‘Zila Ghaziabad’ Movie Review- Tanmay Dubey

 

 

Starring :-  Sanjay Dutt, Arshad Warsi, Vivek Oberoi, Minnisha Lamba, Ravi Kishan, Paresh Rawal, Sunil Grover, Ashutosh Rana  with Shriya Saran and Geeta Basra in item numbers

Director:- Anand Kumar

‘Zila Ghaziabad’ by Director Anand Kumar is apparently based on a true story of Gang War that existed during 80’s and 90’s between two rival gangs in Ghaziabad led by Vivek Oberoi and Arshad Warsi respectively. Sanjay Dutt plays a smart cop who finishes this gang war and brings peace in Ghaziabad “ janha koi halka nahi mutta” as per the poster of the film.

The problem with the film begins from its start itself. After gathering an interesting cast and being able to manage a descent performance by most of them with Arshad Warsi standing tall among all, the film fades as soon as it begins. The Film is filled with cheesy and very weak dialogues with screenplay almost struggling to get the narrative going. This film could have been a good biopic like ‘Pan Singh Tomar’ or a good underworld film like ‘Satya’ and ‘D Company’ but instead the director chooses to tell the story as if the characters are larger than life, flashing Rayban goggles, doing gravity defining over the top action, with a heavy dose of similarity in sequences with films like Dabangg and Rowdy Rathore. 

This confusion of the director whether to make an action film based on real incident or to make a masala film with item songs, having loud background score leaves the audience equally confused And one does not help but end up feeling as if they are watching and old gangster movie straight out of 90’s. Hopefully the film might do good business in single theaters and small towns.

The film has non inspiring music and no comic content makes watching this movie like walking in the rough with hot scorching sun on the top. !
