User Reviews
A Winner All The Way!
Kabir Khan triumphs
with a yet another winner with 'Bajrangi Bhaijaan'. Khan delivers a film
thats heartwarming, emotional & extremely entertaining. And Salman
is exceptional, delivering his finest performance to date in the title
role.
'Bajrangi Bhaijaan' Synopsis: A young mute girl from
Pakistan loses herself in India with no way to head back. A devoted man
with a magnanimous spirit undertakes the task to get her back to her
motherland and unite her with her family.
'Bajrangi Bhaijaan' is a
heartwarming tale about love & unity. Though a subtle
father-daughter story at heart, the film is also an effective commentary
on the India-Pakistan conflict/relationship, that exists even today.
The narrative beautifully makes space for humour, strong emotions &
also poignant drama.
While the first-hour, set in India warms
up, with defining its characters & shifting between songs, its the
second-hour that takes 'Bajrangi Bhaijaan' to the epitome. The story
shifts to Pakistan & the series of events that follow with its
endearing protagonist & the child, are undeniably engaging &
moving. And the climax, though slightly melodramatic, that too leaves an
impact.
Khan, V. Vijayendra Prasad, Parveez Shaikh & Asad
Hussai's Screenplay is excellent. It very believably blends many
emotions & also courageously comments on the long-lasting topic of
India-Pakistan. But its done effectively. Barring the slightly
under-whelming climax, the Writing is consistently engaging otherwise.
Khan's Direction is top-notch. He has handled the film with skill. Aseem
Mishra's Cinematography captures the Stunning Locales of Kashmir,
superbly. Editing is mostly crisp, although the film runs for over a
155-minutes. Music by Various Artists is lovely. Art & Costume
Design are satisfactory.
Performance-Wise: Salman is at his best
here. As Pawan Kumar Chaturvedi aka Bajrangi Bhaijaan, the Superstar
enacts the god-loving, clean-hearted soul, with excellence. He's
restrained, affecting & absolutely lovable, proving once again that
he's much more than a box-offer thunder. He's the soul of 'Bajrangi
Bhaijaan'. Child Artiste Harshaali Malhotra is adorable. Her on-screen
chemistry with Salman, melts your heart. Kareena Kapoor Khan is charming
in a brief, yet substantial role. Nawazuddin Siddiqui is top-notch, yet
again! He brings the house down with his brilliant comic-timing &
walks away with some of the film's best moments, as well. Om Puri shines
in a cameo. Sharat Saxena is good. Others lend fair support.
On
the whole, 'Bajrangi Bhaijaan' has its heart & soul at the right
place. It wins you over completely, with its heart touching story.
Strongly Recommended!
