    Not great but one time watch for acting.

    The movie in the first half feels very dragged but in second half they give you the story, that time it grabs your attention.

    Coming to the first half, the main mistake I felt was right after the hero entry with an intense build, we get to see his girlfriend and then cut to song. I felt that breaks the attention that was getting built up for audience. The other mistake is having many fight scenes in the first half just to extend movie time.

    In second half, we get to see story, but one mistake was when they go back to past, I feel they should have written "few months back" because it was a sudden jump, and it was confusing. But they do show "today" after the past scene is over.

    Overall movie - was fine, not a great story. Acting wise everyone did a great job. Seeing Rajnikanth sir first time as a Muslim person was absolute joy. He did full justice to his role. The hero and supporting actors everyone did a great job. Cinematography was also really good with some scenes focused on the village (and more, I don't want to give spoilers) Definitely, one time watch for the actors' beautiful performance.

    A Missed Opportunity with a Weak Execution

    I went into Lal Salaam with high hopes, but the film left me deeply disappointed. While the premise had potential, the execution lacked depth and coherence. The storyline felt disjointed, and the characters failed to make any meaningful impact.

    The pacing was uneven, with many scenes dragging unnecessarily, making the film feel much longer than it needed to be. The dialogues, instead of being impactful, came across as bland and uninspired. Even the performances by the lead cast, who are usually dependable, seemed half-hearted and lacked conviction.

    Technically, the film had some good visuals and decent music, but they couldn't save the experience from feeling hollow. It's a shame because the themes the movie aimed to explore deserved far better treatment.

    Unfortunately, Lal Salaam ends up being an unmemorable and tedious watch. It's hard to recommend this one.

    Poor writing. Would've been good if it was made in the 1990s

    Whenever a director has to use voiceover to move the plot forward, it's a sign of poor storytelling. In this movie the director uses voice over to tell us what is happening on screen. Unnecessary symbolism sprinkled in to make it seem like an art film, but it needs a more talented story teller to pull it off. The non-linear story telling doesn't have any suspense either as there are barely any stakes.

    Vishnu Vishal and Vikrant are completely wasted. The supporting cast is forgettable. Even Rajinikanth seems to be phoning his performance in.

    People who've seen this will have more appreciation for Darbar and Jailer. This movie isn't even worth watching on OTT.

    Well handled narrative👏

    Why well handled narrative?

    First of all I appreciate the Director & Producer for their guts to make a project like this. Hope this will make other creators to choose such a challenging concept. Whatever the flaws , the movie is a must watch because : 1. It's a sensitive plot , which is handled very well throughout.

    2. To encourage the creators to do more projects like this(which will change many things in this society ) 3. To feel the power of humanity.

    4. To believe in unity.

    Moreover the main message I got through the movie is " Humanity & peace is greater than all other nonsense religion/cast whatever". As a social animal it's our responsibility to be united & protect the nature.

    Collecting crores together doesn't mean it's a good movie , but giving useful messages & information like this to the society make a movie good.

    Jai Hind🇮🇳 -With regards GRK.
