Dilwale is not a good film by conventional standards. The plot holes are huge enough to park a truck (literally—many trucks appear). The villain is forgettable. The logic defies physics. But as a cultural artifact , it’s brilliant. It’s Bollywood doing what it does best: delivering a masala film that doesn’t apologize for being ridiculous. Watch it for “Gerua” (a genuinely beautiful song shot in Iceland), for Varun Dhawan’s comic timing, and for the sheer audacity of making a gangster revenge film that’s also a family drama that’s also a road trip comedy.
Friends, popcorn, and zero expectations. Shouting at the screen is encouraged. Would you like a more serious, plot-focused review instead? Dilwale Movie Full 2015
