Rating: 3/5 (Because It's entertainer & I like Shreya ghoshal's song/voice and VFX)
First of All, Name of the movie does not suits the characters which they refer to (like Khudabaksh / Azad, Zafira).
They concentrated on putting lots of Masala (good screenplay) and thus, actual ingredient is neglected (which is the script).
I do not watch Hollywood movies that much. So I have not seen all series of 'pirates of the caribbean' movie.
From my angle, 'Thugs Of Hindostan' was 'ok-ok' movie. Amitab Bachhan is a gem of actors. His voice and dialogue delivery is as awesome as usual. Amir Khan performs good & Dances very well in Vashmalle song. Katarina have very small role and much of the time she is dancing. I hated choreography in Suraiyya song but Shreya ghoshal's voice is enough to keep you spell-bounded.
Now about story, it is really below average. Dialogues are predictable and brings nothing new. They have ruined all star cast & crew, VFX, money and songs just because of not-so-good script. It is one time watchable movie.
Watch if you are fan of Amitab, Katrina, Action scenes, VFX, Huge Old sets.
Don't watch if you are fan of Amir Khan's perfect kind of movies, find story & logic very important, want to watch Katrina as a lead in movie (because Fatima is the main character of movie), expecting something like 'pirates of the caribbean' movie (I have read the story of it which is far away than this movie).
