Everytime you ask yourself.. can he really do it again? Yes, Chak De was about hockey. Swades was beautiful. OSO was a completely different take on love and action. Ra.One was all SFX. Rab Ne, of course! And then came JTHJ. But how different could another love story be?
But SRK does it yet again. With the explosive Rohit Shetty and Deepika Padukone on the team, this express just hurtles through laughs, thrills and tears, the 2 hours whiz by in a flash, and when Lungi Dance lights up the screen with the end credits, you can only take a bow to the Badshah. He'e done it again!
SRK and Deepika put in blazing performances. SRK's sense of humor, his antics and dialogues will keep you in splits from the word Po. Go, I mean! His emotional scenes are also spot on, touching your heart in ways only he can. Deepika looks so beautiful, especially in the song sequences. Her dialogue delivery, a mix of Hindi and Tamil, with that accent, is absolutely the highlight of the movie. And don't miss the chudail scene - just hilarious. And the way she speaks with her expressions... mind-blowing!
Rohit Shetty's direction also blows you away. The camera work is just brilliant - the world never looked so beautiful! Amazing camera angles and light filters create magic in every scene. Notice the shots of the train through the tunnels... stunning! And while there are exploding cars and flying bikes, the hand to hand action is very subdued, and as real as you can reasonably expect from the magician who defies every law of physics!
The songs are just beautiful, woven nicely into the story, and they just freaking grow on you. My personal fav is Kashmir Mai, Tu Kanyakumari. Titli is another beautiful number, and shot even more so. 1 2 3 4 and Lungi Dance will rock in clubs and parties for many many months to come.
The most amazing part of the movie - the dialogues. With a profusion of Tamil (and no subtitles!), it is an amazing gamble that so pays off! As SRK says, love really is a universal language, and needs no further explanations! There are so many lovely references to his old movies, to Singham... the jokes are original, and intelligent. The parodies in the train, and then in the second half - again, a masterstroke of entertainment that will keep the smile on your face for a very long time indeed!
Here's a total entertainer - total paisa vasool! What a wonderful way to celebrate Eid!
