It was evident from the promos that the film has romance, comedy, action and emotion.. but by the time the closing credits roll, Dilwale ends up offering a lot more than it promised. It’s not only an entertaining film, but a celebration of Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol. For fans who love the on-screen jodi, it simply cannot get better than Dilwale. The chemistry that they share in Dilwale is their best since Karan Johar’s Kuch Kuch Hota Hai. Dilwale Review by Taran Adarsh on Bollywood Hungama Rating: Come to think of it, DILWALE is similar to CHENNAI EXPRESS in several ways. Rohit Shetty focuses on the love story yet again, while the light moments, high-octane drama and aimed-at-masses dialogue — the staple ingredients or fodder that contribute to a masalathon — adorn the goings-on wonderfully. At heart, and true to its title, DILWALE remains a love story, not an assemblage of sequences to win and woo the spectators. Last word? DILWALE delivers what it promises: Entertainment in enormous doses. Rohit Shetty’s latest creation speaks the language that the masses comprehend. It’s one formula that can never go out of fashion, if handled smartly. And, don’t we know by now, how proficient Rohit Shetty is when it comes to delivering a full-on entertainer in his unmistakable style. Dilwale Review by Arnab Mukherjee on Masala Rating: If entertainment is why you go to the theatres, then Dilwale will not disappoint you. The ending, however, is likely to receive applause only from the die-hard SRK fans. In all, it is a great family film with a comical spin on the timeless, Romeo-Julietesque love stories. Watch Dilwale, you won’t regret! Dilwale Review by Manjusha Radhakrishnan on Gulfnews Rating: These kids are on call to look cute and lovable, and Dhawan does a good job of being Mr adorable, while Sanon is prettiness personified. Dhawan’s comic timing isn’t shabby either. However, the jokes don’t flow easy like Shetty’s previous works such as Bol Bachchan and Chennai Express. Dilwale is more drama than comedy. However, the director has remained faithful to his love of car chases, vehicle explosions and car swivels. For every romantic song shot in picturesque locales, there was a car explosion that blew your mind away. Watch this only if you have a thing for watching Kajol and Khan on the silver screen. Dilwale Review by Jaidev Hemmady on Movietalkies Rating: Shetty has slyly borrowed from films like Hum and Chalti Ka Naam Gaadi and we would have overlooked the fact, had he put in some efforts to make it entertaining enough. The way too many clichés and the coincidences in the plot make us feel that Shetty got too lazy to try his best with this film. The humour is decent enough (with Sanjay Mishra getting some of the best lines) and the action is impressive, but what Dilwale lacks is a soul. Review by Tushar P Joshi on Bollywood Life Rating: Rohit Shetty raises the roof with the production values. Dilwale is a good looking film. Despite the pre conceived notion that comes attached with his films, Rohit manages to create characters that retain your interest. The film works because of Shah Rukh Khan and his never ageing charm. Taking full advantage the two diverse time periods and characters, he goes for the kill. Between the two, it’s his portrayal of the subdued and understated Raj that stays with you. He not only looks like a million bucks with that beard and scruff but also flexes some serious muscle in a scene. Kajol steals the show in a very important scene in the first half that exposes her real intent. That fire in her eyes and that laugh we have come to love is back. Doesn’t make sense in talking about her chemistry with SRK cause that has withstood the test of time. Varun Dhawan’s comic timing is impeccable. He gets to showcase his funny side ample time in Dilwale and his co-star Kriti Sanon compliments him through the film. Geri and Manma Emotion look stunning on the big screen. Review by Shubha Shetty-Saha on Mid-Day India Rating: Kajol, as expected, is excellent in emotional parts but her chirpiness when playing the younger self borders on being annoying. Shah Rukh Khan is fabulous as the earnest lover boy and as the older and mellower man 15 years later. His eyes belie many emotions as he plays the angst-ridden lover waiting to clear the misunderstanding with the woman he loves, to perfection and to the gallery. Varun Dhawan is endearing and sincere as ever. Kriti gives good support. But then the younger couple, or for that matter everything else, fades into the