Laal Singh Chaddha Movie Review: The legacy of Tom Hanks슬롯사이트� Forrest Gump is not an ordinary one. Just like how the film told an extraordinary story about an extraordinary man, the film itself has gone through quite the journey in the pop culture sphere. With the story of Forrest and Jenny touching the hearts of many back in 1994, now almost 28 years later this classic of Robert Zemeckis has been remade through the vision of Aamir Khan and Advait Chandan. The results? Well, not 슬롯사이트œall izzz well슬롯사이트� with Laal Singh Chaddha, but it still packs enough punch that the original film is honoured in a respectful way.슬롯 머신 사이트 추천Laal Singh Chaddha First Reviews Out! Aamir Khan, Kareena Kapoor Khan슬롯사이트™s Forrest Gump Remake 슬롯사이트˜Stands on Its Own슬롯사이트�, Say Critics.
Directed by Advait Chandan and from a script by Atul Kulkarni, Laal Singh Chadda is a remake of Forrest Gump. The movie follows Laal Singh Chaddha (Aamir Khan), a dim-witted boy who goes on a journey experiencing some of India슬롯사이트™s biggest historical moments and achieving extraordinary feats that makes him larger than life. Within that we have a blooming romance with Rupa (Kareena Kapoor Khan), Laal슬롯사이트™s childhood friend, and the movie very much focuses on that aspect in the same way Forrest Gump did with Jenny (Robin Wright) and Tom Hanks슬롯사이트� titular hero.
Khan and Kapoor슬롯사이트™s duo is an instant hit. These actors have showcased their impeccable chemistry before in 3 Idiots, and here again, the chemistry elevates the movie.슬롯 머신 사이트 추천The pair makes their scenes a슬롯 머신 사이트 추천compelling watch, sometimes, heart-wrenching, and at times, feel like a kick in the gut. Where the problem lies, though, is in the performance of Aamir Khan.
While there are moments where the actor has to be a bit more grounded and showcase emotions, he soars like a plane in the sky, but unfortunately those moments are very limited. Throughout the movie I felt that Aamir was portraying the same character he played from PK, and it just didn슬롯사이트™t work. Where Hanks was more subtle with portrayal of Forrest, Khan goes슬롯 머신 사이트 추천way overboard with his expressions (the trailers did warn us of it, and sadly, the film doesn't change the opinion much)슬롯 머신 사이트 추천and his performance doesn슬롯사이트™t come out as effective as it should have been. One could make an argument that you슬롯사이트™re trying to stand apart from the original portrayal, however why even try that when a perfect blueprint is already there. As a matter of fact, Ahmad Ibn Umar who portrayed Young Laal was able to emulate Hanks better than Aamir was.
Watch The Trailer:
The supporting cast, thankfully, elevates the movie. Mrs Chaddha슬롯사이트™s emotionally charged story was portrayed wonderfully by Mona Singh who became an instant standout. Might just add her into my list of best movie moms. In the same way, Naga Chaitanya슬롯사이트™s Bala was an amazing addition who took the place of Bubba from the first film and Kareena Kapoor Khan슬롯사이트™s Rupa was a treat to watch in the way she honored Wright슬롯사이트™s Jenny with her own take. Manav Vij슬롯사이트™s Mohammad Paaji is also a surprise while underutilised, and an effective cameo from슬롯 머신 사이트 추천Shah Rukh Khan makes for a crowd-pleasing moment.
The story of Laal Singh Chaddha is where things start running into trouble again. Just like Aamir슬롯사이트™s performance, there are moments of excellence and tear-jerking moments here, but those are layered under a rather loud portrayal that lets go all the subtlety of the original.
The first half was when the movie was at its best where we went across from some of the bleakest moments in history of our nation to Laal coming into his own. The second half, though, loses슬롯 머신 사이트 추천track of itself and creates for a muddled viewing where some topics are not handled well or are breezed through. Thankfully, the third act picks itself up in the final few moments and closes the film on a poignant note.
While the themes did have a payoff to them and the jokes were funny, Laal Singh Chaddha also tries way too hard to capture the magic of Forrest Gump. There are슬롯 머신 사이트 추천ditto recreations of certain scenes and in others,슬롯 머신 사이트 추천they try to do add their own twist. In both the cases, they often fail more than succeed.슬롯 머신 사이트 추천Aamir Khan Talks About 슬롯사이트˜Boycott Laal Singh Chaddha슬롯사이트� Controversy, Says 슬롯사이트˜If I Have Hurt Anyone by Any Means, I Regret It슬롯사이트�.
What keeps the entire thing going though is the passion that does ooze into the screen. It슬롯사이트™s very clear that those behind the camera have tonnes of respect for Forrest Gump. When certain moments are supposed to hit, they do hit. It슬롯사이트™s also beautifully shot by Satyajit Pande who captures vivid and powerful images through the camera. The songs by Pritam and score by Tanuj Tiku are also bright enough where they elevated many scenes and had me tearing up.
Yay!

Final Thoughts
Is Laal Singh Chaddha worth watching? Absolutely, though there are times where 'missed potential' is a re-occurring thought. Still overcoming those odds, watching this story that is ultimately about empathy and being the best of what we can be as humans was definitely rewarding. Laal Singh Chaddha is playing in theatres now.
