This Valentine’s it’s time to celebrate friendship and not just love. In Gunday, we get to see the inseparable friendship between Ranveer and Arjun. But we aren’t saying that there’s no love
Ranveer Singh and Arjun Kapoor’s much awaited Gunday has hit the theatres and we must say, these boys know how to entertain. It’s said that behind every successful man, there is a woman. But in the case of Ranveer and Arjun in Gunday, the quote is meaningless, or rather works in the opposite manner. To know what we mean, watch the film. Wink, wink! These Gunday guys need no lady or romance to seek your attention; their bromance is more than enough. Of course, Priyanka Chopra has a substantial role in Gunday, but it’s the boys who have our heart.
While Arjun Kapoor plays a hot-headed Bala, Ranveer Singh plays Bikram, the more understanding fellow. Right at the start of the film, the younger version of the duo flee Bangladesh ‘coz Bala commits a heinous crime. They arrive in Kolkata and work at a restaurant for living. But not for long ‘coz the owner kicks them out soon, and at the same time lath paith pe lagti hain. That’s when Bikram comes up with the idea of looting trains that carry coal and selling it cheaper. Then enter the grown up Bikram and Bala and boy, and what an entry! The dark n’ handsome Bikram and Bala and their brawny bodies makes us drool!
Anyways, apart from their hot appearances, the dialogues in the film are catchy. Bikram and Bala are always up for challenges. So once while openly challenging a person, they say, “Agar jigar ke jagah jigar hain aur jigar mein dum hain, toh rok le aake.” It’s not only the dialogues that are good but also the dialogue delivery, which is very strong. And Bikram’s favourite dialogue is “Angootha laga de.” Oh, how we love his expression each time he says that!
So while Bikram and Bala are the Gunday of Calcutta, who are worshipped by the common man, Irrfan Khan as ACP Satyajeet Sarkar wants them behind the bars. A lot of incidents occur in the process, of course. Meanwhile, both Bikram and Bala fall in love with cabaret dancer Nandita (Priyanka Chopra). Oops! Will it affect their friendship? Will their bromance die ‘coz of this newfound romance? And who will win Nandita’s heart, Bikram or Bala? And will the other one be heartbroken? A lot of questions arise in our mind and most of them are answered in the first half. And it has quite a twist at the interval. The climax is such that you don’t want the movie to stop playing! Hmph! So, the plot of the film is such: Bikram and Bala are the Gunday, Nandita is their love interest and Satyajeet (Irrfan) wants to catch hold of them. The plot is simple but very interesting. You could call it predictable if you overthink but overall, the film is enjoyable.
Some dialogues that you can take home with you: Aag ke liye paani ka hona zaroori hain. Ho aap vardi vale par aapke tevar hain Gundon vale. And there are many such witty lines in the film, which keep you glued to the screen all throughout. The story is good and so is the music. It’s catchy. While some action scenes are funny, they’re still not all that bad. Bikram and Bala totally steal the show and their chemistry is sizzling. We aren’t kidding!
Gunday is about two inseparable friends. The film also has love. And of course, traitors. The star cast is strong and their screen presence stronger. Ranveer and Arjun are seen in quirky clothes but on the occasions when they flaunt their hot bods, you won’t mind the weird outfits. Priyanka’s closet doesn’t do justice to the era in which the film is set. But then again, why complain, hai na? She’s hot and why should boys have all the attention, right? Ali Abbas Zafar has done a great job with his cast. It’s certainly worth watching ‘coz Gunday isn’t a serious film which makes you leave the theatre with a heavy heart and neither a typical masala entertainer nor ‘the happily ever after’ kinda rom-com. Gunday is different and we love it!
