Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

"Billu" is a bit slow and a simple film that tries to establish a relationship between the stardom and real life and presents a story of friendship. Storywise the film is simple and remains humble, and characters look simply down to earth and is quite well performed by Irfan Khan, Lara Dutta, and Shahrukh Khan. Few dialogues try to illustrate the line of separation between film fantasy and real life. This humble story can be appreciated for its simplicity, but the slow pace and unnecessary dragging of the film at the middle somehow makes it boring. Anyway. though the film is on a whole a bit an unmemorable time passer, its attempt to present the friendship between a poor barber and a film star is appreciable.Rating: 2 stars out of 4

I love this movie! It is so beautiful and amazing. The character development is believable and it allows the audience to go through all the stages of the protagonist's life. It creates a strong bond between the viewer and the characters, so whenever the protagonist goes through something difficult or wonderful you can really feel it. The acting is really good, and the plus is there is a lot of singing and dancing (as this is a bollywood movie) and it just makes you in a good mood. The whole struggle of two best friends drifting apart is very relatable, and I think most people have found themselves in that situation at some point in time. The point however is to never give up on someone you love, no matter what. This movie has comedy, romance, singing and dancing, what more can you ask for? I recommend this movie to everyone who like bollywood movies, or who would like to start watching them. It is one of my all-time favourite movies!

Billu succeeds in maintaining the primary storyline of the movie throughout. But it does feel dragged and could have probably benefited by introduction of a few more characters and taking some unintended characters out. The cop playing his dialogues out was far from entertaining. And having to see Billu making a go/no-go decision is kind of tiresome if it continues with every frame. The movie does have a few pluses with Irfan giving a pretty good performance, and Lara Dutta not overdoing her role and the scenes between the parents and their children. SRK is his usual self as was demanded by the role - on a caffeine high. 6/10.

This movie is absolutely terrible. Priyadarshan seems to have lost his touch. I can't believe this is the same director who made movies like Hera Pheri.The idea of the movie is quite novel. But the problem is the execution. The movie is super-slow. The same things keep repeatedly, until you are too bored to yawn !! The movie really needed much slicker editing.There are some light moments. Some joes actually do feel funny. However it is like a diamond in coal mine. Believe me spare yourself the torture and spend the 2 hours some place better !
