Thugs de l'Hindostan

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.

Don't get me wrong, it's not a good film be any measure. But it's not nearly as bad as the reviews and press makes out to be. There are far Worse movies out there that deserve the 3/10 score much more than this one. Aamir Khans acting for one was very refreshing. It was a difficult role to play, and despite some really lousy direction and dialogue, he did a fantastic job. I thought the overall story wasn't bad, the period/pirate setting was good as well (could've done without the Jack Sparrow inspiration and slaps though). But it was the direction and execution that just was of very very low quality. On top of that they were way too ambitious with CGI and action sequences given their skills, and that backfired.

Overall a decent story line, fantastic acting by Aamir, but let down by terrible direction and dialogue. Aamir and the audience should probably stay away from this director as a general rule.

I really like the character of Frangi. Even though he is a trickster, as Azaad say, Frangi is actually on a quest so independence and freedom consist of breathing for him. Is that really so? Katrinan's role as a dancer was a good decision because even if she can dance very nicely but her acting performance is not enough yet. After performance of Fatima in DANGAL, I watched her for the second time with this film and I liked her again(also very similar to katrina). And Amitabh Bachchan, living legend of India has performed well in this film with Aamir. In short, I think the film was beautiful.

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.

Nice and good movie Amer Khan and Amitab always come with a new idea . This movie is very different from Indian music movies and always the first try must have some mistakes but still very good and nice movie.
