It wasn't a great film to be honest. I could see the attempts to whitewash Dhoni. So many of his controversies have been deliberately left out.

The background music was soulful. I'm a sucker for cricket so loved the cricketing shots as well. 😳

My rating- 4/5 ⭐️

woah woah, what an intelligent movie. The first 10-15 minutes, I was little bored, but once the conversation start, my eyes only open wide. It explores religion, science, beliefs, personal relationships, love, human nature.

It's almost like it's happening naturally - the way dialogues are spoken, the content in them, the acting - their body language.. as if they aren't acting. And the way the story ends was very nice too.

All in all, it has everything, this movie - intelligent dialogues or atleast thought provoking ones with some conflicting views that are put forth by different characters, brilliant acting/directing, a satisfying love story. Just loved it.

Finally i have watched the film, thanks to star plus for premiering it.

I had very very low expectations from the film knowing how the film has performed in the Box office, but at the end i think i enjoyed watching the film. It was a fictional film, nothing great in terms of history but it had the warmth and feel of a different era, the costumes and sets were very good, they looked authentic.

The plot was very simple, but still gripping, did not feel bored, as there were lot of good action sequences and in between those some subtle romance between Hrithik and Pooja lifted up the overall appeal of the film. I loved the climax and the execution was brilliant too. The first half was breezy, and the song Tu Hai is just beautiful, it grows on you.

Performance wise, Hrithik was ofcourse a delight, he carried the film which was all about him and his hard work for two years showed onscreen too. Some sequences does remind you of Jodha Akbar, but Sarman is still one of those characters which was tailor made for him. He makes everything look so easy and effortless. Pooja was decent too, did not find her terrible as per majority of the people in here, she did not have a meaty enough of a role and whatever she had, she was good. She and Hrithik also had a comfortable and good chemistry, nothing looked forced or dented in their pairing.

Overall the film was not half as bad as this section and media made it out, yes it has flopped but may avoiding the clash or support from peers and media could result into a better fate for the film which it deserved.

Rating- 3/5 .. If you love Hrithik and if you want to relax for 2.5 hours then this film is an entertainer. Ohh yes, the background score is good too, Rahman does not fail here.

😳😳

Such an awesome, awesome show! My mind is blown. I'm still trying to get over the show. I haven't liked a show as much since Breaking Bad. The actors, plot, direction, writing..EVERYTHING is sheer class. Hope this gets Riz Ahmed more attention.
