Dilwale is one of those terrible mistakes that superstars like Shah Rukh and Rohit Shetty make in the mistaken belief that they can get away with anything in the name of entertainment. For the first 20 minutes of the film’s playing time, nothing happens. Except that we get to know Shah Rukh’s character( named Raj in some parts, Kali in others, just for the record) has a terrible past and the he dotes on his kid brother.
Just when you begin to wonder if the rest of the script got lost in transit while the team whooped it up in Bulgaria in walks Ms Sunshine Kajol bringing some hope to the rapidly-sagging comedy. Kajol is the film’s only hope of salvation. Alas, even she can only drag the carcass of this intended comedy this far and no further.
The action( in the flashbacks) jostles with the comedy in the hall of shame.The cars blowing up the guns going rat-a-tat are all stuff we’ve seen in Rohit Shetty’s earlier films.
So what’s new!
