Now,Will Raj manage his differences with Meera?

PERFORMANCES: Kajol dazzles and it's difficult to take your eyes off her when she's on screen.She looks stunning & steals your heart with a performance that stays in your memory.SRK is at his charismatic best in the young avtaar and carries off the angry, middle-aged guy with aplomb.Varun Dhawan is good as he is a good actor.Kriti looks very gorgeous & has a strong screen presence and is natural.This film boasts of a commanding supporting cast, but the ones who sparkle include Sanjay Mishra [exceptional], Johny Lever [super], Mukesh Tiwari [first-rate] and Pankaj Tripathi [competent]. Boman Irani does exceedingly well. Vinod Khannna and Kabir Bedi, the two veterans, are just right.

MUSIC: composed by Pritam is a ten-on-ten and singer Arijit Singh has once again spilled magic with his voice. Gerua's picturisation will want you to jump to Iceland next very moment.Other songs "Janam Janam" , "Manma Emotion Jaage","Tukur Tukur" are also very very good.

Story is very much predictable.The cinematography and scenes of Bulgaria are breathtaking. Goa has been captured well. Yes, cars do play a big part here, as they do in most Shetty films.Rohit Shetty stresses on vintage stuff [love triumphs against all odds], but he along with screenplay writer Yunus Sajawal narrates it smartly, peppering and garnishing the proceedings with sub-plots that keep you completed captivated.

Overall,Dilwale is a completely masala entertainer & can be watched.

N.B: Personally,I feel after a long time SRK has delivered a better performance than his Om Shanti Om,Chennai Express & Happy New Year.
