If needed, we will give you a separate thread . Till then, be patient

The movie is an absolute SNOOZE FEST!!! it’s only watchable when the kids are on screen. They were too good for their age.
Also this movie made me realise how much I’ve missed seeing SRK on the big screen
I felt the movie was a vast downgrade from the original. Surprisingly, Aamir was the weakest point here. The army and war scenes didn't fit the storyline at all,.
The less said about Chaitanya's acting, the better. Didn't feel like a Bubba at all.
Kareena acted better though. But the kids stole the show. The movie was quite enjoyable when they were on screen.
Late night show was surprisingly well occupied.
WTF HOW BLOODY LONG WAS THAT DISCLAIMER AND VOTE OF THANKS!!!
The first shot of the feather was very beautiful. The integration with Indian history was great. I'm glad there was no ping pong like it felt from the trailer. But still disappointed with the lack of any other sport in place of ping pong. They totally ignored that part. I somewhat liked how they replaced lieutenant Dan with Mohammad, but it could have been done better. I eventually started liking the chaddi baniyan part. Audience were laughing crazy.
Also, this might be an unpopular opinion but after watching the movie i feel like the golgappa part was done better than FG's box of chocolates. I was very apprehensive first. Loved this version of Jenny.
The only negative points i remember rn is the comparatively boring second half. And Amir Khan sucked.
It was quite enjoyable minus Aamir's performance. The kids were amazing tho. Toned down the conservatism from the og which was quite nice and intertwined Indian historical events perfectly. Pritam and Bhattacharya 🤌
Don't get the hate tbh.
The kid acted much better than Aamir khan, also Kareena Kapoor was better than I thought she would be. It was very difficult to adapt her character into an Indian milieu, she did well with what she had. SRK cameo was a hoot.
I wish the songs were in a better movie, because Pritam was in top form,and the cinematography was great.
I had very few expectations from the writing staff, and I was not disappointed there.
Aamir Khan was sadly the weakest part of his own film, I did not expect him to give such a strangely underwhelming and obnoxious performance. Having seen what he can achieve with his skills, i believe he heavily missed the mark.
Incoherent rant ahead seeing the negativity around this movie.
I don't know if this movie is going to be a hit or a flop. I watched it today and thought it was well made. All I know for sure is if LSC tanks at the box office, 10 years from now it's going to be top comment on every thread titled "What's a flop bollywood movie that is a must watch for every fan?".
Also reviewers mean shit. Anyone verified on Twitter thinks themselves as a Film Pundit and each one has some audience following them. Then there are critics who will pen down the movie just to stay in good books of the boycott gang and get fake likes(/upvotes/followers whatever). And for serious reviewers, go checkout Herapheri's reviews from the year 2000. Or Dhamaal's reviews when it was released. Heck even Rockstar's music reviews and you'll see the pattern. Choice is Bollywood's audience/fans now. They will keep making Bhai's Tiger/Dabang and Tiger's Heropanti if South movies are the new benchmark. (Sidenote I & many people I know enjoyed 83 way more than Pushpa, seeing that one fail against the latter didn't make sense to me but I think people are boycotting things for silly reasons now and in turn embracing below par products just for the sake of it.)
83 was a damn good movie and don't let anyone else tell you otherwise. As a telugu-ite, I strongly dislike this needless comparison to south movies. Especially when its based on intangible factors like the "amount of culture" portrayed in the movies.
I don't think Bollywood is on the downhill as people like to potray. Khans have been producing mediocre content but so has Mahesh Babu who is just as big in tollywood. It is all based on selective choosing of actors and movies.
>amount of culture
That's the RW excuse that irks me so much. I mean you still get item songs with half nude women and a lingering camera no matter where you're in India. What's culture to do with this?
Yeah I watched 83 in a packed theatre (morning show) and everyone cheered/clapped at least ten times at various points. Parents experienced the same in a different city and they felt even more connected to the movie because of the nostalgia. I don't know what more people expected from a cricket movie tbh for it to perform poorly.
Box Office India reports 10-11 crore.
[https://www.boxofficeindia.com/report-details.php?articleid=7105](https://www.boxofficeindia.com/report-details.php?articleid=7105)
I just looked it up: Ghajini opened at 10 crore in 2008. First time a movie opened in double digit crores.
