Dilwale Movie Review
The comeback of SRK and Kajol after 'Kabhi Kushi Kabhi Gham' is the only factor that shook entire nation of film lovers and make them wait for this film. The other considerable factor is the name of its director Rohit Shetty who delivered Chennai Express, a blockbuster in recent times. Theatres were jammed with the traffic of audience and full houses were recorded across the nation.
In fact, Rohit Shetty is branded for making pulp fictions, lifting the masala formulas from South and serving rest of the nation with his toppings. But this 'Dilwale' proves to be an insipid dish with no adrenaline boost anywhere. Many exclaim that every scene is predictable for any experienced film viewer.

What is it about?
The film starts with Kali (SRK), the owner of a car mechanic shop in Goa. His brother Veer (Varun Dhawan) falls in love with a girl (Kriti Sanon). Veer gets into tiff with some drug peddlers and eats bruises. Kali, who appears to be a cool peaceful man until then, goes with two of his aides and batters all the goons blue and black as an answer for hurting his brother. Who is Kali actually? His past opens with a flash back in Bulgaria. He is the son of a Indian Don (Vinod Khanna) settled there. He falls in love with a girl Meera (Kajol) there but receives a shock from her. He returns to India and runs a mechanic shop. What happens to his love with Meera and how his brother's love is connected to it falls rest of the story.
Technicalities:
Yes, it appears to be inspired from many South Indian masala films but the masala here is not spicier enough to relish. No emotion to hook the audience and no proper episode that raptures but ended up with ruptures. Sanjay Mishra's poetic dialogues are a bit interesting and Boman Irani's characterization on the lines of yesteryears' Ajith famous with his dialogue. "Mona Darling.." didn't work well.
Background score is also nothing to offer much and a couple of songs including the one in rolling titles are interesting.
Performances:
SRK is at his best as usual and even at fifty he bestowed a hefty delight for all his admirers with his agility. Kajol is as cool as earlier and emanated the fragrance of beauty and magnetism. Kriti Sanon is lucky enough to be in this. Varun Dhawan is ok. Sanjya Mishra pulled attention with his dialogues and Boman with his get up. Johnny Lever is wasted.

Analysis:
This film had gushing openings because of star cast and expectations and appeals only for hardcore SRK fans. Beyond first day audience it is illogical if it entertains the rest. But owing to the power of SRK-Kajol, family audience do make an attempt for sure. It may become a superhit of the year with external factors but it cannot be revered as an engaging film.
Verdict: Dull Wale
