This movie is a cornerstone in Indian cinema, meaningful and just full of charm.
A film about how white people suck that also dips its toes into how ableist Indian culture can be wrapped up in a really fucking long but still engaging Bollywood sports film, that also has ear work, some great false finishes building up into a hell of an actual finish? Easy crowd pleaser
It probably means more to Indians or if you are a fan of cricket, but for me this was by far the weakest movie I've seen with Aamir Khan. There is nothing special about it. Generic plot and characters.
Excruciatingly long, cliché-ridden and melodramatic; only the music merits any sort of praise
