Bharat (भारत)

"Bharat (भारत)"

Watched Hindi movie Bharat (भारत). This film is directed by Ali Abbas Zafar. He had also written story and screenplay.  Produced by Atul Agnihotri & others. Music by Vishal-Shekhar. The film stars Salman Khan, Katrina Kaif, Disha Patani , Sunil Grover, Jackie Shroff, Sonali Kulkarni. Jackie Shroff and Tabbu have a first appearance. The film runs for about 2 and half hours. I watched it on Amazon Prime on 18th Jan 2020.

Bharat loses his father and sister in 1947 partition but has his other siblings and mother. The movie is about what he does in his life. 

The director basically considers the audience to be idiots. He thinks he can show anything and people will lap at it like hungry dogs. There is no story to this movie. Movie happens in patches. Each patch has nothing to do with other. Is it a movie about finding lost ones or is it about a shop or is it about Bharat or is it about a promise or is it about a watch or is it about live-in relationship or is it about something about everything.

Oil field looks more like mine. Although all workers use helmet in oilfield only Katrina (the supervisor) doesn't. Pirates don't rob the ship because they love Hindi movies. Salman becomes stuntman in circus. One day he decides to go to gulf as oil field labour. Then he decides to join merchant navy. Katrina is a recruitment officer. Suddenly she becomes oilfield supervisor. Then she becomes a news reader at Doordarshan. Then she becomes creative director of Zee TV.

70 years old Bharat doesn't look that old and similar aged Katrina looks fortyish. 70 year old Salman fights like a 24 year old while he has never fought earlier in the movie. 

There is no logic, no message and hardly any entertainment. I watched the movie because I wanted to write this review. 

Katrina looks beautiful with curly hair and spectacles but now it is time she starts acting and starts speaking proper Hindi, not influenced by English. Salman looks more like her dad than lover. Sunil Grover does well as Salman's sidekick. Other play sporting roles diligently. 

Music can be categorized as good because songs 'Slow motion' and 'Chashni' are good. 

Not a must watch.
