Here’s a look at some of the biggest box-office disasters in recent times. This also marked the debut of Telugu actor Naga Chaitanya in Bollywood. Re-watched it just now and the feeling remains the same. I don’t know why creatively one thought it was wise to go the animated way through most of the film but I’ll always cherish the last hour of #LaalSinghChaddha," their comment read. Some think the audience was quick to judge the movie and that ‘hate took over logic’ for the time being. However, it has managed to gain quite a fan following among the OTT audience.

Laal Singh Chaddha: Aamir Khan's performance isn't the problem ... (The Indian Express)

Post Credits Scene: There's a lot wrong with Laal Singh Chaddha, but Aamir Khan's central performance isn't at the top of the list.

But despite the sweeping tonal shifts and the ever-evolving plot requirements, Khan remains determined in his commitment to what is the most unnecessarily over-designed lead character in any Hindi film this year. He was brave on the battlefront, but face-to-face with the love of his life, his voice barely rises above a whisper. He shows no such inhibitions in his interactions with Mohammad Paji, or even the train passengers that he is regaling with the story of his life. He’s a fully formed person, who through the course of the film, accumulates not only wealth, but also wisdom. Performances such as this are even more difficult to pull off because the actor is required to dance to a beat that isn’t instantly recognisable, but especially when the rest of the cast has been instructed to play it absolutely straight. But confronted with the very real possibility of losing Rupa, he’s more toned down, more careful; there’s a stillness to his physicality, which offers a poignant contrast to how animated he usually is. At this point, Laal is aware that he is a neurodivergent person, but crucially, he still perceives this as some kind of weakness, a personality flaw. He says he does, but you don’t believe him until Rupa walks away, and director Advait Chandan moves in for a close-up of Laal’s face, lingering briefly on the tears in his eyes. Mr Bean, as a character, was divisive because of his behaviour, but Laal is practically a saint. [a bad performance](https://indianexpress.com/article/entertainment/hollywood/house-of-gucci-jared-letos-horrendous-performance-singlehandedly-ruins-ridley-scotts-film-7650624/) is when an actor routinely hits the wrong notes, and fails to communicate the underlying emotion of the scene. Atkinson has described Mr Bean as “a child in a grown man’s body,” but the comparisons to Laal are purely superficial. [Aamir Khan](https://indianexpress.com/about/aamir-khan/)’s performance in [Laal Singh Chaddha](https://indianexpress.com/article/entertainment/movie-review/laal-singh-chaddha-movie-review-and-rating-aamir-khan-kareena-kapoor-naga-chaitanya-8084044/) is probably something that even the actor himself will not attempt to do (at least until the tide inevitably turns in his favour again).

From Laal Singh Chaddha To Shamshera: Big Budget, Massive Fail ... (ABP Live)

Hindi Cinema has been through its fair share of ups & downs for over a century. Fridays used to be a harbinger of brand-new stories, however, since the year ...

Hindi cinema needs to get hold of this to get the footfalls back. Flop Bollywood movies, which have decent content but offer little advantage for a large-screen experience, are underperforming at the box office. The entertainment industry came to a huge halt during Covid19 pandemic. The Kashmir Files, Bhool Bhulaiya 2, Gangubai Kathiawadi, and Brahmastra are the only films that have done well at the box office. New Delhi: Hindi Cinema has been through its fair share of ups and downs for over a century.
