This Rohit Shetty directorial has been making news from day one, from casting Shahrukh Khan as main lead, to bringing back SRK-Kajol together after a huge gap of 5 years and finally its' big clash with Bajirao Mastani.

The last time Shahrukh Khan and Sanjay Leela Bhansali had a Box Office clash with Om Shanti Om and Saawariya, the former won fair and square with a much better movie that entertained the viewers and marked the debut of beauty, Deepika Padukone.

SPECIAL SCREENING PICS OF DILWALE MOVIE
A whole lot of romance, gerua (colour me in the colour of love), flowers, candle light dinners and all possible cliched love scenes take place but the fact that it is Shahrukh Khan and Kajol enacting them, somehow makes these scenes very intense and engaging.

Presently, the brothers run a rather successful car modifying garage and all is going well till he falls for the pretty damsel Ishita (Kriti Sanon) who by fate happens to be Meera's younger sister.

The 15 years of flashback are shown in parts as and when Raj remembers his past and his one true love! How will Veer and Ishita make their relationship work? Will Raj and Meera bury the hatchet? What exactly happened between Raj and Meera that has made the latter hate him? To get your answers, you ought to watch the movie.

Dilwale Movie Review By Audience Response: Live Update <br>Dilwale Movie Review By Audience Response: Live Update

Like expected, Shahrukh-Kajol's chemistry is simply breathtaking and one of the most engaging element of the movie. Without them, Dilwale would not have been a great movie! Varun and Kriti's chemistry is cute but it doesn't come up to the level of the big experts of romance.

Kajol has never looked better and she can easily give the youngsters a run for their money. Varun's comic timing is pretty good and Kriti has managed to get noticed in this ensemble cast movie, which is commendable.

Comic actors like Johnny Lever, Varun Sharma, Boman Irani, Sanjay Mishra etc deserve major applause for they make you laugh, you may not be rolling on the floor laughing but the jokes are super funny. These actors were really pivotal to Dilwale for every time there is a dip in the movie, these guys bring it back up with their brilliant performance.

Rohit Shetty, for his level and type of direction has given a rather entertaining, paisa vasool kind of movie with cinematographer Dudley stealing the show with his picturesque frames.

As entertaining as this movie is, there are a few negative aspects!

  • Some tiny flaws in story which make no sense but its Bollywood!
  • Over the board intense scenes between SRK-Kajol when he confronts her during the end of the movie.
  • Slightly dragged climax scenes.
  • Predictable story
  • Old wine in new bottle! A known story revamped with SRK-Kajol!
  • Not that great comedy which would make your stomach hurt!

As much as there are flaws, Dilwale keeps you engaged all 3 hours!

Verdict:

Dilwale is great one time watch! A paisa vasool entertainer that witnessed whistles in the theater throughout! Viewers were seen clapping when the movie ended which shows that Dilwale may not be an iconic classic like Bajirao Mastani but SRK and cast will entertain you, especially if you are a Shahrukh Khan fan!
