Janae Milner Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

Casey Duggan It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny

Guillelmina The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

Srikumar Krishna Iyer Didn't watch the 1st part, but picked this up based on some gud reviews online. And the movie was really well made, no big stars in the cast (Irfan is a star now, but one who still accepts characters that offer good scope for acting, hence getting his nod for Dhigmanshu dhulia wasn't a challenge i believe & also after Paan Singh Tomar's success), all the stars chosen based on their acting skills and their ability to do gud movies.No lag anywhere, right from beginning to end, there are many twists & turns which kept me riveted to my seat.Jimmy Sherfill does well as the king who still is still trying to control things in his area, along with his trusted body guard 'kannayya' who also does a gud job.Of course Irfan Khan rocks, his dialogue delivery is stunning, also thanks to the writers. Same with Jimmy Shergill, his punches owe their credit to the writers again.Raj Babbar also does a gud job.I highly recommend this movie to everybody if you want to watch a gud movie with a wonderful cast, gud writing and thrilling at the same time.

bobbysing The talented team of Tigmanshu Dhulia and Irrfan Khan has missed only once in the past with CHARAS, which was in fact a decent engrossing watch released in 2004. Apart from that the team is known for its worth watching gems such as HAASIL (2003) and PAAN SINGH TOMAR (2010) which were also duly awarded with their deserving honors. So after the fine SAHEB BIWI AUR GANGSTER (2011), I was excited enough to watch the talented duo together in its sequel, titled in a routine manner as SAHEB BIWI AUR GANGSTER RETURNS.But sadly the film turned out to be quite less impressive than expected with few great sequences in its first half and many unimpressive ones in the later leading towards a lackluster climax. To begin with the most questionable addition in the film, the title itself is not justified well since there is no gangster in the movie as such. The word GANGSTER has been forcibly imposed upon Irrfan Khan, who actually is from a local reputed family eager to take his revenge from the SAHEB. Continuing the story further (like a true sequel) we have the differently able SAHEB full of that old, hollow, seen before proud of his lost dynasty or power and the BIWI who is still the same man-eater lady, enjoying her new political status in a drunkard state. SBAGR begins with 3 brilliant sequences introducing the SAHIB, BIWI and GANGSTER played well by Jimmy, Mahie and Irrfan together. However this time the film doesn't entirely focuses upon the BIWI alone since we have another lady in the house too enacted by Soha Ali Khan. Moreover the sequel here is actually focused upon the men for a change, which might disappoint a few who wish to see some more skin-show taking a clue from its prequel. The interesting clashes within the characters begin once the intro part is over, followed by few enjoyable sequences like the one where Irrfan is interviewing a Politician watching porn on his laptop in the office itself. As a known feature of a Tigmanshu Dhulia project, all the impressive scenes are well supported by many brilliantly written lines too worth applauding.In short, it all progresses at a fine pace till the intermission as expected from the director and his talented cast. But unfortunately the same cannot be said about the film in its second half. The pace drops and the narration struggles to deliver the shocking twists due to many unwanted clichéd scenes like Jimmy standing up from his wheel chair, the feeble track of royal families having a nexus with the politicians and their locking up together in a room for few days. Further a mediocre item song surely puts you into a doubtful thinking mode as it is certainly not what Tigmanshu is known for in the industry as a path breaking director.Also I was really not convinced at all with its ineffective and debatable climax wherein Irrfan commits suicide despite of being the owner of so powerful or confident character and Jimmy gets caught by the police so easily despite of being highly influential in politics and underworld, a person who can also get one framed in a crime out of the country. The writing reduces the film to an average product in its final hour wherein it loses a substantial ground in terms of entertainment offered to the common man. The usual amusing shocks in the script of a Dhulia film are missing and the film once again ends on an open note making way for its another forced sequel in the near future.In visual term, SBAGR literally transports you into that regional ambiance of Raja Sahebs and their personal constituencies of the gone era superbly. The framework capturing all the grey characters in their various acts is simply outstanding and the background score compliments the look and feel of the film quite adequately. On the other hand, its soundtrack is strictly below average which clearly indicates that a Tigmanshu Dhulia film actually does not require any full length songs at all posing as hindrancesIn the performances department the film has a terrific act by Irrfan Khan who had a tailor made role perfectly matching his famous image on the screen. As a surprise Jimmy supports him well with a towering performance and it really feels good to appreciate him after a long gap (post many acts full of arrogance and attitude). Mahie takes it on right from where she left in the first part and is sure going to get many more fans on her side after this fabulous sensuous, drunkard act of a clever woman. Joining the trio, Soha too proves her caliber boldly by making her presence felt in the scenes crowded by a powerful cast.Raj Babbar impresses and Parvesh Rana (Big Boss fame) makes a confident debut as the newly appointed Inspector in the supporting cast. Though I felt his role didn't have any basic requirement, still the boy makes the best use of the opportunity given impressively. Posing as Jimmy's right hand, Deepraj Rana says a lot with his eyes only whereas both Anjana Sukhani and Mugdha Godse (as the Item Girls) remain wasted. Complimenting the talented ensemble, Rajeev Gupta as the politician rightly provides the much needs comical relief in his few sequences which can easily be called the highlight of the film undoubtedly. Concluding the review, SBAGR has an engrossing, intense first half and an average second resulting in more or less the same impact as generated by its prequel. Still it indeed can be rated as an enjoyable watch just for its characters and performances.

