According to the director Neeraj Pandey, He had to come up with something unconventional and creative to catch public attention. As the Trailer says, The film is inspired by real-life incidents that transpired in the 80s, when a gang posing as fake CBI and Income-Tax officers duped people. The film also talks about the Forge Raid which was conducted by 'Fake' CBI Officials at Tribhuvandas Bhimji Zaveri Mumbai. Apart from Akshay Kumar (Who looks very different with powerful lines in the film), The film also stars Anupam Kher, Manoj Bajpayee, Kajal Agarwal, Jimmy Shergill.
The first look Trailer looks very catch, Face-Paced and hard hitting at the same time. The film is also filled with Akshay Kumar style humor. If you notice the 'Un-Cut' version of the Trailer, You will notice, Akshay Kumar also speaking a 'Foul' language for the first time on silver screen. Special Chabbis produced by Viacom18 Motion Pictures & Wide Frames Films, releases on February 8.
I usually don't watch Hindi movies (see about 3-4 per year). Like the other reviewers noted, everything about this film is brilliant. You are literally transported back to the 1980s. The attention to detail is remarkable. I am sure people who watch it over and over again for the sole purpose of finding faults may find some. Considering the BUDGET of this film, it is on par with Argo. The acting is superb and not just by the main cast but by almost everyone even the extras with 5 seconds screen time who probably had one line. In my opinion, the film could've done without the romance as it detracts from the masterpiece this film is. It's understandable that the film makers also desire the lucrative profits from the CD music sales. If offered with subtitles, I could see this film achieving success the world over. The film is intelligent, has good dialogues, witty, at times delivers chuckles. It is also nostalgic because the attire, landscape, old tech reminds us of the ol days w/o smartphones, computers. Best Bollywood movie since 3 Idiots. It is absolutely mind boggling that films far inferior do so much better at the box office.
