The primary differentiation between Forrest Gump and Laal Singh Chaddha is that Forrest was driven mostly by his instinct to follow commands, Laal's actions ...

Ultimately, of course, Laal Singh Chaddha must stand on its own sans comparisons since it is being viewed in 2022 by a whole generation of viewers to whom Forrest Gump is not a cultural reference that evokes nostalgia. Where Laal Singh Chaddha is a vast improvement on Forrest Gump is in the characterisation of Laal’s life-long love interest, Rupa ( Kareena Kapoor Khan). Forrest’s Jenny (Robin Wright) was a flat cardboard cut-out who popped in and out of his life while bad things just happened to her. Laal Singh Chaddha gives Rupa more heft and agency, allowing her the space to take matters into her own hands in a decisive way, thus making headlines in this film in the way that Forrest repeatedly did but Jenny did not. By the time the curtain falls on Laal Singh Chaddha, India is well past the 2014 elections – we know that because we fleetingly see an image from Narendra Modi’s campaign that year and because of a tragedy that strikes the protagonist in 2018. But simplistic it was, seeming to suggest that as long as you do what is good and right, you will find good things (in this case, a remarkable career and prosperity) coming to you – a philosophy that might perhaps seem logical from the place of social privilege that Forrest, a white American male, occupied, but shut its eyes to the reality of most of humanity, especially communities deprived of prosperity specifically because of white American male dominance. It was brilliant in its format – the saga of a slow-witted man chatting with strangers on a bus-stop bench and recounting his life story parallel to world-altering events that he had witnessed up close or even participated in without realising their significance, unaware that he had sometimes personally influenced great artists or the course of national affairs through several tumultuous decades of American history.

Director Advait Chandan is too literal in his adaptation of the 90s classic but finds a warmth and political honesty the original lacks.

Few could blame Khan for playing safe in the face of renewed personal attacks and weaponised hashtags. Making the amputee pal a reformed fundamentalist (Manav Vij) is interesting, although the hands-across-the-temple-aisle editorial feels watered down compared with Khan’s puckish religious satire PK. Laal Singh Chaddha is far from the worst Hindification of a Hollywood property: it consolidates the basic competency that Chandan demonstrated in Secret Superstar without achieving the genuine magic that the earlier film conjured from well-worn material. Bollywood megastar Aamir Khan’s “Hanks-ish likability” is tested to the limit by his new project with his Secret Superstar director Advait Chandan: a Hindi remake of Forrest Gump, late 20th-century Hollywood’s pre-eminent Rorschach blot.

On paper, nothing really feels inspired or out-of-the-box in Laal Singh Chaddha, foremost of which is the role of a halfwit being embodied by a Sardar.

On the contrary, Punjabis have inherited trauma, a politically charged environment and the constant defacement of a culture that is on the inside, possibly the warm and grounded. But leave it to Bollywood’s tokenism and all Punjabis are ever good for is intoxicated outbursts, a kink for breaking the law and the lack of a particular vein that prevents them from taking life seriously. Ranbir Kapoor’s Rocket Singh is an empathetic portrayal of a middle-class sardar trying to survive. On paper, nothing sounds inspired about Laal Singh Chadha. The film is an official remake of a divisive classic that really shouldn’t have been remade considering the original continues to divide audiences and the critics alike. But of all the details that some ambitious pen put to paper, the least has been the sight of a low IQ halfwit being embodied by a sardar. The industry’s last decade has been led by popular, franchise films that infantilise sardars and Punjabis in ways that seem to echo Bollywood’s imagination.

Considering the stature of the original, it’s hard to not compare Laal Singh Chaddha with Tom Hanks’ Forrest Gump. But even after that, Aamir Khan and his team manage to live up to the original and present an entertaining watch. As far as the performances are concerned, Aamir Khan aces as Laal Singh Chaddha. He really lives the part, and that evidently comes across in the movie. Laal Singh Chaddha stays true to the setting of every phase it showcases in the film, and all credit for it goes to production designers Imran Manzoor and Mustafa Stationwala, and art directors Bilal Hashmi and Pravin S Kadam. In a film that spans several decades, costumes play an important part in the narrative and designer Maxima Basu does a fair job at that. As far as the dialogues are concerned, some of them are beautifully written. This situation in the Hindi film has been very differently treated as compared to the original, showcasing the filmmaker’s understanding of our instincts and emotions. One of the most difficult things about an adaptation is its comparison with the original.

