Review: 'Saheb Biwi Aur Gangster' is the surprise package this week

Film : Sahib Biwi Aur Gangster
Director: Tigmanshu Dhulia
Cast: Randeep Hooda, Mahie Gill, Jimmy Shergill
Rating: *** and 1/2

This film certainly exceeds your expectations. The heroes of this film are definitely the tight script and the excellent direction that make the film an interesting watch. The characters play their roles well as the narration catches a quick pace.

The incidents take place in a small village where the descendants of the royal family still hold a sway over people and the minister is still a puppet in the hands of the village strongmen. The film is about a gangster, Randeep Hooda, who lands up in a village as a replacement driver for his uncle, who is the driver of Mahie Gill — the semi-schizophrenic wife of Raja, the heir of the royal family who is more preoccupied with his mistress than his wife.

As she gets increasingly lonely in the palace (that is slowly turning into a haunted house), she finds a sexual partner in her driver whom she uses to her advantage to snuff out the mistress and turn the tides in her favour.

There is an amazing chemistry between the two lead actors of the film — Mahie and Randeep. Though in some scenes she is conscious of the camera moving around her, in others she is completely oblivious of them.

The smooching scenes with Randeep are particularly sizzling and there are generous doses of it. Randeep shows that he can deliver if he gets the right script but somehow Mahie steals the show with her inhibited acting.

She portrays her sexuality with ease and the dark shades of her character seem to be sitting well on her shoulders. Jimmy Shergill does a good job as this one also reminds us of his earlier Tanu Weds Manu, he somehow exudes the same body language that he showed in that film. As the Raja who is still clinging on his last straws of his royalty and is ruthless in his demeanour.

The dialogues of this film are another plus. Go and watch it because this one seems to be the best of the lot.This film certainly exceeds your expectations.
