Just came back from watching the movie and theater was packed. This is probably one of Salman's best movies in terms of story and acting. He really excelled in this movie and you can't say he was just his action hero self. The little girl was so cute and she acted really well despite being mute. Her and Salman were the true stars of the movie. Kareena was in the movie was a longer period than I thought she would be and she gave her role full justice. Nawazuddin was his best as well and his comic timing was sooo good. Salman, Nawazuddin and the little girl made such an amazing trio that I was rooting for them all the way. Supporting cast gave their best as well. There are no complaints I have in terms of acting. Kabir Khan brought out the best in them.
As for the plot, the movie's plot is quite unique and simple as in trying to get an innocent girl back to her home in Pakistan. The first half was top notch aside from that chicken song. I can understand why it's there but still. As a person who does not live in India, it was somewhat eye opening to see how the Lahore-Delhi train worked. I have no complaints for the first half. As for the second half, it somewhat dragged in some parts and the ending stretched itself a little bit, The only complaint I have is that the ending could have been squeezed in a little bit.
I definitely recommend for people to watch this movie at least once. Trust me, you will not regret it. There are comic moments and serious moments in both halves. I really loved Munni and Pawan aka Bajrangi and I am so sad that I will not see more of their interactions. The message is also quite good and I hope to see more movies like this. I will definitely watch this movie again.
My rating: 4.5/5. Amazing acting and story, The ending was a little streched though.
P.S. : If you want to go to the washroom, go during the chicken song. No progress is made to the story and nothing really happens in that song.
