When you step into Dabangg 3, you know you’re in for a Salman Khan extravaganza.  Which would be fine if there was some attempt to tweak the formula or push it into a new direction.  But sadly, the makers seem content to deliver another dose of the same.  But it’s been 9 years.  Even the mighty Chulbul needs an upgrade.

Salman Khan, Sonakshi Sinha and Saiee Manjrekar bring another instalment to the already over-crowded franchise. There’s frantic action scenes to give you headaches and nasty jokes to make you nauseous. Keep drugs handy.

‘Dabangg 3’ is Hindi action cinema at its daftest…

Almost ten years down the line, the Chulbul Pandey franchise is feeling weak and worn out.

Bite this bullet only if you are fanatical about Khan and he can do no wrong in your eyes. For those who don’t wear those starry blinkers, sit this one out.

Dabangg 3 isn’t funny or even campy enough to be anything more than an aging hero’s throw of dice, hoping that third time will be as lucky as the first two.
