A faithful adaptation that still finds the space to lean into specific cultural influences, deep history, and lovely visuals. Read full review

Laal Singh Chaddha is hardly a Terrence Malick-like contemplation of pacifist philosophy — it's ultimately a broad, sentimentalist opera designed to have audiences reaching for their handkerchiefs — but it does have a more complex and gentle point of view than the film it's remaking. Despite how corny it is, Laal Singh Chaddha it unexpectedly disarming. Read full review

It’s an enjoyable, super-faithful cover version but Laal Singh Chaddha is like a box of chocolates: you know exactly what you’re gonna get. Read full review

Aside from how unnecessary remakes tend to be, what’s imperative is to consider whether a story with such a simplistically offensive depiction of disability as an enchanting characteristic can have a place in today’s world, as we collectively try to move away from unchallenged amusement that thinks it’s uplifting even as it punches down.

The movie’s charms are limited by what comes to feel like a coddling conceit. Read full review

There isn’t enough that plays as all that funny in this version of the comic satire Groom cooked up. Read full review

Between the neutered and uninspired adaptation, the direction that seems satisfied relying on shots that already exist rather than building something new, and the gobsmacking, borderline offensive portrayal of the lead character by Khan, Laal Singh Chaddha is a big miss. Read full review

Fantastic Movie ! Thanks for this moment.

the photography and music are sublime. Aamir Khan confirms his status as a legend of Indian cinema but also worldwide. Very great acting performance. Special mention also for Laal's incredible Mom in her role

I was actually avoiding this movie for a while, borderline insulted by the attempt to remake the titanic epic Forrest Gump. I started watching it on a whim and was proven incredibly wrong. There are many ways to tell a timeless story, and this telling by director Advait Chandan is specialI was actually avoiding this movie for a while, borderline insulted by the attempt to remake the titanic epic Forrest Gump. I started watching it on a whim and was proven incredibly wrong. There are many ways to tell a timeless story, and this telling by director Advait Chandan is special and intimate. Aamir Khan embodies the clean purity of the character, the rarest of souls, a person free of greed, ego or malice. Such a pure angel has no choice but to touch every person they meet, and to change them for the better. His mannerisms and expressions are spectacular, he deserves recognition for this performance. The moments where he is overwhelmed by emotion are extremely moving and I was teary-eyed. I am not the biggest fan of Kareena and was not looking forward to her performance as the somewhat ungrateful Rupa, but she won me over. His earnestness and honesty with Laal were endearing, and her final actions all the more rewarding. Absolute hats off to Mona Singh for outstanding performance as the mother of Laal, the constant northern star in his storied and varied life. Her rooted practical approach to things beautiful and terrible reminds me of my own mother. The arc of this beautiful story is interwoven into the diverse history of India, a gigantic nation of a billion with thousands of people. The scriptwriters did a fabulous job integrating Laal’s journey into the most eventful turning points in recent Indian history. In particular, in the context of the religious strife tearing India apart today, the journey of Mohammad Paaji towards seeing the presence of God in the enemy, to knowing all are touched by the divine, is very important. The cinematography is breathtaking, and the vast expanses and spectacular beauty of India are beautifully captured in each frame. Finally, the soundtrack of Pritam washes over me like a warm scented breeze. I was worried about who could top the original masterpiece by Alan Silvestri, but master Pritam rises to the occasion with his own signature. Each song is memorable and worth a thousand listens. In my eyes, this remake stands as tall as the original Forrest Gump. I know the box office performance is lukewarm, but I think this movie will gain appreciation over time.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Those who have seen Forest Gump they should not see this or if they are going to watch the movie then remember things not to compare both the movie's there are some things missing in this Indian version if someone asks me my personal honest opinion then I will say that Lal singh Chadha is 7.9/10 and Forest Gump is 9.0/10 and please don't say it's bad without even seeing any of the films those who haven't watched Forest Gump and are a fan of drama or happy movies then you should definitely go because after all it teaches you many things about life just like forest gump did but the big thing is that it tells the problems faced during the riots in our country how people survived I have seen many people saying that it's bad but when I asked them that have they seen Forest Gump or Lal singh they said no then I asked them then how can you say that it's bad they replied that it's a remix so I told them there are 3 main reasons why remixes are made 1- The producers wants money the main reason.
2- Many of the audience have not seen the original one like the Indian parents or Grandparents people or those who can't understand English ( This is the main reason for the making of Lal singh chadda)
3- well there is no 3rd reason and if there is then I don't know that or I cannot remember it right now. Thank you for reading my review and I hope you liked it and can see the point I'm saying.… Expand

There are many reasons to not to see this movie:
