Laal Singh Chaddha reviews and box office (DT Warning p30) - Page 34

Real reason behind boycott is the movie showed how Hindu mob lynched and killed sikhs of all age groups in '84. Boycotters are ashamed to see their own kukaram after Kashmir files.

Really? Am surprised that they would show Congress party in poor light cz they were the organizers

Didn’t people claim here that dilwale was a box office disappointment because it was a shitty movie, country wide boycott was not a factor ?

Same goes for this movie as well. If it were a better film, some internet fueled outraged would have not affected this movie’s fate.

So LSC is about Hindu atrocities against Sikhs in the 1984 riots...

Then why didn't they say so

P.S. I thought religion is banned in this thread (Warning on pg 30)

The pogrom wasn't caused by the current ruling party. The mobsters were clearly congressmen. No prizes for guessing who were instrumental in fomenting trouble in Punjab.

Congressmen massacred chitpavan brahmins and destroyed property following Bapu's assassination.

It was a pogrom done by people who identified themselves as Congressmen and not as Hindus.

Junaid is doing theatre right? At Least one nepo is trying to learn acting before debut unlike the other recent ones

No recent news about Junaid's YRF film right? Is the shooting completed?

Yes. Aamir said he leared theatre for two years. Then worked in LA in theatre for an year. Then came to Mumbai and has been doing theatre since. Do yeah it must definately polished his skills.

It is being widely reported YRF is keeping Junaid and Vicky Kaushal's film from releasing due to recent failures and is banking on Pathaan n Tiger

I watched it and really enjoyed it. The movie is a remake with a few scenes that are scene for scene the same, but many changes made to adapt to Indian history and sentiments.

I think a big let down in the length of the film. It's a LONG movie, 3 hours long. Beautifully made, but that will test viewer's patients, exceptionally this generation. They really elongated the childhood portion and should have cut down on it.

Additionally, Mona and Kareena absolutely SHINE in the movie and stole the show for me. Kareena is such a seasoned actress by now, that even the simplest scenes are elevated by her performance. In contrast to her, Aamir's act looks comical.

4/5 - purely for the length

Whatever ur views about the movie and Aamir's acting in it but pls don't use words like dimwit, comical or strange for the character

Watched the film and the film was decent. Problem of the film was length of the film and Aamir’s acting. 2nd half was a bit drag

In an interview Atul said he wanted Aamir to tone down a bit for the role, and he was right. It was wrong to be this much animated. It didn’t look good at all.

3/5.

Best way to describe Aamir’s performance would be that ‘ If PK and Samar from Dhoom 3 had a child , he would be named Laal ‘
