Epic fail vs epic: 'Dilwale' has done 'Bajirao Mastani' a great service

It takes a drought to know the value of water. It takes a kick in the pants to know realize the value of a dignified existence and it takes a 'Dilwale' for us to realize the full potential and impact of 'Bajirao Mastani'.

Just when we thought Shah Rukh's cinematic caliber could plunge no lower than last year's 'Happy New Year', he surprises us with an unhappy Christmas gift. Yes, the battle of the behemoths is finally on us. The box-office verdict is yet not clear. After battling it out in court (and outside), for screens and theatres, both the eagerly awaited films have opened to packed houses across the country and overseas.

However, it looks like director Rohit Shetty and his main lead Shah Rukh Khan have come up with the worst film of their careers. 'Dilwale' is shockingly awful film in every detail. It seems to have been constructed extempore out of the rich resources available to the director.

Look at the abundance of talent and moolah available to Shetty: Shah Rukh Khan and SRK's Red Chillies...and this is the egg, scrambled in stale green chillies, that the director lays? Okay, let's be honest. No one expected 'Dilwale' to be a masterpiece but neither was it expected to be such a monster-piece, so bereft of merit that it makes Shetty's earlier collaboration with SRK in 'Chennai Express' look like 'Mughal-e-Azam'.

If 'Diwale' is much worse than one expected, Sanjay Leela Bhansali's 'Bajirao Mastani' (BM) is even better than one expected. Sparkling like a polished diamond, every frame of this magnum opus shows a master craftsman at work. In fact for every aspect of 'Dilwale' that is a let down BM has an added 'W' to offer.

I consciously bring an automobile allusion into the picture. Shetty, as we all know, is obsessed with posh cars. But it is Bhansali who has delivered a 'BMW' version of a movie. Grand, Oh my gosh, oh so posh!

'Dilwale', on the other hand, demonstrates very poor and lazy writing. The story and dialogues seem to have been written extempore with the jokes taken out of Shetty's WhatsApp content and SantaBanta text messages. It is the artificially-grown product of affluence and arrogance were a superstar, just voted the richest entertainer in India by Forbes, and a superstar director have decided to come together and 'show them'.

'Unko dikha denge' (We'll show them), is a term stars and filmmakers often use about their rivals. 'Dilwale' is clearly one of those misguided products that are meant to display their makers' muscle power. There is no effort to take the cinema of Shetty and SRK forward in any way. Shah Rukh had said in an interview that his film was for the masses while 'BM' was more 'niche'.

Well, there are the niche products and the neech harkatein (lowdown deeds) masquerading as mass entertainment. When you have Shah Rukh Khan you don't need to labour over other aspects of your film-or so Shetty's film screams from every misguided moment of evanescent entertainment.

'Dilwale' displays the highhanded over-confidence of a team that believes it is insurmountably infallible. Cut away from reality , the makers plunge into a can-do-no-wrong escapade that goes horribly haywire with every passing sequence. Extravagance is seen as a substitute for intelligent storytelling. Every luxury car that Shetty blows up (think of how many villages of undernourished children that car could have fed) is like a pounding rebuff to the basic ground-rules of good cinema, namely an elaborate script and good intentions.
Thankfully the year also ends with 'Bajirao Mastani', which in every vital detail, is in direct contrast to 'Dilwale'.

The writing in 'BM' is precise lucid and virile. The action scenes, so far considered Shetty's forte, are done in BM with a flair and finesse that Hollywood would envy.

Everything in BM feels beautiful and I don't mean that in just the physical sense.You come away from the film elated and enriched. 'Dilwale', on the other hand, leaves you feeling poorer, cheated, betrayed. This is King Khan. He can't do this to us!

The makers of 'BM' should thank the 'Dilwale' team for putting their product together in same line of vision. If it wasn't for the comparative source material we may have not have known what Sanjay Leela Bhansali has given us.

A reason to believe Indian cinema has a bright future. Har Har Mahadev!

As the King of Bollywood, Shah Rukh Khan had always been giving big hits in the film industry, his fans were again looking forward for a big hit however, Dilwale, which was said to be the second part of Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayengy (DDLJ), it is not that good as it was expected to be.😆



And LOL to Firstpost who writes open letter to Shahrukh Kajol.