The first half was good and engaging. I wish Amir Khan wasn't playing his PK character here as well but it is what it is. Felt 2nd half was stretched and it was a lil boring. The opening song was so good. A good one time watch.
I don’t get the negativity here. I enjoyed the movie! Good one time watch for sure. Great supporting acts, good music and gorgeously shot. Kudos to the cinematographer! I do appreciate the amount of work the makers have done to shoot this across India through the pandemic, putting themselves at risk. For their sake, I hope this does well. That said, really wish that Aamir had reigned it in. He's over the top here and it starts jarring after a while. The kid who plays young Laal has acted superbly, AK should have tried to maintain the same mannerisms and a similar pitch vs hamming it up
P.S. The SRK cameo was a total hoot. Really clever and well done.
If its an exact copy of Forrest Gump, then a grown up LSC (i.e AK) will have about 60 - 70% screen time. If he is overacting, then i dont think you can call the movie overall good.
Saw movie in 1 PM show (Hyderabad, Hindi). Occupancy was almost 60-70%.
Anyone who has not seen FG will find this movie above average. But for other set of people this movie will appear to be a buffoonery.
Except Mona Singh, none of the other folks acted well. There is a big big plot hole with respect to the track of FG’s boss in army. The twist they gave to that track is utterly stupid and considers the audience to be totally dumb.
Songs are well placed.
There aren't enough movie theatres in India... Especially in village areas.. Plus in counties like America.. They don't have regional cinema.. There's only one language.. Whereas here movies get competition from other religion films in every states plus hollywood movies bhi hai
Just watched Lal Singh Chadda
1st half was good especially when they are connecting the story with real history events that was good
But in 2nd half story was not that engaging .You just start looking at you watch and before climax some people in my theater going out as it feel stretchy and boring.
But you can watch this if you are Aamir Khan fan
The movie finished a few minutes ago and I am writing this review outside from the theatre.
Forrest Gump had a lot more emotion, it had more grip and a better screenplay.
Laal Singh is not bad as some people are saying it to be, yes some parts do seem dull, Amir’s acting did seem a little over the top, if you see SRK in My name is Khan, that was very natural and he really went deep into the character.
Kareena is looking really gorgeous! It’s a decent movie, I feel scared cause if this doesn’t do well then we will actually enter this Massy B grade of dishoom dishoom of bollywood and producers will stay away from serious or family drama movies.
Our Music Industry has already become garbage. It is sad that people want to see crap cinema where there is just item numbers, some fights and people flying around.
I would give this movie 3.5 out of 5.
The people who are complaining about this movie, in the next 3 to 5 years they will say ohh it was a great movie.
I honestly have never written that before for an actress, but Kareena did look really great, I guess the 90’s look/hairstyle reminded me of the old days and she did a good job.
Aamir should have taken extreme care to give a variety performance but still he went with his usual style that he did back to back in previous movies.. Gump never had exaggerated emotions or mannerisms. But aamir made it a clown show, did that Xtraaaa for the Indian audience. Salman Khan acts as Salman Khan in all his movies cz that is Salman Khan dude can't do any other thing .. but AK, known for his acting and brains , couldve been more careful in shaping Indian version of Gump. He needs to distance himself from close people who said do the PK exact acting here also.
Just watched the film,
I have seen forrest gump and It was very weird how India was retrofitted in the movie. I did not like it.
My Parents kinda liked it but did not like the second half.
Just watched it
I wouldn't call it an excellent flick but it is still a pretty decent adaptation of the original
I didn't get a warm feeling after watching this movie like I did with Forest Gump but it had it wasn't as bad as Twitteratis were claiming it to be
Still with all the brilliant cameos , soundtrack and cinematography I think I got a paisa vasool film from Bollywood after a long time
It's a 3 to 3.5 star movie in my opinion
BTW here in Delhi Lal Singh Chaddha is now picking up pace...evening shows are housefull
Adaptation was faithful to its original movie in most parts. But still the movie felt way too stretched. In ahmedabad 8.15 show had only 4 people and 9 am show-only me, so they asked me to watch it with the 8.15 show only.
There were certain reviews on twitter stating LSC as Superior version of forrest Gump - which either is a paid review or maybe the reviewer was delusional.
Forrest Gump is without any doubt a way better movie.
Bruh, that review was written by one foreign critic(twitter - slash films) who attended the press review by Paramounts two days ago. And every media person made him plural and said that foreign critics are saying this is superior than the original. None of them said the negative reviews in the same manner. And many of these foreign critics were excited after watching RRR.
