An anti-corruption film, Gabbar Is Back, based on the Tamil hit Ramanaa, now tributes Sholay in the most open fashion, hoping to cash in on the magic of Indian cinema’s biggest hit ever. This time, Gabbar is the reformist and vigilante hero, and the tag-line says “Kaam hero ka, naam villain ka”.
Clearly, it was a stroke of inspiration on the part of the team to call the film by that iconic name with which even today’s children will connect if their families have been movie buffs (and how many Indians are not?). Says writer Rajat Aroraa: “Gabbar as a title had already been finalized when I was signed. So I had to capitalize on some iconic lines that live forever in our minds. At the same time, we could not have overdone this, so I have at the most used just four or five of Gabbar’s famous one-liners.”
Producer Shabina Khan admits that the idea for the title came from Sanjay Leela Bhansali. And why Gabbar? “That will be clear only after watching the film’s climax!” she declares.
Nevertheless, the universal appeal of the villain was also exploited in the film’s marketing, like a poster put up at a paan stall, in which one more ‘Gabbar-ism’ was modified—“Rishwat ka chuna khaaya, ab goli kha.”
