Welcome to another action-crime thriller with big dollops of <keyword id="143" type="CITY" weightage="100" keywordseo="Bollywood">Bollywood</keyword> masala that has earned a decent response at the <keyword id="25892" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="100" keywordseo="box-office">box office</keyword>. But if you are expecting a movie featuring <keyword id="6354925" type="COMPANY" weightage="100" keywordseo="Kolkata">Kolkata</keyword> in the troubled 70s or a big-time gangster flick that reveals a human core, it will be better to skip <keyword id="6427325" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="Gunday">Gunday</keyword>. Directed by <keyword id="6368814" type="PERSON" weightage="100" keywordseo="Ali-Abbas-Zafar">Ali Abbas Zafar</keyword>, this gun-goon-and-gal flick has loads of twists and turns, follows a long-winded <keyword id="1097560" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="storyline">storyline</keyword> and stars big names including <keyword id="106133" type="PERSON" weightage="100" keywordseo="Ranveer-Singh">Ranveer Singh</keyword>, <keyword id="114453" type="PERSON" weightage="100" keywordseo="Arjun-Kapoor">Arjun Kapoor</keyword>, <keyword id="1655" type="PERSON" weightage="100" keywordseo="Priyanka-Chopra">Priyanka Chopra</keyword> and <keyword id="16207" type="PERSON" weightage="100" keywordseo="Irrfan-Khan">Irrfan Khan</keyword>. But that’s where its claim to fame should end unless you are ready to ogle some brawn and oomph, a pseudo-historical account of the times and a glimpse of the City of Joy as the background. 
 
Gunday was released on the Valentine’s Day (February 14) and tries hard to explore the <keyword id="1541122" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="bromance">bromance</keyword> between the male leads – the <keyword id="1739443" type="PERSON" weightage="100" keywordseo="outlaw">outlaw</keyword> duo of <keyword id="19013" type="PERSON" weightage="100" keywordseo="bikram">Bikram</keyword> (Ranveer) and <keyword id="17684" type="ENTERTAINMENT" weightage="100" keywordseo="Bala">Bala</keyword> (Arjun). While that is commendable to some extent, the contrived love triangle involving Priyanka (<keyword id="70837" type="PERSON" weightage="100" keywordseo="Nandita">Nandita</keyword>) looks scarcely convincing and her main utility seems to be getting the eyeballs. 
 
Yet, the movie has done fairly well at the box office, netting around Rs 43.93 crore at home after the first weekend. Gunday has, however, failed to race past another action thriller, Salman-starrer <a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/Jai-Ho-Salman-FightsThrough-Clichs-Fails-To-Create-A-Dhoom/articleshow/29505187.cms">Jai Ho</a>, which earned around Rs 60 crore in the debut weekend. Overseas collections of Gunday stood at $2.16 million gross. But there was a drop in collection on the crucial Day 4 (February 17) and the movie netted around Rs 6.5 crore as per industry estimates. Still, we are seeing some steady traction and Gunday may soon enter the coveted Rs <keyword id="6567206" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="100-crore-club">100 crore club</keyword>. The flick, made on an approximate budget of Rs 50 crore including promotions, has reportedly hit over 2,000 screens across India. 
 
Coming back to the story, let’s have a close look at what makes Gunday kind of unpalatable. Interestingly, <keyword id="2217" type="ENTERTAINMENT" weightage="80" keywordseo="Big-B">Big B</keyword>, who had watched the film at its Mumbai premiere, told the media that it’s “an adrenaline-packed movie.” That’s true and Gunday tries to capture the saga of angry young men who get on the wrong side of the law on their way to a glamorised life of crime. Does it remind you of Deewaar? The broad <keyword id="50138" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="Theme">theme</keyword> of Gunday is not unlike that old classic but then, everything else has gone awry – be it storyline, acting, periodicity or dialogues. 
 For one, the entire journey of Bikram and Bala looks patchy. The movie fails to give us a realistic version of the metamorphosis they have undergone – from orphan kids (migrants from <keyword id="6354759" type="COUNTRY" weightage="80" keywordseo="Bangladesh">Bangladesh</keyword>) to big-time coal mafias who are always on the run from the law. But in doing so, Ranveer-Arjun display loads of bromance; get involved in <keyword id="2065117" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="Shirtless-fights">shirtless fights</keyword> à la <keyword id="6354583" type="PERSON" weightage="80" keywordseo="Salman-Khan">Salman Khan</keyword>, and show off their biceps &amp; waxed 6-packs (imagine that in the 70s) quite unabashed. Are they the new <keyword id="2065120" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="Male-eye-candy">male eye candy</keyword>, we wonder? But more than that, they are the brainless brawn type who can be easily trapped by the cops. 
 The duo duly falls in love with the <keyword id="2065114" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="gorgeous-cabaret-dancer">gorgeous cabaret dancer</keyword> Nandita (Priyanka Chopra) who obviously can’t be what she seems. So she turns out to be an <keyword id="2065123" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="100" keywordseo="Undercover-police">undercover police</keyword> officer, in league with <keyword id="2065121" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="ACP-Satyajeet-Sarkar">ACP Satyajeet Sarkar</keyword> (Irrfan Khan). A look at Nandita’s get-up makes us wonder whether Kolkata had ever seen such flamboyant fashion trends during that period. Still, Priyanka is playing the role of a seductress and <keyword id="77110" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="Undercover-agent">undercover agent</keyword>. So she must look lethal, even when she is clad in the traditional saree. In contrast, Irrfan does a commendable job and does the voiceover, too. 
 What you may love about this movie is the easy-flowing chemistry between Ranveer and Arjun, some good punch lines and Irrfan’s great acting. But the flick falls flat by the end as clichés abound and not even the suspense ending can save it. Protagonists/anti-heroes of this sort can attain a different height if the storyline and the characters are handled with subtlety and sensitiveness. But <keyword id="303" type="POSITION" weightage="80" keywordseo="Director">director</keyword> Ali Abbas Zafar gives as something as crass and over-the-top as his earlier movie, <keyword id="440305" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="80" keywordseo="Mere-brother-ki-Dulhan">Mere Brother Ki Dulhan</keyword>. And the outcome? As Mohar Basu of Koimoi says, it’s a “sexy show gone dull.” All because talented actors are made to struggle to find their rhythm in a cliché-laden <keyword id="6371619" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="plot">plot</keyword>.