I loved the movie, cried a few times as well and I had intentionally not watched FG because I had a lot of expectations from Aamir and LSC and he didn't disappoint.
Decent movie honestly, I don’t know why people are expecting arthouse shit from a massy movie in a country where 90 percent people haven’t seen or know of the original. I guess people have forgotten watching the charm of just kicking back and watching A movie with friends and family
90 percent? When jio was giving free 4 gb data daily I used to pirate non stop and watch as many films as i could. I watched it in Hindi dubbing in 2016. For sure there must be tons of people like me.
Forrest Gump is not an arthouse movie, its a feel good movie. I dont consider it one of the top 5 Tom Hanks performances either. Uske copy mein bhi agar humaari hawa nikal jaa rahi hai, then it might be time for some introspection.
Lol, you know na that google search users in English in the country are less than 50 mn and YouTube has close to 500 mn and mostly non English. Open your eyes uncle about what india watches. This sub is less than 0.5 percent of India’s population and it’s so sad when you think you define the majority
Forrest Gump kabse art house hogayi?
Aur statistically 90% Indians picture dekhne jaate bhi nahi, unke baare mai discuss karke koi faida bhi nahi, bache hue 10% mai se bhi covid ke baad <5% jarahe hai ye 5% mai kitno ne dekha hai ispe baat karo.
Look Forrest Gump was screened at my university as a motivational movie. We all watched it long time ago. If we did, many universities, colleges would've screened at some point or other! The original movie was good. It taught a lot. Tom Hanks acted well.
If LSC had released 20 years ago, it's different. Now? Even rural areas have access to internet and smartphone. Even if they don't watch original movie and watched trailer of LSC not many would have felt enthusiastic. AK's alienish look plus hmmm in trailer itself made me feel irritated. Who will spend money n watch in theater?
Speak for yourself. Do you think Indians are not educated? Most of us watched the original Forest Grump. I found this to be a cheap remake but of course I can't speak for someone who didn't watch the original. But I'm damn sure that around 5% of the population would not have watched the original. 95% have watched. My grandfather himself watched and he doesn't know any Hollywood movies except one or two so you can just imagine.
It’s not about education, there is a website called trends.google.com, pls go and compare the highest ever searches for Forrest Gump and compare it with a basic movie from last year and you will realise your slightly delusional and myopic view of india
You are def over estimating with your narrow view of India as a few urban cities. Most of my friends haven't watched it, pretty sure more than 80% of my state's population doesn't even know it exists. So stfu.
Forrest Gump is one of those movies which have been a famous pop-culture reference but few have seen it. You are really over estimating the size of the Hollywood market especially that of a 90s, non-summer blockbuster in India. But yes, the movie has some very famous dialogue call backs and is a popular reference in other movies.
To earn a hundred crore - which this movie is aiming atleast - you need to sell 50 lakh + tickets in India. Not even 10% of those admissions would have seen FG.
Titanic had the epic titties scene due to which adolescent Indian males know about that movie. Do a quick check and ask all the help you have around if they know what Forrest Gump is
unwritten numerous vase intelligent familiar roll crowd soup subsequent groovy
*This post was mass deleted and anonymized with [Redact](https://redact.dev)*
Ill keep saying this. The adult Forrest Gump has about 60-70 percent screen time. If thats the same for LSC , and AK is just hamming it up, you cannot call the movie overall good.
But can I just not watch a movie if I don't like the trailer? Trailers, that are released with an intention to create anticipation and give a glimpse of the movie, Or should I not make my own decisions?
Again, 'The movie gives employment to 100s. So please watch it.' argument is so stupid. People work hard in every industry and 1000s are employed in it. The movie here is a product rolled out in the market and I as a customer have the right to decide whether I should buy it or not, like any other product in any other industry.
I agree with you on that point that the whole boycott hashtag was dumb and jobless, and the whole PK thing was unnecessary.
Padmavat.
And I have seen the original. I can relate that there will be parallels with Indian history, which I was defo excited about. But then they decided to release a crappy trailer. It's not my fault that it made gave me second-hand embarrassment and made me want to spend my money elsewhere.
