Dilwale 2015 Movie Review: Shah Rukh’s best film
till date was in his early days of his career – Kabhi Haa Kabhi Naa with
the Goa setup. Now after 23 years, we have Dilwale again in the Goa
setup. The impact this time is unfortunately disastrous. Despite having a
great budget and the most adorable pair of Bollywood – SRK and Kajol,
the script and the screenplay of Dilwale is not even 2rs (in the
language of KRK). The film is extremely clichéd.
The beginning
titles roll showing quick cuts of SRK in an action sequence and
continuously shooting bullets. The film then unveils in Goa where Raj
(Shah Rukh Khan) runs a garage. He has a brother Veer (Varun Dhawan)
whom he pampers like his son. Veer falls in love with Ishita (Kriti
Sanon). The movie then travels back 15 years when the ‘young’ SRK is the
son of an Indian Don (played by Vinod Khanna) in Bulgaria. Malik Dev
(Kabir Bedi) is the rival don and his daughter is Meera (Kajol). They
fall in love but the don rivalry creates a misunderstanding between them
and separate. How and why they meet after 15 years forms the rest of
the story.
Rohit
Shetty tried desperately to recreate the Raj-Simran chemistry. Alas, he
failed miserably. Probably it needs an Aditya Chopra or Karan Johar to
do that. Making the greatest pair of Bollywood look dull and artificial
is not a joke. It needs a pathetic screenplay and dialogues to do that.
Rohit Shetty and team get that rare credit to make SRK Kajol look so
boring on the screen. There were just a couple of scenes where they
looked adorable. Rest of it looked so made-up. How in the world could
SRK and Kajol agree to do such a boring script? The first 25 minutes
gets on to your nerves with humour that hardly works. The rotten comedy
by Johny Lever is just terrible. The movie gets a bit interesting only
in the Bulgaria sequence. When it moves back to Goa, it again became
stale. The climax is just unbearable.
The
only appealing part of the film is the Gerua song and that video was a
synonym for beauty. Had they took at least 10% of the pain in scripting a
story, Dilwale would have been a magnificent film with the team they
have. Pritam’s music is not up to the mark too and dumped the movie even
more. Varun Dhawan’s role was annoying throughout. Kajol was the best
of the lot trying to cover up the crappy role and dialogues. SRK looked
disinterested and dull.
Dilwale is a waste of money for the makers
and probably could be a waste of ticket money for the viewers too. Its
better off not watching a golden pair involved in such a passionless,
spiritless and soulless movie!
All cars and zero chemistry.
