Pyar koi karta nahi madhaviji
ishq mein aadmi hota hai 
aur woh dikhta hai ... 

Just like the last part, the second part of Saheb Biwi aur Gangster is also loaded with powerful dialogues and great direction by Tigmanshu Dhulia. Aditya, Saheb (Jimmy Shergill) despite being on a wheelchair for major part of movie delivers a rocking performance, that dialogue 'Ab hum aur darayaenge'.  Madhavi, Biwi (Mahie Gill) is more vulnerable and still mentally ill. Her bold scenes are very less this time around, instead its her drunk mode that is highlighted throughout, which she does so well.. note her in the 'Idhar Gire' song where she dances along with Ranjana (Soha Ali Khan). And her quest for shayar mard.

Indarjeet (Irrfan Khan) is wonderful as always, Tigmanshu makes sure he gives him much more screen space than others get specially in 1st half. Love the private conversations he has at the old haveli.

Soha is the weakest link in the plot, her character isn't properly etched out but that doesn't take away the fact that her performance wasn't upto the mark at all when other three were superb. The final shot of her would in any other scenario been a classic scene turns out just another scene due to her poor portrayal.

Pravesh Rana was good in his debut, the goggles scene though reminded of Salman Khan, but then in one scene he himself talks of Shahrukh Khan, so he could had been fond of Chulbhul Pandey.

Rajiv Gupta plays the corrupt politician very well, that porn sequence with Irrfan was hillarious. And the end of the item song Media too.

Good supporting performances by rest cast. There's a very good chance of Trilogy, where the post marriage life of Ranjana could be intermixed with the pre marriage life of Madhavi. Just a thought that, probably godfather influence that is for me. But, I hope Soha isn't given any role in the next movie.

Special mention to the way 'lag jaa gale' song is used in the narrative.

Saheb Biwi aur Gangster Returns misses only at two places, one is Soha's below par performance, and other the songs which are very average. Apart from that, the film is a very good watch.


Verdict : VERY GOOD
