Overall Review :
Royal revenge, plotting, conspiracy, greed, lust - if these are the words that fascinated you about the just-released movie 'Saheb Biwi Aur Gangster 3', you'll be sorely disappointed.

As the movie promised to deliver a story of revenge, the royal saga of deceit, conspiracy, greed, and lust; there was all but then nothing. From the very beginning, you would not be able to see any plus scenes rather the characters looked tired and under-developed. Since the movie is the third installment in the series no doubt the expectations were high; The first two editions of this film were very interesting and set some great benchmarks for the thriller -action-drama genre. But the third installment has clearly fallen short of expectations. 

Actor-Director duo of Sanjay Dutt and Tighmanshu seemed incompatible. Some scenes just happen with no logic or reason.

Tighmanshu 's 'Saheb Biwi Aur Gangster 3' delivers nothing new movie being revolving around the central character saheb's biwi, Madhavi Devi, played by Mahie Gill and Saheb aka Aditya Pratap Singh played by Jimmy Sheirgill plotting and planning to deprive and eliminate each other in their quest for power and supremacy.

Then there is Yuvraj Uday Singh, another branch of this royal family; a mighty stylish gangster and a roulette expert who has earned his fortunes by winning the deadly games of Russian roulette taking shade in London. He is madly in love with his mistress Mona (Chitrangda Singh) which makes him leave his family.

This is when we are introduced to Saheb of the movie (Jimmy Shergill) being incubated in the jail. Thus hinting that this movie is a sequel, as said, to its predecessor which to be honest looks awfully stretched and unnecessary. the movie could have been a fresh start. Coming back to the plot, on the other hand, Saheb's first wife is seen as a politician having her own reach and reputation that she uses mightly to halt his husband's stay at jail more. But things get fairly interesting when Saheb is set free and returns back to his humungous haveli; two sharing the same roof - one a sly cat and other an injured tiger as said 'Gill and Sher-Gill' in the trailers.

Director seems confused here when he deports Sanjay Dutt back to India as an escape plan for he killed an important Whitman. Is he being shown as a powerful man who can escape laws too?

Though Dutt has done this kind of roles earlier, he looks tired here. He is apt for the role but the director and actor duo seems incompatible; Dhulia failed to use him as a perfect tool. Dutt sometimes looks lost in stylish-dashing gangster role.

Soha Ali Khan as Saheb’s biwi no.2 Ranjana is wasted, literally and figuratively. Rest of the supporting cast - Kabir Bedi, Nafisa Ali and Deepak Tijori are adequately cast as the royal family of Boondigarh, where many characters do nothing but stretching and making the first half of the movie a lazy. Second half being a victim of a weak script. Dhulia seems to have been in dilemma as to where an actor would look perfect thus taking too much of screen time to develop each character. Lots of scenes were unnecessary and forcefully linking this movie to its predecessor was a negative point.  

The movie could have been much better and interesting had some plus point been added and forcefully linking of characters from its predecessor been avoided other than not stretching the movie by item numbers and unnecessary scenes.

Final Spill Verdict :
Overall, 'Saheb Biwi Aur Gangster 3' fails to carry the legacy of deceit, conspiracy, greed, and lust forward. It tries very hard to keep you engrossed at times but the film mostly drags which adds to the boredom and tedious viewing.

The final question ' Is it the royal saga of conspiracy and deceit that will hold you at seats?'

• Yes if you are a die-hard fan of  'Saheb Biwi Aur Gangster 3'. For common public like us, it will be just another movie in the action-thriller genre.
• Somewhat no because the first two editions of this film were very interesting and they set some great benchmarks for the thriller -action-drama genre. But the third installment has clearly fallen short of expectations

Should I watch? 

Go watch the movie for Gill and Gill(Jimmy Shergill and Mahie Gill). They deserve it. Definitely a one-time watch movie with no expectation.

It receives two and a half spill batches from us:
