Dilwaale Review: Expect nothing but the expected

You guys were probably waiting for this. Shall not disappoint. 

This is why you don't see movies with ANY expectations these days. 

1) There are toy cars, there are those cars in real life. And then there is a Rohit Shetty picture. Shetty-Shetty bang bang. So much so, that more than half of the movie is shot in a garage. 

2) There are side actors, there are actors too happy to be in a movie. And then you have Kirti Sanon and Varun Dhawan. 

3) There is hamming, there are dialogues that you've heard before. And then, yet again, there is Shahrukh Khan (Khan from the epiglottis) playing Shahrukh Khan in yet another movie. Seen one, seen all. 

4) There are lights, there are lights that get old. And then, there are Diwali lights that are ONLY taken out on, yes you guessed it, Diwali. Rest of the 364 days, bandh pada rehta hai loft ke unreachable corner mein. And then you have Kajol who looks good only during Diwali. The rest of the time, Knorr soup brand ambassador. Boo-fucking-yeah. 

5) Dilwaale taught me that being unmarried after falling in love has worked not once, not twice but three fucking times for Shahrukh. I mean he got lucky in Kuch Kuch Hota Hai (shooting stars). Veer Zara was an absolute fluke. 22 years and still get the girl. He waits like what 15 years in this movie and still gets the chic. How many times can lightning strike? 

Here's the best part, what's his name, what's his name, what's his name?

RAJ

Take everything back. Point 5 is invalid in today's cinema, only if you're Rahul or Raj. 

6) Dilwaale and story. Here's where it gets interesting. Like you just have to leave your brains at home and accept whatever is being given to you. People can survive bullet shots multiple number of times, people can meet after 15 years. You shot me in the chest but I'll repair your broken car and dance with you in the rain. And yes, I can walk on water too. That too Iceland ka paani. Swag

Why? My name is Raj. 

Is Filmfare or Stardust hiring?
