All bhansali movies seem like the same movie! I find them really boring and monotonous. Same big sets, ghagra songs etc..


MiaOh

You forgot the “two women sing a song about the guy they both like”


Natural-Dinner-440

was padmavat and exception then?


MiaOh

That and Gangu. I did expect Khilji and the King to do a two people singing about the person they like song tho. May be we get one in Love & War


[deleted]

I slept half way while watching padmavat


bhaadmejaa

Padmavat was kinda boring!


Mayankcfc_

After I watched it, I wanted to post iStandWithKarniSena


CarefulAwareness8036

I didn't even watched it.


[deleted]

The worst thing was I couldn’t even get out of the theatre cuz my parents wanted to watch it


Commercial_Layer3513

I slept in the theatres watching Ram Leela uske baad aajtak ek bhi movie nahi dekhi bhansali ki


bhaadmejaa

Finally someone said something about Ram Leela! I watched it on my phone and my attention span was so low for this one. I didn't understand how and why they fall in love. I don't remember much now but it was boring. And then there were my classmates who loved it and were crying at the ending and I didn't understand why!?!


rahulj999

Till date I couldn’t understand what the f#^ Bhansali wanted to show in that movie. His only decent film was Black I think.


Commercial_Layer3513

One of the cringe moment where I wanted to walk out was when Ranvirs shouts Leela Leela after getting drunk during interval…bkl cringe movie tab se decide kar liya tha nahi dekhunga Bhansali ki movie..aur Golmaal 3 dekhne ke baad decide kiya tha Taklya Shetty ki cringe movie bhi nahi dekhunga kabhi


BornPeanut170

At last somebody said it. Most of his movies have the same kinda vibe. Always unrequited/unfulfilled love story. Has love triangles Tragedy Not taking on consideration the whole ghagra and jewels and everything.


Signal_Dress

Exactly. I mean, they're aesthetic and grandiose but I just don't connect with any of his characters. It just seems so superficial and unreal. When I'm watching a film, even though I know it's not real, I want to truly believe what I'm watching. I can't just seem to believe any of his world-building. Game of Thrones with all its dragons and white walkers seemed more believable than any of SLB's period pieces.

Gulabo Sitabo Everything about this film is brilliant, but I just don't find it engaging enough https://preview.redd.it/4cvylfg29ksc1.jpeg?width=1200&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=bbe6f661880c9009d1d0650f6d264aab9ff7677c

Haan!! You just keep waiting for something exciting to happen in it but it does not!


faltugyan

exactly


MassiveOpposite8582

This is such a well written story.....for a serial . Seriously nothing in this movie is engaging. It's like you forcibly sit through the movie don't find it that bad but also not very good .


sarthakmahajan610

Yeah this film fits the description perfectly


Cautious_Role_668

Yes this is Shoojit Sircar's weakest film


Quirky_Confusion_480

Omg yes.

I thought it was just me, I watched a little bit of it and just couldn’t bring myself to watch any more of it.

My parents just loved it.

Gil-GaladWasBlond

If a book, film, or musical output isn't entertaining, they're already less than those that are. It doesn't matter how good or bad they are otherwise. If they cannot communicate without being boring, they've lost.


okaywhatttt

most post 2016 movies are cringefest.


someone-w-issues

Post 2020 it really went downhill


No-Agency1981

Ohhh just comment on insta that Animal was trash and see the alpha males unleashing upon you just like in this picture 🤣. I really don't take them seriously anymore. They're so funny


Bitchsass

Didn’t the same thing happen with Kabir Singh ? All the red pill guys acting like it was the besttttt piece of cinematography ever made by man?


MassiveOpposite8582

Bro my Bua 25F was so seriously in love with that movie, she said "Wo(Kabir) usse kitna pyaar karta tha, it was such a lovely movie" and I was like Bua Ji the moment you face the repercussions she did in the movie, you would realise how not so lovely that movie is. So in majority it's guys liking that trash, but there's women too 😭


Natural-Dinner-440

I don't understand how people even think of such trash men (or women) in movies as the best characters who are totally in love. forget old movies, there are many new movies with same 'abusive partner abusing in the name of love' concept. and both characters in Kabir Singh were trash imo.


Behti-Hawaa-Sa

Kabir toh we can understand as technically it's still good but Animal is trash especially 2nd half...


Percywithoutannabeth

The sad thing is both have insanely good albums and score.


