Rawal Afzal This film dishes up emotions like drugs, and if anyone is addicted to such stuff he's sure to enjoy this flick. It has the unbreakable friendship bond, enmity, betrayal, courage, emotions and above all four excellent performances in Ranveer, Arjun, Irrfan and Priyanka. I'm a big time anti-Arjun, but I think even he did really well here in this film.Of course, the story and the plot may not be something entirely new or extraordinary, but the films doesn't go dull even for a moment. However, let's touch upon the controversial aspect of this film:1. It shows of India mistreating Bangladeshi refugees. It offended some Indians I read.Then we move onto the two biggest controversial parts of it, the third being the one that caused protests!2. It shows that, for no apparent reasons, Bangladeshis consider themselves Indians. This is best seen in the scene where they kill that man on the train and shout out at him "How are they to be blamed for having been born on the other side of the border? How does it make you any better Indian for having born on this side?" Absolutely cringe-worthy patriotism propaganda!3. In its very introductory few minutes, Bangladesh's independence is portrayed as a by-product of an Indo-Pak war. And this, ladies and gentlemen, is the reason why this film ends up as the worst- rated film on IMDb thanks to the mass voting by the Bangladeshis - a campaign that was kind of officially led by some organisation of theirs on social media; and I totally understand their sentiment. Maybe I would've understood their objection to it better had I myself been a Bangladeshi, because they take great pride in their struggle for liberation and the number of people who lost lives for them.But I would think beyond those introductory notes read by Irrfan the first few minutes and rate it as a film based on its own story, film-making and performances. As a fan of Ranveer, I fully enjoyed this emotion-fest, complemented by three wonderful songs, especially that soulful Qawwaali. I can watch it any day and enjoy it all over again!

pjbhaumik Gunday was a controversial illustration. Ranveer Singh posted as a vulnerable romantic. Arjun Kapoor played the unrequited and jealous lover. Priyanka Chopra delivered a temptress. Irrfan Khan acted as the authority figure. The setting in Kolkatta made for the few short dance sequences. Irony compelled a must-see ending. Bangladesi people were a little outraged with the script's emphasis of Indian and downplay of Bangladesi contribution in the Indo-Pak war. Bangladesh and India each appeared in this ode to Kolkatta's plight. Factual evidence could have been clearly subject to bias for the target audience, yet the entertainment factor had been the main draw. Aditya Chopra produced one of the few Bollywood films having a superhero duo for a fun spirit like Dhoom!

Suman Shakya "Gunday" follows a familiar territory of best friends turning foes for their common love. What follows is an action packed story of petty thieves turning into the city's biggest outlaws and a cop relentlessly following the criminal duo. Such stories used to be favorite among the '70s film makers. Story-wise, the film isn't more than an average '70s action film full of improbabilities. You can't just digest Ranvir Singh and Arjun Kapoor as the most notorious bandits of Calcutta in the 80s as the film projects nor the police action against them looks much realistic. Overall, "Gunday" is weak in its story with unlovable characters and tastelessness. Performance wise too, the film falls short for the under performed roles of Irfan Khan and Priyanka Chopra. If the film grips a little, it's for the fast pace and the technical aspects of the film.Rating: 1 star out of 4

ghazwan124 Gunday is a fast paced film with great cinematography. The film is straight to the point throughout with hardly any irrelevant nonsense making it enjoyable and engaging throughout. Ranveer and Arjun have a great bond on screen and their acting in the film is amongst the best ever seen in film. Priyanka brings her brilliance and freshness that we have seen many times in her previous films.The film in total has a good plot, great songs, brilliant acting and a few twists in the works too. It also has action, romance, comedy and history providing something for everybody making it a must watch and a strong candidate for film of the year. Habeb Al_janaby