background when SRK and Kajol look into each other’s eyes. Even if you are not a Rohit Shetty fan, watch this for the chemistry between SRK and Kajol which refuses to simmer down even after all these years. Review by Raja Sen on Rediff Rating: Hamming, of course, is the sensible option in a film this badly written. No actor in the world could have lifted this material, and Khan cleverly chooses to play his part — lips q-q-q-quivering, eyes ‘intense’ — with such showiness that it looks like he’s in on the joke. Thank God. Kajol is more earnest, and both actors occasionally conjure up some fire when their eyes lock or when their grins match, but there is too little of this amid the increasingly loud tomfoolery. It is this tomfoolery, to be fair, that somewhat makes the second half bearable — in relative terms, I must stress, but there is only so much Sanjay Mishra is allowed to do in a film of this sort. Review by Sushmita Murthy on Deccan Chronicle Rating: The thing about Dilwale is that it over promises and under delivers. In a bid to chase the Bollywood success formula of a masala flick, which Rohit Shetty undisputedly has cracked over the years, this film tried to pack too many punches in one. As a result, none are strong enough. Review by Sonia Chopra on Sify Rating: This is one of those films where the central draw is the lead pair. In short, the hollowness of the film is to be compensated by the sheer prowess of the stars, and the film piggy-banks on them. Review by Meena Iyer on The Times Of India Rating: Rohit Shetty’s films are big-ticket adventures; a genre unto themselves. Low on content — plot lines borrowed (in this case Hum and Kasme Vaade), incohesive screenplay and lowbrow dialogues (Sajid-Farhad) — the film leans heavily on Shah Rukh’s mega-stardom, Varun’s effervescence, breathtaking locales (Iceland and Bulgaria), orchestrated car chases and over-the-top situations, which have you chuckling. Review by Shubhra Gupta on Indian Express Rating: This time around Shah Rukh shares space with Varun Dhawan who, in turn has a romantic track with Kriti Sanon, and a bumbling best friend track with Varun Sharma: SRK’s track with old flame Kajol, which is meant to be the film’s mainstay, keeps coming and going. And the other bit parts come and go, too, pretty much on a whim. It’s almost as if someone says, now let’s bung in a comic track, and out tumble Johnny Lever as a car thief, and Sanjay Misra as a pony-tailed receiver of stolen cars, and Boman Irani as a pink-jacketed mobster with a love of vintage cars. Review by Saibal Chatterjee on NDTVMovies Rating: While the first is action-packed and expectedly allows director Rohit Shetty to pull off a couple of exciting chase sequences, the second is a pedestrian mish-mash of multiple and incompatible elements. Review by Ananya Bhattacharya on India Today Rating: Dilwale is immensely enjoyable despite an oh-my-god-this-is-so-predictable story. Keep your brains out of the picture, and you have an out-and-out entertainer. Dilwale fits perfectly in the mould of a guilty pleasure. Go indulge! Review by Sarita A Tanwar on DNA India Rating: Dilwale is a love story that relies heavily on the chemistry between Kajol and Shah Rukh and that works. They still have the magic and you can’t help but sway to the music that plays in the background every time they cross paths. Shah Rukh Khan plays the adopted older brother rather well. Remember Kabhie Khushi Kabhie Gham with Hrithik? In Dilwale too the scenes between him and Varun bring warmth to the heart and smile on the lips. Whether he is romancing Meera, playing the big brother or bashing skulls as Kali, it all comes to easily to SRK. The film works because of him and Kajol, who delivers an utterly moving and believable performance whether she is spewing fire or ice from her eyes. The films has many funny moments (when Vir confessed his love story to Raj) but there aren’t as many as in Rohit’s Golmaals and All The Best. The funniest scene of the film comes from Pankaj Tripathi and Mukesh Tiwari when they reveal the Raj’s past to Vir and Ishita. The action scenes are very well shot, no one does that better than Rohit. Kriti Sanon looks pretty and does her best with the role she has. Review by Ritika Handoo on Zeenews Rating: Rohit Shetty is known for his brand of cinema—where stars meet amidst colourful modified cars and they do the talking. Here, in ‘Dilwale’ when you have superstar Shah Rukh Khan and the beautiful Kajol with you—even Rohit’s cars are actually used as just ‘cars’ (hope you get what