Epic Disappointment!
Now that was a good assessment of patience for me-A lazily made revenge drama with a half-baked plot devoid of any thrills.I wonder what was going through the minds of Aashiq while cashing upon such a no-substance movie with megastar given minimal screen presence compared to the antagonist played by Shekhar Menon.With only countable number of dialogues & not even a punch dialogue to cherish,Akbar Ali Khan is undoubtedly one among the most skimpy characters portrayed by Mammookka who is totally wasted in the 136 minutes of the lack-lustre drama.Primarily,Gangster lacks a proper screenplay to boost up the hero Akbar who was given a good build up in the start with an interesting animation prologue.The introduction scene of Akbar went plain & the climax was really disappointing["well-received" by the audience with howling].The frames by Alby were good & the Backgroundscore was passable.The use of slow motion,animation & dark theme all are good,but without an engaging narration all these look clumsy on screen.The slow pace of the movie can easily distract anyone from an effortless cinematic expereience & its clear that many long pauses without dialogues are forced to bring in a hollywood style of narration,but painfully it doesn't work at all!!When you are trying to imitate something you must for god's sake be careful not to loose steam by half way my bro!Heard some big suspense cameo was waiting,but there wasn't anything of sorts in the movie where even Megastar's role looks like an extended cameo[A big sigh!].Overall,Gangster is a total miss which is sure to fall flat at the boxoffice this season.

Performances::
___________
*Mammookka looks uber-cool but was totally wasted with nothing to perform.
*Shekhar Menon was OK,but went over the top in between.
*Nyla Usha,Kunchan,Hareesh Perady,T.G.Ravi etc were good in their respective roles.


Some +Ves ::
_________
*Stylish looks of Mammookka.
*Cinematography.
*Fcuk You Scene.

Some -Ves::
___________
*Lack of proper screenplay.
*Charecterisation of Akbar.
*Disastrous Pace.
*Shoddy Making.

Verdict::With Gangster Aashiq Abu proves how over-rated a director he is!!The painfully slow & lack-luster gangster flick fails to make any mark & is avoidable.Never expected that "GangsteRise" will turn into "GangsteRip"
Ma Rating::4.5/10
