Laal Singh Chaddha
Laal Singh Chaddha, director Advait Chandan's Hindi remake of Forrest Gump based on an adapted screenplay by Atul Kulkarni, replicates the original's narrative structure, and in its plot, does some things better but some things mindlessly worse. Where Laal Singh Chaddha is a vast improvement on Forrest Gump is in the characterisation of Laal's life-long love interest, Rupa (Kareena Kapoor Khan). Yet, Laal Singh Chaddha plays it safe by completely avoiding comment on or even mention of the deeply troubling divisive forces dominating India today.
