Gone are the days when local goons bullied Indians in central Europe. We now have our own mafia bosses in that part of the world. If Akshay Kumar cut them to size inside Romania in Singh Is Bliing, Shah Rukh Khan riddled them with a million more bullets than Kumar in Bulgaria. And yes, Khan has definitely blown more cars than his counterpart. Take that, Europeans! But, Dilwale is still a love story, a violent one though, for the audience.
Veer ( Varun Dhawan) is a sweet-natured flirt who lives with his saintly brother Raj ( Naam toh suna hi hoga, sigh, Shah Rukh Khan) in Goa. He meets and falls for Ishita ( Kriti Sanon) and expectedly gets assistance from Raj in his pursuit. Meanwhile, Veer invites the animosity of a trying-very-hard-to-be-funny don King ( Boman Irani) , the latest version of Vasooli Bhai from the Golmaal franchise. That instigates something very violent in Raj which in turn makes everybody believe that he has a mysterious past. However, every single character in the film knows it already, except his little bro and some ill-fated extras.