Tejas Nair The first movie was great in all its glory. Now, the sequel just makes the series a must-see. Irrfan Khan is so fabulous in SBAG that all other actors fall below. Jimmy Shergill & Mahie Gill are equally talented and perform very well. Soha Ali Khan is average moreover her portrayal did not amuse me.The type of thriller this, might look clichéd to some, but the final stages of the second half are truly magnificent. From the time it hits the interval, the plot gets gripping and you shouldn't miss a single sequence, because the screenplay is ballistic, direction is professional and cinematography is pure. Had the music been extravagant, I would have rated it 10. Now, even if you haven't watched the predecessor, this one will mar you with Tigmanshu's forte which is filming in a neo-urban style.SBAG is a must watch this March, because such a powerful movie hasn't been released before in 2013 and well, the previous week's releases were too gaudy. Special appreciation for Mahi's bold look and Jimmy's glamorous avatar. This one is no simple cinema as it will make you think and growl towards the end.BOTTOM LINE: 100% recommended if you love pure performances.WATCH OUT FOR: Irrfan Khan & Jimmy Shergill!Can be watched with a typical Indian family? NOLanguage: Mediocre | Sex: Strong (Porn included) | Nudity: Strong | Mouth-Kiss & Foreplay: Strong | Alcohol: Very Strong | Violence: Critical | Gore: Mild | Smoking or Drugs: No

dineshprakash Score 5/10 Director Mr. Tigmanshu Dhulia has elaborated the minute's details of scenes very well but fails to develop a sensible an interesting story. Making an independent film is another thing but making a sequel always directly or indirectly pressurizes the Director. You always try to go beyond the credentials of its first part. Before interval the movie is good but second half is very slow and illogical. For example, a person intrudes in Raja Saheb house just like cakewalk. Once he parks his huge SUV in front of gate and jumps the boundary wall and enters the Haveli but no one notices him or his SUV. Even it happens in night but not digestible. If that person is brave enough to take the risk but unnecessary risk is stupidity. Two persons meet discreetly in night in an isolated place but prefer to keep the inside light of vehicle on. Characterization is bad. A person, who had born to take revenge, when there is strong reason to attack he prefers to suicide. Raja Saheb is strong enough to take care of Police and law and order, so framing him was of no use. Story is not good. Few scenes are good. Especially the scene where, Irrfan Khan comes to take the interview of chief minister. This scene is very fresh and hilarious. Dialogues by Mr. Tigmanshu Dhulia are fantastic. Performance wise Irrfan Khan as Indrajeet Singh is good. Jimmy Shergil as Raja Saheb is OK. Mahi Gill is fine. A scene when she goes to meet the Commissioner, when she comes out. The way she walks reveals the incident happened inside. That is very subtle and great. Soha Ali Khan is OK. Deep Raaj Rana as Kanhaiya is fine. An Actor who played the role of Minister R. Tiwari is impressive. Music by Sandeep Chowta is below average. Even they inserted an item song to lure certain audience but song in not impressive.
