Gunday review:
Rebels/ outlaws made for some classic films in the 70s - Deewaar, Sholay, Kaala Patthar, Laawaris to name a few. These movies worked primarily due to the brooding intensity and swag of Mr. Amitabh Bachchan plus his cracking on-screen camaraderie with co-stars like Dharmendra, Vinod Khanna etc.
Gunday has its plot and intent right. Its a classic 70s set up. But then.. neither is Ranveer Singh an Amitabh nor is Arjun Kapoor a Dharmendra or Vinod to pull off this kinda no brainer actioner. Priyanka Chopra,in various state of undress, has little scope to perform in her half baked role. Finally, Gunday doesn't even pass muster as an ode to 70s Bollywood. Skip it.
