Movie Review: Bajranji Bhaijaan

So, after having read & heard uncountable reviews, I finally got round to watching the 500 crore blockbuster movie of 2015, "Bajrangi Bhaijaan". And let me tell you, I loved the movie. This, coming from a not so patient person who sat through a 3 hour movie, where every minute was worth it! 


Salman Khan is at his usual best & this may be one of his top performances of all times & the adorable six year old, Harshali Malhotra melted my heart with her dimpled smile & a power packed acting. Through her superb expressions, without a single dialogue, Harshali is clearly the star of the movie.

Shahida (Harshali), a six year old who cannot speak, is from Pakistan and gets separated from her mother on a trip to India. Salman Khan, plays Pawan Kumar Chaturvedi, a simpleton & a Lord Hanuman Bhakt who runs into Shahida & takes it upon himself to return the young girl to her family in Sultanpur, Pakistan. The story revolves around the trials, Pawan goes through to get the child across the border. Nawazuddin, who plays Chand Nawab, a freelance journalist assists Pawan in his mission in Pakistan.

The movie portrays secularism, brilliantly woven in the script & the smart dialogues. The love for humanity prevails over the acceptance of religious sentiments & touches the viewer's heart strings.

The climax however, is a little exaggerated & seems to drag on for a long time. Be ready to leave the theaters teary eyed with this one!

My Rating: 4/5

Crimson

It came out of nowhere, Creeping about on the roofs & walls, They tried cutting it, to stop it from growing. But spread it did, entwining itself on the branches & the hedge. One day when they woke up,  The garden was bathed in crimson hues, Flower petals glistened with fresh dew drops, The sun rays softly beamed down. The Weed had finally bloomed.

Waves of Gold

The clouds looked dark & swollen, As if a thousand tears would flow all of a sudden, Just then a flash of lightning lit up the whole sky, Alarming the flock of birds flying so high. Thrown into a reverie, She remembered a similar night, When the thunder had boomed too close. And a sudden flash had lit up the hay roof. Her pleas for help had failed While the golden waves danced around her. Then all was quiet. Nights like these, She missed them. Wondering whether they did too.

"I dream, therefore I exist"

She dreamed about it, day & night Knowing it was too good to be true.  Wanting for it to happen with all her might But being practical was her virtue. Some told her to pray, others to visualize Saying, work your way, don’t see left or right. Work she did, day & night, Her goal, though not in sight. One day, her dream stared her in the face She was too numb to react “Dreams do come true. I can’t believe it, “, she cried “Maybe, I was too afraid, I’d fail” she said & smiled.
