Thugs Of Hindostan Hindi DVD - Amirk Khan, Amitabh Bachan, Katrina Kaif - A Bollywood Film By Aditya Chopra

I saw this movie before I read any of the reviews, and I enjoyed the daylights out of it! It reminded me of the "Avengers" movies, maybe especially "Thor: Ragnarok:" thrilling (and highly improbable) action scenes, gripping drama, mesmerizing visual effects, and tongue-in-cheek moments where built-up tension was sledgehammered. I wouldn't call it absolutely perfect, but what's a minor plot hiccup here or a WTF costume there when I'm riding a sugar rush from all the eye candy? Nor did my ears feel neglected; the featured songs were OK (I appreciated the translation of the lyrics, some of which were haunting) but the instrumental score was engaging too.It doesn't even try to be historically accurate. It bursts the boundaries of historical fiction and spills into alternate-universe historical fantasy. It's a superhero story without Spandex (except for maybe those sequined hot pants that were apparently all the rage in the 1790s) except the superpowers are human things like lying, trusting, charming, and holding a grudge. Even the precognitive guy is a half-mad astrology genius rather than having supernatural abilities. And Clive of India is a serviceable supervillain; even though the film's specific events are fictional, you can look up some of the things he really did.I'm not sure what the Indian critics who panned this movie were expecting. The criticisms seemed to go "This is a completely crappy movie! Although the acting was good, and the effects were good, and the cinematography was good, and this and that were good..." Maybe they felt vulnerable after all the religion-based lawsuits around recent Indian films and TV shows. Maybe the movie was so over-hyped in its home country that it was doomed to disappoint. Or maybe they weren't its target audience; maybe we Amazon viewers from other countries are.The movie IS long, though many Indian movies are longer. Make sure you visit the potty BEFORE you watch. And don't read reviews until AFTER (whoops, you already read this one.)

If you're looking for an action/adventure film that's very smart, clever, fun, funny, touching, exciting, suspenseful, and unpredictable, give Thugs of Hindostan a chance.This is such a great film: the story and the characters are excellent and keeps you guessing and you never know how it's going to end! And its India flavor and style gives it (and its story and characters) an enjoyable (and refreshing) originality. I've never seen an action/adventure film quite like this: it's very different and it's very cool. The soundtrack, both the music and the singing, is unforgettable; and the dancing, exhilarating. The music, singing, and dancing are all so beautiful, powerful, exotic, and overwhelming, all having that wonderful India-ness. And the sword-fighting and battle scenes are awesome by the way, orchestrated with great choreography and style.If you're still unsure about the film, my advice is to watch the trailer and if you like it, watch the film in Hindi (its original language) with English subtitles. Also, ignore the three and a half star rating and avoid reading any negative critical reviews: if you like or love the film (and you just may), who cares what anyone else thinks?I want to say more of why I loved it, but I don't want to spoil any of the story or the characters, so I'll end my review by saying, in the words of my favorite one, Firangi,"1, 2, 3, 4, 5 - QUICK WATCH!"

I already knew about this movie, that its super flop. But I wanted to know how bad it is. Normally amir-khan movies do great on box office. Below are my observations:1. Bad direction2. Only a theme, no story. No material.3. The only thing I liked was Zeeshan, Amitabh & Amir acting as usual, but that too was paralyzed sometimes because of bad stories and not so good cuts.4. Fatima's debut in Daangal is enough. She should stop pursing acting. She is a bad actress overall for now. In future, after breaking lot of movies direction, she may get better; like Katrina.5. After seeing CGi effects in Baahuballi, this looks like cheap work. May be YRF films wanted to save money on effects LOL.6. People of India were expecting Ramayan from @Amir-Khan. I think @Rajamouli is better bet than Amir. Just my opinion.

People seem to have forgotten that movies are made to take you away from everyday life and forget your troubles and to enjoy yourself for a few hours. This film has met all this and more ! The actors were exceptional, scenery outstanding costumes stunning and music that swept you away ! Thugs of Hindostan had good action , dancing , some serious moments ( when Clive was slaughtering people for no reason ) lots' of anticipation ! It was nice to see the women portrayed as strong and not as sniveling idiots ( like Hollywood movies tend to do ) I found myself cheering at the end (out loud ) when Clive met his death ! All in all an excellent movie !!!!
