I know many viewers may not agree with my 9-star rating for this movie, but I've probably added a couple of stars just to encourage the kind of cinema we've been missing for years. Honestly, I've lost interest in most Bollywood films-maybe it's a mid-life thing (I'm 39 now)-but every once in a while, I take my family out for a movie, maybe once every three months. For me, the only motivation is a good family film: something with laughs, clean content, and a storyline we can all enjoy together.

This film ticked all those boxes. No vulgarity, no awkward scenes that would make my old-school parents (in their mid-60s) uncomfortable, and nothing inappropriate for my 7-year-old daughter. It felt like the kind of quality family time that's hard to come by in today's cinema.

Yes, Bhul Chuk Maaf isn't perfect. It could definitely have been better, especially in the second half where it leans more into social messaging rather than sticking to its light-hearted tone. But most of the storyline has its moments, and there are a couple of genuinely beautiful songs too.

In today's time, I've learned to keep my expectations low-otherwise, you'll find flaws in everything. All said and done, this was a good one-time family entertainer. I'd say, go for it.

Honestly couldn't figure out the objective of this film. Was it trying to deliver a social message? Was it supposed to promote organ donation? Or was it simply a disjointed attempt to cash in on Salman Khan's stardom without offering any meaningful content?

The movie is painfully boring, riddled with clichés and flat, uninspired dialogues. Within the first 15-20 minutes, I found myself fast-forwarding, hoping something interesting might eventually unfold. Spoiler: it didn't. I watched it on Netflix-and honestly, I feel sorry for those who wasted time and money watching this disaster in a theatre.

The acting is lackluster, the songs are forgettable, and the story goes nowhere. There's no emotional depth, no coherent narrative, and certainly no payoff. In short, Sikandar is a textbook example of how not to make a film.

The first episode is good, but after that, it becomes dull and monotonous. This series is a clear example of how a great concept can suffer from poor execution. What starts with promise quickly turns into a pedestrian watch.

After the first two episodes, the storyline drags, making it easy to lose interest. Acting-wise, everyone is just okay-nothing extraordinary. It's the kind of series you can keep on in the background while multitasking without missing much.

If you're short on time, just watch the first and last episode-you won't feel like you missed anything. Largely looks like a story written by novice writer without any understanding of how to build a character and motive.
