- Quotes
Dayal Babu: You are quite a fearless man, Pandey. You talk quite straight.
Inspector Chulbul Pandey: I listen quite straight too.
Dayal Babu: Chhedi Singh happens to be the youth leader of my party. And you want me to hand him over to you. Why exactly ?
Inspector Chulbul Pandey: An old lion in order to maintain his supremacy over the jungle at times has to sacrifice his own cubs. Besides, Chhedi Singh isn't your blood relative.
Dayal Babu: To be honest Pandey, I never liked Chhedi Singh either. Using my name and the position I have given him, he is involved in several illicit activities. I want you to figure out a way so that Chhedi Singh can be stopped. The means, I won't question them. Chhedi Singh should stay in the party but under my direct control. Another thing, why do you wear your sunglasses on the backside ?
Inspector Chulbul Pandey: So as to get a view of both what's in front and back of me.

Let me get this straight: 'Dabangg' is no path-breaking, life-changing cinema. It has an outdated story, which worked big time back in the 1980's, but it's presentation & execution is mind-blowing. This one's an out-and-out mass entertainer, with perfect direction, clap-worthy dialouge, Marvelous Action, Meldious Music & Salman like never before!
'Dabangg' starts with a bang, slips in the middle, but picks up big time in the final 30-minutes. The climax is bombastic, it's kick-ass & worth whistling. One more thing that works for this film, is that, it's not a violent experience. It has loads of Action, but there's hardly any bloodshed.
Abhinav's direction is perfect. The Screenplay is Mass-Meant, it has Action, Romance, Comedy & little bit Melodrama. Cinematography is satisfactory. Stunts are marvelous. The Music is a chart-buster!
In the acting department, Salman is the life of the show. As Chulbul Pandey, he performs fearlessly & leaves you in awe of him. Chulbul Pandey is sure to go down as a legendary character. Sonu Sood is another topper. He excels as the conniving villain. Sonakshi makes a good debut. Dimple is wonderful in a brief role. Arbaaz Khan is decent. Vinod Khanna is able. Om Puri is wasted. Ditto for Anupam Kher. Mahesh Manjrekar is good. Tinnu Anand is effective. Mahi Gill is casual.
On the whole, The Legend of Chulbul Pandey is worth your time and money. A Fearless, Thumbs Up!
