Gulabo Sitabo - Negative Reviews/ Biggest Flop of 2020

[welcomewiki]

Storyline

Welcome to the world of Gulabo Sitabo where two slimy scheming foxes in a game of one-upmanship, each one attracting other members to their clan and each one with an agenda of his own. Meet 'Mirza' (Amitabh Bachchan) - a 78yrs old landlord, who would move heaven and earth for his most prized possession - an old dilapidated mansion in the heart of Lucknow. But this garden of roses comes with its own cluster of 'pricky thorns' - tenants. Amongst them most prominently, 'Baankey' (Ayushmann Khuranna)' a shrewd, sly and squatted tenant, who matches Mirza bit for a bit in their ceaseless bantering. Gulabo Sitabo is a quirky slice of life where Mirza and Baankey are like Tom and Jerry - unique and unmatched, friend and foe, naughty and smart, little and large, all combine to produce chaos

Negative Reviews:

• Gulabo Sitabo is an average hit which could have offered much more surrealism provided the scripting was crafted accordingly.
  
• The film holds a unique and appealing narrative which runs solely on its two central characters and to everyone’s surprise they have managed to hold off one's attention with their eccentric persona (3.5/5)
• For starters the Gulabo and Baankey are no less than the iconic cartoon characters Tom and Jerry as their never ending drama has been the force to keep the script advancing its graph and a slow yet successive pace.
• The film is merely 124 mins long, but offers you one of the most meticulously crafted drama that is etched onto your mind which speaks volumes about the content
• He seems to have noted a few cues from Parasite. The rapid and escalating narrative is what sets it apart, but a lot could have been expected from the director. However, while we try to contemplate the overall graph of this film, the director seems too hesitant to try something out of the box and it seems his direction has hit a roadblock at the first half itself

In conclusion, Shoojit’s comedy/drama Gulabo Sitabo is an average hit which could have offered much more surrealism provided the scripting was crafted accordingly. The film holds a unique and appealing narrative which runs solely on its two central characters and to everyone’s surprise they have managed to hold off one's attention with their eccentric persona. But, Ayushamnn and Amitabh have successfully shouldered the film which definitely makes it worthwhile.
