BAJRANGI BHAIJAAN

Director Kabir Khan has done it again... A must watch movie where there are no out of the world actions scenes which we normally see in a Salman Khan movie. Emotional quotient takes precedence in the story. A Pakistani girl who cannot speak, lost in India, meets Pawan aka Bajrangi. How Bajrani gets to know her home town and journey back to her home and in process becomes "Bajrangi Bhaijan" is the story. 

Humanitarian feelings on both sides of the border have been nicely depicted. Situational comic scenes at required moments in the movie make it easy. Weak link being Salman-Kareena love angle. Good performances by Salman (probably one of his best), Nawazuddin (this guy can carry off any role with ease) and the girl Harshali Malhotra. Technically good quality and apt to the story - be it photography, locations, screenplay etc.
 
Kabir Khan seems to be on a mission to unite India and Pakistan. (We should appreciate his attempts). His last movie (Ek Tha Tiger) had RAW and ISI agents fall in love. This one is cross border friendship and common emotional bonding.
 
Box office collections should not be a benchmark to measure this movie. As it may be affected by the overwhelming success of the other BB (BaahuBali)...
