This is the Indian adaptation of Forrest Gump
cant wait to see it
I saw it and it was long but pretty enjoyable overall.
Went into this one expecting the worst, but was surprised by how well it was adapted. Definitely had the melodramatic pitfalls of many Bollywood films (and nothing compares to Tom Hank’s performance) but I’d argue some of that melodrama lends well to the inherently over the top nature of the story. I quite liked their take on the Lieutenant Dan character, though I do wonder if his arc was a bit politically sanitized.
I know next to nothing about India’s many movie scenes, Bollywood, etc,
But I have seen the Dhoom franchise and seen Aamir Khan’s work. He is a great physical character actor and I’ll be watching this movie solely because of him.
Cringe
It’s actually great. It will not resonate with American audiences due to the original being so filled with Americana, but it’s very interesting to see a completely different history, like the Sikh Massacre or the assassination of Indira Gandhi.
When the mother has to cut Laal’s hair with a broken glass due to the persecution of Sikhs made me realize it’s a completely different story.
