I was debating who to give this to, Anushka or Alia or Shahrukh, and then I realized, just because I was thinking of them, that meant they were ineligible. Because in every part I was very aware of who was playing the role. No, the real best actor of 2016 is one who was in 4 of the biggest hits of the year, and you didn’t even realize it was the same person.
I put up my non-spoiler review up right after I watched it, but I wanted to kind of let the film percolate before I attempted my detailed summary/spoiler review. Which might mean that a miss a scene here or there, but I should have a better idea of the overall message of the film. Oh, and I let it percolate too long (or not long enough?) so this is going to be too long and end up split in two parts.
All of these are more “controversies” than actual controversies, the very definition of a tempest in a teapot. But if I mush them all together into one post, then they are worth discussing.
I saw MS Dhoni: the Untold Story! My first opening night movie since Akira! It was so nice to be back in a crowded theater with whistles and crying kids and all the other good things.