I mean)! Review by Rohit Vats on Hindustan Times Rating: All the typical Shetty characters assemble very early in the film and their confidence suggests that they have already assumed Dilwale a box office winner, which it could be. But then, emotional scenes start to fall flat and the story begins to lose track. Am I suggesting Golmaal and Chennai Express had good stories? Review by Martin D’Souza on Glamsham Rating: The character of Raj offers no challenge to Shah Rukh Khan. This is a role he has done umpteen times in his career. He needs to do justice to his talent immersing himself in roles that challenge him. Ditto Kajol. Though, I must say that it is good to see her on screen. That leaves us with Varun Dhawan and Kriti Sanon two actual beneficiaries of the film. Varun can do no wrong. Give him even a half-baked role and he will sincerely pull out his best act. This is his talent. Kriti keeps her own, walking tall (pun intended) in every scene. There was not much she could do, but like Varun, she immerses herself into every scene to give it her best shot. Dilwale Review by Indiaglitz Rating: Shah Rukh Khan is capable of portraying any given part well and same goes the case with this. The actor is promising in his role and wonderful in action scenes. Also the emotional scene with Varun Dhawan is top-notch. Kajol is looking exceptionally beautiful and plays her part with confidence. Varun Dhawan overplays a few times, but is otherwise fun to watch. Kriti Sanon is pretty and throws a fine performance. Johnny Lever, Sanjay Mishra and Mukesh Tiwari are hilarious. Boman Irani too is amazing in his part and gives good support to the film. The abrupt flashbacks and the weird editing, makes the movie score less marks in the technical department. Also the screenplay, which is quite predictable, is unnecessarily stretched. On a whole, ‘Dilwale’ is just another masala entertainer, which only expects you to enjoy and not think much. Giving it a shot wouldn’t harm anyone. Review by meeta on Wogma Rating: In more than one way, the story comes a full circle from where things started in 1995 with Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge, it does a double take too. Certainly, Dilwale has a lot more story than you’d expect in a Rohit Shetty film. Doesn’t mean the details are any less predictable. Oh, I am exaggerating, the unpredictability lies in the fact that when you expect a song a fight sequence is thrown in. Also, having a story doesn’t mean it isn’t ridiculous either. It is and it makes you roll your eyes over and over. And when the story doesn’t do that it is taken over by most of the dialogue. That or you snort or snore. The only relief then comes from a few lines that make you laugh. A few of those are just at the plain silliness of it all, a few because of the way Johnny Lever delivers them and a couple from Varun Dhawan’s dialogue delivery. Review by Rajeev Masand on IBNLive Rating: The real problem with Dilwale is the sheer artificiality of the enterprise. From the rainbow-hued sets and the touched-up landscapes in the Gerua song, to many moments of comedic and emotional payoff, so much of it just feels fake. Doesn’t help either that the film clocks in at a butt-numbing 155 minutes. I got up to leave at three different points that I imagined were the climax, only to discover that there was still more to come. Never a good sign when you’re looking at your watch instead of the screen. Review by Kunal Guha on Mumbai Mirror Rating: Given the frenzy and fandom that SRK and Kajol bring to the table, the job cut out for the rest of the unit becomes a supporting one. SRK spreads his arms wide and Kajol’s eyes acquire a mischievous glint as she heads for a warm embrace and the world doesn’t seem like a bad place to exist in. But to take them for granted and expect that their mere presence would negate the need for a story, screenplay or any other element that makes a film, scripts Dilwale’s doom. Review by Shishir Gautam on Nowrunning Rating: In essence hence Diwale is basically about a group of people doing what they have been doing for years. Shah Rukh Khan spreads his arms, romances his woman… his almost enviable in his consistency. Unfortunately the consistency could start hurting his hardcore fan base soon. How often do you see the same thing after all? Especially when you have newcomers like Ranveer Singh treading unchartered territory. And then Varun Dhawan also does what he aimed at in Main Tera Hero. Aiming at the slot that Salman Khan might soon have to vacate due to his age [If age affects him that is, and tells him it’s time]. Strange hence is the fact that Diwale still managed to entertain and make me laugh at regular interval. You should enjoy it too, if you find hilarity in the familiar. Review by Caitlin E. O’Conner on Bollyspice Rating: Dilwale is not all bad — it has its moments when it tugs at the heartstrings or tickles the funnybone, but those shining moments are mostly buried under mundane bakwas, and I’m not entirely sure it’s worth wading through it to get to the good.

