Taran Mann has written and directed the film. So much so, if you happen to get up during the film and return, everyone would still be fighting and drinking. You don’t feel anything for Rupinder, because you don’t ever see him reasoning, asking questions, talking or even indulging in some thoughtful soliloquy, he is fighting and fighting.
The story doesn’t establish any reason behind the incidents in the film. The protagonist and his friends fight and come back and drink.
The entire film has two prominent things- fights in village, gang war in university, fight and more fight followed by a yaara dostan da daru session. On the contrary, going by the way the character has been presented Rupinder comes across as a self appointed Robin Hood. But, this one thing is not established throughout the film Rupinder Gandhi the Gangster? Barring one small incident as a kid when Rupinder is beaten by a cop for no rhyme or reason, the director or writer nowhere tell the audience why Rupinder Gandhi is always fighting. The film is based on the real life character, Rupinder Gandhi who turned a rebel due to some circumstances. So when you see the protagonist of the film Rupinder Gandhi The Gangster.? fighting, fighting and fighting at the slightest provocation you wonder, kyun bhai! This is what hangs throughout the recently released Punjabi film directed by Taran Mann, starring Dev Kharoud in the lead role. Not that anyone has quoted it categorically this is something we all know in bits and parts. What is life without a motive, and what is fight without a cause.
