'Saheb Biwi Aur Gangster Returns' is a fine woven drama in pure Tigmanshu Dhulia's style and definitely a must watch. The screenplay is humorous, serious, erotic, revengeful & dramatic at the same time. The first half of the movie is good, though second half loses its momentum. The climax is little bit unexpected and should be, neither it would have been just a remake of its first part 'Saheb Biwi Aur Gangster'. O.o

You'll feel that you are watching some old classic cinema in between the modern gangsterism. Good performance by all, i.e. Jimmy Sheirgill, Mahie Gill, Irrfan Khan, Soha Ali Khan, but one more time Irrfan is the best. Hats off the writer(Again Tigmanshu) for the super fabulous dialogues, you cannot easily forget them like me. ;)

Be aware it's not 'High speed Bullet train' but a 'Tamancha on Bicycle' ; so commercial movie viewers, please stay away.

Rating is above average but not more than 7 due to a few weak scenes. :)

The sequel returns with powerful punch Lines and Dialogues. Yet again Brilliance of director (also story,screenplay and dialogue writer) Tigmanshu Dhulia.Man abuse more because they don't cry,You have become so cheap i don't even have change to give you these kind of punch lines are soul of movie. Rest is just another power and sex oriented thriller.

Though its a delightful watch "Saheb Biwi Aur Gangster returns" could have been another class if editing was bit tighter. In between it seem dragging on screen while difficult to keep track of who is with whom and what's their purpose with their flipping loyalties. The relation between "Saheb and Biwi" is still unfathomable. When love becomes hate and when hate becomes love is enigma to decipher (Yet I believe such relation exists). Everything else just circle around power, politics and vendetta.

Jimmy Shergill (Saheb) and Irfan Khan (Indrajit Singh) doing their best as a central characters. Mahie Gill (Biwi) good but sometimes irritating with her tone and overdoing. Rest did their part. And one more thing I liked in both parts is back-ground scores. The score which was played before building of certain situations was pleasure to listen and provided some different feeling.

Verdict : 7.5/10 For Keeping conversations deadly but missing out bit of crisp editing.

Bolstered by the success and critical acclaim of Saheb Biwi aur Gangster , Director Tigmanshu Dhulia returns with its sequel with much royal paraphernalia, bedroom politics, dialogue-baazi and controlled fireworks. The battle for supreme power continues in the rural heartland with Dhulia splashing his sassy imagination of what happens behind the ramparts of the fading forts.

To give you the plot line, the story moves on where the prequel ended, with the crippled,wheel-chair bound Saheb(Jimmy Shergill) and his alcoholic estranged Biwi/Chotti Rani,Madhavi(Mahie Gill)who is now an MLA , fighting off the assault launched by the revenge-thirsty but penniless Raja Bhaiyya (Irfaan Khan in top-form)whose fiefdom was snatched away by Saheb's ancestors.The fourth dimension to this plot is Ranjana (Soha Ali Khan) who is in love with Raja. Things take a turn when Saheb falls in love with Ranjana and arm-twists his father,Raja Birender(Raj Babbar) to agree to their marriage.

Tigmanshu instills dollops of intrigue to this riveting drama with his dubious and vicious characters which marks his prolificacy as a film- maker and showcases his grasp on the socio-political dynamics.His brand of cinema emanates from the grassroots, the settings are vibrant yet dark, dramatic yet humorous. If there is the Saheb and Biwi playing the bitter antagonists, you also have the self-proclaimed ruler, Raja who accompanies the Biwi in the twin pleasures of bottle and flesh.Like the porn-crazy politician who is still illiterate in operating his laptop and relates himself to a Tomato! Tigmanshu finds humour in tragedy and satire in reality.He gives an ethnic and rustic feel to the dialogues, a life to the otherwise dilapidated royal mansion and an exposure to the etiquettes of the royal trappings. His inclination to poignancy is testimonized by the haunting score of 'Lag Ja Gale' which forms a metaphor to the characters' emotional hollow.

SBAGR is indeed performances galore.Improving with every outing by leaps and bounds, Jimmy shergill is in dazzling form who portrays angst, his animosity towards his wife and the egoistic evil with perfect flourish. As the seductive Chotti Rani,Mahie not only looks ravishing in chiffons but also gives her character the required impetus to depict her yearning for love through her drunken drawl.Irfaan Khan is the Betaaj Badhshah of this enterprise!He displays an array of emotions with so much of conviction that you crave "once more ! once more!".Soha Ali plays her part with good degree of sophistication and she provides an interesting counterpart to Biwi's character. Raj Babbar is his usual charismatic self while Rajeev Gupta as the politician is superbly impressive!

I go with 4 out of 5 for Tigmanshu Dhulia's Saheb Biwi aur Gangster Returns. As the game of chess gets chequered,we are in for an explosive interplay of love, lust and betrayal.Don't miss.

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? NO

Language: Mediocre | Sex: Strong (Porn included) | Nudity: Strong | Mouth-Kiss & Foreplay: Strong | Alcohol: Very Strong | Violence: Critical | Gore: Mild | Smoking or Drugs: No

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.

SBaG Returns has politics, romance, drama with some very predictable twists. This would be excellent watch who hasn't seen much of this genre's movies. Although having weak and predicable storyline, the film is backed by too good narration and clear portrayal of all characters.

I am big fan of Irfan khan and if i praise him it will be form of bias. But he is fabulously convincing actor and he proves one more time. Jimy, This actor is shining like polished diamond and getting better and better, last performance i saw was in Tanu Weds Manu, this is no less. Kudos ! Mahi and Soha too did justice to their characters.

