Thugs of Hindostan

I usually never miss an Aamir Khan movie but this time I did due to health issues and time constraints. But I did manage to watch this movie on DVD and I regret not watching it on big screen. Pay no heed to negative reviews as plenty of them are baseless and they have not watched the movie at all.

No, its not like Pirates at all. It may look like coz of the look and feel of the set. But thats the only similarity. I had mixed feelings bcoz of so many negative reviews when I started to watch the movie and just 5 minutes into the movie, I was in complete awe of it. Without giving much on the lines of story and screenplay, I would like to end here by giving this masterpiece an 8 out of 10 for such a visual treat.

Aamir Khan's acting is all that's worth watching this film. This film could have been ended just in 1 and half hour, but the directors extended the film I think just for audience. CGI was a bit low over all, Amitabh was not suitable for the role he played. Katrina Should learn how to deliver dialogue. Fatima can become a good acting sensation just not yet. Her role in Dangal and then watching her like this is not helping just yet.

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.

The movie has attracted extreme reviews because of emotions and expectations. The movie delivers mildly on action, drama and suspense with plot twists you won't see coming. If you compare this movie with pirates of Caribbean series, you will be dissappointed. Enjoy it like any other average Bollywood movie.

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.
