The trailer of the movie received mixed reactions, with people criticising Aamir’s Punjabi accent as well as the similarity to his expressions in PK, where he played an alien.

Laal Singh Chaddha Review: आमिर खान ने सब जीत लिया, लाल सिंह ... (आज तक)

Laal Singh Chaddha Review: आमिर खान की फिल्म लाल सिंह चड्ढा सिनेमाघरों में रिलीज हो चुकी है.

ये बात सच है कि लाल सिंह चड्ढा को अंग्रेज़ी फ़िल्म 'फ़ॉरेस्ट गम्प' का हिंदी संस्करण कहा जाएगा. लेकिन अतुल कुलकर्णी द्वारा लिखी गयी ये फ़िल्म उस अंग्रेज़ी पिक्चर से बहुत आगे की चीज़ है. भूल जाइये कि अपने फ़ॉरेस्ट गम्प देखी है. याद भी होगी, तो समझ में आएगा कि ये अनोखा मामला है. इस फ़िल्म में ऐसा कोई सुपर-स्टार नहीं है जो लिरिक्स के बगैर डांस करते हुए माहौल सेट कर दे. इस फ़िल्म में कोई ऐसा स्टार नहीं है जो बस अपनी बाहें खोले, और लोग बेहोश हो जाएं. इन सभी चीज़ों के बावजूद, लाल सिंह चड्ढा वो फ़िल्म है जो आपको पकड़ के रखेगी. सिर्फ़ आपको ही नहीं, आपके परिवार को भी. आप इसे देखने जायेंगे और अपने फ़ैमिली ग्रुप में सभी को ये फ़िल्म देखने को कहेंगे. 'भाग, लाल, भाग!' - ये बात उससे अलग-अलग तरीक़े से, उसके कई दोस्त कहते हैं. वो अपने इन सभी दोस्तों से भयानक प्रेम करता है. लाल सिंह अपनी पूरी यात्रा में हमें सिखाता है कि हम लोगों के साथ भयानक किस्म का प्रेम कर सकते हैं. भयानक प्रेम. बस! लाल सिंह चड्ढा असल में विकलांग (आप चाहें तो दिव्यांग कह सकते हैं) है. लेकिन उसकी मां (मोना सिंह) इस बात में विश्वास रखती है कि उसका बेटा किसी से भी कम नहीं है. यहीं से 'लाल' स्थापित होना शुरू होता है. यहीं से 'लाल' की कहानी शुरू होती है. लाल सिंह के जीवन में ऐसे लोगों की ज़रूरत मालूम देती है, जो उसे आगे बढ़ने के लिये धक्का देने के लिये ज़रूरी होते हैं. डॉक्टर, लड़की, बराबर हैं. उसे दौड़ने के लिये उसकी दोस्त रूपा ने कहा था - "भाग, लाल, भाग!" ये इस फ़िल्म का सूत्रवाक्य बनके आगे आता है. हम इसे छोड़ नहीं सकते. चूंकि सेंट्रल कैरेक्टर का नाम हमें शुरू में ही मालूम चल जाता है, हमें पहले 20 मिनट में समझ आ जाता है कि ये फ़िल्म एक बायोग्राफ़ी है.

Laal Singh Chaddha: A 'Phipty-Phipty' Approach to Crucial – and ... (The Wire)

Aamir Khan sometimes falls into his familiar clichés, but when he gets to the grip of the character, he shines.

Towards the end in fact, when the country recedes in the background, Laal looks like a disconnected ghost, unwittingly complementing the persona of his long-distance runner. The new name is a masterstroke – appropriately Indian and charming (I won’t reveal it here, for you must find out yourself) – but makes little sense in the world of hard business. The writing regains its purpose and momentum through a long Kargil War stretch featuring a twist missing in the original. It’s fittingly from a film that, challenging the status quo, perhaps wouldn’t even have been conceived today: “Thoda khao, thoda phenko.” There’s a pensive Khan (Dhobi Ghat), an eye-dilating Khan (3 Idiots), a stunned-eye Khan (PK), and so on. The movie takes a sharp turn from here due to two broad reasons: a) Khan enters the film for the first time in its chronological sweep, and b) it starts taking a “phipty-phipty” approach. Worse, the age difference between the actor and his character swings from two-and-a-half to three-and-a-half decades – it’s not just sloppy but embarrassing. It’s preceded by a charming comedic bit, where Laal teaches Shahrukh Khan (playing himself) his signature, iconic pose – a hat-doff to the Tom Hanks movie where Forrest inspired Elvis Presley. These choices are sharp, recognising the original and embracing the local. Then there’s Khan. An impressive actor with a versatile filmography, he sometimes gets ‘stuck’ in a mode that lasts the entire movie. In 1983, Laal proposes marriage to his friend, Rupa, who gets distracted by the sounds of crackers – celebrating the country’s World Cup win – leaving him alone with his question. By making a Sikh man the centre of their film, they intend to tell the story of a marginalised India, a wounded India. It devotes 40-odd minutes, around one-fourth of the total runtime, on the boy, shunning any hurry to bring in the superstar. The Aamir Khan-starrer chooses, to borrow a phrase from actor Johnny Walker, a “phipty-phipty” approach.

