Saw the movie today, I know it's bad and all but one thing i can't get over..why this film is a woman's story and the focus on all men. if AAMIR wanted he could use the entire script on his own character. this is by far d sexist film i have ever seen...ok its understandable they wanted to provide all the masala nd things to make it entertaining but why reduced the main heroine to a cardboard. secondly no matter how much great action our indian women do on screen, it always looks fake may because we have grown up watching them just dancing around or justify the lust of their male leads, we can never imagine them as great heroines like 'black widow' or 'wonder woman' which is why TOH looks so sexiest. Frankly speaking, I never actually thought that FATIMA even have a role in this film, she is either having a cameo or something but the entire film revolves around her and she's barely there...
STOP BOLLYWOOD STOP ! This is 21st Century Period ! I personally would be happy if this film tanks like no other..even if there's no bigger fan of Aamir Khan like me but frankly this guy becomes insecure when women takes the credit of the film like 'Urmila took the credit in Rangeela or Karishma in Raja Hindustani...that's not their fault though..stop being sexist.

The entire film sucked. It's literally the Aamir Khan show, with other characters just being there without the audience being provided any depth for them. Katrina's role was beyond pointless, Fatima was barely there.

Now this makes me question whether u r his fan..
Aamir stole the show in Rangeela...anyone who has seen the film would agree...Urmilla was really good...Urmilla had more screenspace than Aamir...
Critics those days wrote that the film's title should have been Rani Hindustani bcoz Karishma had more screenspace than him...
He was a star when both these films were made and Urmilla and Karishma were not stars during that time...these films propelled both of them to stardom...

He worked with the same director in Mela where Twinkle has more screenspace than him...

In 1947 Earth,Nandita Das had more screenspace than him...


Victor has also directed Tashan and Dhoom3...

I remember a common criticism of Dhoom 3 was that he made a fun multi starrer franchise and made it into a one man show. Even the Dangal climax, was ridiculous.

More than sexism, it is probably Aamir's insecurities.😆

in that case even Geeta's final match was not a cliffhanger...it was a one sided show...the director had taken cinematic liberty to make it interesting...since it's abt the father-daughter story...

u should watch Tiwari's intvws he stated that Aamir didn't interfere...he was not even present on the sets when the scene was abt the girls...

I knw it's Aamir's time to get bashed since he delivered a flop but yaar this is a bit too much 😆...
