Blending excellent reporting and strong storytelling, this is a disturbing film truly stranger than fiction

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

Shouldn't have even bothered to go on a free ticket. Story - HORRIBLE
Acting - They did their best
Dialogue - STUPEFYING All in all, I lost 3 hours of my life to this garbage

Salman Khan and Sooraj Barjatya coming together after over two decades should have definitely been a momentous occasion for all fans but unfortunately it is not. The film is not bad but there is something missing as compared to the earlier Barjatya movies like Maine Pyar Kiya and Hum Aapke Hain Kaun.Story: Prem Ratan Dhan Payo (PRDP) has a simple plot and tells the story of a royal family, family feuds, power struggle among siblings, illegitimate children fathered by kings etc.The film has Salman Khan in a double role, which should certainly enhance its box office collections since you get 2 Salman's for the price of one (we could have done with a third one too if the plot had permitted !!!! )In one of his two roles, Salman is a Ramleela actor who, along with a friend (Deepak Dobriyal), finds himself in the middle of a plot to eliminate a righteous prince (also played by Salman) who is days away from his coronation. The would-be king has enemies in the palace. So a trusted minister (Anupam Kher) hatches a plot to save him by installing a lookalike in his place. The efforts put in by the lookalike in order to bring together the real prince's estranged family comprising of brother Neil Nitin Mukesh, 2 step sisters and his beautiful fiancée , Sonam Kapoor forms the crux of the plot.Cast: Salman plays both the roles earnestly namely: 1)Ramleela actor, Prem Dilwale who provides the much required comic relief in the film with his witty one-liners. 2)The righteous Prince Vijay who suffers a vicious attack on his life just days before his coronation.Sonam Kapoor: Looks great as she always does. Decent job done.Neil Nitin Mukesh: Looks great as the prince's estranged brother, but there are very few scenes where he can actually show his acting prowess. His role has either suffered at the editing table or it hasn't been properly etched out.Arman Kohli: Looks great for a change as the antagonist, but again like Neil Nitin Mukesh, does not have a role which can create an impact.Rest of the cast namely Anupam Kher, Swara Bhaskar, Deepak Dobriyal and others do a decent job. Sanskari Babuji (Alok Nath is sorely missed in the film!!)Songs: Too many of them in the film, apart from the lead number, all others are passable.Direction: Barjatya does a good job but has to remain in tune with the times as plot is stale and seems dated especially with scenes like the Price traveling on a horse carriage and the princess traveling in an ordinary train. VFX is used to create a magnificent Sheesh-Mahal at the edge of a menacing waterfall.You have to give him credit though for the tasteful recreation of Rajasthan's royalty which is enhanced by the great locales. See this movie if :1) you are a die hard Salman Khan fan 2) a true Sooraj Barjatya fan 3) Dimaag baju main rakhkar picture dekhne ki aadat hai. A normal trait seen among Salman fans .My Verdict :3 Stars ( 2 and a half for the movie and an additional half star for Prem Dilwale's earnestness)

First of all I'm very surprise to see so much negative comments for this movie,I'm very very surprise because for me this movie is the first movie from all of categories or Indians,Americans or other nationalities and from movies historie,that I love,I was thinking that it will be a nice Indian movie with some story or a boring Indian movie with bad songs and too theatrical,but guys this is a MASTERPIECE I usually like Indians movies but this one I Truly LOVE,THIS IS THE BEST MOVIE OF SALMAN KHAN AND THE BEST MOVIE EVER IN THE WORLD! It's so sad that first to criticize are Indian people,if you don't appreciate your own actors such like Salman Khan you don't respect yourself..we in Romania love your country and your movies,and all those beautiful,pure and unique tradition! I HOPE AND Truly PRAY TO SEE MORE MOVIES LIKE THIS SALMAN KHAN,RESPECT AND ALL THE LOVE FROM ROMANIA!

This movie is pure crap. I dunno why was this movie even made. This review may have spoilers *chuckles loudly*. This movie has nothing in terms of originality, the pacing is shoddy, the graphics are very bad, and some scenes are pure garbage, like the football scene, to which I hit my head in disgust. The acting is way over the top, and don't get me started on those rumors about Neil Nitin Mukesh. And to think that Salman Khan, who did the pretty great Bajrangi Bhaijaan, to come up with this piece of s**t, bravo! But you know, that's what he's been doing all these years. All the extravagance would be partially justified if there was at least a bit of story in it *Oh wait,Error 404: Story not found.* And it is sad that this has done pretty well in the box office, and it is bad for cinema.
