Despite its many indulgences 'Saheb Biwi Aur Gangster Returns' is ultimately an engaging watch. Jimmy admirably slips into the skin of the scheming, frustrated saheb again, yet it's Irrfan who keeps you glued. He strikes just the right note as the desperate royal Inder. Mahie, meanwhile, lays it thick as Madhavi, over-slurring her words and playing the part disappointingly one-note.

With 'Saheb Biwi Aur Gangster Returns', director Tigmanshu Dhulia delivers another earthy cocktail of power games, bedroom politics, and palace intrigue. Only the stakes are higher in this sequel; the love is tainted from the start, and there's even vengeance thrown in for good measure. Indeed the film is gripping for the most part, if you're willing to overlook some convoluted stretches.

The saheb and biwi from the 2011 film are back: Aditya Singh (Jimmy Shergill) is wheelchair-bound after being left paralysed in the earlier film's bloody climax, while his alcoholic, unhinged wife Madhavi (Mahie Gill) is the elected MLA. Yet the equation between husband and wife is constantly shifting. Aditya is recovering from the accident, determined to get back on his feet. He wrests control from Madhavi, who can't seem to lift herself from a drunken stupor on most days. A manipulative Aditya is trying to round up the other royals in the state to their advantage and grab political power, and part of his plan is to marry the soft-natured princess Ranjana (Soha Ali Khan).

This forces the hand of another player, Inder (Irrfan Khan), who is Ranjana's paramour. Part of a royal family that's fallen on bad times, Inder is a small-time gangster. When Aditya forces Ranjana to get engaged to him, Inder takes him on, seducing Madhavi and controlling her like a puppet with sexual power-play to defeat Saheb. Yet, Inder has a hidden agenda and a past that fuels his own ambitions.
