I went to watch the movie with a lot of expectations. The fact is, it lives up to its hype or expectations overall. I would divide my review into Pros and Cons.
Also, for those who say this is against Hindu beliefs, it's a work of fiction and has been clearly stated. Don't believe in anything shared by random sources whose sole objective is to use you as their scapegoat (for making money).
Pros
- Good bgm
- Good cinematography
- Good VFX (except for very very few scenes)
- Relatively good casting
- Gave relatively powerful character to Mouni Roy
- Good character-role assignment
- Able to convey the feeling to a reasonable level
- Good hooks for the second part
Cons
- Some dialogues are too cliche, or not living up to the expectations
- Songs could have been better, except for one
- Alia's and a few others' character lack depth (Alia does have plenty of dialogue)
Overall, the movie is good. A lot of people are just spreading hatred for a beautifully crafted movie. SRK's and Nagarjuna Sir's roles were beautiful and could have lasted more. It felt like, the second part would cover more details that were missing in the first part.
An honest request to everyone, the rate only if you have watched the movie.
- someone who watched the movie without preconceptions and not caring about the Boycott Gangs.
