Now tell me something, what makes this movie unique?.
It doesn't have a story line for starters. For some reason Salman Khan has got a formula for his no script movies to work, take for example "Maine pyaar kyu kiya","Partner", "Wanted" and add "Dabaang" to that list. Movies without script can fail big time, you can ask the director actor combo of Priyadarshan and Akshay Kumar who seem to think by running around the city and over acting are a key to success. So why did Dabaang work?
The Salman star power, I might say this might be one of the reasons. Salman has been doing it for years so may be yes, his star power carried the movie through.
The action, definitely yes. Though there are barely three full blown action sequences they are well shot, so they did make for a good viewing.
The length of the movie was a great factor. The movie was a quick one, no over dose of the show Salman was carrying on his broad shoulders.
Aggressive publicity program. People were waiting for the date of release. Salman was on every show on Indian television to promote the movie. I guess the hard work paid off.
May be it was the Zandu Balm effect. I heard that Malaika Arora- Khan is also the brand ambassador of Zandu Balm now. Wow
Or maybe the most intelligent shirt of Bollywood. It tore of at the right moment, without anyone touching it. The shirt was the difference eventually between apna Chulbul Pandey and Chedi Singh. Poor Chedi Singh spent all his energy and rage in tearing his shirt while apna Chlbul was focussed thanks to the intelligent shirt.
If you ask me what made me watch the film was the trailer. The first look of it, it looked stylish. The Dabaang tune had a little bit of the country feel to it, the trailer promised a lot of action and just to balance all of it Salman adds "Hum tumme itne ched karenge ki con-phuse ho jaoge ki saas kaha se le aur ...."
To be honest I enjoyed the movie and this one is definitely one to watch when one is stressed out
May be the intellectual kinds would find themselves not too challenged after watching this movie, I can give them something to ponder over. Try answering this
"What is it about this movie that made it work?"