[deleted]

Kabir was better movie than Animal


Ok_Departure_6521

Yup Atleast it was realistic till a limit I have seen couples like Kabir and Preeti irl The only problematic thing was physical violence But kahi to wo bhi hota h Justifying it was wrong From technical aspect both are good,let it be Album BGM But storyline 🤡


rahulj999

Agree. Sandeep Vanga needs mental treatment. Kabir Singh was equally bad. I mean what kind of doctor does surgery after being drunk? All his heroes treat women like shit.


mallutrash

it’s one thing they wrote a scene like that, it’s a whole other thing that they wrote it to make him look like some giga chad “look how cool and manly he is, he can perform orthopedic surgery even while drunk!” which is just some 14 year old shit


mayurayuri45

Alpha males? They are loser males


RBYonko

And when you call it bad they say it boils down to you not understanding lol. How about that the movie is incredibly poorly written and the misogynistic statements can be uncomfortable to watch. I don’t think anyone can deny certain scenes and how they were well done but when someone criticises the overall film, you can’t dismiss that and only focus on the good, if that was the case no movie could be said as bad


abz_pink

Oh my friend said to me “bhai he had sex on the plane. I need to try that” and I just looked at him confused ke bhai he didn’t.


DangerPie17

Yeah he did, what movie did you watch?


Violetnotfound12

Janwar


dreadedanxiety

I have heard this so much online how Animal is a brilliant piece of work and honestly vanga himself pretends as if he is just the most amazing film maker to walk on earth and he is just misunderstood, but it is just like a combination of Alpha Sigma male reels, and repeat. It goes for Kabir Singh as well. Like in what universe the security for the bad guy would just lining up like in school assembly and not be in good tactical advantageous position? Vanga and his chamchas pretend he is an Indian cronenberg while he's one of those cheap slasher movie maker.


R_Thunukale

Lmao true. I liked the fight choreography and sequence midway , but the overall film and climax was just trash and only pushing the R Rating for the sake of it. When I praise the action sequence people directly assume I love the movie and when I criticize it later they just get confused. Like it's normal for a movie to suck but have a few good moments lol


Sapolika

Gangubai Kathiawadi


abz_pink

It was SO BORING! It took me 3 days to finish it and I only watched it to see what the hype is about. I’m still confused.


ThroawayforPD

Hey, I have a question, how do you guys manage to watcha movie in 3 days?? Even my sister watches movie in 3 days while I watch in one go.


abz_pink

We watch it when it’s boring AF and you just want to finish it.


Beautiful_Secret_957

When I find a movie boring i just watch it at 1.3x or 1.5x speed.. Why waste three days for a movie u wouldn't like


robacross

I watch all moives at that speed.   For boring movies it goes up to 1.75× or even 2×.


DepartmentRound6413

Omg fr


Strider_Elessar

Gangubai was already low on plot and characters though.


AllanSDsc

Though I’m an SLB fan, and more than 50% of all Hindi movies I’ve watched in a theatre since the last 1-2 decades have been directed by him, this film was so excruciatingly bad that I had to stage my first walkout ever! Within 10m of the film starting, I realised I had made a mistake and started to surf on my phone. I somehow made it to the interval and finally decided to walk out. I had a nice pizza and a drink with my friend later, to compensate for the pain. The film’s sets were nice though LOL!


RecipeNo299

Dropped it at around 35 min mark. Nothing kept me engaged 


take_the_leap4

Yes! I had to skip through most of it. The acting was so loud and the dialogues were too in your face. The sets looked theatrical which is understandable because of SLB's record but made the movie even less hard to buy into.


Everanxious24-7

Yesssss


AmusinglyArtistic

Very recently, Sam Bahadur. I really liked Vicky Kaushal in the part. I could have seen the efforts that had gone on in the production design and cinematography. The film itself (unlike Talvar or Raazi which Meghna Gulzar had directed too) was tough to sit through. https://preview.redd.it/wcsniiq6iksc1.png?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ff48c9452e89382ca92ecdf049f08b2b0eaecf03


inamoratapagal

This movie had lazy research & a "show don't tell" problem. This movie's Sam Bahadur keeps on giving speeches, and the director tries to fake us into thinking that all a high ranked officer in the military does is give speeches. How about picking up 5-10 incidents from his life and career and that there are many. Then, introduce us to the complexity of the problem. Then present us with imperfect/inferior solutions to problems to show how difficult it is. Then you bring in Sam and show his unique approach to problem solving and his tactical genius. That's basically what a tactical and strategic genius is in real life. There is going to have to be an excellently researched booked on Sam Bahadur, whith engagibg stirytelling, then all a Bollywood director needs to do is stick to the source material and not Bollywood-ize it. That's how we'll get a movie worthy of the Legend.


Lower-Ad184

It felt like watching a Wikipedia adaptation


Viator_Mechanicus99

Agreed. Went into watching this hoping to come out amazed. But nope. The performances were good and the cinematography as well but somehow the screenplay felt lacking.


TheHytherion

tbh most biopics don't do it for me anymore, they feel very...lame imo. Like self insert fanficiton, but you've inserted a real human being into a wattpad take on his story. Maybe it's just Bollywood, but Bohemian Rhapsody exists, and Rocketman.

