Nowhere near his recent bravura performances of Sultan, Bajrangi Bhaijaan and Tubelight, but still very lovable. But then, he’s very unconvincing in the old-age portions. Salman Khan’s breakdown scene showcases the optimum limit of his talent as he owns the aura. Some scenes show the emotional struggle of Ali between keeping what he wants & ending up with some random sequences to please Bhai-fans. Credit where due – Ali’s direction, Marcin Laskawiec’s cinematography, Julius Packiam’s background score are the three major pluses of the film. He played with a very risky subject of the timeline because the to-and-fro drags the process. Remakes come with the limitation of what one could have done! Yes, Ali could have gone all out with just keeping the basic plot of the film same.
SALMAN KHAN IN BHARAT MOVIE MOVIE
The movie starts giving social messages abruptly in between, and there’s a very cringeworthy national anthem moment. The whole partition scenario would have worked if it didn’t come with the baggage of a scattered timeline. The emotional core is strong and is all-heart, but it’s the narration that flips things on the other side. Without making it sound that I’ve hated the film, I would like to say that it’s not a bad film. Bharat Movie Review Bharat Movie Review: Script Analysis Will they reunite? That’s what the story is all about. Bharat, in the climax, remembers he’s on the quest to find his lost father (Jackie Shroff) and lil sister. In the meantime, he befriends Vilayati (Sunil Grover), falls in love with Radha (Disha Patani) and MadamSir Kumud (Katrina Kaif). He washes cars, polishes shoes, joins the circus, goes to the middle east for a job, becomes a Merchant Navy officer with only one thought in mind (he has to keep his family together). In short, Bharat gets partitioned during 1947 from his father now he has an entire family to take care of. We’re so obsessed with Salman having an entry scene Ali decided to shoot a stand-alone scene as Bharat’s first scene and shabbily patched up with the film. There are few idiosyncrasies attached with the movies of certain stars – Shah Rukh Khan’s spreading his arms, emotional angle in an Aamir Khan film & ‘no animals were harmed’ certificate during Salman films (just kidding).
Watch or Not?: Umm, if you’re a Salman fan, you’ll not be asking this question but if you’re not – watch it when it’s digitally available just to enjoy few high points of the film Loo Break: All the songs apart from Aaya Na Tu!
What’s Bad: Length (That’s what she said), slow pace ruins the connect, forced patriotism & an unconvincing 70-year-old Salman
What’s Good: The emotional side of Salman Khan, background score pumps up the ordinary scenes, Sunil Grover – to an extent, cinematography capturing the right essence of every era Star Cast: 4 kinds of Salman Khan, out of which couple of them justify their presence, Jai to his Veeru, Buzz Lightyear to his Woody, quirkiness to his subtlety – Sunil Grover, a fellow artificial old-aged soulmate – Katrina Kaif, a long-distance-relationship reject Disha Patani & moreĭirector: The man who thought it would be emotional enough to have the central character named on the country (thank god, someone in Kyrgyzstan didn’t get this idea) – Ali Abbas Zafar Bharat Movie Review: It’s Not Salman Khan, It’s Ali Abbas Zafar!
