'Dilwale' Movie [REVIEW]: Director Rohit Shetty is the Real Hero

Directed by Rohit Shetty, Dilwale is going to release in India on Dec. 18, but the marketing expert, Shah Rukh Khan, released the film for his fans in Dubai just a day before.

Khan and Shetty earlier worked together in Chennai Express and it was a typical run-of-the mill film in terms of entertainment. The movie went on to earn $60 million worldwide. So, when the duo announced that they were doing a film together, the expectations were really high and based on the released promos, songs and the trailer, Dilwale managed to hold greater appeal than the more recently-released films in Bollywood.

WARNING: SPOILERS AHEAD

If you are a fan of both Khan and Kajol Devgan then the film will capture your emotions from the very beginning. The first half of the story is told in a flashback where we see Khan and Devgan are in their late twenties and their love is blossoming. Khan, who knows very well how to amaze his fans, is very charismatic, and Devgan, who shared screen with him on My Name is Khan, is looking drop dead gorgeous. Their chemistry is astounding but still, this is not Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge or Kuch Kuch Hota Hai chemistry. The great part of the narration is that Shetty has not tried to achieve that chemistry of Raj and Anjali or Raj and Simran; instead, in Dilwale, you will find a new Raj trying to impress a new Meera.

Raj and Meera are born into rival gangster families in Bulgaria but they could not stop themselves from falling in love with each other. The setting of two families takes you on a roller coaster ride, with car chases and guns blazing, and one can easily say that the action done by Shetty's team from India, South Africa and Bulgaria is top notch. Khan, who has done some pretty action sequences in films like Don, Don 2, and Main Hoon Na, is in a totally different role here.

With riding his black sedan and firing the enemies with his golden pistol, he is everything one can hope for.

When one reaches at the end of first part, Shetty has an ace up twist waiting for them. The two rival gangs come reach an accord to make peace so that Raj and Meera can rekindle their love. However, with a betrayal from someone close to them, this does not seem to happen.

The second part of Dilwale starts with introducing Varun Dhawan and Kriti Sanon. Dhawan, who is playing the role of Khan's younger brother in Dilwale, has no idea about his family's previous body of work because after a tragic incident Khan left everything behind him and started a huge automotive shop. With this, Dhawan and Sanon's chemistry isn't as good as Khan and Devgan's but one can still sit and watch him dancing on "Manma Emotion Jaage" – which was certainly enjoyable.

In the end, when Dhawan and Sanon's characters both realize that they are madly in love with each other, Shetty unveils yet another major twist.

The film is produced by Khan's Red Chillies Entertainment and the team has not compromised for a single second and even if Shetty is the hero behind the camera, one can easily spot him in each and every frame.

All in all, Khan's Dilwale was a joyride and you won't be disappointed after watching it. Dilwale is not your normal popcorn film, but it is a pure cinema as it has everything for which Bollywood is famous for: entertainment, action, catchy dalogues, songs ... and Khan.

Do watch it!
