The film is far from being 'flawless', but the verdict remains :) IMO - watching this film is perhaps the closest we as common cine-goers can come to celebrating just how far the Hindi film industry has come! (1/N)
Ayan Mukerji dreamt of making this film when he ws all of 29. I wish I have half his ambition when I'm 29. The scale, the grandeur, the visuals - simply mindblowing. To say this is a landmark for Indian cinema would not be an overstatement. (2/N)
What worked well - the visuals, the commitment to Indian mythology (a first for Indian cinema), the fantastic ensemble. I don't understand the calls for boycott - you have an issue with a film that celebrates India culture so well?! Twats. (3/N)
What didn't - the underexploration/rushed treatment given to the emotional core, some pointless songs (Dance Ka Bhoot), cringeworthy dialogues and inconsistent acting performances (because of the elongated shooting period). (4/N)
The whole of the first half with the exception of the interval block was just passable, but everything in the 2nd half is akin to how one would expect an MCU film to shape up. (5/N)
It is after a long wait that I'm really looking forward to the sequel of a film. I hope #AyanMukerji and Team cover lost ground by shooting consistently and releasing the film in time, given the VFX code stands cracked. And how! 😍(6/N)
