Never been a big fan of Salman Khan. I guess it's because of my unhealthy obession with Shah Rukh Khan. Yet, I have probably managed to see most of Bhai's films. From Maine Pyaar Kiya to Maine Pyaar Kyu Kiya, I have loyally devoured his movies => crying, laughing, and a little bit of both at times. I probably stopped getting excited about his movies when he shifted from comedy to more serious topics. I felt he wasn't the actor that I knew and loved.
When I went to the theater to watch Bajrangi Bhaijaan, I was expecting 3 hours of torture and seriousness. However, that was not the case at all.
As soon as Bhai made an entry on screen, people started clapping and whistling => I was shocked because this was happening in the United States! Never have I seen an actor receive this much appraisal in the cinema hall. It made me realize the reach of Bhai's popularity all over the world.
Onto the movie, I was either laughing or crying the whole time. His expressions and acting had me in awe. I really admire the way he managed to make me feel a million different emotions in a span of 2 hours and something minutes.
The same thing can be said about Kick. I felt that Kick was also one of his stronger movies when it comes to heavier topics. Or it might just be that I am biased about the Salman- Nawazuddin duo.
Either way, hats off to Salman Khan for making an entry into my heart again <3