The worst thing about Laal Singh Chaddha is Aamir Khan | Review (India Today)

Aamir Khan's pet project, Laal Singh Chaddha, an official Hindi adaptation of Tom Hanks' Forrest Gump hits the theatres today, August 11.

Perhaps if the makers hadn't really called it the official Hindi adaptation of Forrest Gump, and just another movie like Salman Khan's Bharat - which, by the way, is very Forrest Gump-like - Laal Singh Chaddha would have appealed more. At what point during the making of Laal Singh Chaddha, one the actor himself admitted took him close to a decade and a half to make, did Aamir decide to reimagine Forrest's developmental disability as a mental disability in Laal, defeats me. The zeal and confidence she instils in Forrest are defeated by the typical Maa funda in Laal Singh Chaddha - shielding her son from all the communal riots that ripped India apart in the 80s and 90s by teaching him 'desh mein malaria faila hua hai'. The makers do tie it up later with one of the most pragmatic lines in the film - dharam se malaria failta hai - but it came far too late, and we were bored. I don't mind the fact that the box of chocolates is now replaced by golgappas - in fact, I'll say it adds quite the Indian tadka. The official Hindi adaptation of this Hollywood classic, Laal Singh Chaddha, much like that iconic buoying white feather, common in both films, floats but each time it lands at Aamir's shoes, is simply trampled upon. Aamir Khan's last great performance, some say, was Dangal. For me, it was Ghajini. It is ironic, therefore, that the actor, like the protagonist of the Memento remake, has forgotten what 'acting' is.

Here, apart from the anti-Sikh riots that affect a young Chaddha, the rest of the socio-political churn fails to create emotional upheaval. But somehow Kulkarni could not imbue the screenplay with the fragrance of the Indian soil. Over the last three decades, with the shift in culture and advancement in cinematography, the Robert Zemeckis fable has lost some of its feel-good quality and technical brilliance.

Laal Singh Chaddha Review : आमिर खान ने फिर दिखा दिया क्यों हैं वो ... (ABP News)

Laal Singh Chaddha Review : आमिर खान (Aamir Khan) 3-4 साल में आते हैं और जब आते हैं कमाल करते हैं.

लाल सिंह चड्ढा अतुल कुलकर्णी ने फिल्म की कहानी लिखी है और शानदार तरीके से लिखी है.फिल्म का फर्स्ट हाफ तो बहुत कमाल का है.आपकी आंखें कई बार नम होती हैं. आप हंसते भी हैं...रोते भी हैं..हैरान भी होते हैं...सेकेंड हाफ थोड़ा स्लो है और लगता है कि लव स्टोरी वाला एंगल लंबा कर दिया गया और उसे छोटा किया जा सकता था, लेकिन ये लव स्टोरी लाल की जिंदगी का काफी अहम हिस्सा है. फिल्म का म्यूजिक अच्छा है और फिल्म की पेस को आगे बढ़ाता है. आमिर की इस फिल्म के बॉयकॉट की मांग जोर शोर से हो रही है, लेकिन बॉयकॉट करने वालों की बात करने वालों को भी पहले ये फिल्म देखनी चाहिए क्योंकि अच्छे सिनेमा को अच्छा ट्रीटमेंट जरूर मिलना चाहिए. लाल सिंह चड्ढा रिव्यू आमिर खान की एक्टिंग को शायद रिव्यू नहीं किया जा सकता, लेकिन फिल्म का ट्रेलर आने के बाद कई तरह की बातें हुईं कि आमिर तो अपनी ही फिल्मों की कॉपी कर रहे हैं, लेकिन लाल सिंह चड्ढा देखकर आपको ऐसा नहीं लगेगा. आप आमिर के कायल हो जाएंगे. ट्रेन में गोल गप्पे कैसे आए इसका जवाब भी मिल जाएगा. आमिर एक-एक फ्रेम में छाए हुए हैं.उनका बचपन से अधेड़ उम्र तक का सफर कमाल तरीके से दिखाया गया है. छोटे आमिर खान ने भी कमाल की एक्टिंग की है और बड़े वाले तो हैं ही लाजवाब.करीना कपूर का काम अच्छा है हालांकि उनका रोल थोड़ा कम होना चाहिए था. नागा चैतन्य आपका दिल जीत ले जाते हैं. आर्मी का ये जवान चड्डी बनियान का बिजनेस करना चाहता है और उसकी प्लानिंग का तरीका आपका दिल जीत लेता है. आमिर की मां के किरदार में मोना सिंह का काम अच्छा है. मोहम्मद पाजी के किरदार में मानव बिज का काम भी अच्छा है और शाहरुख खान का गेस्ट अपीयरेंस तो दिल जीत लेता है. कुल मिलाकर एक्टिंग के मामले में ये फिल्म शानदार है लाल सिंह चड्ढा बचपन से चल नहीं पाता और उसमें समझ की भी कमी है.चलना तो वो सीख जाता है.दौड़ना भी सीख जाता है लेकिन समझ अभी भी कम है, लेकिन तब भी वो जिंदगी में कमाल करता है. आर्मी में जाता है और बहुत कुछ ऐसा करता है जो आपको प्रेरित करता है और काफी कुछ सिखा जाता है. वो इश्क करता है तो शिद्दत से करता है पर क्या उसे उसका प्यार मिल पाता है? ये देखने के लिए आपको लाल सिंह चड्ढा जरूर देखनी चाहिए. Laal Singh Chaddha Review : आमिर खान (Aamir Khan) 3-4 साल में आते हैं और जब आते हैं कमाल करते हैं...इस बार लाल सिंह चड्ढा को लेकर माहौल जरा नेगेटिव बना हुआ है. फिल्म हॉलीवुड फिल्फ फॉरेस्ट गंप (Forrest Gump) का रीमेक है और इस वजह से नहीं किन्हीं और ही वजहों से फिल्म के बॉयकॉट की मांग हो रही है, लेकिन अगर आप सिनेमा से प्यार करते हैं तो इस फिल्म को बॉयकॉट मत कीजिएगा.

