Prem Ratan Dhan Payo

As has been mentioned this is a take on the Prince and the Pauper story that may not appeal to those who are into art films and like to sit around discussing and dissecting a film's philosophical nuances.

If, on the other hand, you simply like a fun story, gorgeous sets, and yes, the occasional over-the-top scene, this can be a thoroughly enjoyable tale of a man who is willing to put the woman he loves ahead of himself.

I speak neither Hindi nor Punjabi, so I can only go by what I read into the English subtitles, and the first ones I had were out of sync by 20 to 60 seconds which was a bit confusing to say the least, but after obtaining a proper sub file I enjoyed the show.

It is tough for me to even give 2/10 to this movie. The entire movie had roughly 45 minutes of content, but was 3 hours long. The movie progressed at a very slow pace, and the direction style was very similar to how serials are directed in India (yuck). Everything was overdramatized, and I'm surprised I didn't internally combust while watching this expensively made crap put on a screen. Apart from Bhajrangi Bhaijaan, all Salman Khan movies have been the same for the past 10 years, and most of them have been pretty bad. Props to Salman for doing something different than the stereotypical mindless action movies he does, but this was probably his worst movie in the past 10 years (yes even worse than his typical mindless action movies). Salman may get to a point where he can act and make good movies one day, but this will be one of the biggest stains on his record.

Hi everyone, I never intend to offend anyone but cannot help it after viewing this title and wasting 3 hours full of nothing but sonam and salman duo working out together. I never expected this from Sooraj Batacharya, a lame copy of The Prisoner of Zenda. Here no one is drunk but the drinking factor is replaced by an accident and the ending is with an vintage Indian twist. Anupam Kher is Col. Sapt and his associate is Fritz. Sonam Kapoor (Princess Flavia), Nitin Mukesh (Black Michael) and his associate Rupert of Hentzau. Really the movie could have become owe some but something is missing or missed out. 5.6 rating is too high, I rate the title 3 for copying the novel so poorly. REGARDS

Some reviews don't give this film the credit it deserves, to appreciate the film you need to be able to relate to it, as everything in life, if you don't relate to it then you won't understand it. It's another film based on a character that will do whatever it takes to help out others without expecting anything in return, that in itself is something that is very rare nowadays and something every selfish person will find stupid. We live in a world where most people are have the mentality "what's in it for me" if you have that mentality you won't enjoy the film. If you appreciate your friends, family and even those you don't know but you can see they're unhappy and would like to see their problems go away and be happy, then this film is something that you would enjoy.

First of all to those who rated this movie very nicely I could not understand what you guys seen in this movie. There was no second thing in this film ( first being Salman Khan ),to watch. The movie has no story play or the plot to stick to the seats. I would recommend the future seekers of the movie to save their precious time. Salman with Sonam seems like Lion Cat couple, and Sonam Kapoor really didn't play well with this one. The story line was complete mixed up as the things has no logic. Even the director would be confused as what way he should give the climax of the film. A village boy started acting as a Royal Mate in matter of hours was really not a greet to watch. Sonam Kapoor wearing sunglasses all the time was much more irritating then anything. The only part movie played good is making you sleep for lovely 2 hours ( after 1 hour of watch ). Thanks
