Lets start off with what you liked about the movie? Firstly the SRK-Kajol combo! Their return and to see that they still retain their magic which they had during DDLJ times, it was amaaazing! Secondly the acting of everyone.. Then I also appreciated KJo trying something different which is not our hero having an extra marital affair.. whether he succeeded or not is something else entirely.. Rizwan's character IMO was just adorable.. You couldn't help but love him.. Sam-Rizwan's relationship was shown pretty nicely as well.. The whole Mama Jenny-Rizwan part was very cute.. I liked the whole movie barring some points discussed below..

What didn't you like? I didn't like the 2nd half much. The OTT side of KJo. Honestly Rizwan reaching to help out Mama Jenny and the people of Wilhelmina before the US aid and all was a bit far fetched.. And the whole media involvement.. It was all wayyy OTT.. but that's KJo we're talking about, if he's not OTT, then I'd be surprised.. 😆 Secondly, I had a HUGE problem with the "We shall overcome" song sequence in the church. It was such a sweeeeeet scene when Rizwan talks about Sam.. I was crying through that.. Brilliant acting by SRK.. but when that song came up, I went "WTF!" 😆 Lack of SRK-Kajol scenes was a minus point IMO as well..

Did you like the songs? I loved the songs! They are not that good just for an audio I think.. still decent.. but Sajda, Tere Naina had some damn cute SRK-Kajol moments.. Did I mention I loved SRK-Kajol interactions.. 😆 I mean their whole before marriage scenes as well.. and the scene where she asks him to take Sam to museum.. 😆 Okay back to songs.. Noor-e-Khuda was the BEST song! I loved it! Just listening to it is so good and then the video of this song was just supppper ammazing as well.. Best song of the movie IMO!

Acting? Everyone was brilliant in the movie! SRK was just suuuupppper good! I might be biased but I think Rizwan was his finest role.. The mannerism was very well enacted.. LOVED him, his innocence was very well shown when he asks Mandira when should he return and when he runs looking for her after he's released.. Brilliant! Kajol was very good as well.. The fight between them, and when she cries hugging Sam's body.. Superb acting. Sonia Jehan, Jimmy Shergill, Sam (don't know his name) and every other actor did a great job!

I think it was a fine attempt by KJo, with a good message.. he should just cut back from OTT stuff like the Wilhelmina/hurricane Katrina part..


Edit: I forgot to mention, my most favourite bit, when Mandira proposes Rizwan and he sharmao-fies.. 😆 Megggga cute! Avi credit: nureat01