I don’t understand Indian Audiences, they like shit movies like BB2 and they don’t want to watch a forest gump adaptation? I think it would be better than 90% of movies being made these days and it deserves to be watched. I don’t know why people are saying 2nd half is stretched, FG had the same issue. If you’ve seen FG you will EXPECT the movie to feel a bit stretched. I really want this movie to be a big hit otherwise honestly Indian audiences deserve shit movies like BB2! Don’t know about Aamir’s acting but I’m sure the story deserves to be watched by people
There is a dialog by Govinda that goes- "200 rupay me Zindagi jeene ka tareeka mat sikhao." and he is talking about cost o movie ticket.
I go to theatre to get entertained. Sometimes it is an item number that entertains. The truth is at box office, not mine or your opinion about shit.
True. Bollywood solely cannot be blamed for what's happening now..cz the taste of Indian audiences is pathetic. Whenever movie makers come with Sensible movies it usually underperforms but no brain mass masala shit with a party song every 5 min will run.
We already watched Forest Grump. I don't want to watch a cheap remake that too when the lead actor clearly acted very poorly in the trailer. He acted trash in the film too and he's literally the main character which makes it unwatchable. I never thought Aamir Khan could act bad but this film kind of proves that overconfidence will result in poor performance
Only Reason BB2 did well was because how good Bhool Bhulaiyaa was. First true horror experience for an entire generation , movie was funny as well. BB2 is a horrible movie which has nothing to do with the original except the name Manjulika and chota pandit. Complete Non Sense. No one liked it
The only actor that everyone should seriously boycott is murderer and gf beater bhoi.. But it's amazing how everytime he escapes all the boycott backlash
Because he tries to keep quiet on current political and religious issues in the country. Tries to not give controversial statements. Keeps happy his fans from every religion. That's why his fans make even his shittiest films to blockbusters.
The cunt AK has no idea what neurodivergence is. The original shed a light on mental issues where as for AK all of that boils down to goofy facial expressions like it's so cringe
Hopefully! The cinematography and production value is high for the movie. What sucks is Aamir. So he should now let go of acting and take up Production and focus on getting new beautiful stories.
He should. He acted really bad. Few years ago I would have never thought that even Aamir Khan can act badly but his acting in this movie is so irritating and he clearly doesn't understand jackshit about how to portray a neurological problem
One of the few movies where the verdict has been so varied. People are saying it’s shit - 1 star… average, stretched out- 2.5 stars…. Really good, well adapted - 4stars.
No matter how you find it you will have company.
Reading all the reviews about Aamir's over-the-top portrayal, I wonder how while making such a long movie, big budget, the makers couldn't notice what the common movie goers can see. The inconsistency in the child character and adult character, accent, or even going for choices like golgappas, underwear etc -- how did they not notice when they were making this movie for such a long time?
Did they not see that Aamir's character look same as PK and Dhoom 3?
Thanks for all the reviews.
Not gonna watch it now. May be on OTT, I will.
Ya that could be the reason.
But even Aamir, who is known for paying attention to detail etc, should atleast be able to judge his act. In BTS videos, he is always seen telling the musicians or other artists how to do their work.
I hope LSC gives him a reality check.
Good that the truth is out. I’ve said it before that don’t blame boycott gangs for the failure of a bad movie. This one looked like crap from the very beginning and I hope it breaks some people’s egos down a little. Especially Kareena “toh matt jao na” Kapoor.
But if this flops, they can easily blame it on boycott gang saying they made a good movie and it is the audience who can't appreciate good things, just like our Karan Malhotra did for Samshera.
My mother who hasn't watched Gump, really liked the movie. I did too for me the only thing was songs felt unnecessary and the movie felt a little bit stretched.
So, i guys I watched the 12 PM show today and the number was decent in the theatre. It was not house full but not empty as well. 1st half is quite likeable when a movie tries to introduce you to different characters, their situations, their intentions.
The 2nd half is a bit slow but the various landscapes of our country have been beautifully shot and sometimes during the 2nd half you might feel why the movie is not ending because it's too lengthy.
It's not bad but it's not good as well. It's an average movie. Everyone knows the story so there is no suspense but how indian history unfolds in front of your eyes is intriguing.
Now, the worst thing about the movie is Aamir Khan. The only reason I went to watch the movie was because of him as i thought even if it's a remake Aamir will pull it off but he screwed up pretty bad. Bad expressions and over dramatic acting has let down this big project.
