I will expect you to be honest. Hope you are not adulterated with maida but made of pure chhena.

Posting this from another thread:

Okay, so I went to watch the movie with a bunch of friends, and mind you, these people sat through two-three gruelling hours of Mr. X and Raabta, one of them having watched Sultan in the theatre 5 times.

None of us could bear to sit through the entire movie and with the amount of fidgeting going around throughout, you'd think we were some gnarly 3 year olds with diaper rashes than 20 something year olds.

Oh Lord. Salman is terrible. No good way to put it. Sohail seems to be bursting out of his shirt, his nose looks a tad too big for his face. Much like how pulling off this movie seems for Salman. Om Puri, the little child and the guy who plays the shopkeeper are probably the only parts of the movie that I didn't cringe to.

The movie has the word "yakeen" so many times, that it seemed like a better title for the movie than Tubelight, which is a very lame joke from around 20 years ago, to begin with.

SRK may have his faults, but those five minutes of him on screen, with Salman in the same shot had us dying for him to simply continue. The simple difference in the voice modularity of these two actors is laughable.

Salman tries to act like a specially abled person. "Tries" may be putting it too sympathetically. Talking slowly does not an actor make. Around 3/4th of movie passes and you realise that nothing has happened so far other than Salman Khan pulling a constipated face once in a while and crying. You think something may happen in the final scenes. You are dead beat wrong.

No story exists in the movie, simply put. What Salman achieves by staring far off into the mountainlands and grunting like a man who needs a serious dose of fiber in his diet to relieve himself of the constipation and if it bears any semblance of a connection with the war his brother was in, if present in the movie, did not pass through me or any of the people in the theater.

If you're planning to watch the movie, please DON'T.

You know a movie is bad, when you come out of the theater talking about how MR. X had more plot - a movie where a man turns invisible due to his clothes getting stuck to his body with acid.

And the worst part was that it was boring. There was no sense of waiting for what would happen because there was nothing to look forward to.

While Salman stands on the wooden bench and stares away at the mountains, none of us understood what the relevance was. What he trying the move the mountain? Was he trying to bring his brother back? Did he hate the scenery? I've watched almost every movie in the theater for the past 2-3 years, and for me personally, it failed to even reach the level of PRDP. Maybe it was the feel, maybe it was the expectations. My husband liked Raabta more than this, can you believe it? Some humor, some depth, a touch of anything else may have made the movie a better experience, but alas.

I guess what failed was the lack of an anchor in the movie. When you make a movie only based on emotions, the calibre of acting should be just as high. When that fails, what you're left with is an unsatisfied audience.

Excerpt from my review in the DT.

The movie was something very close to beautiful. The message it conveyed was striking, compelling.

The movie gives you nice and warm feelings, at the end you indeed feel a sense of power. You have to believe in yourself and in whatever you do if you want to achieve something in your life. That's a must. #Goodlifelesson.

Salman was inconsistent through out the movie. Some scenesw, he was good..

I don't get when people say Salman's crying was hilarious. I didn't feel so. In fact, I cried when he cried. There was this connection.

Another fact, he is the only actor that can make me cry. It's so child-like. Maybe because that's how I cry too, and look just exactly like him when I see myself in the mirror😆😆

Kabir should have taken someone else. From the younger lot probably. Varun maybe. They could have done full justice to the role.

The movie dragged a lot. It was freaking 3 hours long! I was yawning. Kabir should and could have edited out some unnecessary scenes.

Why the movie isn't working?

Kabir khan is to blame. He shouldn't have taken Salman and compromised with the script as it never works. He took Salman as a money minting machine and let it be. He thought that maybe the audience is going to accept whatever Salman dishes out.

And this backfired, Salman has this macho man image which is hard to break plus he already played this kind of role before in Bajrangi, he was much saner there.

Infact, Tubelight is a rehash of Bajrangi Bhaijaan. The base of the story is same that there should be no war because of its adverse side-effects.

It was a similar kind of role for Salman and the kids. The girl played a Pakistani character and the boy played a Chinese role.

The audience has seen something like this before too, hence the movie doesn't interest them. People only are going to flock to the theatre if you every time bring something new what Aamir does.

Rehash stuff won't work now. It worked for Salman before but now it won't work for him too I guess. TL proves it.

Hence Salman shouldn't do that Remo movie at all if he wants to save himself from another disaster.

3.5/5 ***. The critics are way too harsh. Inspite of bad acting from Salman, it gives out a really strong message.

Special mention: SRK as Gogo Pasha🤣. The scene was so over-dramatic. Yes it was the turning point but Kabir could have tone it down.

When my mum saw him, she slowly whispered into my ears and was like "Kitna ganda lag raha hai"😆.

I personally thought he looked good there. Yet to show her, his without make-up pics.
