Directed by’Rohit Shetty & Team’ - yes, that’s how the credit titles read - Dilwale borrows the first word from the title of Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol’s most well known movie and turns the pair’s aura into one big farce fest with the humour touching rock-bottom.And the romance just a little above.
Sample this for starters: Varun Dhawan who plays Mr Khan’s kid-brother( no kidding) enters what looks like a pawn shop with enough on sale to fill up a mall, picks up two wrist watches and informs Johnny Lever( playing a South Indian with an accent no South Indian would be caught dead with) that he would like to tie two wrist watches on the hands of his friend/sidekick Varun Sharma( a questions how did’Shetty & Team’ tell the two Varuns apart on the sets?).
Why? Kyonki tab ussey pataa chalega ki woh do ghadi ka mehmaan hai”.
Ha ha.
