ashdoc53 Looks like the ban on showing smoking in films has been lifted......And as if to compensate for the lost years when smoking was not allowed to be shown in films , the film shows everyone smoking...........Including the women too.....AAAHH the women......They form the delectable part of the film............Showing off their sensuous curves in backless blouses , deliberately standing in alluring poses , showing desire on their faces , enticing their lovers and audiences with lipstick on oh so inviting lips , making wanton love on the double bed or even on bare rocks in the hills , behaving in a free , almost shameless manner and showing passion in every move.....Leading the pack is Mahie Gill , a sultry woman waiting , waiting , just waiting for the husband who , quite unbelievably , is always the arms of his mistress !!Now why would anybody neglect a woman as seductive as that and go into the arms of another woman ??Thats because everybody , including the saheb ( husband ) , biwi ( Mahie ) has his or her's ata dhill in this crumbling mansion--the ruins of a once powerful royalty , but now fallen on hard times.....Doesn't matter--the fact that the saheb goes into the arms of another woman gives the audience the chance to see another temptress ( the mistress ) in action..........And action she gives--gives all the oohs and aahs while making love , and giving embraces with her lovely arms entwined around the saheb's neck.....But what about the biwi ??Doesn't a woman filled with tempestous desire need to fulfill her passions , her needs--needs which just cant be fulfilled by whiling the time in smoking and drinking , and waiting for the love which will never come from the erratic husband.....Enter the ghulam....or , err , gangster--in the form of Randeep Hooda--a person sent by a rival gangster to keep a watch on the saheb , waiting for a chance to bump him off............Thats because the saheb has entered the dangerous underworld of murders and contract killings in order to finance his crumbling monarchy--thereby earning a lot of dangerous enemies.....But the movie veers off course as instead of concentrating on his job , the gangster becomes ghulam of the biwi's heart.....Who cares anyway ?? We get to see more passion in action , this time between the biwi and the gulam--on bare rocks in the hills , in secret hideways in lonely hills ....naked bodies burning in desire....and happily for the audiences eyes ( and other parts as well--you naughty ) , fulfilling it....And its passion that counts.....For who cares for the murder and the mayhem that is unleashed as the rival gangster tries to bump off the saheb , the hopelessly in love ghulam hatches a plot to kill both the mistress and the saheb in order to permanently get his ladylove the biwi , and ultimately the biwi has to choose between killing the ghulam or the saheb......that stuff occurs in all films anyway.....We had our fun.....now time to walk away from the theater.....its not a fantastic movie anyway.....good for a one time watch.....Verdict-- not fantastic , but decent enough.....

silvan-desouza Tigmanshu Dhulia has given several great films, Saheb Biwi Aur Gangster is a welcome addition to the list. Many people seem the film is a remake of Saheb Biwi Aur Ghulam but it isn't The characters are similar perhaps but there is a new dimension The film keeps you guessing throughout and yet again Tigmanshu Dhulia knows how to handle complex stories and he does it yet again The film gradually gets you sucked into their lives and it's difficult to tell how the film will endThere are several well handled scenes and many great plot twists some few flaws notwitstandingDirection by Tigmanshu Dhulia is superb Music is superb Jimmy Shergill yet again proves his talent, from a loverboy in initial days of his career to a smart character actor he has come a long way and his maturity shows here too, he handles his complex character perfectly Randeep Hooda is perfect in his role and lends the character the right tone Mahie Gill is superb in her role Shreya Narayan is okay, Vipin Sharma is brilliant Deepal Shaw is excellent, Deepraj Rana is superb