It’s abrupt and all the momentum gathered throughout the film, drops quite considerably towards the end. Also, when you walk out of the cinema hall, you end up feeling more for Kashibai than the other two characters. Bajirao Mastani Review by Taran Adarsh on Bollywood Hungama Rating: BAJIRAO MASTANI is Bhansali’s most ambitious project to date. The love story, the conflict, the dramatic altercations, the battle sequences and of course, the ostentatious setting… BAJIRAO MASTANI is an enthralling period film that transports you to an era you had only read about in the history books. At the same time, Bhansali introduces the on-screen characters and the sequence of events with utmost simplicity so that the enthusiastic spectator is able to get the grip of the goings-on effortlessly. Bajirao Mastani Review by Saibal Chatterjee on NDTVMovies Rating: Bajirao Mastani is watchable primarily because of the craft that is on view in the pretty frames lit meticulously by cinematographer Sudeep Chatterjee. The characters allude repeatedly to the sky, to the sun and the moon, to the clouds and to the elements in general in the stodgy first half. Bajirao Mastani Review by Sweta Kaushal on Hindustan Times Rating: With Mastani’s scarcely recorded history, Bhansali had a beautiful premise of a love story that has never been explored onscreen. However, he makes it a tiring affair: Laden with the burden of self-indulgence and dramatic “dialoguebaazi”, the film drags on at its own sweet and laid-back pace. Bajirao Mastani Review by Ananya Bhattacharya on India Today Rating: Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Bajirao Mastani is in essence the story of Bajirao and Mastani. The director’s ode to undying love does make you pine for that kind of an extraordinary story, which can show the thumb to the shackles of worldly trivialities. Bhansali takes a leaf out of history, and crafts it into an exquisite tale. And all the participants in this orchestra are in tune with the conductor, despite the occasional out-of-note keys. Bajirao Mastani Review by Manjari Saxena on Gulfnews Rating: Also the film falls short on several accounts. First of all, it seems confused whether it should be a romance or historic film, swerving between Bajirao wanting to be the famous warrior and the eternal lover. Second, is its pace. The film hardly moves in the first hour or so, picking up speed only after the intermission – in fact it seems a little rushed in the second half. Third, the visual effects, though plenty, lack the punch of say, even, a Bahubali. Fourth, the music by Bhansali can at best be described as “sweet” and not something that anyone would listen to very often, and is a disappointment compared to that from his Devdas, Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam or Ram-Leela. If you listen carefully, you’ll find one tiny piece in the introduction seemingly “inspired” from Game of Thrones. Review by Shishir Gautam on Nowrunning Rating: Just wish that he had used as much talent and time in completing his screenplay. A rather stretched film, Bajirao Mastani is exciting till midpoint. Beyond that there is an evident lack of steam, which fizzles out by the end. The end is way to convenient and yet scattered. And he often resorts to the songs, as ever, without purpose. Review by Jaidev Hemmady on Movietalkies Rating: Bajirao Mastani has been made on a grand scale and the sheer opulence itself is worth the ticket price. There are just two war scenes in the film, but they have been shot beautifully. Of course, the film is sure to draw flak for its inaccurate portrayal of the Peshwa era, but as mentioned earlier, it is advised to keep that aside in order to enjoy a larger-than-life, tragic love story, which doesn’t need an item song or steamy kisses or raunchy scenes to put its point across. Indeed, Bhansali has ensured that the names Bajirao and Mastani deserve a place in the list of doomed lovers like Laila-Majnu, Heer-Ranjha and Shirin-Farhad. Review by Preeti Kulkarni on Bollywood Life