What I fail to understand is don’t film makers of today understand that the public is no longer fascinated by the convenient smile of lady luck on the downtrodden. Whether it be the influential friend who makes the hero a shoe in for the job or be it the simple glace at the climax which gives the vital data as to what to do! These tunes have all been played to the point that they can be exhausted no more. Don’t get me wrong I like a good underdog story as much as the next guy but a story that is so predictable that, you can guess the out come by watching the first 20 mins is too, too much!
Contradictory to Taran Adarsh this movie will arouse patriotic sentiments only in that person who is watching a movie for the first after being transported to the present from 1947.
Over all, the movie is just ok for the simple reason that SRK is the king no doubt about! If you can make the audience dance to tunes as stale as last weeks slice of stale pizza you my friend are definitely the king!!!
What I liked about the movie:
3 letters SRK, I know he has his critics but at the risk for sounding like his die hard fan ,he is simply fantastic. His new look is impressive as well!!!
What I didn't like about the movie:
Ok now old is old and stale is stale but does it always have to be Pakistan being the opponent in every sports movie. I am surprised that the final climax was not against Pakistan! …….ohhhhhhhhh Pakistan does not have woman’s hockey team!
Secondly why is it that you have show that the underdog win’s in the end I think that the directors of bollywood should watch rocky I and rocky balboa again …you don’t have to win the gold to be a winner … but for that maturity in the minds of film makers and public alike requires quite a bit of time
Would you recommend this movie to your friend: Yes
