The director’s ability to create drama in large, inimical vistas is much higher than in homelier arenas, so the first half passes by with some amount of slackness, in which the will-speak-the-truth-at-any-cost character of Bajrangi Bhaijaan is created. It also serves as an introductory passage for his love-interest Raskia(Kareena Kapoor, making a strictly-by-the-numbers near-cameo appearance). The real film only starts post-interval, when the action shifts to Pakistan, with our trio on the run, with some fun-and-frolic, a quwaali-in-a-dargah, and a picturesque if rousingly unreal climax.
