The design is meticulous and everything looks as if it belongs to the period, but we are left waiting for something, anything new. Why do a '70s style film with actors whose body language belongs to the here and now?

This film would be dead on arrival without the energy of the male leads - even when they are hamming, and they ham often, they are doing it with glorious style. Of the three stars for Gunday, one is for Ranveer and Arjun.

As a '70s throwback it's definitely not alone in recent years. And yet "Gunday" is a thunderously entertaining movie, which is down to its cast and director.

Disappointingly, Ranveer [Singh] and Arjun [Kapoor]'s chemistry in Gunday is not a patch on the sparks flying between them in their recent joint TV interviews.
