The film posits that the fear once instilled by the dacoit Gabbar is necessary to cleanse society. The protagonist argues that the contemporary "real" villains are not bandits in the wilderness, but corrupt officials and builders within the city. By hijacking the name, he subverts the traditional moral binary of Indian cinema. He suggests that to fight a monstrous system, one must become a monster that the system fears. This rebranding serves as a marketing tool within the film's diegesis, capturing public imagination and striking terror into the hearts of the corrupt.