Kareena Kapoor posted a picture of herself when she was pregnant with Jehangir Ali Khan. The post also featured Aamir Khan and Advait Chandan on Laal Singh ...

Last year, Aamir also spoke about shooting of the film, while Kareena was pregnant. In May, sharing the trailer of the film on Instagram, Kareena had written, “A pandemic, two lockdowns, and a baby later... The movie released in theatres on Thursday. Laal Singh Chaddha is an official Hindi adaptation of the Academy Award-winning 1994 film Forrest Gump, which had Tom Hanks in the lead role.

Thank you Advait and Aamir for having not just me but the both of us in it... Kareena was pregnant with Jeh during the shoot of Laal Singh Chaddha. He was born on February 21, last year.

Let us not even go into the implausibility of how a trained Indian Army soldier cannot differentiate between his own brothers in the Army and the enemies.

Sure, there are the usual Bollywood mouthpieces singing praises for the movie, but since the movie releases just ahead of a long weekend, it may even pick up the pace and get some commercial success. After the opening, it seems the movie has taken liberties with the storyline to peddle Aamir Khan’s usual anti-Hindu propaganda that he is known for. The good terrorist is shown doing Namaz, (Lt Dan was an atheist and he later made peace with God, that was one of the best sub narratives in Forrest Gump) and our Laal Singh declares that Puja Path is useless, they only spread ‘malaria’. And thus, Gary Sinise’s legendary, historic character from Forrest Gump becomes an Islamist terrorist, a ‘good’ person apparently because that is what Aamir Khan and Atul Kulkarni the writer wants Indians to swallow. India Today’s review of the movie has called out Aamir Khan’s bad acting performance. Aamir Khan’s comeback film Laal Singh Chaddha has been given a thumbs down by several critics.

The *advance bookings* of— taran adarsh (@taran_adarsh) #LaalSinghChaddhaand #RakshaBandhanare way BELOW EXPECTATIONS… Both dependent on [i] spot bookings / walk-in audience and [ii] word of mouth to put up strong totals on Day 1 [Thu]. pic.twitter.com/EA9RPbZ9eh August 10, 2022 Aamir Khan starrer Laal Singh Chadda, a remake of the Hollywood iconic movie Forrest Gump, is all set to release in theatres today on August 11. On August 11, the producers might be in for a major shock if the spot bookings are not in line with expectations. “Disappoints,” Tweeted Taran Aadarsh giving the movie a two-star rating. Let’s get the facts right… In fact, yesterday, a day prior to the release of the movie, Taran Adarsh also shared that the advance bookings of Lal Singh Chaddha and Akshay Kumar’s Rakshabandhan are way below expectations.

Trade guru Taran Adarsh says he is hopeful about both. “It's too early to comment on the box-office prospects of either Laal Singh Chaddha or Raksha Bandhan ...

I feel, the audiences are in for a bountiful and both the films will help getting audiences back to the cinemas for sure. The promotion of Raksha Bandhan is more aggressive than Laal Singh Chaddha. Fingers are crossed. The music is climbing the charts and audiences’ interest levels are quite high. Laal Singh Chaddha has an obvious edge in terms of scale, size and sincerity which Aamir brings to the audiences with every release of his. “It's too early to comment on the box-office prospects of either Laal Singh Chaddha or Raksha Bandhan. The advance bookings have not been too strong and the two films are dependent on word of mouth, as things stand today. The trending patterns of both films are neck-to-neck as of now. For weeks and months now, we have had so many films underperforming at the box-office. Everything is dependent on how strong the reports are when the films are released. Laal Singh Chaddha is leading at premium multiplexes, while Raksha Bandhan and Laal Singh Chaddha are neck-to-neck in terms of advance booking beyond metros.” Raksha Bandhan has an edge over Laal Singh Chaddha as it has managed to get more shows due to its length. Trade insider Atul Mohan would like both films to do well, “We would love both the films to do well at the box-office. But this week, Aamir Khan, no less, graces the box-office with his august presence (pun intended) in Laal Singh Chaddha. In addition, there is Akshay Kumar in the celebration-specific mode of Raksha Bandhan.

