6/10
Bharat is well-intentioned, entertaining...but makers tried too hard to prove that, is its problem.

BHARAT is about the journey of a man and a nation together. But i wud rather say..'its Salman's journey to get katrinna, thts it'

An official adaptation of South Korean drama Ode to my Father (2014).

The story begins in 1947 in Mirpur village near Lahore. Bharat (Salman Khan) is a kid and his father Gautam Kumar (Jackie Shroff) .

Separated from his father and sister during the Indo-Pak partition in 1947 as a child, Bharat decides to dedicate his entire life to keeping the promise he'd made to his missing father.

Bharat soon grows up as a dashing young man (Salman Khan) and he and his childhood friend Vilayati (Sunil Grover) join a circus.

Here he comes across the sizzling Radha (Disha Patani). Both Bharat and Radha get into a relationship.

However when Bharat realises his stunts might be influencing youngsters to do the same without proper training, he quits the circus. 🙄

He goes to employment exchange where he meets Kumud (Katrina Kaif) and gets smitten by her. Bharat and Vilayati are sent to Middle East to work in the oil fields.

Kumud who is now in love with Bharat stops him from taking high risk mine projects...Bharat however still takes up the work.

But an explosion takes place in the underground mine. It seems near impossible for Bharat and his other colleagues to come out alive..,thts the the story of salman as miner.

The Merchant Navy story track is a time-wasting exercise.

Salman is as always good or bad cant say...,,some will love him like GOD n some will get bored of his regular acting, mannerism, n heroism.,, sunil & disha did good work.

Katrina kaif is good but I think not fit for the role.

Ali Abbas Zafar and Varun V Sharma's screenplay is effective and keeps viewers engaged from start to finish.

On the flipside however, the humour is forced in a few scenes and doesn't make the desired impact.

Vishal-Shekhar's music is good.

Bharat is well-intentioned, entertaining.

The fact that it tries a bit too hard to prove that, is its problem.
