Dilwale (2015)


First things first: Kajol. Kajol Kajol Kajol Kajol. In case anyone was not aware that she’s the most beautiful woman on the planet, she is, in fact, the most beautiful woman on the planet. DO MORE MOVIES KAJOL I HEART YOU. Seriously, go watch Mehndi Laga Ke and then Gerua and tell me she has aged a single day. (And then try to work out that sympathetic crick in your neck after watching her do all those backbends.)


Second: This movie was not as good as I wished it could have been, but it was better than I was expecting. We are all here for the SRK-Kajol jodi anyway, right? And on that front, it delivers. It delivers the same thing we’ve seen a billion times before, but when we’re depending on Rohit Shetty for the delivery, he does well to avoid too much innovation.

Third: The promo picture is inaccurate. There are no gigantic wrenches in the movie. All wrenches are normal-sized.
