Watching a movie 3 weeks into its release- its indeed a challenge not be judgemental. But, should admit was quite successful in this. Getting on the movie- first on- its not at all a 'bad', 'pathetic', 'bore' movie as how the critics have panned out. Needless to say- we have been subjected to lot worse movies. In a nut shell- its a decent earnest movie- which knew what it was doing and to whom it was being made. If this seems to be a problem- the critics must take a hike. There are several positives in this movie- the production value of the movie is top-class & technically, a brilliant hindi movie- each shot / colors/ locales have been digitally enhanced- (deja-vu Life of Pi, Potter series). In terms of visual pleasure- certainly one of the firsts for Bollywood. There are couple of scenes where the colors are too blinding but they are few and far. Then, is the 'story telling'- Narrative and alike a lot of hollywood movies- the movie is a series of well-scripted 8-12 minute plots- each unique- like humorous song narratives, Dipika's Midnight avatar etc etc. It is in this segment that I dont feel its as bad as what the critics have portrayed. Then, its SRK SRK SRK all the way- midway through i was tempted to count the number of frames without SRK. Its SRK a movie and that too - surprise surprise- no overacting - except for one scene in the climax. I must agree that he has a done a great job. Dipika too adds on and compliments SRK and poses no threat to him, as who owns the movie. Besides, these Yes- there are cliches, predictability, bloopers, 'nothing new', 'cartoonisation' etc etc- but as i said- when you know the intent of the movie- there is no point reviewing it otherwise. Out- on Out full paisa vasool movie, and do not regret watching it. Rohit shetty and team deserve the kudos.
