spoilers ahead! At first I thought it was going to be a scene by scene copy of Forest Gump. But after watching it on Netflix today my opinions have completely and drastically changed. So happy that the makers desi-fied all the sequences. I'm really sad that this movie didn't get the appreciation it deserved. Such a heartfelt journey of this extraordinary lead character who is played by the king of acting, Aamir Khan. The pace of the movie is so on point that it takes us through a ride of emotions, at times you laugh at his sheer innocence, cry when you see him crying and your heart does a flip when you witness his journey of heart breaks. The comic timing was amazing. The little small gestures and the Punjabi is something I'm quite a fan of. I fully enjoyed Bala and Laal's bond and surely felt sad when he died in his arms. You begin to respect the bond when even after Bala's death Laal still managed to make his dream and legacy go on. Also the marvelous sequence when he hugged Muhammed and realized that his other best friend has to go too. oof and I can't begin to put into words how ugly I cried after seeing him talk to Rupa on her grave, makes you bawl your eyes out. Also Laal's mother's departure was so emotional "mat jao mummy" tissue please. The scene where Laal got to know that Aman is actually his son and the way he slightly tripped and had tears in his eyes. Claps to the locations during his run. I was stunned at such beautiful scenic spots. Full points on Kareena's styling, she looked so beautiful and young. The scene where Rupa saves the house maiden from the husband was clap worthy, then Laal's sudden arrival to stop and comfort her. The hug was priceless and the sobs made me cry too. Also the scene after Laal comes to visit her in Chandigarh and they finally get together, that exact moment when after all the times he proposed her and she rejected, it was a treat to watch her propose the final time. That beautiful moment when both of them break into a tearful happy laugh. Beautiful! Call me whatever you want but Sonu Nigam's small version was so powerful and touching that it dethroned Arijit's versions. Also someone please slap some sense into whoever that thought this movie was rotten tomatoes. Thoroughly enjoyed The Perfectionist's craft. The movie is so good that I would surely prefer this over Forest Gump.
