Secret Superstar - 2017
The film is a adaptation of a Hollywood film Forrest Gump (1994). It was a big superhit. Aamir Khan literally struggled for ten years to get the rights of the film, only to make a disaster out of it.
Plus points
1) Bharat darshan is only thing we should be thankful for as Aamir Khan showed us almost all parts of India (Kashmir, Ladakh, Rajasthan, Kanyakumari, Sikkim, Punjab).
The locations are scenic. Great photography! Even though the photography could not save the film from turning into a disaster, hope it helps in increasing mumbai tourism and economy of our country in one way or another.
Minus points
1) Aamir Khan has potrayed his own journey of last 50 years, but failed miserably. His body language, speech, walk and everything does not connect with the character he plays. He fails to connect like his earlier characters. He tries hard but dissapoints.
Mona Singh portrayed as Aamir’s mothers is a big misfit. Mentally too, audience won’t accept a 20 year young actress playing a mother of a 57 year old man ( He tried hard to look 30).
Kareena Kapoor has nothing much to do. Wonder she signed up for it! Nag Chaitanya also disappoints with his hindi debut. In short, the whole starcast is a misfit.
2) Director (Advait Chandan) first film Secret Superstar was a superhit. Maybe he thought that remakes don't need good direction and just directed one without putting in any effort. His direction is weak. Film is tedious to watch.
3) Though it is a remake of a superhit film but the fact is that the story is 30 years old and seen by large number of viewers. Times have changed and so have the content and choices of the viewers.
Aamir Khan should have thought of a fresh subject instead of copying. No one is interested in seeing emergency (1975), Indira Gandhi assignation, 1984 Delhi riots, Babri masjid demolition, 1992 Bomb blast, LK Advani's Rath Yatra, Anna Hazare's protest of 2013 in Ram Leela maidaan and many more unpleasant incident after spending thousand of rupees in theaters.
All such incidents taken from history are forcefully inserted into the drama. Audience expects something refreshing not a stale, cold and rotten story. Dialogues are ordinary.
Forrest Gump fits in the US Army because the US was recruiting low IQ men to meet requirements for the Vietnam War. The recruits were called McNamara Morons.
India never recruited morons in its army !!
This movie is a total disgrace to India Armed Forces and Sikhs! Also, the Entire Rupa underwear episode is boring and looks fake.
4) It’s a real torture for viewers to sit for 164 minutes. Pathetic editing!
5) Music is as tortorous as the film.
6) Film shows Aamir Khan narrating his story to the co- passenger in the train who finds his story fake. He makes fun of him when he says Shah Rukh Khan copied his ionic style of dancing. What made Shah Rukh do a cameo is a really mystery! Whenever Srk does does guest role, film gets bombed.
7) Too much money has been spent on VFX to show a man of 57 look younger. But sadly, even VFX could not hide the actual age of the characters.
It’s really sad the way Bollywood is moving. They really need to buckle up or the list of such disasters will keep on increasing.
Box Office Verdict
The film has a disclaimer of 6 minutes which will surely lead it to Guinness Book of World Record.
Film is a disaster with negative mouth of publicity. It’s a sure shot flop! It would have been better if Aamir would have not wasted 10 years for a rotten subject.
We will surely pray for the section of viewers who will dare to watch the film at their own risk.
Aamir Khan ke ek chamche ne bol diya ki Sir, Forest Gump Mein Jo Tom Hanks Ne acting ki hai aap usse Behtar kar sakte hain. lihaja Aamir ki Lag Gaye film ki right lene ke liye. Aur 10 saal jute ghisne ke baad unko is film ke rights mile aur ek torture film bana dee.
2018 ke bad Aamir ki yeh film aayi hai. Fir Bhi audience film dekhna nahi chahti.
