Laal Singh Chaddha review

Bollywood’s highly-anticipated film Laal Singh Chaddha, which created quite a stir on social media, was released on August 11. It is the adaptation of the Academy-winning film Forrest Gump featuring Tom Hanks and Robin Wright and stars Aamir Khan, Kareena Kapoor Khan, and Mona Singh in the lead roles.

Before the release of Laal Singh Chaddha, social media users called and are still calling for its boycott for several reasons. However, despite the cancel culture, the film hit the silver screen on Friday.

Helmed by Advait Chandan, Laal Singh Chaddha also features Naga Chaitanya in an important role.

The film is already out and so are the reviews. Here’s a look at what leading news websites have to say about Laal Singh Chaddha.

Laal Singh Chaddha review by NDTV

Reviewed by Saibal Chatterjee, Laal Singh Chaddha got 3 out of 5 stars by NDTV. For Chatterjee, the Aamir Khan starrer is watchable and flaws notwithstanding.

“Laal Singh Chaddha, the sophomore venture of director Advait Chandan (Secret Superstar), places the protagonist against the backdrop of major political developments of contemporary Indian history from the lifting of the Emergency in 1977 to the Anna Hazare anti-corruption movement of 2011,” reviewed NDTV.

Laal Singh Chaddha review by The Hindu

Anuj Kumar, in his review, said Advait Chandan’s film hardly asks any tough questions, almost tutors the audience, and doesn’t allow the visuals to communicate. The headline read, ‘Aamir Khan valiantly runs towards safety.’

“Advait is competent but is like that efficient factory worker who has to make a new product from an old dye. One wonders whether Raj Kumar Hirani and Abhijat Joshi would have been a better choice to bring Forrest closer home,” reviewed The Hindu.

Laal Singh Chaddha review by The Indian Express

Shubhra Gupta, in her review, said it’s not just the pace of the film which is the trouble but it is also centrally and crucially, Sardar Laal Singh Chaddha himself, as played by Aamir Khan. The leading daily gave 2 out of 5 stars to Forrest Gump’s adaptation.

“Aamir Khan falls back on easy crutches in a meandering tale,” reviewed The Indian Express.

Laal Singh Chaddha review by Times of India

Giving out 3.5 stars out of 5 to Laal Singh Chaddha, Renuka Vyavahare, in her review, said the film verbalises Forrest Gump’s musings on life, love, morality, and destiny.

“It opts for speech over silent tears so expect a perpetually wide-eyed Aamir Khan doing a lot of Punjabi accent with PK’s body language and enthusiasm. He sets the tempo of this film a bit higher, that of a big-ticket Hindi feature film but retains the essence of the original — a Disney-like fairy-tale without the luxury of magic but an ingrained belief in miracles,” reviewed Times of India.

Laal Singh Chaddha review by Pinkvilla

Avinash Lohana gave 3 stars out of 5 to Laal Singh Chaddha and wrote that Aamir Khan, Kareena Kapoor, and Naga Chaitanya’s film has its heart in the right place.

“Considering the stature of the original, it’s hard to not compare Laal Singh Chaddha with Tom Hanks’ Forrest Gump. But even after that, Aamir Khan and his team manage to live up to the original and present an entertaining watch. Those who will be seeing it as a standalone film will be pleasantly surprised,” reviewed Pinkvilla.

Laal Singh Chaddha by India Today

Nairita Mukherjee, in her review, said the worst thing about Laal Singh Chaddha is Aamir Khan.

“The method actor who made method acting common parlance now resorts to grunts and more grunts in his reinterpretation of Forrest Gump, a role synonymous with Tom Hanks from the film of the same name,” reviewed India Today.

Bollywood’s one of the most versatile actors, Randeep Hooda, is gearing up for the release of his next film, Swatantra Veer Savarkar. The makers of the film are now fully committed to promoting the film online. The excitement was heightened when Randeep Hooda revealed a photo of his drastic makeover for the film. In addition to becoming widely viral, the image left netizens in shock.

Randeep Hooda took to his Instagram account today and posted a monochrome photo of himself taking a mirror selfie. The actor in the picture appears to have shed a significant amount of weight in preparation for his role in Swatantra Veer Savarkar.

Based on the striking difference in appearance, it can be assumed that the Kick actor has lost enough weight to reveal his hipbone and rib cage. As a matter of fact, his forehead seems to be larger. Sharing the image, the actor captioned the photo, Kaala Paani.

Soon after the post went viral, people praised the actor’s commitment and couldn’t stop gushing over him. A user compared him to actor Christian Bale. Damn, our own Christian Bale Nailed it, the fan commented. Christian Bale of Bollywood, another fan called him. Wow Randeep bro proud of you, a third admirer said, expressing pride in him. A forth user called him a true inspiration. Others also dropped the red heart and fire emojis in the comment section.

A few days ago, on the 26th death anniversary of the late politician Veer Savarkar, Randeep posted photographs and shocking information on his Instagram handle, sharing that he had spent time in jail to understand what the politician and activist may have gone through. However, the actor did acknowledge that he was unable to remain there for even 20 minutes.

Ranjit Savarkar, the grandson of Savarkar, revealed a day ago that during Randeep’s jail time in the Andaman cellular jail, he had lost up to 30 kg of weight in order to resemble the late freedom fighter. In addition, he praised the actor for his commitment to the part and expressed gratitude for bringing the freedom fighter’s story to the big screen.

Meanwhile, in the film, Ankita Lokhande will be seen playing a significant role as Yamunabai as well. The film is slated to hit theaters on March 22, 2024.