Let us not even go into the implausibility of how a trained Indian Army soldier cannot differentiate between his own brothers in the Army and the enemies.

Sure, there are the usual Bollywood mouthpieces singing praises for the movie, but since the movie releases just ahead of a long weekend, it may even pick up the pace and get some commercial success. After the opening, it seems the movie has taken liberties with the storyline to peddle Aamir Khan’s usual anti-Hindu propaganda that he is known for. The good terrorist is shown doing Namaz, (Lt Dan was an atheist and he later made peace with God, that was one of the best sub narratives in Forrest Gump) and our Laal Singh declares that Puja Path is useless, they only spread ‘malaria’. And thus, Gary Sinise’s legendary, historic character from Forrest Gump becomes an Islamist terrorist, a ‘good’ person apparently because that is what Aamir Khan and Atul Kulkarni the writer wants Indians to swallow. India Today’s review of the movie has called out Aamir Khan’s bad acting performance. Aamir Khan’s comeback film Laal Singh Chaddha has been given a thumbs down by several critics.

Slow start for 'Laal Singh Chaddha,' 'Raksha Bandhan', experts bank ... (Business Today)

After a spate of box office duds coming from Bollywood, a lot is riding on the fate of Aamir Khan's Laal Singh Chaddha and Akshay Kumar's Raksha Bandhan.

While Bollywood’s performance has been dismal, four successive super-hits from the South—Pushpa: The Rise Part-1, RRR, KGF: Chapter 2 and Vikram (to a much smaller extent in Hindi as Vikram: Hitlist)—have grossed more than Rs 3,000 crore worldwide, including nearly Rs 800 crore in Hindi net collections. On the other hand, Raksha Bandhan is estimated to open with Rs 9 crore on day one and may end up reporting lifetime collection of Rs 80-90 crore. We maintain that Hindi Box Office is slated to decline 22 per cent (vs pre COVID levels) in Q2FY23, as content has been below par so far and we are already the end of first half of the quarter, with no film reporting a positive surprise,” he said. His only hit during this period has been Sooryavanshi (Nov 5, 2021), which was made on a production budget of about Rs 160 crore and earned a net lifetime collection of Rs 196 crore in India and Rs 295 crore gross worldwide collections, according to Bollywood Hungama. Elara Capital’s vice president Karan Taurani says expects Laal Singh to have a stronger opening with Rs 16 crore, and a lifetime collection of Rs 150-160 crore. Seven of the top 10 grossers in this span were from the South, pegs Ormax Media data. Trade analyst Komal Nahta says they are both costly, big-banner and well-mounted films, which are coming when Bollywood is reeling under the pressure of losses. Raksha Bandhan, on the other hand, saw advance booking of 35,000 tickets sold for Day 1 at the box office with a total collection of approx. The film is produced by Zee Studios and director Aanand L. Rai at an approximate budget of over Rs 70 crore. In terms of all India sales, the film, which is an official remake of the hit Hollywood film Forrest Gump, has sold approximately 57,000 tickets for the opening day. For last few weeks, the film was facing social media backlash and boycott calls because of old statements of Aamir Khan, who has also produced the film along with Viacom18 studios. Over the next eight days, there are four holidays owing to Raksha Bandhan, a long weekend including Independence Day, followed by Janmashtami and Parsi New Year which may be partial holidays.