The story of love, politics, revenge, falling in lust for getting to love, misunderstandings, bizarre climax -- is now highly common in Bollywood politics drama. Watch this for Irfan and Jimmy's performances and excellent narration!

Irrfan Khan put on an amazing performance here. Story was brilliant, acting was great, all up until the middle where things started to get confusing and story gets ruined. Even Irrfan cannot save it after that. Alot of plot holes, lost pace, and overall seems like a different movie. Could have been an amazing 10/10 but I still is worth watching.

A sequel to the 2011 semi-hit 'Saheb Biwi Aur Gangster', 'Saheb Biwi Aur Gangster Returns' Directed by the Supremely Talented Tigmanshu Dhulia, is A Delicious Thriller, that leaves its viewer stunned. A Twisted, Violent & Nail-Biting Film, that is sure to meet with critical & commercial success.

'Saheb Biwi Aur Gangster Returns' is about The Royal Scandal, where the war for power & prestige continues.

'Saheb Biwi Aur Gangster Returns' is stronger & cruder than its prequel. I loved the entire story, its so relentless & unforgiving. Dhulia & Sanjay Chauhan's Screenplay is Twisted, Violent & Nail-Biting! The characters are fabulously written & their actions unfold magnetically. Also, the twists and turns in the narrative are marvelous. Dhulia's Direction is powerful. He dominates every frame with detailing. Cinematography is excellent. Editing is proper. Art & Costume Design, are super. Music by Sandeep Chowta is decent.

Performance-Wise: Jimmy Shergill is fantastic. Such control & conviction in a performance is a rarity. Irrfan is spectacular, yet again. Mahie Gill is award-worthy. She plays a complicated part with effortless ease. Soha Ali Khan is at her very best in here. Raj Babbar is incredible in a strong supporting role. Deepraj Rana is effective. Pravesh Rana leaves a mark. Mugdha Godse sizzles in a raunchy item song.

On the whole, 'Saheb Biwi Aur Gangster Returns' is a must see. Grab a ticket now!

It was neither an amazing nor a bad movie. I had high expectations from this because of the starcast and Tigmanshu being the director. But my expectations were not fulfilled. This could have been better especially the ending.

SBGR was an average sequel to 2011's Sahib Biwi aur Gangster which has nothing much to offer except for good performances by the lead stars.

SBGR solemnly focuses on the war in the state of UP for ultimate power. Aditya Pratap Singh urges for the power , Indrajeet Singh wants to avenge by killing Aditya , Madhavi Devi wants get rid of her husband Aditya and Ranjana's father uses her to release his son kidnapped by Aditya.

Coming from the powerhouse director , Tigmanshu Dhulia who has given us wonderful Paan Singh Tomar, SBGR disappoints big time. Frankly speaking , I never liked the first part itself but my expectation was quite high as Irrfan Khan was added to star cast. The film gathers some steam in between but falls out in later reel. The movie has some strong performances and moments but it looses the track with half-baked screenplay. To make it worst , songs comes as a big hindrance.

Overall , I felt it was an unnecessary sequel to proceed. It could be a better option if you do not have anything else to watch. Average 2.5/5

After Going through all the reviews in IMDb i felt i need to write review for this movie. I can bet that those people giving it less than 8 rating don't know what to watch in a movie. They just want an actor to go 'Dhishum Dhishum' and 'Tathaiya Tathaiya' and no acting. Well let me make it clear that I am an Irrfan Khan fan, so some may find my review biased but believe me, this movie deserves all the praises. Coming to this movie-

Direction,Story and Screenplay- Hats off to Tingmanshu Dhulia for making this one better than first part. Intelligently written script with unpredictable plots, so unlikely bollywood. The entire movie will keep people guessing what will happen next. Kept me wondering what will happen next.

Acting- Irrfan Khan steals the show as 'Gangster'. Superb acting by this veteran actor. I don't wonder why this man is successful in Bollywood as well as in Hollywood, and not any other bollywood star. Mahie Gill is an intelligent actor and displayed why she is called so in this movie. Very well played role of 'Drunkard Biwi'. Jimmy Shergill also did a wonderful job as 'Saheb'. Soha Ali Khan finally learned acting and didn't let it down.

Overall- A wonderful movie that one should watch in theater. But Irrfan Khan steals the show. And the End is too unpredictable and awesome. Worth all the money.

The Royal Scandal, the war for power, and fight for money continue with the return of Saheb Biwi Aur Gangster returns. Royal 'Aditya' is trying to recover from his wife's betrayal and his physical disability. Meanwhile, 'Indrajeet Singh', a Prince whose property was confiscated by Aditya's family, returns to exact revenge. Madhavi Devi is now an MLA, her relationship with Aditya may have broken to shambles but her relation with alcohol is deep, dark and daunting. After two successful films director and producer planned a third installment of this series. Saheb, Biwi Aur Gangster 3 released on July 27, 2018.

Jimmy Shergill performance overshadowed Irfan Khan in this movie.

The characters are stronger than the script itself and the performances are just gonna leave you awestruck. The way Jimmy Shergill pulled off an award winning performance by just being limited to a wheel chair in majority of the scenes, is a testimony of superb direction and powerful dialogues. Mahie Gill delivers a stupendous performance, unpredictable from beginning till the end. Finally Irrfan and Soha Ali Khan's chemistry stands out amidst all the darkness and deceit portrayed in the film. This deserves a much higher IMDb.