Rating: Bajirao Mastani has been adapted from a classic called Rau by NS Inamdar and the movie takes us to the grand and powerful pages of Maratha history, marked by the brave and valiant Peshwas. This is a dramatic account of the most powerful Peshwa of all time, Bajirao Ballal and takes us through his life checkered by numerous conquests he won for his empire and of course, his eternal love story which was till now shrouded in secrecy. The story is truly engaging, mesmerising and keeps you interested till the end. Those who know a bit of the Maratha history or have read this book already, they would love to watch this visual treat, thanks to its gorgeous frames and the way its lead actors breathe life into their characters. The story is old and you may find some references from Mughal-E-Azam and Jodhaa Akbar but it truly captivating to enter into Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s world and re-live this era. Review by Shubhra Gupta on Indian Express Rating: But soon enough, you tire of all the showiness. The grandiosity wears off. You long for a genuinely moving, exciting story, featuring all these beautiful people, all actors able to pull off characters, but buried under their mounds of clothes, mouthing dialogue. ‘Bajirao Mastani’ had the potential to be a terrific historical. What it ends up being is a costume drama: too many costumes, too much revved-up, empty drama, and too little story. Review by Shubha Shetty-Saha on Mid-Day India Rating: Bhansali, in the two-and-half hour narration, transports you to a unique and stunningly beautiful world of Wadas and aayina mahal, Maharashtrian nathanis co-existing with ghunghroos and the traditional Pinga dance given a glamorous twist. Review by Kusumita Das on Deccan Chronicle Rating: A melodramatic climax aside, the film is undoubtedly a quality product, Bhansali always ensures that. But what makes it fall just short of excellence is the lack of the journey within. We never get inside the characters, especially Bajirao’s, a man who is caught in the fierce dilemma between the heart and the state. We only see the events unfold on screen one after another. It is Bhansali tipping his jewel-encrusted hat off to an epic love story in Maratha folklore. But a glimpse of the mind would have made the picture complete. Review by Srijana Mitra Das on The Times Of India Rating: The end, by the way, is marvelous. Where the first half looks fabulous but slightly far-off – like watching an opera from seats high in a theatre’s skies – the second half mesmerizes. Post-interval, Bhansali imbues every frame with epic, precise passion. His question – what should religion do? Tear us to bits? Or bring us closer? – frames an end that is frightening, beautiful and powerful. Review by Raja Sen on Rediff Rating: Sadly, this is when the characters have just about found their feet and are longing for drama, but Bhansali — favouring obsessively choreographed dance sequences over a plotline — denies them this, making sure actors and audience are mired in limbo. Review by Sarita A Tanwar on DNA India Rating: Sanjay Bhansali has lovingly conceived and executed a film he has been wanting to make for over a decade. It is challenging to take a chapter from history from a few decades ago and make it interesting for modern audiences, but SLB pulls it off. It may not be by-the-book history but what a feast for the senses. The grandiose spectacle draws you into the world of kings and warriors, mere seconds into the film. The battle scenes, the dialogues, the passion, even the saas-bahu skirmishes are all right on the money. There is beauty and sensuality aplenty to leave breathless. Bajirao Mastani is a treat for the heart, not the head. The visuals and the performances are brilliant. Watching Ranveer Singh as Bajirao as like eavesdropping on a man who lived in another time. His language –words and body are spot on. His triumphs and his tears seem all too real. In the 90’s all actresses wanted to work with Yash Chopra, as he presented his heroines as these beautiful creatures. SLB has taken over. Deepika looks ethereal. She is pitch perfect throughout. And a brilliant supporting cast. Review by Martin D’Souza on Glamsham Rating: Deepika Padukone as Bajirao’s second wife Mastani, is good but could have been better. Priyanka Chopra as Bajirao’s wife Kashibai passes muster. But there is more these girls could have done performance wise. Something ‘authentic’ in the dialogue delivery and body language is lacking. There is that ‘it’ factor that they fail to put