With Laal Singh Chaddha finally hitting theatre screens, we look at 5 instances where the Advait Chandan directorial took creative liberties in the script ...

On the other hand, Laal Singh Chaddha sees our main protagonist narrating the unforgettable moments from his celebrated life with random strangers inside a train. However, he dies during the Vietnam War and Forrest Gump honours him by delivering his promise and starting Bubba Gump Shrimp Company. In Laal Singh Chaddha, we have Naga Chaitanya's Bala, Laal Singh Chaddha's best friend, who wants to get into the Chaddi Baniyan business like his father and grandfather and great-grandfather. In Laal Singh Chaddha, it's a young Shah Rukh Khan, who is inspired by Laal Singh Chaddha to do his iconic, signature open arms pose, which could leave anyone weak in their knees! However, he dies during the Kargil War. Laal Singh Chaddha fulfils his promise and kickstarts Bala Chaddi Baniyan, which quirkily changes to Rupa Baniyan, named after Kareena Kapoor Khan's Rupa, Laal Singh Chaddha's love interest. From the Vietnam War to the Watergate Scandal, Forrest Gump covered many iconic US history milestones in the movie, as it was based on Winston Groom's 1986 novel of the same name. *SPOILERS ALERT* Laal Singh Chaddha, Aamir Khan's labour of love has finally released!

After a spate of box office duds coming from Bollywood, a lot is riding on the fate of Aamir Khan's Laal Singh Chaddha and Akshay Kumar's Raksha Bandhan.

While Bollywood’s performance has been dismal, four successive super-hits from the South—Pushpa: The Rise Part-1, RRR, KGF: Chapter 2 and Vikram (to a much smaller extent in Hindi as Vikram: Hitlist)—have grossed more than Rs 3,000 crore worldwide, including nearly Rs 800 crore in Hindi net collections. On the other hand, Raksha Bandhan is estimated to open with Rs 9 crore on day one and may end up reporting lifetime collection of Rs 80-90 crore. We maintain that Hindi Box Office is slated to decline 22 per cent (vs pre COVID levels) in Q2FY23, as content has been below par so far and we are already the end of first half of the quarter, with no film reporting a positive surprise,” he said. His only hit during this period has been Sooryavanshi (Nov 5, 2021), which was made on a production budget of about Rs 160 crore and earned a net lifetime collection of Rs 196 crore in India and Rs 295 crore gross worldwide collections, according to Bollywood Hungama. Elara Capital’s vice president Karan Taurani says expects Laal Singh to have a stronger opening with Rs 16 crore, and a lifetime collection of Rs 150-160 crore. Seven of the top 10 grossers in this span were from the South, pegs Ormax Media data. Trade analyst Komal Nahta says they are both costly, big-banner and well-mounted films, which are coming when Bollywood is reeling under the pressure of losses. Raksha Bandhan, on the other hand, saw advance booking of 35,000 tickets sold for Day 1 at the box office with a total collection of approx. The film is produced by Zee Studios and director Aanand L. Rai at an approximate budget of over Rs 70 crore. In terms of all India sales, the film, which is an official remake of the hit Hollywood film Forrest Gump, has sold approximately 57,000 tickets for the opening day. For last few weeks, the film was facing social media backlash and boycott calls because of old statements of Aamir Khan, who has also produced the film along with Viacom18 studios. Over the next eight days, there are four holidays owing to Raksha Bandhan, a long weekend including Independence Day, followed by Janmashtami and Parsi New Year which may be partial holidays.

Watch Laal Singh Chaddha for ace performances from Aamir and Kareena and that cute kid. Though the track with Manav Vij and Laal touches your heart and doesn't look forced in the script. The particular sequence set against the drop back of Kargil War could have been written and shot in a much better way. Called Mr Perfectionist for a reason, Aamir gives his 100% and delivers the best he could to the character written for him. Complimenting Laal is the flawless Kareena Kapoor as his love interest Rupa D'Souza, who looks beautiful in every frame. The box of chocolate gets replaced by a box of golgappas.

