Every Indian deserves to be forced and fleeced into watching this movie, especially if one came in looking for an entertainer. Far from eye candy stuff, it’s more of a wake up call; at least for NRIs- to whom it looked targeted at, if not for the groaning and snoring lot I was packed with in the hall. Our main man looks exhausted, probably since he has other movies to handle.
Compared to the dedicated energy of Amir Khan in the one movie he works in in a year, Shah Rukh looks fed up and tired of the boat ride, the hills and the village in general. The way I look at it, Govarikar has leveraged his earlier win to get NASA’s (United States) support to make us all endure this preaching session. It was still closer to reality though, looking like a documentary at places. 3 songs in this one I liked, typical dreamy stuff by the maverick. Yuhi chala chal, yeh tara woho tara and Yeh jo des hai tera.
