Thugs of Hindostan

Don't get me wrong, it's not a good film be any measure. But it's not nearly as bad as the reviews and press makes out to be. There are far Worse movies out there that deserve the 3/10 score much more than this one. Aamir Khans acting for one was very refreshing. It was a difficult role to play, and despite some really lousy direction and dialogue, he did a fantastic job. I thought the overall story wasn't bad, the period/pirate setting was good as well (could've done without the Jack Sparrow inspiration and slaps though). But it was the direction and execution that just was of very very low quality. On top of that they were way too ambitious with CGI and action sequences given their skills, and that backfired.

Overall a decent story line, fantastic acting by Aamir, but let down by terrible direction and dialogue. Aamir and the audience should probably stay away from this director as a general rule.

Just got through watching it, been waiting avidly for a copy of it, and well worth the wait I thought. Yes it is a bit POTC-ish, but it was still swashbuckling fun in its own way. They seemed to end it as though they may make a sequel, I hope they do, because I really enjoyed this.

Indian audience have never been kind to an ambitious period drama ever since Mughal e Azam. TOH could have been way better but considering it was made to lure the masses, it did not lack the content as advertised by many negative views. This project had great detail to production design and background score was gripping. Fatima could have done better and dialogues could have been more impactful. Even with these shortfalls the movie is worth a decent watch and should not have been penned so horribly.

If u want to see an amazing Amir khan again just see the movie. Everything else is just r u bb i s h. And amir seems so powerful and energetic in his 50s same as he was in his 30s. Hats of to u man.

The movie was highly entertaining to me despite all the bad reviews I had read before watching it.

Sure enough it is not Vishal Bardwaj's Maqbool or Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Black and I didn't watch it with that expectation. It is an entertaining family movie with a nice plot and a lot of action. Aamir was on point as always and I loved his character. Mr. Bachchan is a legend and he's in that stage of his career by my opinion , in which it is enough for him just to be in the movie. Fatima was a delight to watch. Someone I really liked is the girl playing young Zafira (Deshna Dugad). She's done pretty well for the small role she had and for her young age.

So , in conclusion, if you are in a mood for an entertaining action , the movie will leave you with a good feeling. Give it a try.
