Salman unbounded..!

First things first. This is my short review of Salman Khan's latest film-

DABANGG! Of Salman Khan, for Salman Khan and by Salman Khan! Oh sorry, forgot to add the adjective- it's SUPERSTAR Salman. Without a doubt, He's our RAJNIKANTH! I hope u get by what i mean. If u have loved apna Sallu for even one moment in ur life, then u just cannot miss this film. Taran Adarsh gave 4.5 stars but if u love Sallu, it's no less than 5 stars! Only he can carry off a name like Chulbul ROBINHOOD Pande yet seem believable! Only he can go on mouthing all d curse abusive words yet be the HERO getting thunderous claps with elan! Didn't even get a ticket on friday morning in 6 different theatres which is a rarity in Pune nowadays. Just enjoy the most f**k-all lyrics ever written in MUNNI BADNAAM HUI song, but still making u smile just watching Salman's tantrums.. Superhit guaranteed..!

So, here we go. When I write a review, it's always within the first few hours of watching the film, so I am always in the emotions created by the after-effect of the film. This film was no different. I was in awe of the reception people gave to this film.

What is with this film that people thronged the theatres and took it on their heads so much so that it beat the 3 IDIOTS day-1 record box-office collections? Granted that the trailers of this film were kick-ass. But there is neither an iota of brilliance of 3 IDIOTS nor a spoonful of genius of the inimitable Raju Hirani ! The storyline is as ordinary as we get to see onscreen nowadays. But still the film clicked and not just clicked, but smashed records.

It was one-man show all the way. Salman came, saw and conquered. With his zany Hindi, with his i-dont-give-a-damn look on face, with his brat attitude, with his ridiculous yet entertaining dance steps and most of all HIS STYLE! Even after all the controversies hounding him, he is still the darling of the masses. He is still loved by most of the people. Even if we know that he has committed heinous of crimes, we tend to forgive him and go watch his cinema. After watching Dabangg, we understand the definition of 'superstar'! A superstar is one who can ensure the success of his film even if it is the silliest film he ever starred in.

Shahrukh, Big B, Hrithik, Aamir are crystal clean, meaning they have never done anything disrespectful in their personal lives. On the other hand, Salman is all about disrespect. In all the interviews he gave to promote his film this past week, he never cleared the air surrounding any controversy related to him. He just played around with all the questions and effectively brushed past them. What is it with him that people still love him? With not a single so-called big director or banner backing him or not a exceptional storyline either, still how does he deliver superhits? Worth a stormy question right?

There's something about Salman that we love. Maybe we have a fondness for his brattish attitude. Maybe we are awe-struck by his confidence. Maybe we love the "MASALA" in his films. Maybe we love his controversies feeding our gossip-hungry brain. Maybe there's a Salman inside all of us wanting to shout out loud and say- "Maine agar ek baar commitment kar di, toh mein apne aap ki bhi nahi sunta"!

It is not always possible for us to give a i-dont-give-a-damn look on our faces, so we are content in identifying with him through his movies and maybe that is the reason why we still love and will keep loving Salman Khan!
