New Delhi:
Interesting, engaging, beautiful and intriguing is Salman Khan's latest film Bajrangi Bhaijaan.
It is a lovely dish made with spices picked from heart and delivered with ease. Kabir Khan, who had presented an action blockbuster 'Ek Tha Tiger' with Salman, has come up with something totally opposite yet equally fascinating.
Also a path breaker for Mr Bhaijaan! So far, Salman has been loved more for his style and less for his substantial films. This time things get tossed as he delivers a drama that contains no violence, no thundering lines to startle but extreme love.
Moreover, there is not a single scene in the movie where Salman Khan goes shirtless.
Despite of some action (say 2-3 punches) Mr Bajrangi tries to stay calm and not get involved in any kind of violence. He is a hard core ‘Bajrangbali bhakt’ and never speaks lies.
The film may disappoint Salman Khan’s hard core action fans but there is nothing to worry as he is only going to add up the number with his transformed image.
In an interview with News Nation, Kareena had said that Bajrangi Bhaijaan is the film Salman needed to break the monotony he created in last decade. I totally agree with her. This is the new, reinvented Salman Khan.
Bajrangi Bhaijaan is an emotional tale of a Pakistani girl, who visits India with her mother on Samjhauta Express trip but accidently gets stuck on Indian soil with no voice.
She then falls into the safest hands of no-nonsense Hanuman Bhakt Pawan Kumar, who is nicknamed as Bajrangi. What comes next is Pawan’s quest to safely land Munni, name given by him, in her home.
Bajrangi fights many wars as he tries to surpass Indo-Pak equations before he accomplishes his risky mission.
In the course he finds support from his soulmate Rashika (character played by Kareena Kapoor) and a Pakistani journalist Chand Nawab (character played by Nawazuddin Siddiqui). The bits and parts of this journey are enjoyable, rest stays adorable with cute little Munni.
There are some exaggerated facts like getting permission to cross the border from the soilder guarding it, people getting too sweet to help the man in pain. But, if you keep your analyst calm and ignore the core reality, Salman will simply win your heart.
Music on the other hand stays ordinary but gels with the flow of the film.
Final Verdict: Bajrangi Bhaijaan is all-in-all Salman Khan’s ride driven by Harshali Malhotra, supported by Nawazuddin Siddiqui and Kareena Kapoor. It is one of those movies which can be watched with full ‘KHANdan’.
