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

A yellow sunny day Surrounded by lavender fields, I felt as happy as a daisy Under a blue sky with wisps of white clouds blowing steadily A tiny brown squirrel scurried near me Hunting for acorns amidst the greenery. As Twilight approached, Draped in shades of orange and red, The grey crescent moon appeared A regular visitor Shining brighter as the night got blacker. Do you see the rainbow too? As the days pass and turn to years , Your Life in technicolor...

"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.

Parenting is a tough job, & trying to be a friend to your child at the same time can be a difficult task. However, playing a dual role of a parent & a friend need not be kept separate. As long as you create the trust between your child & you, & make them aware of the boundaries & limits, its manageable.  Sometimes, they will require you to be a parent, asking you for advice, coming to you for sympathy & a shoulder to cry on. You as a parent also need to respect your child in many ways. Your child is looking for advice and guidance from you and you are, in a way, their role model whether they want to admit it or not. Parents these days are afraid to refuse the demands of their kids but its OK to say no sometimes. Giving in to your child's wishes may lead to extreme stubbornness in latter years. Hence, it is important to know where to draw the line and know where to be a parent and not to please them because you do not want them upset or angry at you