Box Office: Gunday Leaves
You Clueless But Cash Register is Ringing

We all know the level of friendship that <keyword id="106133" type="PERSON" weightage="100" keywordseo="Ranveer-Singh">Ranveer Singh</keyword> and <keyword id="114453" type="PERSON" weightage="100" keywordseo="Arjun-Kapoor">Arjun Kapoor</keyword> share. True, they must have known each other since childhood, given that Singh is the maternal cousin of Kapoor’s paternal cousin Sonam, but it was only after starring together in <a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/Box-Office-Gunday-LeavesYou-Clueless-But-Cash-Register-is-Ringing/articleshow/30626422.cms">Gunday</a> which made the whole world take notice of their chemistry. 
 
If a big-budget movie wasn’t enough, both Singh and Kapoor came together for <a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/Did-Ranveer-Singh-and-Arjun-Kapoor-apologize-for-AIB-Roast-at-IIFA/articleshow/47597999.cms">AIB roast</a>, the much controversial show that brought them in news for all the wrong reasons. Hosting <a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/What-to-expect-from-Bollywoods-hot-n-happening-Babas-at-IIFA-this-year/articleshow/47501940.cms">IIFA</a> was the next big thing in their plate, and we once again got to see the stirring chemistry they showed off. 
 
However, it’s been quite some time that we haven’t seen the Baba couple together, and the reason is Arjun Kapoor’s disappearance from the country. He is in Argentina, busy hosting the next season of Khatron Ke Khiladi and Insta-blogging his adventures. 
 
Ranveer Singh, on the other hand, is missing his partner in crime so much that he decided to Dubsmash his feelings, and giving him company was another actor of their times, <a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/Guess-who-got-a-letter-and-bouquet-from-Amitabh-Bachchan-once-again/articleshow/47453640.cms">Ayushmann Khurrana</a>.

Ranveer misses Arjun Baba so much he ‘Dubsmash’ed to prove it

Bromance has been redefined by two young and talented actors of the Hindi Film Industry. We are talking of <keyword id="106133" type="PERSON" weightage="100" keywordseo="Ranveer-Singh">Ranveer singh</keyword> and <keyword id="114453" type="PERSON" weightage="100" keywordseo="Arjun-Kapoor">Arjun Kapoor</keyword>, who we believe shared a bond of friendship even before they entered <keyword id="143" type="CITY" weightage="100" keywordseo="Bollywood">Bollywood</keyword> as both of them are related to each other; but ever since they have appeared as Bikram and Bala in 2014’s Gunday, they have rekindled their bromance and how. 
 
First appearing in Gunday together, they got girls drooling over their oily bodies and flaunted their well-toned physiques. Even though both of them go mum when they are asked about the reason behind doing this movie, their friendship certainly evolved to the next level after the movie. 
 
Next, the world saw them together appearing at the chat show Koffee With Karan; both of them introduced the world to the term they had coined for each other, the much-endearing ‘Baba’. Answering questions hinting at a possible hook-up between the two with quite a comfort, the actors showed to the world that you can be good friends despite being each other’s arch competitors. 
 
Well, the good-looking jodi (we bet we can call them that because of their public displays of affection) rocked the nation once again when they came fully prepared to be roasted at AIB Roast. As we say rock, we mean it in all its glory because the show not only irked some segments of the society but also got banned and invoked legal trouble for the organizers and participants. 
 
Well, the show certainly got banned but not without telling the world so much about the bond that these upcoming superstars share with each other. 
 
Even though they are not coming together in any movie in the near future, they keep on posting about each other’s movies every now and then, and even share pictures from the past, without feeling shy about the way they looked back then. 
 
Such love, we tell you! 
 
Next in line is their stint as hosts for IIFA, in which they are possibly going to take their inglorious humor ahead and humiliate everyone, including each other. What we expect from this award show is not something that people usually do at award shows, which is being humble and appreciative. 
 
We can only expect a show which would remind us of the good old days of Shah Rukh Khan-Saif Ali Khan, Riteish Deshmukh-Boman Irani and even the not-so-old Ranbir Kapoor-Imran Khan. 
 
All these jodis made the award functions worth watching for, and left the audience in splits because of the chemistry they shared, something which the Babas have in abundance. 
 
IIFA takes place in Kuala Lumpur on June 5, coincidentally the day on which Ranveer’s much-awaited movie <a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/Did-you-catch-behind-the-scenes-actions-of-Dil-Dhadakne-Do/articleshow/47340864.cms">Dil Dhadakne Do</a> releases.
