Saw the movie today and I must say I am mighty surprised. This was sane, entertaining and quite funny. When I saw Gerua I wasnt much impressed for all looked fake but dude that song looks one heck of beauty in the theater. Yes Dilwale is not one of the most epic or intelligent movies of this year but It is not logic-less either. It has a story (and quite believable one). What I loved the most about the movie is that its look and feel is very simple and real. You dont have half baked scenes or incomplete conversations just happening for the heck of it (Sry if that reminds one of Tamasha which I found irritating for this very reason). But Dilwale despite having proper flow in scenes, is quite fast paced. The movie is unexpectedly funny and Johny lever is AMAZING...hv seen him in form after so long. Kajol looks stunning and SRK is simply loveable (And believe that to be coming from someone whose not a diehard fan). His act in the second half reminds u his chak de stint just for the sanity and passion he portrays as the reformed don. Kajol has got a twisted character and she played it effortlessly. Varun is adorable specially the bond shared by SRK and Varun...its heart-warming. ❤️ Kirti is more of beauty than acting but she is decent not looking over or under anywhere.
But what works the most for the movie is the songs (Gerua full version is magic and daayre is beauty) and comic timing of four great comic actors johny,boman, sanjay and mukesh. All four are simply hilarious. SRK-Kajol chemistry, though forced at some points, is still quite sizzling.
I am amazed why critics are bashing this movie so much. This is one of the better movies Rohit shetty made. Its entertaining and got feels. Atleast it doesnt bore you. Yes its not for the intelligentsia but its not bad. I honestly found it much better than the likes of OSO, CE or HNY.
