Its poster has a deep secret, everybody is hiding eyes, which represents no body wants to see this.

This movie is good in parts. Bad in parts too. But Gerua is well worth the purchase. I'm in

Rohit shetty, Farah khan and Sajid khan are the shitiest directors bollywood ever had.

These 3 are responsible for taking down bollywood few notches content wise and quality wise.

I try to avoid rohit shetty cinema like a plague or ebola unless it is named GOLMAAL (2006).

review a iMDb 5.5/10 and rotten tomatoes 46%.

To each his own I guess, I also heard a lot of criticism about Chennai Express for instance - and when I watched it, it was clearly a nonsensical movie - but it also had me laughing all the way thru (repeat watched this blu-ray some 10 times at least) - and if a movie is making me laugh that hard, it has succeeded - a lot of the so-called bollywood "comedy" is mostly crap - but this one had some uniqueness to it unlike any other.....but totally hated Happy New Year. I liked Rohit Shetty's Singham - thought it was very entertaining while Singham Returns was very bad.

I had the total opposite experience!

I walked out of CE after first 20 mins. Thats how bored I was. No story, no real screenplay, poor direction.

I found HNY to be entertaining enough despite being poorly directed, poorly acted, poor screenplay. Maybe because of good production values.

I found SINGHAM to be below average on Big Screen. Very poor chemistry between lead pair. Mindless cars flying. Poor direction. Poor production values. Poorly acted. Too much DABANGG wannabe.

Only Rohit Shetty movie that he found some rhythm in direction is GOLMAAL-FUN UNLIMITED (2006) with David Dhawanisque comedy direction. Good chemistry male bonding. Good acting by everyone except Devgan. Decent screenplay.

It is hard to imagine SRK has wasted his last 8 years of his career kissing up to Shetty Farah kind of film makers who are a joke despite seeing dizzying height of success with CHAK DE INDIA (2007).

Not a single SRK movie since 2007 is worthy of remembrance while Aamir gave RDB, 3-IDIOTS and PK. Even non-acting superstar Salman gave DABANGG and BB.

FAN and RAEES is such a welcome departure miles away from Shetty-Farah cinema.

Even if one becomes a memorable classic, this might just save SRK from his never ending mid-life crisis.

As you have mentioned this, I would like to share this article which says, By avoiding/rejecting great directors and working for/given importance to some other useless directors (Farah's shitty cinema), SRK limited himself, his actings skills and his capability of doing roles in various genres. He should work with better directors/co-stars. Today we have many skilled filmakers. A Wednesday, Paan Singh Tomar, Vicky Doner, B.A. Paas, Shanghai, Barfi, Kahaani, Bhaag Milkha Bhaag, Badlapur are great films.

The stuff you said is just the tip of the surface with SRK imo!

The biggest problem is him establishing Red Chillies VFX. And going into IPL with KKR. SRK the businessman took a front seat to SRK the actor who was trained properly on the stages of Delhi.

Pre-2007 SRK, the superstar worked with every notable director of decent reputation with exception of RGV & VVC. Gowarikar (SWADES), Sivan (ASHOKA), Palekar (PAHELI), Ratnam (DIL SE), SLB (DEVDAS), MSA (TRIMURTI), Sippy (DEEWANA MASTANA) etc etc. This is despite working with his usual circle of friends. yash, aditya, karan, mirza etc.

SRKs attitude towards Hirani after MUNNABHAI MBBS has been nothing short of narcissistic imo. Any non-acting superstar giving creative valuable inputs dont mean Hirani is not a sole reason for MUNNABHAI's blockbusters success.

SRK deep down know Hirani is probably the best storyteller Bollywood ever produced. His defience of not acting in VVC-Hirani productions and asking him to join Red Chillies directly resulted in him losing 3 IDIOTS (PK too probably) to Aamir Khan, a delhite college role SRK could've easily portrayed.

After the Hirani fiasco, the new breed of creative directors doing some incredible work like Kashyup brothers, T. Dhulia, Sircar, Dibakar, Bhardwaj, Kabir, Neeraj, Raghavan have distanced themselves completely from SRK "the businessman." imo.

SRK, the businessman needs to be signed before SRK, the actor which means Red Chillies's Gauri Khan will force herself into co-production. A lesser talent like ritesh-farhan EXCEL will collaborate (DON 2) but creative modern filmmakers will stay miles away from SRK.

A ultra flop garbage director like Sinha rode Red Chillies for free with a budget of 150 crores making below ave product.

Its impossible for me to imagine an actor of SRK's repute could not persuade Bollywood's best ever Sci-fi, superhero movie (MR. INDIA) director Shekhar Kapoor and give him full creative freedom with 150 crore budget. same SRK was able to put together a decent hollywood vfx sfx crew including Akon.

Bachchan bad years (1986- ???) and SRK bad years (2008 - present) has gone opposite. AB still worked with Bollywood's BEST in his bad years (P. Mehra, M. Anand, Tinny Anand, Desai). Mukul-Big B trilogy of AGNEEPATH, HUM, KHUDA GAWAH still trending very well on IMDB. Tinnu Anand's SHAHENSHAH is still a good solid entertainer.