Former India cricketers Virender Sehwag and Suresh Raina have reviewed Aamir Khan's much-awaited film Laal Singh Chaddha, which hit the theatres today.

Echoing a similar sentiment, Suresh Raina said that he is in complete awe of the hard work and efforts put in by the Laal Singh Chaddha team. Laal Singh Chaddha also stars Mona Singh and Naga Chaitanya in pivotal roles. I really loved watching it."

The opening day occupancy of both Laal Singh Chaddha and Raksha Bandhan have been way below expectations, ringing alarm bells across Bollywood. | Bollywood.

Films have seen growth through word-of-mouth, most notably The Kashmir Files, but bigger tentpole films like Laal Singh Chaddha and Raksha Bandhan work on strong opening days, which looks like a stretch here. The one thing working for the two films is positive critical reception, which both have received. The advance bookings of Laal Singh Chaddha and Raksha Bandhan are way below expectations... Trade analysts say the figures should improve over the weekend but 60-70 percent occupancy looks unlikely, which means the films will struggle to post huge opening weekend numbers. Now, sources say that the opening day first shows have seen remarkably low attendance for both films. This release day (August 11) was thought by many to help revive the Hindi film industry with two big releases in Laal Singh Chaddha and Raksha Bandhan. With Aamir Khan and Akshay Kumar headlining the two films, many expected the films would break the rut – of Bollywood non-performers.

Director: Advait Chandan. Cast: Aamir Khan, Kareena Kapoor Khan, Mona Singh and Naga Chaitanya. IANS Rating: ***1/2. Aamir Khan's stardom is an interesting ...

The signature brilliance of Aamir Khan seems to be missing in the dialogue-led scenes, but he puts his strengths to test with the scenes where there are no dialogues. Lyricist Amitabh Bhattacharya seems to be a little lost in the film. The film’s director Advait Chandan, who has been a long-time collaborator of Aamir in different capacities, has done justice to Kulkarni’s script. The script has been penned by actor Atul Kulkarni, who has worked with Aamir in ‘Rang De Basanti’, and is his dear friend. Much like its original, ‘Laal Singh Chaddha’ tells the story of a simple man and how he sails through life with his goodwill and values. His success ratio only adds to his massive credibility as the superstar who rarely fails, barring of course in few exceptions such ‘Mela’ and ‘Thugs of Hindostan’.

This Indian adaptation of “Forrest Gump” doubles down on its Pollyanna hero, substituting different historical touchstones.

(Laal is Sikh but only barely grasps these violent events.) The famous box of chocolates is reimagined, sweetly so: life is now like a golgappa (a crisp fried treat). In the film’s framing device, Laal (Aamir Khan, the star of the 2001 crossover hit “Lagaan”) recounts his life story to passengers on a train.

'The film shows we should only exist as cured of our disability,' says disability advocate.

It is a film for the whole family.” It is a feel-good film. It is a wonderful story about this character. “These mobility aids give freedom to so many of us. Like our mobility aids are some kind of crutch that need to be shed off immediately.” According to local reports, Laal Singh Chaddha has been filmed in more than 100 Indian locations.

The business of Laal Singh Chaddha might drop on Friday, and the fate of the film will depend on how well it trends on Saturday, Sunday and Monday (Independence Day). With this start, a big total is ruled out and now it’s all about reaching a face-saving number in the longer run. In the morning, it seemed as if Laal Singh Chaddha would end around the 10-crore mark, but the biz did pick up towards evening shows in the multiplexes. The Advait Chandan directed Laal Singh Chaddha with Aamir Khan in lead has opened much below the expectations.

Aamir Khan starrer Laal Singh Chaddha has been filmed in over 100 locations across India and is one of the costliest movies of this year.

Laal Singh Chaddha is the story of mentally challenged but optimistic man who leads a normal life like others. The actor underwent a lot of physical changes to suit himself for the role, including losing 20 kgs weight and sporting a beard. Comedy-drama film Laal Singh Chaddha, which stars Aamir Khan, Kareena Kapoor and Naga Chaitanya in lead roles, released worldwide on August 11.

Aamir Khan's Laal Singh Chaddha collected just about INR 11 to 12 crore on its first day at the box office.

