“it is an authorized adaptation of the 1994 American film Forrest Gump”
“The adaptation of Forrest Gump underwent a series of changes over a period of two decades, with Kulkarni spending the first ten years adapting the script, and another ten years purchasing the remake rights.”
Watched this movie, parts of it showed promise but overall it wasn’t very good. The movie didn’t have that bite that the original had. and Aamir Khan’s acting was just off.
Well they’re really hitting the nail on the head. I didn’t think they could get any closer to it than with My Name is Khan. Here they go proving me wrong.
The whole world is going through a crisis, right-wing governments are being elected, wars, inflation. All in all very unstable times. Yet the Indian film industry stays adamantly cringe and shows the world how true stability is achieved. Kudos!
Nationalistic Hindus in India express their dislike for Aamir Khan due to his Muslim identity, and this sentiment extends to his movies. Despite the prevalent hate, I personally appreciated the adaptation.
Just to elaborate more on this point:
The hate surrounding “Lal Singh Chaddha” seems to be a mix of various factors.
Amir Khan’s Previous Statements: Some people in the thread mention that Aamir Khan has faced backlash for his statements in the past, including remarks about pouring milk on shivling and his meeting with the First Lady of Turkey.
Boycott Culture: There seems to be a prevailing trend of boycott culture in Bollywood. Some people attribute it to a larger trend of boycotting movies based on the actors’ backgrounds or statements.
Amir Khan’s Acting in the Trailer: Some people express dissatisfaction with Aamir Khan’s acting in the trailer, citing it as over-the-top and reminiscent of his performance in “PK.” Some criticize his portrayal of a neurodivergent character, stating that it comes across as overacted and unrealistic.
Remake Criticism: There is a general sentiment against remakes, with some expressing disappointment that Bollywood often resorts to remaking successful Hollywood or South Indian films rather than creating original content.
Political and Religious Divisions: There are mentions of political and religious factors, with some attributing the hate to the actor being a Muslim and the influence of political ideologies.
Toxic Online Environment: Some people suggest that the hate may be fueled by the toxic environment on Indian social media platforms, where negativity and hate are pervasive.
Criticisms of Aamir Khan’s Attitude: Some people point to Aamir Khan’s attitude, stating that he, along with other Bollywood actors, has displayed a sense of entitlement or has made statements that may not have resonated well with the majority Hindu audience.
It’s important to note that these are individual opinions and may not represent the views of the wider audience. Bollywood movies often generate diverse reactions, and public opinion can be influenced by various factors, including personal biases, political affiliations, and the overall socio-cultural context.

I anyone like me was curious.
Extremely loved the movie, just touched my heart..
This looks like a beautiful adaptation
Is Rupa gonna have aids as well?
It’s a good movie, but Aamir Khan comes off like he’s playing Mr Bean rather than Forrest Gump in all the flashbacks.
curious to see what events they adapt to fit the indian culture. what’s the indian equivalent to vietnam war or the black panthers?
Lieutenant Naan
I think every country should get their own Gump rendition, it’s a great IP for adaptations
At least he didn’t go full retard
Is this a real movie? It seems funny enough to actually watch.

Ah, nothing like that classic movie line, “Life is just like a ‘golgappa’, your tummy might feel full, but your heart always craves more.”
“Is there a Mr. Punjab, Mrs. Punjab?”
Well they’re really hitting the nail on the head. I didn’t think they could get any closer to it than with My Name is Khan. Here they go proving me wrong.
Its super shit version of Forrest gump. It was cringe watching it after watching Forrest gump for 5 times.

I liked it. It wasn’t amazing or anything. Could be improved in many places. Obviously the original is much better.
But I still had fun watching it.
Never watched it, but I can guarantee it has unnecessary emotional scenes with zero subtlety to make it a “good” movie.
What is up with the comments on youtube? They seems very non-human.
