Starting your relationship off with an ultimatum 🚩🚩🚩

What do you mean you can’t go back in time then suddenly end up in a bookcase from a black hole to send messages to the past?

I find the end to really knock this down and leave me cold from all the warmup before, but also maybe I’m just on a trip with people who are too ionate about a movie that seems to hinge on a massive plot contrivance and jump in logic

Bhansali must be on crack if he expects us to be okay with the fact that Vanraj says the thing he hates most is lying then the second half of the movie tries to convince us that Hungary is Italy... also everything in Europe is genuinely the cringiest stuff I’ve ever seen. Also how did Salman Khan ever become famous he’s a truly terrible actor in this. Also….

(2 stars for banger soundtrack, cinematography, and decent performances from Rai and Devgn)

An interesting idea that falls flat on execution. Though certain moments are effective (SRK’s scenes towards the end, even the early scene with Rani Mukherjee are interesting). Hassan creates a film with superfluous narrative, odd character turns, and confusing tonal shifts (i.e. feeling up a large gun); providing an ineffective meditation on obsession and nationalism. Hey Ram believes it is creating a link between post-partition Indian violence and current South Asian geopolitics, but ends up creating a one-dimensional portrayal of certain groups and a protagonist so up his own ass you couldn’t care less what happens to him.
