Review of Thugs of Hindostan . . .
When i heard the news that Yash Raj Films is making a biggest budget film which starrs none other than two big names of Bollywood Mr. Amitabh Bachchan Ji & Perfectionist Aamir Khan in lead roles. The excitement level was too high for me. Obviously not only me but fans of these stars, general audiences, critics and the entire film industry all were super excited for this one and it raised in general audiences because they released it on festival. Since many years it's definite thing at least one big film comes on Diwali. Some sets the records and some don't satisfy the audiences.
This Diwali it was biggest film Thugs of Hindostan from Yash Raj Films. A month ago i saw the trailer and that was definitely good but still i didn't expect much after watching trailer. I loved Director Vijay Krishna Acharya's debut Tashan no matter how badly that preformed at that time. It was entertainer for me. His next was Dhoom 3 which i didn't like but loved Aamir Khan's performance in that film.
This time he came with epic saga set in 1795 during British government.
All the time it creates top level excitement among the audiences and set high buzz whenever two big stars share screen together.
It was Vikram Samvat 2075 morning i read the reviews of Thugs of Hindostan from well known critics and i felt quite bad not because reviews were average but how they penned down such negative words. Same day i discussed with one of my friends who's also movie buff. She said the same thing what i thought about Indian critics who believe reviewing a film means pointing out negative things from the film.
Well let it go it happens often whenever some big films lack something or less appealing. As it was planned i went to watch it in cinema in the night show.
After trailer my expectations weren't much high but all i wanted to see that was two megastars working in the same frame. It happened for the very first time when Amitabh Bachchan Sir and Aamir Khan signed a film together. I wanted this treat since long time. I can't express what a pleasure for me to watch them on big screen.
Written and directed by Victor aka Vijay Krishna Acharya Thugs of Hindostan i found more mass appealing and entertainer for single screen cinemas rather than less preferable by class audiences of multiplexes.
Story of Khudabaksh (Big B) who is taking revenge against the British rulers. Not writing more about the story here as it is clearly predictable from the trailer.
It has revenge, patriotic, actions, thrills, mind blowing VFX etc ingredients included by the Victor to make it a BIG one.
From the beginning to the end whether it's jungle scenes or fort, sea, battle ground etc scenes are just amazingly shot. Cinematography is very beautiful.
Now about performances Katrina Kaif has very small role like Dhoom 3 but she looks stunning in her outfits and makes the scene more hotter.
Ronit Roy is quite good in her part.
Fatima Sana Sheikh is awesome. She doesn't only acts well but also looks stunning and catchy. She is doing so well.
Mohmad Zeeshan Ayyub is superb and adds humor with his one liners.
Legendary Mr. Amitabh Bachchan as Khudabaksh nails the role completely. He is fantastic in it. His entry scene, fight sequences, dialogue delivery in which he is unbeatable. All the way he is master. At this age his dedication level is what makes him versatile. Hatz off to Sir Ji.
Lastly this film would have been nothing without him.
That Firangi role played by perfectionist Aamir Khan. I saw his interview with Karan Johar on his show Koffe With Karan Season 6 where Aamir Khan said this time for Thugs of Hindostan he gave first priority to his role than the script. Generally he chooses script first then goes for the role but this time he chooses role over script.
He is OUTSTANDING in his role. His character is what he defined himself "Bahot Hi Kaminey Ko Angreji Mein Kya Kehte Hain"
That twists in his role makes the film watchable. He is badass guy. He is master in cheating. These all things make his character superb. I took more interest in his role rather than the film.
I found the film quite good and obviously not bad at all as read in the reviews. I didn't get it why people don't understand that this is a film by Victor not by Sanjay Leela Bhansali or Ashutosh Gowariker so they should not expect such things from Victor. Victor has his own ways while they have their own way.
Undoubtedly it's going to be compared with Baahubali series too therefore people were excited to see bigger than Baahubali but unfortunately script wise it is not ahead than that.
Another thing i noticed here is there was no involvement of Aamir Khan in the making of this film. Such involvements means in writing or direction etc. All he did is performed his role and definitely enjoyed working with Bachchan Sir. If it was handeled by Aamir Khan than this would have been something else product. A more superior, more class appealing, more content driven. Obviously Aamir Khan is known for his films not by the heroism like Salman Bhai. If his films are good then definitely it's going to make sound business at Box-Office as well as satisfy the audiences.
On the whole i got to know that people were expecting some cotent driven film as it was from Yash Raj Films, Starring Bachchan Sir & Aamir Khan but unfortunately due to an average or i would say usual script it's less engaging and somehow class audiences aren't going to like it because of lack of quality content. Because they've seen Aamir Khan doing a film like 3 Idiots, Pk, Dangal which are more content driven and giving message to the society while this one is clearly an entertaining one.
Well it's nothing good for me to write anything negative regarding the film and i must say i enjoyed the film especially because of Bachchan Sir and Aamir Khan on big screen first time.
I want as general audience want Aamir Khan to come back soon with his style of films like Dangal and all because we know he is master in it and he is able to contribute more quality content to the Indian Cinema.
My Ratings specially for two megastars.
3/5.
