Despite its lows, Salman shines as Prem; it is his character that makes the film fairly watchable. For Sonam Kapoor, she has been decorated well and is an unmissable part of set design. More than Sonam, it’s Salman’s chemistry with Anupam Kher that is one of the high points of the film.

With the kind of technical support it got, Shaandaar would have been a much better film if it had resisted the temptation of being too offbeat.

PKP-2 could be an eyesore for the feminist brigade as the film has unabashedly taken side and is totally unapologetic about its misogynistic tone.

What could have been a powerful human drama is diluted by over the top performances, incoherent storytelling and an overblown script.

If you are a sucker for slapstick comedy expecting nothing more than a bunch of goofy grins than it’s your movie.

Nikhil Advani has mostly stuck to the original story with some unimaginative changes that only misfire. Expecting a strong plot and powerful performances in a masala film was asking for too much but Hero fails to deliver even on basic levels.

It challenges the viewer’s intelligence with its incoherent script, poor direction and below par performances.

The film makes a poignant point without getting preachy that even if you have absolute devotion towards your faith there is enough space for mutual co-existence.

With India and Pakistan’s tumultuous relation hitting a low with firing exchanges from both sides of border, Bajrangi Bhaijaan’s message of love and peace becomes more pertinent.
