Dilwale

Was it too much to hope that SRK and Kajol would create magic once again?

If you are expecting any sort of decent story, this movie is not for you. All you get are a lot of action shots, explosions and over the top, comical violence.

Kajol's acting was good, SRK was OK. Cant really blame them since they don't have much to work with here.

This is more a Festive season money grab, than an honest attempt at making a good movie. Throw in a couple of Big stars supported by a cast of young actors and comedians,some funny dialogues and make a lot of money.Whether the movie has a plot or not doesn't seem to matter anymore.

After the RA-ONE fiasco, i honestly thought that SRK had made a genuine mistake and that he wouldn't do films like that again. But after this one, I don't intend to go for his movies anymore. I will download them, thank you.

I think that more than my monetary loss, i am just angry that they let such great talents like King Khan and Kajol go to waste.

It is hilarious to see the first 4 pages of reviews of Dilwale has a 10* rating which was rather surprising to me. So I go in to the profile of each of those people and there you have it most of the reviewers had joined IMDb in Dec and this is the only movie they have rated.

It is just sad when movie makers have to create fake profiles and rate the movie high so the public would fall for it and watch the movie. But this is such a sad strategy as we can not be fooled for long.

I wanted to check the reviews first before watching the movie but thankfully the real reviews from real people have told me exactly what i needed to know!

Don't waste money on this movie, it's the worse movie of SRK after Guddu, it's a disaster. Looks like Rohit Shetty take it granted that SRK-Kajol pair will do everything, and instead of looking in direction he was sleeping in Vanity van.

Varun Dhawan looked good.

Kirti is also good.

Kajol is relief in the movie. Without her you can not tolerate the movie.

Music is Superb. Gerua song is the best.

Action are looking repeated.

My advice is not to watch the movie.

The movie is exactly what I thought it would be. Overrated because of fans of the SRK-Kajol Jodi. I don't understand why the audience of Bollywood never appreciates good stories and great direction. Instead, they go for movies that contain the same old overrated Bollywood actors and actresses. A romantic song with a dance across the beautiful landscapes around the world does not make for a beautiful movie.

Don't even get me started on the overacting. I expected at least some decent acting from the two experienced actors in this movie about whom the fans were going crazy for the past few weeks. But no. Acting? What is that? Let's just dance around the world and add some stunts and we'll earn 100+ crores.

I'm eagerly waiting for the day when SRK will go back to making movies like Swades and Chak De India.

Some of the Bollywood potboilers are meant to entertain with mindless screenplay and no-sense comedy. Rohit Shetty has mastered the art of this kind of cinema. Only this time , he goes one step ahead and gives you a senseless caper.

Dilwale tells the story of two families meet again again after 15 years when their dark past comes in front of them

From the masala entertainments like Golmaal , Singham series, Bol Bachan and Chennai express, Rohit Shetty gives yet another spineless film which is full on masala entertainment but easily forgettable once you are out of theater. The only silver lining is the superb acting by Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol. The movie begins with forced comic scenes and unnecessary situations especially from Varun Dhawan and Johnny Lever which you are sure going to hate. It is only when Kajol enters the scene, you will heave a sigh of relief. The sparkling chemistry between Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol saves the day and you wish the second half might be interesting as their jodi.

Unfortunately, the second half drags and the climax becomes typical bollywood melodrama with hero delivering high-content dialogues and blowing few punches. Editing could have been better and songs becomes hindrance to the pace. Art direction and cinematography is outstanding. Shah Rukh Khan is the scene stealer despite so many shortcomings in the movie. The actor is brilliant but is saddened by weak screenplay. Kajol lends a good support and looks gorgeous. Varun Dhawan antics will remind you Salman Khan. Probably he should define his unique style. Kirti Sanon is strictly okay. Johnny Lever irritates. Sanjay Mishra disappoints. Mukesh Rishi is good. Boman Irani is brilliant.

Overall , Dilwale is predictable and boring with nothing new to offer.
