Although the plot is dead simple, it still has enough juice in it

Director Abhinav Kashyap puts Salman Khan in Rajnikant's shoes in action sequences while the film's setting in U.P gives it a grand scope to explore the bhojpuri realm and take advantage of it for entertainment through dialogs and characters. Although the plot is dead simple, it still has enough juice in it to keep its momentum going with action, romance, comedy and Salman's screen presence. There is something about Salman's performance here that may not necessarily be charismatic but it engages you enough to make you whistle even in a multiplex (although this is totally a G7 or Chandan movie). This is Sunny Deol on drugs and Rajnikant revamped for Bollywood. Dabangg is different from 'Wanted' yet similar in Salman's prowess against adversaries. The music by Sajid-Wajid-Lalit is hummable with Tere Mast Mast and full of masti with Munni Badnaam and Humka Peeni hai. Reminiscent of 'Omkara's title song is Hud Hud Dabangg with excellent cinematography. Salman in all these songs is a charmer and looks to be enjoying the filming completely. There is no choreography. Just some drinks on- the- house. As the unstoppable Macho-man, Salman Khan excels in action sequences. He is, of course known to be stiff and it becomes very apparent while he is dancing but it is fun to watch no doubt, when he lets loose in most songs and just goes wild. Delivering bhojpuri dialogs, threats and romanticism, Salman Khan earns your whistling and hooting. Wanted and Dabangg both would've been catastrophic flops if it weren't for Salman re-inventing himself. Here, he doesn't look like he is out to prove that point. Most of the time, you can see him simply enjoying himself. Arbaaz Khan is passable but could've been sillier to add to the fun as Makhi. Om Puri, Vinod Khanna and Anupam Kher in cameos were superlative while Mahesh Manjrekar delivered a shockingly good performance as a drunkard father. Sonu Sood has been better in 'Jodha Akbar' but he is quite adequate as Chulbul Pandey's adversary. Newcomer Sonakshi Sinha looks beautiful, can put up a straight face pretty well and can compete well against her contemporaries. It goes without saying that Dabangg was never going to be an intellectual enricher. This is pure, flawed entertainment and that is how it needs to be enjoyed. The action seems like a spoof of our southern counterparts and therefore, is fun to watch. Dialogues, however rude at times: 'haraamzade se yaad aaya, aapke sasur kaise hai?' are thoroughly laugh worthy and the sensational cinematography around Salman's entry at various points in the film augments his heroism. Considering these factors, Dabangg offers tremendous value for money and is no surprise that it opened to such an overwhelming response. Nevertheless, this is not going to be a revolution in Bollywood but just a passing tide and it better remain that way.

Decent timepass but nothing great

When the film was launched, I felt Salman who plays a corrupt cop will have a negative role and I was interested afterall even Abhinay Kashyap brother of Anurag Kashyap debutting as a director but apparently Salman changed the script after WANTED became a hit, added south style action, a villain plot, comedy and dances.

The film doesn't really have a different plot but the depiction of UP(where the director hails) is quite interesting maybe not realistic. The clash in the family also is well handled though the romance angle seems 80s style yet it works a bit The villains track and the clashes are well handled and the end too is good but Salman's shirt going flying is too much

Direction by Abhinay Kashyap is decent Music is good, Munni Badnam became famous other songs too suit the proceedings well

Salman Khan seems to be having a ball, tries hard to speak local dialect and does well in his role, thankfully he has one hairstyle throughout(almost) Arbaaz Khan is alright, Dimple Kapadia is decent Sonakshi is okay for her debut, Vinod Khanna is good Om Puri's role was apparently cut and made a guest appearance he is okay Sonu Sood is great, Mahesh Manjerekar(regular of Salman) is okay Anupam Kher has 2 scene role.