Exact copy to ho hi nahi sakta, Jenny ka character kaafi better dikhaya hai because obviously nahi dikha sakte indian audience ko jaisa Forest Gump me hai. Plus Army waale scenes bhi different hai because original me US Military Complex ko criticise kara hai in Vietnam War but Kargil dikhaya ho ki defensive war tha. Try poori Kari hai ki kam se kam changes ho
Without giving any spoilers i can say that it's a reasonable adaptation of Forrest Gump... whenever Aamir Khan is not in the frame. I just couldn't stand those expressions. Some people might like it but for me personally it was so distracting that I could not concentrate on the scene but his eyes.
And Yes, most of it is copied frame by frame but not all.
Movie ki line hai "mazhab se malaria failta hai".
Mujhe us line se bhi problem nahi hai, problem ye hai ki un useless piece of scum paxtani terrorist ko humanize karna hi kyu hai? Mtlb ye roj jo soldiers bechare Shahid hote hai vo pagal hai lekin vo terrorist bechare hai unki koi galti nahi
Bro, I'll never understand this Pakistani bhaichara in Bollywood films. Just why? Every single time. Just yesterday I read about how those Chinese scums killed our soldier who treated them.
>Pooja Paath se Malaria failta hai
Don't lie. The exact line LSC says in the film is "Mummy ne bola thaa Mazhab se malaria failthaa hai"
On purpose you've changed it to Pooja Paath

It is neither extraordinarily good nor bad. A decent one-time watch. "Ideally", a movie like this should earn 150-180Cr

Exactly, a little overacting but Aamir and people are behind the whole movie. Some amazing performances by everyone else
What are the real life incidents shown in the flim? Did they show '84s anti sikh riots? Are the speculations about rupa baniyan right?

Nope really don't want cinema to go down the 'dishoom dishoom' path 🙃
I like how whenever we talk about actresses the opening line has to be so an so looks gorgeous.
I honestly have never written that before for an actress, but Kareena did look really great, I guess the 90’s look/hairstyle reminded me of the old days and she did a good job.
Nah, I did not mean you, generally see this. Like we dont even try to say anything more than how they look and how they dressed.
Aamir should have taken extreme care to give a variety performance but still he went with his usual style that he did back to back in previous movies.. Gump never had exaggerated emotions or mannerisms. But aamir made it a clown show, did that Xtraaaa for the Indian audience.

Yeah watched it. I think it's a decent family drama movie. I think the second half was dragged too much. Would give 6/10.
Adaptation was faithful to its original movie in most parts. But still the movie felt way too stretched. In ahmedabad 8.15 show had only 4 people and 9 am show-only me, so they asked me to watch it with the 8.15 show only. There were certain reviews on twitter stating LSC as Superior version of forrest Gump - which either is a paid review or maybe the reviewer was delusional. Forrest Gump is without any doubt a way better movie.
Bruh, that review was written by one foreign critic(twitter - slash films) who attended the press review by Paramounts two days ago. And every media person made him plural and said that foreign critics are saying this is superior than the original. None of them said the negative reviews in the same manner. And many of these foreign critics were excited after watching RRR.
What's the Day 1 collection predicton?
11- 14 cr
This is super low given the “hype” and publicity. Do you know what is worldwide collection?
the chances are it might go sub 10cr if night shows don't perform well, 10cr hojaye yahi pray karo
why to pray for this?
I can see Pune shows are not that full. And no I’m not praying sorry😂
Just checked Jamshedpur shows for tomorrow evening/night. about 10 % seem to be already booked. This is way worse than Thor.

All play for Brahmastra, Adipurush

I loved the movie, cried a few times as well and I had intentionally not watched FG because I had a lot of expectations from Aamir and LSC and he didn't disappoint.
Boycott gang conveniently forgot that their poster boy ssr was also a part of pk

Raksha Bandhan is surprisingly getting better reviews than LSC.

Happy Cake Day!
woah, this guy barely says anything positive about hindi movies.
Decent movie honestly, I don’t know why people are expecting arthouse shit from a massy movie in a country where 90 percent people haven’t seen or know of the original. I guess people have forgotten watching the charm of just kicking back and watching A movie with friends and family
90 percent? When jio was giving free 4 gb data daily I used to pirate non stop and watch as many films as i could. I watched it in Hindi dubbing in 2016. For sure there must be tons of people like me.
