As Chand he reflects the plight of independent journalists in the hinterland. Nawazuddin shines in the role of a stinger in search of real stories. And as it comes at a lost and found space, the irony is palpable. It is Adnan Sami’s qawwali, again a genre that has lost its place in Hindi film narratives that is the highlight of the soundtrack. In a masala entertainer the Hanuman song and the selfie song would have been two separate entities but here they are merged into one, cutting down on servicing the fan. The fights are few and far between and the writers have played with this change in a fun away. In little Harshali, he has a perfect foil, somebody, whose guiltless facial expressions are skilfully milked by cinematographer Aseem Mishra. With Salman playing the bhakt of a mythical superhero, Kabir has all the licence to turn him into a one man Army, but he resists the temptation slaying the ghosts of Gadar kind of hate cinema in the process.Ĭutting down on his macho act, Salman proves that given a chance he could play the mama of melodrama as well. In stringer Chand Nawab (Nawazuddin Siddiqui) he finds an ally who judges Bajrangi by his intentions and not his faith.Īverage Salman fans must be in shock when in the second half Bhaijaan doesn’t get a chance to flex his muscles for Kabir prefers to engage with public sentiment rather than in indulging in making a star statement. Bajrangi continues his tryst with truth and Pakistanis don’t come across as habituated by people from another planet. Munni/Shahida doesn’t get reduced to a mute metaphor for Pakistan. The best part is when the narrative crosses borders it doesn’t change its colour. Bajrangi is simple, more next door and hence has more agency among those who face the divisive forces on a daily basis. Kabir had dealt with the impious divide in the name of religion in New York as well but that seemed far, a realistic issue caged in a rom com. The innocent scene gives the film its depth. Like PK, here Bajrangi reels out the name of Indian cities to figure out where she belongs to, not realising the limitations of the man made borders.
#Bajrangi bhaijan full hindi movie skin
How we associate the colour of skin with a particular caste, how we judge people by their food choices. What happens when the other happens to be a cute child? As Bajrangi sets out to find the girl’s mother, the film deals with stereotypes that we grapple with in our daily lives. Pavan Chaturvedi/ Bajrangi (Salman Khan) is embodiment of that common man, who often follows rituals and not the religion, who makes perceptions about the people of other faith without actually knowing them. He underlines the importance of inclusiveness in these divisive times as a devout Hindu boy, the son of an RSS member, sets out to help a mute Pakistani kid to find her way back home.Ĭast: Salman Khan, Kareena Kapoor, Nawazuddin Siddiqui, Om Puri, Harshali Malhotraīottomline: A sweet gift from Salman this Eid that loudly underlines the acceptance of others. It is because Kabir takes the generous leap of faith from the ground of reality where India and Pakistan stand today. The film is a good old school melodrama where messaging is more important than the form, where eyes go moist even when you know things are going larger than life. The moulvi is not averse to saying Jai Shri Ram and the simpleton hero believes that being Hanuman is not such a bad label in Pakistan as well, for the monkeys that he greets in temples are found in mosques as well! Director Kabir Khan breaks this mould to generate a set of characters who wear their faith on one sleeve and humanity on the other with no friction in between. And the supporting cast’s religious identity comes forth only when the director has to show them taking a rigid or fundamentalist stand. The market dynamics are such that these days the hero has to be an alien to visit a temple. One of the Hindi film staples that got lost in the wave of rom com was the hero’s dialogue with god.
