And as Superman's uncle might have said, "Great Charisma brings Greater Expectation".
When People like Yash Chopra , Shahrukh Khan , A R Rahman & Gulzar get together you don't expect anything less than Brilliant. And that's where the film disappoints you .
Despite Beautiful People , Beautiful Locales , Decent music and Decent performances, film fails to touch your emotional chord. Everything on the Screen remains on the screen , it never reaches you.
There are hardly any moment in the movie when you are touched. You keep on waiting for the moment when you want to empathize with the pain of the lead actors but you couldn't. The moment never comes. Not for the people who have seen KKHH, Veer Zara or even Tum Bin.
When credits roll with SRK on Royal Enfield reciting Yash Chopda's poetry, against the scenic backdrop of Ladakh, you start expecting something special in offering. Later in the first half the dance sequence before Isqh Shawa excites too. But these are rare moments in the movie.
The Bomb Disposal scenes lack the thrill that they should have. And if you are fan of The Hurt Locker (the little Oscar winning movie), those scenes may bring unintentional comical relief to you. And when SRK returns to London , you expect a climax but the film drags using good old formula from 80s.
Being great admirer of Deewar and Trishul and being part of a generation who has learnt romance watching Yash Chopra & SRK movies , this was not a fitting Swansong .
Masterpiece by legend Yashji...King waz excelnt,kat waz best til now,ths film z ans 4 those who criticize ab kat acting,however akira aka anu waz bit betr than kat...thr wz round f clap in PVR,of crs more than one time watch 5/5