Called Mr Perfectionist for a reason, Aamir gives his 100% and delivers the best he could to the character written for him. Complimenting Laal is the flawless Kareena Kapoor as his love interest Rupa D'Souza, who looks beautiful in every frame. The box of chocolate gets replaced by a box of golgappas.

On the train, Laal narrates his life experiences to a receptive bunch of listeners. The bus stop bench of Forrest Gump is replaced here with a train compartment - rail voyages are known to fuel many a timeless story in this diverse country. This lovely sequence - a wonderfully localised twist that is bound to bring an unadulterated smile to every lip - stands in for the Elvis Presley encounter that Forrest Gump has with the future King of Rock & Roll in his mom's boarding house. The film, adapted from Eric Roth's original 1990s screenplay, indigenizes the plot in interesting ways and finds points of departure that, more often not, strike a chord. India is in the midst of a level of social and political turmoil that it has rarely encountered since it gained independence. Since Laal Singh Chaddha is an official remake, the storyline is known. It is the changes, minor and not-so-minor, that keep one's interest alive. Laal shakes off his leg braces as a boy when chased by a trio of bullies on their bicycles. At the personal level, too, he is undaunted by the challenges that life throws at him. That is exactly what the conservative-minded Forrest Gump had attempted to do (with a great degree of success) in the US of A in the decades following the disastrous Vietnam War and the fallout of the Watergate scandal. But given its overall intent, Laal Singh Chaddha does serve a significant purpose: it celebrates humanity in the face of hate and discord. Reworking a 1994 Hollywood drama centred on the Vietnam War into an Indian story that pans out over several decades later wouldn't have been a cakewalk.

Laal Singh Chaddha release: The film has released across 3500 screens in India, which includes Tamil and Telugu markets.

Film trade analyst Sumit Kadel also weighed in and gave the film a two-star rating, calling it "a poor adaptation of Forrest Gump." Kadel wrote, "LSC is a poor adaptation of Forrest Gump, it lacks soul and emotions of the original classic... Film critic and trade analyst Taran Adarsh gave the Aamir Khan film a two-star rating and said that the film disappoints on several fronts. Secondly, the market in the South for Hindi films is usually soft, even for an Aamir Khan movie." Users, however, had a mixed take on the film. It is not an original film like PK which people will rush to watch Aamir Khan in. Even if a small section of the potential audience who get affected by the trends don't show up it is a loss for the makers. Trade expert Ramesh Bala said the film does not have the originality factor going for it since it is a remake of the 1994 classic Tom Hanks. He said, "Firstly, it is a remake of a Hollywood movie, Forrest Gump, which most people have seen. The film has way too much riding on its shoulders -- hopes of reviving Bollywood coupled with Aamir Khan's superstardom. Talking of the first day first show, the film opened to mixed reviews at the box office. Aamir Khan-starrer Laal Singh Chaddha has released in theatres today. Also, the screen count has been reduced for the film, which further impacts the overall business." The film has released across 3,500 screens in India, which includes Tamil and Telugu markets.

The signature brilliance of Aamir Khan seems to be missing in the dialogue-led scenes, but he puts his strengths to test with the scenes where there are no dialogues. Lyricist Amitabh Bhattacharya seems to be a little lost in the film. The film’s director Advait Chandan, who has been a long-time collaborator of Aamir in different capacities, has done justice to Kulkarni’s script. The script has been penned by actor Atul Kulkarni, who has worked with Aamir in ‘Rang De Basanti’, and is his dear friend. Much like its original, ‘Laal Singh Chaddha’ tells the story of a simple man and how he sails through life with his goodwill and values. His success ratio only adds to his massive credibility as the superstar who rarely fails, barring of course in few exceptions such ‘Mela’ and ‘Thugs of Hindostan’.

'Laal Singh Chaddha' Review: Forrest Gump in India (The New York Times)

This Indian adaptation of “Forrest Gump” doubles down on its Pollyanna hero, substituting different historical touchstones.

(Laal is Sikh but only barely grasps these violent events.) The famous box of chocolates is reimagined, sweetly so: life is now like a golgappa (a crisp fried treat). In the film’s framing device, Laal (Aamir Khan, the star of the 2001 crossover hit “Lagaan”) recounts his life story to passengers on a train.
