Can we talk about the Varun-Kriti scene completely lifted from Love Actually? I might have been the only one in the room not laughing or cheering--I pretty much groaned aloud when it happened. Varun is cute, but he's no Andrew Lincoln. It's been ages since I've seen Love Actually - which scene you are referring to? |

That Love Actually scene rip-off was just blatant and not done well.
Here are my comments from the Recently Watched thread about Dilwale:
"Isn't it weird when you think you're going to love a movie and then really dislike it or the reverse? I thought I would love Prem Ratan Dhan Payo and didn't and I had very low expectations going into Dilwale, but I just watched Dilwale and really enjoyed it. I think the low expectations helped. Also a bearded SRK in a white henley that gets rained on....I'm not a SRK fangirl normally but if he looked like this in all of his movies from now on, I'd happily be a fangirl. No surprise, the best part was the SRK-Kajol chemistry and my concerns about her styling were unwarranted. She looked beautiful and age appropriate the whole film. I thought the hate/love story line was hot and the scene with the car on the cliff was OTT perfection. Varun and Kriti's story line was fine if underserved...their friends' romance was much cuter.
I'm surprised that of the big four films at the end of the year, so far Dilwale is my favorite and one I want to rewatch and own. Still have to watch Bajirao Mastani."
Some additional thoughts: I liked Johnny Lever and the comedy moments much more in this than I expected and am I right that the two uncles who owned the cafe were life partners? (If so, great!)
Varun is Uday Chopra in this! Having seen Badlapur, I know he's capable of better acting and he really needs to do more like that before his career starts to plateau. I, too, would have preferred a big group dance number at the end instead of the fight scene. The end credits number was disappointing but that "Janam Janam" song is beautiful even if chronologically SRK should have been bearded in that picturization (I know I'm a little fixated on SRK's beard).

*SPOILERS*
The movie was a mess. Rohit Shetty did a really poor job in term of story-telling and editing. It's as if he shot this movie guerilla style. Some things seemed so dated and it seemed to me that Rohit Shetty only wanted to ride on SRK-Kajol legacy to sell his movie. Every good moment was in the trailer...
SRK and Kajol were great in their roles and I can understand why Kajol would have been attracted to Dilwale to make her comeback. But the movie didn't leave any space to showcase more of their romance. It was such a good idea two lovers from two mafias families which are ennemies.
In K3G, Kareena and Hrithik had their romantic angle but it was SRK and Kajol's that was the centerpiece of the movie. Here Rohit Shetty fails to use the young pairing. Varun serves as comic relief (and his and Varun Sharma's gag are wearing thin the more you watch the movie) while Kriti has no screen presence and is only there to be pretty. When comparing this to K3G, the young pairs fails to leave an impression when the movie is over while Kareena and Hrithik's banters were fun to watch.
It would have been better if Kriti and Varun had met in Bulgaria which would have explained why they are so into each other because if I remember correctly the movie takes place in the spane of a week or two.
I'll conclude by saying that Rohit should have put less comedy in his movie and more action, drama and romance.
