GABBAR IS BACK is an average entertainer which will draw huge footfalls over the weekend due to catchy massy title, action drama and the fact that it is releasing on a holiday.

Akshay Kumar's power punch to corruption in style!

The filmmaker Krish has tried to bring forth the point that how youth can do wonders if the energy is channelised on the right path.
