There is a positivity brigade upbeat in todays world asking one to live one's dreams and that fear of failure is root cause of all people living miserably and stifling innovation.
There is that famous question " What would you do if you couldn't fail? "
And you would think people would change the world and it will all be creative ,wonderful innovative work and what not.
Well if there is a perfect counter to this its Bollywood esp the directors
making the films of the Khans.Look they know they wont fail.
Despite whatever crap they churn out they will get a great opening and money is pretty much recovered. And yet it is this guaranteed success that serves up the lowest variety of even the formulaic stuff.
Dilwale is actually a perfect film made with everything except 'Dil'.
Its not like I went in with great expectation.
After over a year I went to a theater since I luckily managed to get tickets
and well growing up with Shahrukh and Kajol movies, that nostalgic feeling made me hope ok may be its about seeing some nonsense movie just to see them together onscreen.
But just because you couldn't fail is this the crap you get served up.
Yeah some people like that too really I found as I observed in the Theater.
Even Johnny lever I felt like was disinterestedly overacting .
As for Shahrukh snip off the scenes with kajol , all other shots he seemed
to be like – ok yeah what's the line – haan been there done that.
There is no limit to exploiting formula and chemistry of the lead actors.
Such lazy movie making…
Its been done by all Aaditya chopra, Sooraj barjatya and all but its like with every movie and 100 more crores they become more disinterested in the Dil part of moviemaking.
May be me and some of the old 90's generation are out of touch but honestly – after Sholay and DDLJ which dialogues have been reused like this in movies.
Our Creative young generation cannot even write some original dialogues
that can be recalled for few days. oh I forgot there are joke tracks ..
I know this is a pointless rant but even when you set the bar low…it seems things just seem to slip low.
The positive here-
- well with such nonsense also its clear none of new brigade have onscreen chemistry to match this 90's lead pair.
- And well I wrote a post – the movie made me feel so irritated for such a nice cast wasted !!
