Complete disappointment - nothing new !!!
Khan plays Laal as a caricature of an intellectually disabled protagonist.
Without a solid and compelling performance from Khan, the rest of the film is never going to work, but he is not helped by what is an incredibly lazy adaptation and direction from Kulkarni and Chandan. Much of the dialogue is lifted word for word from the original; minor changes exist, but only when absolutely necessary.
A box of chocolates becomes a box of golgappa, a popular street food; ice cream at the field hospital becomes kulfi, a popsicle-like dairy treat, and so on.
Chandan's direction similarly seeks to do little more than mimic the original, with dozens of shots directly lifted, almost as if he simply played the movie on set and asked his actors to make the exact same motions with the exact same camera moves.
