salman Khan fan...I mean...All the things that Salman does that seem clownish, stupid, over-acting or just plain out of place and unnecessary in other movies....Chulbul Pandey is his Carte-Blanche to do all these things on screen. All those dance moves and weird things that seemed stupid else where look apt with this character.

2. Five minutes into the movie, when the first action sequence is going on and Salman pauses the entire fight sequence to dance on a ringtone and tells one of the goons "Achhi ringtone hai forward kar dena" ...the viewer understands "This movie is not going to have a story!...at all." Hence, after that one keeps no expectations from the movie and just laughs off everything weird. The set down is one of the best things in the movie. If you went through the movie expecting a great story, you'd be sorely disappointed! This movie is for watching not seeing! Just watch!

3. The dialogues in the movie are awesome! Be it "Kamini se yaad aaya bhaabiji kaisi hai?" or "Us Chhedi me itne chhed karunga ki wo confuse ho jaayega ki saans kaha se leni hai aur...". The punchy dialogues and hard hitting one liners are back with this movie! And Salman's comic timing is amazing!

4. The background score and the music is awesome too! Its catchy, pleasing on the ears, well written, well shot! Dabang, Humka peeni hai, tere mast mast do nain, Chori Kiya and we will save the best for the last..Munni! A great job by Sajid-Wajid. :)

5. Now that we have touched upon the songs it would be unfair not to praise the choreography! Farah Khan has outdone herself! :) Simply by letting Salman be Salman and integrate all his weird, clowny gestures into dance steps. I mean the hopping on one leg, the thing with the belt...one says, only you Salman, only you!

6. The action sequences, well, well...they seem to be a cross between a hollywood movie and our good old south movies! Amazing, Amazing! Unbelievably entertaining!

7. The hot bods! Sonu Sood and Salman set the screen on fire. Interesting thing is, Sonu displays his well toned, well oiled body throughout the movie where as Salman shows his only in a 5 min. action sequence towards the end. When Salman is enraged at the end, he just flexes his muscles and his shirt rips off and just flies away!! The entire theater went mad at this point of time!! :)

8. Yes, yes. Munni! She's amazing. Malaika starts the song very well, with her still amazing figure and dance skills. But when Salman enters, you have eyes only for him. You don't look at Malaika, such is his screen presence. Even in multiplexes the public comes on to the aisle and dances!

9. The fashion sense of the characters! It's kind of weird that this makes it to the top 10 reasons, but it's true! Dimple Kapadia's cotton sarees, Makkhi's floral bright printed shirts, Salman's formals in which he does all stupid stuff while looking perfectly formal :) And the Ray-Bans! Those beauties! :) They just add to the entire Chulbul Pandey image!

10. It's Salman! The trendsetter. When he took his shirt off, for the first time a lot of people wanted to have bodies like him and the body building and shirtless trend set in. Then there was the Tere Naam hairstyle. God! That was disgusting, still you could see people sporting it everywhere! The monkey washed jeans, the bracelets! He's made them all famous! So I wont be surprised if next people sport a Chulbul like moustache, or wear formals and that Ray-Ban :) I wouldn't even be surprised if mothers decided to name their kids Chulbul!

After all as Salman said "Hamara naam hamari personality ko shobha deta hai, Chulbul Pandey!"

When a man gets up to speak, people listen, then look. When a woman gets up, people look; then, if they like what they see, they listen.

Golden Rule #1 Never insist on your friends being friends with your boyfriend / girlfriend Golden Rule #2 Never have a boyfriend / girlfriend in your own circle of friends... Rule out any chance of a division of loyalty :)

Giving up doesn't always mean that you're weak, sometimes it means you're strong enough to let go

It is easy to love a perfect person. Everyone does it. But love is not about loving the most handsome, charismatic person in the world....Love is to know all about the imperfections of a person and yet love him/her like he/she was the most perfect person in the world.

My mother said "If you ever fight with your husband after you are married, don't think you can come and stay at your mother's place!" My brother said, "Di, come to my place and oh, get your kids too!" That's my brother for you :) Times like these I feel I am the luckiest sister in the world :)