in, which Ranveer pumps in gleefully. Review by Sonia Chopra on Sify Rating: Sanjay Leela Bhansali, that visual wizard, gives us beauty in every frame. You feel transported to another world, as you soak in the Aaina Mahal, the ornate chandeliers, beautiful fountains, the sheer ostentatious beauty all around. But that cannot make up for the lack of emotional connect to the story and characters. Bhansali is utterly unsubtle whether it is visually (which works) and when it comes to drama (doesn’t work). Review by Dhriti Sharma on Zeenews Rating: Without any boundaries and stepping back, SLB has worked his best entirely, in presenting to his audiences, the best of cinematic experience. The movie has a firm ground holding and has therefore risen to sky heights with its message and creativity. An outright outshining piece of art made unblemished, sprinkled with sincerity and discipline of acting—this love folklore will restore the drama lovers, back in their ‘expectation’ block. Review by Rajeev Masand on IBNLive Rating: There are a few things one has come to take for granted in a Sanjay Leela Bhansali film: a stunning visual aesthetic, immaculately choreographed songs, and an imposing sense of scale. His latest, Bajirao Mastani, doesn’t disappoint on any of those counts. This sweeping period piece, set in the early 18th century, focuses on a forbidden romance that consumed Bajirao Ballal Bhat, a brave general credited with expanding the Maratha Empire and winning every one of the 41 battles he fought. But the film also suffers from a condition one might describe as ‘Bhansali-it is’ – the tendency to be melodramatic, over-long, and highly indulgent. Review by Kunal Guha on Mumbai Mirror Rating: Bhansali has often been criticised to be a maker obsessed with presentation, even compromising on content (at times) in the bargain. But his excessive opulence is warranted here and having 1000 extras, elephants, horses etc in every scene, be it an aarti or welcoming the warrior on his victorious return, lends this film a cinematic edge. Bajirao Mastani Review by Indiaglitz Rating: The movie however does fall flat in a few areas. The first half being slow paced, the second half has too much weep and is extremely fast paced. It is however the climax that has been made too filmy and is disappointing. The cinematography is awesome and so is the editing. The songs are ok and do not impress us much. All in all, Bajirao Mastani is a sure shot watch for all its elements including the storyline, the visuals and the mind-boggling performance by the cast. Do not afford to miss this one. Review by Githa Vanan on Bollyspice Rating: Then there is the characters too. For a general, that is so disciplined, it seems a little absurd to see Bajirao celebrating his victory with a naach-gaana situation. Next came Kashibai. As demure as she may have been, you would expect a little more drama when your world is shattered by another woman entering your husband’s life and kingdom. At least the intelligent Kashi is not reduced to pathetic stereotypes so it’s a consolation. But the character that surprises you for the lack of depth who actually has a significant role is Bajirao and Kashibai’s elder adolescent son, Nanasaheb (Ayush Tandon). The years seem to flow in the film which can be accepted but there is no mention of the character till near the end. If it weren’t for the amazing moments between the principle cast and Bajirao with both his mother and his brother’s confrontation, the emotional connect would have lacked severely. Review by Meeta on Wogma Rating: The time lapses were distracting too. Too many times, the narrative moved from one character to another without a smooth flow. Looks like Mr. Bhansali had a lot more shot and had to be cruel on the editing table. Another distraction came with the Marathi words thrown in, isn’t it just fine that they are speaking in Hindi in a Hindi film? Then there was the preachy closing – why-o-why? Of course, even when put together these aberrations are not huge enough to take away from what’s good about the film. Magnificent visuals apart, Bajirao Mastani might be a version of history that I wish is true.

Dilwale is without doubt the biggest film of the year. The star cast comprises of some of the biggest names in the industry – Shah Rukh Khan, the king of romance, a man who continues to be a top superstar even after 24 years in the industry. He reunites with his iconic leading lady, Kajol. The film also has the industry’s rising star, Varun Dhawan and the beautiful Kriti Sanon.