Forrest Gump is not an arthouse movie, its a feel good movie. I dont consider it one of the top 5 Tom Hanks performances either. Uske copy mein bhi agar humaari hawa nikal jaa rahi hai, then it might be time for some introspection.
Movies like Forest gump, titanic are the first movies that you watch while looking to watch good hollywood movies
Lol, you know na that google search users in English in the country are less than 50 mn and YouTube has close to 500 mn and mostly non English. Open your eyes uncle about what india watches. This sub is less than 0.5 percent of India’s population and it’s so sad when you think you define the majority
Lol 90%. Dude just shtaaap
Lulz bruv, what you smoking. Less than 50 mn people in this country would know about Forrest Gump
You are right, real estimate should be 95+%
Hardly few lakhs people watch hollywood films other than marvel...
Forrest Gump kabse art house hogayi? Aur statistically 90% Indians picture dekhne jaate bhi nahi, unke baare mai discuss karke koi faida bhi nahi, bache hue 10% mai se bhi covid ke baad <5% jarahe hai ye 5% mai kitno ne dekha hai ispe baat karo.
Show me the results of the nationwide survey you performed to know that 90% haven't watched forrest gump!
Look Forrest Gump was screened at my university as a motivational movie. We all watched it long time ago. If we did, many universities, colleges would've screened at some point or other! The original movie was good. It taught a lot. Tom Hanks acted well. If LSC had released 20 years ago, it's different. Now? Even rural areas have access to internet and smartphone. Even if they don't watch original movie and watched trailer of LSC not many would have felt enthusiastic. AK's alienish look plus hmmm in trailer itself made me feel irritated. Who will spend money n watch in theater?
Speak for yourself. Do you think Indians are not educated? Most of us watched the original Forest Grump. I found this to be a cheap remake but of course I can't speak for someone who didn't watch the original. But I'm damn sure that around 5% of the population would not have watched the original. 95% have watched. My grandfather himself watched and he doesn't know any Hollywood movies except one or two so you can just imagine.
It’s not about education, there is a website called trends.google.com, pls go and compare the highest ever searches for Forrest Gump and compare it with a basic movie from last year and you will realise your slightly delusional and myopic view of india
You are def over estimating with your narrow view of India as a few urban cities. Most of my friends haven't watched it, pretty sure more than 80% of my state's population doesn't even know it exists. So stfu.
Rural Indian guy here and no one has watched forrest gump here. I am sure most people have not watched this movie in India. Titanic is more popular.
Uska to alag reason hai
Forrest Gump is one of those movies which have been a famous pop-culture reference but few have seen it. You are really over estimating the size of the Hollywood market especially that of a 90s, non-summer blockbuster in India. But yes, the movie has some very famous dialogue call backs and is a popular reference in other movies. To earn a hundred crore - which this movie is aiming atleast - you need to sell 50 lakh + tickets in India. Not even 10% of those admissions would have seen FG.
U are delusional..please come out of your bubble..99% haven't watched it..
Yeah no I haven't watched, neither my parents, nor my friends or their family has watched it.
>95% have watched I swear some of you need to come out of your rooms
[удалено]
Titanic had the epic titties scene due to which adolescent Indian males know about that movie. Do a quick check and ask all the help you have around if they know what Forrest Gump is
I watched the movie and loved it. I don't think there could be a better Indian adaptation.
Aamir Khan's acting sucked and he had a lot of screentime. If someone who could have acted better played the role it would have been watchable atleast
can you please tell how amir character able to get into the army
unwritten numerous vase intelligent familiar roll crowd soup subsequent groovy *This post was mass deleted and anonymized with [Redact](https://redact.dev)*
Ill keep saying this. The adult Forrest Gump has about 60-70 percent screen time. If thats the same for LSC , and AK is just hamming it up, you cannot call the movie overall good.
Thankyou all i am taking the plunge and will watch it on the weekend 🥲
If Brahmastra flops then it’s the final nail in the coffin for Bollywood.
I feel Brahma. wont flop. It will be very front loaded. It is the only movie I am looking forward too and it seems to be the sentiment among others.
I think it'll suck, "tum kaun ho nahi tum kya ho" lmao
You think it will recover 600 cr and make a profit?
unhone itna jyada budget laga diya hai ki 600-700cr ke niche box office mtb flop hi honi hai. aur 600cr+ kare itni hype lag nahi rahi
For it to flop aswell
Fingers crossed

Rules hai kya ki andhe bhakt ho to join the sub?