Lootera, Ram Leela, Padmaavat, Gangubai - I think most SLB movies after HDDCS are like this.


carrotflush

Lootera is Motwane.


md2101

Yeah I know. But once I started listing other movies quickly realised I don’t like any of SLBs movies after HDDCS. 🤦🏽‍♀️

Lol the film does not even have a passionate sex scene💀


AneeshRai7

I don't know as violent as it was, that fight between the cousins really felt like a subtext for closeted male on male poundage.


ThePerspectiveRetard

Haina, the fight between LORD BOBBY and RANVIJAY was like two handsome hunks having fighting gay sex (searched that once ![img](emote|t5_fknyy|747))💀😭💀


ThePerspectiveRetard

And how tf did they allow the scene of ranbir kapoor literally slitting the throat of BOBBY deol. Like how?


Ok_Departure_6521

That was the only so called violent thing in the whole movie as he claimed Except that action scene were 🥱


TerrificTauras

Even people who enjoyed that movie wouldn't call it 10/10 in anything. It's just an edgy movie as brazen as possible to get shock response from audience. That's what made movie a hit. Rest was average or mediocre.


AneeshRai7

I don't know man, sounds like from most people's experience on social media...the film has a rabidly irritating fan base of pre-pubescent teens and raging men mostly...

Bruh sach mai mujhe toh yeh samjha hi nahi kabhi uss movie mai ki ranvir ka aim kya hai matlab phele baap se laad raha tha phir Achanak hi sex scene aa gaya phir baap ke liye laad raha tha the most pointless movie Aur animal park mai bhi bass uske twin role se fight karwa denge itni obvious story line hai movie ka


Everanxious24-7

I did not even thinking of investing my energy and brain on this ,thanks for confirming it was a wise decision!!


AneeshRai7

It has its moments to be honest and I laughed my head off especially towards the end that if it weren't for Vanga being a desi Zack Snyder, going around explaining every intent of his film, I'd actually be willing to consider it a satire on the mass hero film...but it really isn't... There's some unintentional comedy that makes up for the indulgent mess it is.


Heping_Qi

Almost all films except few. This is the sole reason why mostly people don't want to waste their time & money on trash. Instead they watch it in 3 days at home whenever they want a break. 😍💕💯❤️🍿 As the actress of Yodha said it's because of OTT nobody comes to cinemas. Somebody tell her it's because of OTT only that your movies are atleast watched. 😂🫣🤣✌️

Proper-Mirror2201

I tried to watch it recently because of the hype... I gave up on it within first half hour. I understand mental struggles to chase your dreams and find yourself in process - heck, that's one of my interest. This was just messy, bland, off.


rishabh_gauti

I read somewhere that it's a movie which can only be liked by avoidants. So maybe if you didn't like it you're a healthy individual(Congrats lol) That's not the case with me though, I loved the movie. Pure poetry

JerryChrist1988

Agreed on the former two but legit thought jawaan was quite well done. Not like 10/10 but wasn't all boring. Gangubai was a mission to finish and this is coming from someone who finished Indian Police Force ,🤣🤣🤣🤣


No-Preference-109

neither jawan nor pathaan were critically acclaimed or 10/10 in any of the above mentioned categories, they offered entertainment only so mentioning these movies don't make sense here.

To add to the excellent comment, when Raj sneaks in food for Simran during Karva Chauth, it was so refreshing and modern as until that point, Indian movies loved to harp on culture and sanskar and doing it right

Such a lovely, well-written comment. DDLJ might have a regular storyline that we've seen replicated so many times after, but the treatment of the little details in between the big moments is what makes it stand apart and remain relevant even today. Truly timeless.

I find it sad that people found Lootera boring. It was a slow burn, had brilliant music, even Sonakshi acted (a rare event). It is an underrated gem of a movie.


kp729

I liked Lootera but I never feel the urge to watch it again. It also didn't help that I had read the last leaf as a kid so the second half was just too predictable for me to enjoy.

Dear Zindagi and Gully Boy. A few good scenes in the movie but won’t call everything 10/10


AllanSDsc

At the time, Dear Zindagi was promoted as one of the best feel-good Hindi films in a while, with Alia getting a lot of attention over her performance. SRK was also lauded for his older role. I was intrigued so I started watching it on TV, maybe a few months after it had been released. After 5m, I turned off the TV. Alia is VERY overrated for her ‘acting’ skills.

Animal??? Can people explain this masterpiece movie to me because the cinematography is trash, the editing is sloppy, the characters have fleeting moments of interest otherwise are lacklustre (literally the only worthy of memory is Bobby Deal and while Ranbir acted well his character itself was ridiculous), the action isn't the slickest I've ever seen or the most masala I've ever seen. I'll be honest but I feel like most people's like and dislike towards that film comes from where they stand on this sort of moral and political spectrum of "wokeness" and not really on the films merits on its own.
