A faithful adaptation that still finds the space to lean into specific cultural influences, deep history, and lovely visuals.
Laal Singh Chaddha is hardly a Terrence Malick-like contemplation of pacifist philosophy — it's ultimately a broad, sentimentalist opera designed to have audiences reaching for their handkerchiefs — but it does have a more complex and gentle point of view than the film it's remaking. Despite how corny it is, Laal Singh Chaddha it unexpectedly disarming.

It’s an enjoyable, super-faithful cover version but Laal Singh Chaddha is like a box of chocolates: you know exactly what you’re gonna get.
Aside from how unnecessary remakes tend to be, what’s imperative is to consider whether a story with such a simplistically offensive depiction of disability as an enchanting characteristic can have a place in today’s world, as we collectively try to move away from unchallenged amusement that thinks it’s uplifting even as it punches down.
The movie’s charms are limited by what comes to feel like a coddling conceit.
There isn’t enough that plays as all that funny in this version of the comic satire Groom cooked up.
Between the neutered and uninspired adaptation, the direction that seems satisfied relying on shots that already exist rather than building something new, and the gobsmacking, borderline offensive portrayal of the lead character by Khan, Laal Singh Chaddha is a big miss.
[SPOILER ALERT: This review contains spoilers.]
Report
The same old replicated shots paired with the out right offensively rip off is what makes it give this horrible review. Cherry on top would be the horrible job as an actor that is Amir Khan.
Report
A distress dubbed version copy. The filmmakers and actors couldn't hold the essence of original movie. Forrest Gump is far far better to watch. Avoid this movie