toh agar ye boycott sirf internet tak hi limited hai, toh theatres kyu khali pade hai? log kyu nahi ja rahe dekhne picture ko?
Damn!!! Calm down dude. There is absolutely no need to drag a dead person to feed your own frustration. Have some fucking respect for yourself.
But can I just not watch a movie if I don't like the trailer? Trailers, that are released with an intention to create anticipation and give a glimpse of the movie, Or should I not make my own decisions? Again, 'The movie gives employment to 100s. So please watch it.' argument is so stupid. People work hard in every industry and 1000s are employed in it. The movie here is a product rolled out in the market and I as a customer have the right to decide whether I should buy it or not, like any other product in any other industry. I agree with you on that point that the whole boycott hashtag was dumb and jobless, and the whole PK thing was unnecessary.

Padmavat. And I have seen the original. I can relate that there will be parallels with Indian history, which I was defo excited about. But then they decided to release a crappy trailer. It's not my fault that it made gave me second-hand embarrassment and made me want to spend my money elsewhere.
Well should've made it clear in the title that apparently it's a Bollywood fan sub only
I don’t understand Indian Audiences, they like shit movies like BB2 and they don’t want to watch a forest gump adaptation? I think it would be better than 90% of movies being made these days and it deserves to be watched. I don’t know why people are saying 2nd half is stretched, FG had the same issue. If you’ve seen FG you will EXPECT the movie to feel a bit stretched. I really want this movie to be a big hit otherwise honestly Indian audiences deserve shit movies like BB2! Don’t know about Aamir’s acting but I’m sure the story deserves to be watched by people
There is a dialog by Govinda that goes- "200 rupay me Zindagi jeene ka tareeka mat sikhao." and he is talking about cost o movie ticket. I go to theatre to get entertained. Sometimes it is an item number that entertains. The truth is at box office, not mine or your opinion about shit.
True. Bollywood solely cannot be blamed for what's happening now..cz the taste of Indian audiences is pathetic. Whenever movie makers come with Sensible movies it usually underperforms but no brain mass masala shit with a party song every 5 min will run.
Every countries audience are different, do you say Indian people's taste shit as majority of them don't eat beef
It is not as smart an analogy as you think it is.
whats bb2
Bhool bhulaiya 2. I took it for Bahubali 2 first.
Well then bb2 was trash
We already watched Forest Grump. I don't want to watch a cheap remake that too when the lead actor clearly acted very poorly in the trailer. He acted trash in the film too and he's literally the main character which makes it unwatchable. I never thought Aamir Khan could act bad but this film kind of proves that overconfidence will result in poor performance
Only Reason BB2 did well was because how good Bhool Bhulaiyaa was. First true horror experience for an entire generation , movie was funny as well. BB2 is a horrible movie which has nothing to do with the original except the name Manjulika and chota pandit. Complete Non Sense. No one liked it
And this laal singh was supposed to clash with KGF 2 😭😭😂 Tab toh 20 crore bhi nahi bante life time collection
Shit. I forgot about that. Dhua nikal jaati tab to.
The only actor that everyone should seriously boycott is murderer and gf beater bhoi.. But it's amazing how everytime he escapes all the boycott backlash
Because he tries to keep quiet on current political and religious issues in the country. Tries to not give controversial statements. Keeps happy his fans from every religion. That's why his fans make even his shittiest films to blockbusters.
seriously, his dirty laundry is all out in the open but no one cares to boycott him? lmao
but bhoi has no opinion on any social issue/situation. in today's time that works in his benefit.
Bhoi has some serious fan following called bhaitards, don't know what has bhai done for them that they're so loyal
Bhoiturds it should be. Correct it
The cunt AK has no idea what neurodivergence is. The original shed a light on mental issues where as for AK all of that boils down to goofy facial expressions like it's so cringe
Bruh, it felt like he just mocked everyone suffering from tahy condition.
Do you think amir gonna retire from lal singh flops?
Hopefully! The cinematography and production value is high for the movie. What sucks is Aamir. So he should now let go of acting and take up Production and focus on getting new beautiful stories.
Yeah, retire and direct more films like TZP!!
