    Worse movie of SRK after Guddu

    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.

    Just as I expected....same old clichéd film.

    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.

    I want my money back

    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.

    Dilwale is Rohit Shetty's worst movie. It's painfully fake and hopelessly contrived; an assembly-line piece of garbage that mistakes the audience for a fool.

    Here's the thing with Rohit Shetty movies: we know it's going to be the leave-your-brain-behind type. We know it's not going to make any sense. We know the internet trolls and the twitterati are going to bite into the movie even before it releases.

    And yet we watch it. For the simple reason that he makes us laugh.

    Somewhere in the middle of Chennai Express, the jokes had dried up, the quips and the crisp dialogue had thinned, and the monotony was there to be seen. Singham Returns exposed that even further.

    But this one takes the cake.

    Dilwale is Rohit Shetty's worst movie. It's painfully fake and hopelessly contrived; an assembly-line piece of garbage that mistakes the audience for a fool.

    So we have Shah Rukh Khan playing Kaali (go figure!), a retired son of a mafia boss, who lives with his younger brother Veer (Varun Dhawan) in Goa, the setting of many of Shetty's films. Veer's love interest is Ishita (a lovely Kriti Sanon). And Kaali has a brief, turbulent love-hate past with Meera (Kajol) in Bulgaria, which catches up with him later in his life.

    In the midst of all this there are mafia bosses, a local Goan don for the villain, a sidekick (Varun Sharma, aces it) and the usual Rohit Shetty comedians thrown in for good measure.

    This is a movie laced with stereotypes. Be it the step brothers with one of them being an orphan, or the painfully obvious plot twists, ones which can be seen from a mile away.

    In terms of performances, there's not much to do for Kriti Sanon except for looking really pretty. Varun Dhawan has done this kind of goofy man-child role in Main Tera Hero before; he's pretty much the same here.

    Kajol looks simply stunning, she's aged beautifully. Her acting credentials were never in doubt, but she's saddled with such a hopeless role and cringeworthy dialogue.

    Shah Rukh sleepwalks through this role, just like he's done in Happy New Year and Chennai Express. He's an absolute bore; his eyes grim and his face stoic.

    What is most disappointing is that the hullabaloo surrounding this movie was about the coup that Shetty managed to pull off with SRK and Kajol, unquestionably Bollywood's most chemically potent pair, and yet their chemistry is almost non-existent in Dilwale. Not being able to capitalize on SRK-Kajol's pair just goes to show what a shoddy mess the movie is. Yes, there are the occasional sparks, like the silent nod to the 'palat' scene from DDLJ, but those are few and far between.

    Almost all the lines fall flat, which is disappointing, especially coming from dialogue writers like Sajid-Farhad. The scenes look farcical, the acting extremely fake, and the jokes forced. Barely a couple of laughs are generated, mainly due to the ever-reliable Johnny Lever and another Priyadarshanesque montage leading to a hilariously confusing story.

    Shetty has always been 'inspired' by various films, as evidenced by the Golmaal series, Bol Bachchan and even Singham. With Dilwale, not only has he taken bits and pieces from trashy potboilers of the 80s, but this time he's gone further and taken a page out of a TV show.

    In the middle of the once-amazing CBS sitcom How I Met Your Mother, protagonist Ted Mosby meets a woman called Stella, and due to shortage of time, he takes her on a two-minute date, an extremely endearing montage, and one of the highlights of the show. Our man Shetty blatantly copies the concept, and it's neither impressive nor heartwarming.

    It's a shame to see Rohit Shetty start taking the audience for granted to such an extent. It's even more shameful that Shah Rukh Khan agreed to not only act in this mess, but also produce it. Dilwale is a mistake that will be difficult to erase.

    Somewhere in the middle of the movie, Varun Dhawan is proposing to Kriti Sanon. And in a bid to go all out, he plans to do the one thing that simply can't fail in Bollywood - SRK's arms-raised pose.

    He prays, 'Bhaiya, sambhaal lena'. Sure, he gets the girl. But not even his bhaiya can save this atrocity of a movie.

    • Goofs
      After the car flips over, SRK's character Raj/Kaali is suspended upside down in the driver's seat and his face is shown bleeding, yet these injuries defy basic gravity by bleeding up, rather than down. The blood should be shown descending down his face into his hairline, instead of ascending upward toward his neck and body.