Tegveer Sandhu Saheb,biwi aur Gangster revolves around these three protagonists. Saheb, played by Jimmy Shergill, a sort of king without money but only terror.Biwi played by Mahie Gill, is saheb's wife who is horny, manipulative and also little psychotic. Gangster(Bablu), played by Randeep Hooda is the ambitious sidekick. While Saheb is busy with his intense affair outside, Mahie gill seduces and manipulates bablu for her own motives.All of the characters are well crafted,they are clever and have their own personal agendas to keep things interesting. And when sometimes things may start to slow down, there are frequent sex scene(though short) to maintain the the pace,perhaps,this is where this films excels.All performances are good. Jimmy shergill plays his role well, Randeep Hooda also does a great job of playing a crass though charming gangster. Mahie gill also does an acceptable job of a seductive and desperate wife.Rest of the cast is good as well.In the end this is a great film with adequate action,thrill, drama, a little politics and a enough sex.

bobbysing The foremost hurdle in a film like SAHEB BIWI AUR GANGSTER is its title itself which reveals the actual plot of the film right away and you very well know what they are precisely going to show as far as story-plot is concerned. So, it all comes down to the treatment, presentation and performances in such a venture, which fortunately is also the forte of its director Tigmanshu Dhulia, who has earlier given us films such as HAASIL, CHARAS and also PAAN SINGH TOMAR, which is soon going to release in the coming months.Right from his first film (and before that in the T.V. Serials too), the characterizations in Tigmanshu's script have always been well written, brilliantly executed and superbly performed by the cast without any exceptions. And same is the case with his latest SAHEB BIWI AUR GANGSTER too, which also has fabulous performances from almost everyone featuring in the film, which remains the biggest reason why it deserves to be seen at least once by everyone appreciating such innovative kind of cinema.No doubt the story and its key characters have been taken from the cult Guru Dutt classic SAHIB BIWI AUR GHULAM. But Tigmanshu molds this basic theme into a more bitter, mean and bloody format, full of love, greed and betrayals. As the story moves further revealing the dark side of it's every key person in the script, the actors start growing on you with their impressive acts and keep you engaged. Here apart from its lead performers, a special mention needs to be made for the attention given by the director to his supporting cast such as Vipin Sharma who is superb in his portrayal of the rival don and I seriously wished he had a longer role written in the script with more of his entertaining one liners. Also Deepraj Rana as Jimmy's trustworthy, Deepal Shaw (as Deepraj's daughter), Rajeev Gupta (as minister) and Shreya Narayan (as the mistress) leave their own mark in the overall impact of the film.In the lead acts, Mahie Gill scores the maximum in the complex role of a unsatisfied, neglected married woman, who is also a psychic patient. She is simply excellent as the BIWI and once again shows the powerhouse of talent hidden in her as an actress. Randeep Hooda as the GANGSTER surprises you with a very cool and underplayed kind of performance as required by its script. But I found Jimmy Gill, though effective but also repeating himself in that tough mood, playing the SAHEB.In short, SBAG is a film to be applauded only for its performance and impactful dialogues delivered effectively by its entire cast ensemble. But unfortunately, after his last SHAGIRD, it again cannot be included in the list of best efforts put in by its director, TIGMANSHU DHULIA. The man surely is capable of coming up with a much better product in terms of entertainment and value for money as seen in his most famous product till date, HAASIL.In his present offering SBAG, indisputably the performances are great, the dialogues are sharp and the cinematography is perfect, but still I felt the entertainment factor missing in the film somehow. Though in the first half its all enjoyable as you witness the new relationship forming within the characters, with a bit of skin show and the sudden twists and turns unfolding on the screen. But later on, the pace starts dipping, the sequences start repeating and certain questions are left unanswered which eventually go against the movie in the end. Moreover, the climax also leaves you confused with more deaths happening than survivals in the storyline.However, a worth mentioning merit of the film has to be its soundtrack with few great numbers including the peppy "Jugni" and the sad "Akhiyan Ton Bhul Hoyi" sung by Arif Lohar in his own incomparable style. And I really loved watching the short version of the song on screen with the gorgeous looking Mahie.Conclusively, whereas a certain section of viewers would surely enjoy the film due to its above mentioned merits, majority of them may complain the lack of entertainment factor in it. Still I would recommend it to the viewers who are familiar with the earlier works of the director and can appreciate innovative scripts (taking forward the characters taken from a cult classic). Perhaps I was expecting a lot more from one of my favorite directors.