SRK Bad years worked with average to poor directors (Farah, Farhan, Karan and Shetty). Hence, his movies are least remembered. Not even at the level of DABANGG and BAJRANGI BHAIJAAN which are notches below 3 IDIOTS and PK in repeat value and becoming classics.

Or audiences should just move on to recognize and encourage other actors who are doing better work, instead of moaning about how star X is not doing good stuff any more.

Last couple of years have shown a good possibility of movies that go beyond the stars and focus on stories and characters, please reward those at the box office instead of giving 100 crore+ revenues to Dullwale. When I go by Metro cinema on my way to film retrospectives conducted at Liberty cinema, I still see this film running. SRK the producer is laughing all the way to the bank, why should he bother about a few people complaining online about his choice of movies?

I played this last night. Colours make it a pretty nice Blu Ray. Actually quite impressive being a Reliance Blu Ray. The bulgaria shots look pretty amazing.

[afgmusix]

does anybody know if the blu-ray has the "premika"song that didn't make it into the cinema cut ?

No

I saw this last weekend and felt the video quality was all right but certainly not
the best I've seen even on Bollywood blu-rays. I actually felt it could really be improved in few of the scenes. This is based on what was seen on my 120" FP screen.

Well at least I have a new Bollywood movie Blu Ray to sample for Indian friends who wanna check out my home theatre. Colourful songs, great locations and get an action scene or two. Gerua looks fantastic

Not referrig to your taste. But in general, as ironical as it may sound, people who specifically cared only for "Colourful songs, great locations and get an action scene or two and gerua looking fantastic" are the most responsible for whatever money this piece of crap made at the box office.

The situation is so bad, sometimes I wish there was a way to teach people what should be the expectation before watching a film, how to watch them with silence and respect and even on the most peripheral level, how to judge them as good or bad. I would happily put good money in any institution educating people on this.

These were my exact thoughts as well when I watched about 90 mins of the movie last nite - what I was scratching my head about was how in the world did SRK think that this movie would smash all box office records (in relation to his disappointment with this movie's earnings) - in fact, it has earned more than it deserves clearly. Does he think that the mere iconic pairing of himself and Kajol and some catchy songs/music or some good cinematography in the songs is "enough" to make a good movie? He should know better than that. There've been enough number of movies with a great star cast and may be even good songs that didn't do well at the box office. If I compare Dilwale to Haider which I eventually got to watch this past weekend, it is day-and-night difference - with Haider, we're looking at some reeeaaaalllly well done cinema (in my opinion at least) - that to me is true story telling - cinema is all about great story telling - if that is not done well, nothing else matters, scenes in Bulgaria or Gerua won't cut it....Sure, I'll probably play the songs from Dilwale a few times in my home theater - but would have no desire to watch this nonsense again - I still need to complete the movie though.....LOL

I think we are in very interesting times in Bollywood.

SRK's DILWALE (2015) = Aamir's MELA (2000) = Salman's VEER (2010)aka. Turning point in filmography

All 3 films were absolutely panned by everyone at various points in time. MELA and VEER turned out to be turning point in Aamir's and Salman's career respectively.

MELA debacle resulted in Aamir becoming Bollywood superstar of 2010 decade starting with Oscar nominated LAGAAN (2001) home production ending with 3 IDIOTS (2010) and beyond with P.K (2014) as the Aamir journey continues...

VEER debacle directly resulted in salman's re-launching into "North India's Rajnikanth" avatar. South regional blockbusters remakes resulting in BO golden run starting with DABANGG (2010) and most probably ending the "masala" era with All-time Blockbuster in BAJRANGI BHAIJAAN (2015). But Salman's journey continues....

DILWALE debacle with serious criticism by masses and classes alike could also directly result in SRK's re-entry into "acting" superstar with FAN (2016) and RAEES (2016) and other interesting line-up with class directors forever shunning garbage masala trash cinema of Rohit Shetty, Farah Khan and even Karan Johar to certain extent.

We are living in interesting era. All 3 superstars are aging and on wrong side of 50 yrs. All 3 are identical age and entered the twilight era of cinema. Something Big B had to deal with in 1990s.

I have a feeling one of them will eventually quit the superstardom.

Whether it will be....

50-55 yrs old Salman (least talented, masses hero) or
50-55 yrs old SRK (Most talented & versitile, properly stage trained, but poor, selfish, businessman-like decision maker) or
50-55 yrs old Aamir (wise, hardworking but extremely picky once every 3 yrs release).

Only the time will tell...1 or even 2 of the superstars will not age well imo..

stay tuned....

Aside from Dilwale which could indeed be a turning point in SRK's career, Mela was more like Aamir's one-shot attempt at launching his brother into stardom and Veer was a Salman Khan vanity project to prove his worth as Salim Khan's progeny (he wrote the story).

Aamir in fact does have a few films which he can be proud of, made just before Mela and his other debacle, Mann - like Sarfarosh, Ghulam, 1947 Earth. Salman's remake spree started with Wanted (remake of Pokkiri) - a hit and made before Veer - and Dabagg was actually a surprise entry among the films which followed Veer, in that it was not a remake of any south Indian film (it's the other way around - the film got remade in Tamil & Telugu) and has in fact, got some substance amidst all the style.
