SCRIPT ANALYSIS
Neeraj Paandey has penned the script for the film.He has
written a very interesting plot of cat and mouse game.It is a battle of an
intelligent cop and super smart thief.The entire story turns around Ajay Singh
(Akshay Kumar),P.K. Sharma aka Sharma ji (Anupam Kher) and their two con
friends.They raid the house of politicians and businessmen with the help of
local police.But not even a single politician or businessmen reported to media
about these raids,because black money is involved in every case.But one cop
Ranveer Singh (Jimmy Sheirgill),has taken this insult to heart.After getting
fired from the job,he takes the help of real CBI officer (Wasim
Khan)now,begins the game of cat and mouse between fake and real CBI.Neeraj
Paandey`s story is quite interesting,but there are some weak-points in the
screenplay.The weakest part of the story is the romantic plot between Ajay
(Akshay Kumar) and Priya (Kajal).The romantic angle of the film is written very badly.The characters are not well developed,but are very
entertaining.Dialogues are very funny and suits to every scene.You can take
some tips from Wasim Khan,how to get promotion.
STAR PERFORMANCES
Special 26 is Akshay Kumar`s best film and Ajay Singh is
his best character till date.He played the head of a con team,with great
efforts.His dialogue delivery is outstanding in few scenes,especially when he
says,'Life mein na kabhi kisi se darna mat'.Anupam Kher is brilliant as P.K.
Sharma.He delievered some four letter words in very humourous way.Manoj Baapayi
is outstanding as Wasim Khan.His performance is top on the chart.Jimmy
Sheirgill is good as an innocent Ranveer Singh.His dashing personality and
brilliant dialogue delivery gives an extra power to his character.Divya Dutta
is completely wasted in the role of Lady Constable 'Shantiji'.She hardly get
three or four lines.Kajal Agarwal didn`t get much space in this multi
starrer.But she looks cute as an emotional Priya.Neeru Bajwa`s dance number has
given a little bit masala feel to the film and she danced well in Punjabi
number.
MUSIC
Music Composers M.M.Kareem and Himesh Reshammiya made no
efforts with the songs. Their tunes didn`t work in film. Sudhir Chaudhry`s
background score Is up to the mark.
DIRECTION AND OTHER
TECHNICAL ASPECTS
Neeraj Paandey does well with the chor and police
story. But he failed to handle romantic plot of the film,which could be
better.Late.Bobby Singh`s cinematography is good.Narayan Singh`s editing is
very sharp.The art direction work is outstanding.Art Director has given his
100% to give feel of 80`s Mumbai,Kolkata and Chandigarh.
LAST WORD
If you wants to watch a con-movie with a new concept,then
go and enjoy your weekend with Special 26.
BOX OFFICE PREDICTION
Viacom 18 and Wide Screen has spent more than 40 crores
on the production and publicity of the film.Film has less mass appeal and tough
competition with india`s first 3d dance film,ABCD. So,opening weekend of the
film will not be huge.It can earn just 20-25 crore rupees over the weekend and
life time business of the film will be 70-80 crore.
