Most disappointing SRK movie I have watched

Rating: 3/10 (19 May 2017)

Before this movie came out, I had high expectations from Farah Khan and SRK combination because they delivered Main Hoon Na (an ode to the 70s in a cheesy manner but a well-made movie with a good message and emotions). I do accept that I had some really good laughs in this movie but if I were to isolate them from the story, the movie itself is riddled with so many factual inaccuracies and plot holes that it could easily go down as one of the worst SRK movies in his entire career. This kind of movie making huge dividends at the box office is a sure sign that Indian audience need to rise above their star fad and give way to intelligent movies. 2014 witness some good movies too but they were all drowned by the SRK stamp during the year. One of the reasons for my disappointment with this movie was that it was shot in Dubai (which is a nice thing) but it fed all the stereotypes that Indians have about Dubai. SRK is a highly revered Bollywood actor among the Emiratis and this was one of his chance to showcase the glamour and glitz of Bollywood by taking UAE as a base and showing correct things about the country (since he is one of the brand ambassadors for Dubai) but this was by far one of the disgrace he has shown to the country. Few examples of this such as saying that the law for theft in Dubai is chopping off hands (which is wrong) and, in the ending, the Dubai police would never take an accused to the police car in front of public. I could go on and on criticizing this movie not because it was a horrible movie but because such movies made money and audience do not even object such nonsense and it showed the city in a bad light. If we see any misrepresentation of India in any Hollywood movie, we make it a personal offense and start boycotting, doing Twitter trolls and make mountain out of molehill then why should we bad- mouth or downgrade another city / country.
I also heard that the script of this movie was selected in the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Science. I am happy for that. This movie is a testament for the budding film-makers on how not to make such a trash movie like this.