Laal Singh Chaddha has been released in a week full of holidays and hence it is important that the film marks an unbeatable trend in order to cope up with the loss borne on the first day. At first it looked like the film would only reach around the INR 10 crore mark, but the evening shows helped a lot in crossing the INR 12 crore mark. Aamir Khan’s Laal Singh Chaddha collected just about INR 11 to 12 crore on its first day at the box office, which is reportedly considered a low start by the makers of the film, reported Pinkvilla.

Directed by Advait Chandan, Laal Singh Chaddha is written by Atul Kulkarni and stars Kareena Kapoor as the lead opposite Aamir's titular character.

Without touching the inviolable essence of innocence in Forrest Gump, Laal Singh Chaddha outdistances the original, not because Aamir Khan runs faster than ...

It is interesting to see how the original has been adapted to the Indian milieu. The making of ‘Tur Kalleyan’ from its music to the video was long and overtaxing at times. And Laal names the lingerie business after Rupa. Yes, the Rupa brand of underclothes is owned by Laal Singh Chaddha. So is Shah Rukh Khan’s signature step with his hands stretched out. Atul Kulkarni’s screenplay takes us through stretches of Indian history encountering milestones ranging from the 1974 Sikh Riots to Sushmita Sen being crowned Miss Universe. It is a clever engrossing adaptation and one that leaves the original behind. He believes if God has given you more money than you need, then you must pass it on to the needy. It just gets to you pretty much from the start when we meet the over-protected little Laal struggling with a leg disorder that doctors say, could leave him crippled. Except what his mother (played by Mona Singh who is no patch on Sally Field in the original) has taught him: to ingratiate himself to everyone he meets. Soon, the entire compartment is hooked to Laal’s narration. And I don’t mean just the panoramic sweep of Nature’s bounty that cinematographer Satyajit Pande brings to every frame. The makers of Forrest Gump should be more than happy with what writer Atul Kulkarni, director Advait Chandan and Aamir Khan have done to the original. But it is Rupa, played by the ethereal Kareena Kapoor Khan, for whom Laal’s pure-as-gold heart beats. But here is a remake, a re-creation if you will, that actually surpasses the original.

Aamir Khan starrer Laal Singh Chaddha has tanked at the box office with its opening day collection being abysmal. | OpIndia News.

YouTuber and film enthusiast Dewansh Singh Rajput published a video review of the film on his YouTube channel in which he made some worrisome allegations against the film. According to Bollywood pundits, an Aamir Khan movie should have ideally had an opening of Rs 30 crores. Earlier, when PR agencies were doing on overdrive trying to show an uptick in advance booking, Taran Adarsh had tweeted sounding a warning that people should not believe the hype that has been created. The movie is said to be doing better in Delhi and Punjab but has failed miserably in the rest of the country. The movie’s opening and just how badly it did is evidenced by the fact that the opening was worse than the Kabir Khan directorial, 83, and the Farhad Samji film, Bachchhan Paandey. On the other hand, the movie did not even come close to opening days for movies that have been mega hits this year. It is reported to be the lowest opening that an Aamir Khan movie has seen in the past 13 years.

Both the films also faced a section of social media’s boycott calls, which both Aamir and Akshay have addressed. Laal Singh Chaddha, according to BOI, is performing similarly to December’s large-scale sports drama 83, which made around Rs 14 crore, but underperformed at the box office because of a new wave of the pandemic. Raksha Bandhan was one of the many Akshay Kumar projects that were completed over the pandemic with breakneck speed. Box Office India says that Laal Singh Chaddha made Rs 10.75 crore on its opening day, which was described in the report as ‘shocking’. Bollywood Hungama said this will be the lowest opening for Aamir Khan in the past 13 years. It was a poor opening day at the box office for Aamir Khan’s Laal Singh Chaddha, the epic remake of Hollywood hit Forrest Gump that released on Thursday amid calls for a boycott. The final box office numbers are awaited.

Laal Singh Chaddha movie review: It's not just the pace of the film which is the trouble. It is also, centrally and crucially, Sardar Laal Singh Chaddha ...

