The Carlie Brown of Bollywood

Rating: 8/10 (15 June 2018)

Say what you want about the story of the film. And yes, I know a missing moustache doesn't suddenly make a man unrecognisable. But fact is that Shah Rukh Khan so lovingly portrays Suri that you immediately become fond of this endearing, shy, compassionate, insecure, reserved, and helplessly romantic man. The way he looks at his wife when she laughes about a stupid movie or the way he carries the bright yellow thermos to work is unbeatable.
Yes, Shah Rukh Khan's acting can be over the top, especially for us Europeans. But in recent years he has over and over again managed to shine playing a diverse array of characters. The way he made me fall in love with Suri has made this film absolutely worth watching.
