Dilwale
Critic reviews and ratings
-
An unadulterated crowd-pleaser...
-
Rohit Shetty has made far more entertaining films in the past. But they did not have Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol. This pair is something special. Watch the film for them!
-
Even if you are not a Rohit Shetty fan, watch this for the chemistry between SRK and Kajol which refuses to simmer down even after all these years.
-
Low on content — plot lines borrowed, incohesive screenplay and lowbrow dialogues — the film leans heavily on Shah Rukh's mega-stardom, Varun's effervescence, breathtaking locales, orchestrated car chases and over-the-top situations, which have you chuckling.
-
...is immensely enjoyable despite an oh-my-god-this-is-so-predictable story.
-
...is flawed, but it's right for those who believe that love does conquer it all, actually.
-
...is the quintessential popcorn flick. It’s colorful, bright and entertaining. It smartly keeps its play on the SRK-Kajol chemistry. It has fantastic music. Decent laughs too. Definitely worth a dekho.
-
....a movie in need of a road map.
-
In a bid to chase the Bollywood success formula of a masala flick, which Rohit Shetty undisputedly has cracked over the years, this film tried to pack too many punches in one. As a result, none are strong enough.
-
The lead pair is all heart. The film they are trapped in is, unfortunately, utterly soulless.
-
...this is good popcorn time-pass for SRK fans.
-
More or less what you expect with a little twist thrown in. Ok fine, a couple of genuine laughs too.
-
...wasn’t a tough film to salvage, and wouldn’t have been this unbearable, if Shetty had the basic skills to execute its most crowd pleasing bit — the chemistry between Khan and Kajol — superficially well.
-
The real problem with Dilwale is the sheer artificiality of the enterprise.
-
In essence hence Diwale is basically about a group of people doing what they have been doing for years.
-
...suffers from limpid writing and unenthusiastic direction.
-
Every decision in Dilwale screams: I have Shah Rukh and Kajol in my film, so why bother?
-
The deliberate attempt to repackage and sell the Kajol-SRK romance of yore backfires, seeming like a pale shadow of the magic there once was.
-
Shah Rukh and Kajol are the only saving grace who have tried to play their characters with all their heart. But with a weak script and senseless dialogues, even their chemistry cannot save this film.
-
...has a highly predictable storyline. In fact, it relies solely on the star power of SRK and some chuckle-worthy PJs
-
...to take them (SRK and Kajol) for granted and expect that their mere presence would negate the need for a story, screenplay or any other element that makes a film, scripts Dilwale's doom.
-
...an absolute dud.
-
...is a plotless drag : the slaphappy antics you see on screen are a random jumble of light, camera, action, done in the broadest sense.
-
There are stupid films, and there are films that flaunt their stupidity. Rohit Shetty is a frequent purveyor of the latter sort.
-
Dilwale is Rohit Shetty misappropriating a genre created by the Chopras and inherited by Karan Johar.
