First the good things that must be appreciated:
- I must say, it’s an amazing attempt from the Indian film industry.
- I will also risk it by saying one of the best I have ever witnessed, visually.
- The mix of real and VFX is so amazing that am so glad that I went for an IMAX experience.
- Also, the mix of background score and the visuals is totally out of this world, frankly I did not expect an Indian film to be this good.
- The songs are also catchy and mixes well with the theme and the timing is good.
- Actors did a good job of the script provided – or the lack of it.
- One of the best interval moments.
- The climax VFX and the background score was the best.
- SRK was well used in the story but…
Now, for what could have been better:
- The script could have been better WITHOUT the love story angle.
- The love story was a distraction – like a literal distraction.
- The dialogues could have been written by an adult. The haathi-gainda, pizza pieces, button references were literally showcasing Ayan’s super effort for pleasing the below 10 year old viewers.
- It could have been made for adults, but I guess I was not the target audience.
- I started yawning every time Isha (Alia) asked Shiva (Ranbir) who are you?
- SRK’s dialogues could have been better written.
I cannot emphasise enough on the effort Ayan would have taken to build this saga. Even experimenting this out is super challenging to say the least. I also understand that this movie was in the making for almost a decade, the dialogues got out-timed and the relevance may not have stayed.
But am not repenting watching this movie.Do not listen or read too much, watch it for the experience and sure, take your kids, they will love it, its made for them after all.
i liked it too.