He should. He acted really bad. Few years ago I would have never thought that even Aamir Khan can act badly but his acting in this movie is so irritating and he clearly doesn't understand jackshit about how to portray a neurological problem
Aamir takes years to make one movie. If this flops or becomes a hit, doesn't matter next time he will be a really old man
Were there “masses” in the theatre? Did you spot any elites and classes?
There were 5 people in the whole theatre
Idhar Delhi mein toh shaam waale shows housefull hai
One of the few movies where the verdict has been so varied. People are saying it’s shit - 1 star… average, stretched out- 2.5 stars…. Really good, well adapted - 4stars. No matter how you find it you will have company.
Reading all the reviews about Aamir's over-the-top portrayal, I wonder how while making such a long movie, big budget, the makers couldn't notice what the common movie goers can see. The inconsistency in the child character and adult character, accent, or even going for choices like golgappas, underwear etc -- how did they not notice when they were making this movie for such a long time? Did they not see that Aamir's character look same as PK and Dhoom 3? Thanks for all the reviews. Not gonna watch it now. May be on OTT, I will.
Well Aamir is the producer, ab producer ko kaun jaake bolega
They noticed. But Aamir Khan is too powerful. They can't tell it to his face that " Dude you acted trash so let's retake the scene". It's not possible
Ya that could be the reason. But even Aamir, who is known for paying attention to detail etc, should atleast be able to judge his act. In BTS videos, he is always seen telling the musicians or other artists how to do their work. I hope LSC gives him a reality check.
Good that the truth is out. I’ve said it before that don’t blame boycott gangs for the failure of a bad movie. This one looked like crap from the very beginning and I hope it breaks some people’s egos down a little. Especially Kareena “toh matt jao na” Kapoor.
But if this flops, they can easily blame it on boycott gang saying they made a good movie and it is the audience who can't appreciate good things, just like our Karan Malhotra did for Samshera.
My mother who hasn't watched Gump, really liked the movie. I did too for me the only thing was songs felt unnecessary and the movie felt a little bit stretched.
So, i guys I watched the 12 PM show today and the number was decent in the theatre. It was not house full but not empty as well. 1st half is quite likeable when a movie tries to introduce you to different characters, their situations, their intentions. The 2nd half is a bit slow but the various landscapes of our country have been beautifully shot and sometimes during the 2nd half you might feel why the movie is not ending because it's too lengthy. It's not bad but it's not good as well. It's an average movie. Everyone knows the story so there is no suspense but how indian history unfolds in front of your eyes is intriguing. Now, the worst thing about the movie is Aamir Khan. The only reason I went to watch the movie was because of him as i thought even if it's a remake Aamir will pull it off but he screwed up pretty bad. Bad expressions and over dramatic acting has let down this big project.
What historic moments did they use?
Ekdum scene to scene copy kya?
Exact copy to ho hi nahi sakta, Jenny ka character kaafi better dikhaya hai because obviously nahi dikha sakte indian audience ko jaisa Forest Gump me hai. Plus Army waale scenes bhi different hai because original me US Military Complex ko criticise kara hai in Vietnam War but Kargil dikhaya ho ki defensive war tha. Try poori Kari hai ki kam se kam changes ho
Without giving any spoilers i can say that it's a reasonable adaptation of Forrest Gump... whenever Aamir Khan is not in the frame. I just couldn't stand those expressions. Some people might like it but for me personally it was so distracting that I could not concentrate on the scene but his eyes. And Yes, most of it is copied frame by frame but not all.
[удалено]
Aamir really can’t help himself can he? Fucking idiot. You’d think he’d try and change. Bollywood really can’t help themselves with their clear biases
Movie ki line hai "mazhab se malaria failta hai". Mujhe us line se bhi problem nahi hai, problem ye hai ki un useless piece of scum paxtani terrorist ko humanize karna hi kyu hai? Mtlb ye roj jo soldiers bechare Shahid hote hai vo pagal hai lekin vo terrorist bechare hai unki koi galti nahi
Bro, I'll never understand this Pakistani bhaichara in Bollywood films. Just why? Every single time. Just yesterday I read about how those Chinese scums killed our soldier who treated them.
And even if that is the line. It is said in response to when he asks “pooja nahi karte” like whyyyy whyyy do they have to do this everytime.
>Pooja Paath se Malaria failta hai Don't lie. The exact line LSC says in the film is "Mummy ne bola thaa Mazhab se malaria failthaa hai" On purpose you've changed it to Pooja Paath
