It's an unapologetic celebration of the myth, the man, the legend that is SRK. Atlee not only shines as a director in his ability to present SRK in his 'mass-iest' avatar yet, but also in his knowledge of how to use colour,his sense of pacing a sequence kudos to some masterful editing and where to put his actors in a given frame, some topnotch cinematography.
Though having exhilarating action sequences with some applause worthy VFX work, some strong, repetitive but neccesary social commentary, the heart and soul of this film has been kept grounded in its script - the films strongest yet most problematic part, let's talk about it.
There is an attempt to fit a web-series worth of story in a movie, which results in the people behind the camera having to juggle it's characters, handpicking ones to give love, resulting in others getting absolutely nothing.
There are moments when the script demands to sit with the charecters in a moment of silence, but it just moves right forward which results in the point being made, but not hammered home. Easy way to fix this? Take out the 25 mins worth of songs and use those valuable 25 mins to build up your charecters.
Credit to the filmmakers, they are doing their best to accomodate the story in the given runtime and the decisions, the shortcuts, the sacrifices that were made are understandable, and hey we are here to see SRK and it more than delivers.