It’s only when Laal Singh Chaddha leaves the dull shackles of his mannerisms, and hits the road, passing by some of the most spectacular sights that India possesses– the intense blue Ladakh lake, the shimmering Himalayan night, a scenic Southern coastline– that he starts to grow on me. And Kareena Kapoor Khan, as Rupa, the love of Laal’s life, desperate to put her painful past behind, infuses real feeling into her part. When we first come upon Laal Singh Chaddha, he is in a train, holding on to a box of gol-gappa, or pani-puri, and a backpack full of memories. It is also, centrally and crucially, Sardar Laal Singh Chaddha himself. But it is the train which gathers speed, not Laal’s meandering tale, which only kicks in towards the last half hour. Soon, though, Laal succeeds in drawing in the disinterested woman across him, and then the entire compartment.

The official collections of Laal Singh Chaddha and Raksha Bandhan are yet to be shared by the makers but early estimates are out, which are not up to the ...

However, Laal Singh Chaddha and Raksha Bandhan will face a solid screen crunch after the release of Vijay Deverakonda's pan-India biggie Liger, which is making a huge noise across the country. After a long wait and anticipation, Aamir Khan's Laal Singh Chaddha and Akshay Kumar's Raksha Bandhan released yesterday at the box office. However, the Aamir Khan starrer still has an edge over Raksha Bandhan as LSC marks the comeback of the megastar on the silver after nearly four years.

Mumbai: Aamir Khan's latest film Laal Singh Chaddha has released in cinemas on August 11 and has received a lukewarm response from the people. An official.

In fact yesterday the rating was 3.6 which has risen to 4.2 today. However, seems like it is going to face the same fate as other Hindi releases this year. Aamir Khan’s big hopes for ‘Laal Singh Chaddha’ seems to be going down the drain as the IMDb ratings of the film stand at a mere 4.2 out of 10 on the basis of 51,791 votes.

Laal Singh Chaddha has not taken a promising start as it collected around Rs 11.50 crore on its first day. Honestly, the collections are quite considering ...

Since the film has garnered mixed reviews, it will be interesting to see how Laal Singh Chaddha will perform at the box office in the coming days. Honestly, the collections are quite considering an Aamir Khan film. Aamir Khan has gone all out for this ambitious project, which took more than 200 days of shooting. After the debacle of Thugs of Hindostan, Aamir Khan returned to the silver screen after four years with Laal Singh Chaddha, which released yesterday at the box office. Aamir Khan's Laal Singh Chaddha and Akshay Kumar's Raksha Bandhan are releasing on 11th August at the global box office. In fact, Laal Singh Chaddha has recorded the lowest opening for an Aamir Khan film in the last 13 years.

As a result of a low turnout and cancelled shows on the first day, the exhibitors have decided to reduce 1300 shows of the film on Friday 12th August 2022 when ...

Even on the opening day, the occupancy was as low as 10 to 12 people in maximum shows. Now that there is very less footfall in the talkies than expected, the theatre owners themselves are reducing the number of shows of this movie. It is reported to be the lowest opening that an Aamir Khan movie has seen in the past 13 years. The two films together failed to gross a total of Rs. 20 crores on their first day, unable to capitalize on the Raksha Bandhan holiday. It is notable that Aamir Khan’s film was released on the occasion of the Hindu festival Raksha Bandhan and the release date followed a long weekend as independence day falls on Monday this year. Aamir Khan’s latest film ‘Laal Singh Chaddha’ has shown a very poor performance at the box office on its opening day, 11th August 2022.

Aamir Khan is the centerpiece of this film, and his over-acting puts you off from the get-go. If you think the original film was slow and boring, this one was almost an hour longer, making it almost insufferable. So while I was not a fan of the original, I knew I will not like its copy, since Bollywood has a penchant for destroying even the good Hollywood films, as Aamir Khan has himself demonstrated repeatedly.

(There is something left with me after watching this story, and it will stay with me forever) Aap sab tatoliye apne andar, you will find your Laal Singh (all of you look inside, you will find your Laal Singh).” Urging people to watch the film, Ali Fazal added, “You will laugh, you will smile your best smiles and you will cry and weep only to smile again. Ali Fazal, who is totally impressed with the film, has called the movie “pure gold and pure heart”. He has also thanked Aamir for giving everyone Laal Singh Chaddha.

Former England cricketer Monty Panesar, who has his roots in the Indian state of Punjab, also joined the bandwagon on Thursday as he posted a tweet supporting calls for the movie's boycott. Over the past few weeks, the movie ‘Laal Singh Chaddha’ – remake of a popular 1994 US-based movie ‘Forrest Gump’ – has been hit by boycott calls in India. The hashtag ‘#BoycottLaalSinghChaddha’ trended on Twitter, meant to urge the people to not watch the movie following its actor Aamir Khan's comments on “India's growing intolerance” a few years ago.

It made our socio-political systems look absurd. After watching a film like “Forrest Gump,” you are bound to think how simple yet complicated it is to live ...

We have loved Amir Khan over the years and his body of work too, and that is why it feels strange to say that he probably misjudged the pitch of his character and the tonality of the same. Laal met Rupa and found out that she had a kid named Aman. He thought that she would have married some other guy, but Rupa told him he was the father of the kid. He told Laal that he was destined to die on the battlefield. The essence of the film is to see the man-made systems and their absurdities through the eyes of a man who had a pure soul and who took life as it is and kept it simple. The circle of life had completed one revolution, and it was time for a fresh chapter to begin. There was a lot of resentment, pain, and sadness that he was not able to deal with. Maybe he was running from his past, from his loneliness and from his regrets. He had lost both his legs and didn’t know whether to thank Laal for saving his life or curse him for subjecting him to living a life of such misery. It was 1999, and India was in a state of war with Pakistan. Laal and Bala were in the same battalion. Rupa told him that he couldn’t keep saving her throughout her life and that he would have to let her be. She prayed to her God to make her rich, so that one day she could make the violence stop and give her father all the money he needed. From that day onwards, wherever Laal had to go, he used to run and make it there.

Save a charming vignette in which young Laal (Ahmad Ibn Umar) teaches the actual Shah Rukh Khan his signature dance move, Chandan’s film doesn’t indulge too heavily in the protagonist-as-a-participant-in-the-tide-of-history gambit. Rather than a park bench, Laal spins his story in a crowded train carriage, the captive audience making more sense and generating more intensity than Zemeckis’ passing strangers. Starting in the ’70s rather than the ’50s, the story boasts some successful changes.

Here's a detailed report of how Aamir Khan and Kareena Kapoor's Laal Singh Chaddha has fared at the box office on Friday.

Stay tuned to Pinkvilla for more updates on the box office collections of Laal Singh Chaddha. After a low start, it was important for Laal Singh Chaddha to show a sub 15 percent drop, but with a 35 percent fall, the journey post-Independence Day will be a difficult one. There is a drop across the board with the national multiplex chains coming down by around 30 percent and the mass centres seeing a drop as high as 50 percent.

It's one among many love letters Aamir Khan has written to himself, seeking a utopia that only a few are comfortable with.

In both films, the neurodivergence of the protagonist is used to justify his apolitical nature. However, in the case of Gump, the film’s preoccupation with conflict is not something that is dealt with in isolation. The historical events that unfold in the backdrop of Gump’s life are not merely events, they are explanations for the choices characters like Jenny make. History, as we know it, is the memory of the collective. The NCERT, which dropped the 2002 Gujarat riots from its Class 12 Political Science syllabus earlier this year, explained its stance by stating that it wanted to “rationalise the course content, and avoid overlaps”. Perhaps the makers of Laal Singh Chaddha also underwent similar epiphanies, except that Kulkarni and Chandan’s carefully “curated” historical accuracy falls flat. This citizen could be Atul Kulkarni, Advait Chandan, or Aamir Khan — the writer, director and actor, respectively, of Laal Singh Chaddha, which hit the big screen on August 11.

Unlike the majority of the people on social media, the former England spinner’s call for a boycott is not based on Khan’s old statement, but on the ‘disgraceful’ content of the movie. Taking to the micro-blogging site, the former left-arm spinner described the adaptation as a “total disgrace” to the Indian Armed Forces and Sikhs. So far, the majority of these boycott calls have been based on Khan’s old remarks but now, former England cricketer Monty Panesar has supported these boycott calls, but for a different reason.
