Laal Singh Chaddha International Critics Reviews Out

Carlos
Aguilar
(The
Wrap)

“Not
that
Tom
Hanks’
performance
as
Forrest
could
ever
be
hailed
as
a
paragon
of
subtle
acting,
but
(Aamir)
Khan’s
interpretation
of
the
character
borders
on
parody.
The
exaggerated
facial
expressions
and
laughter
read
as
disparagingly
theatrical,
even
if
that’s
not
their
intent.”

Witney
Seibold
(Slash
Film)

“Laal
Singh
Chaddha
might
still
be
as
fitfully
mawkish
as
“Gump” in
its
tendency
toward
brazen
sentimentality,
but
is
a
film
more
deliberately
rooted
in
philosophies
of
gentleness.
It
is
the
superior
version.”

Proma
Khosla
(Indie
Wire)

“Khan
plays
the
role
like
he’s
been
doing
it
for
years,
and
in
a
sense
he
has;
his
Laal
is
instantly
evocative
of
PK,
the
alien
he
played
in
a
2014
film
of
the
same
name
–
a
little
naïve,
a
little
eccentric,
and
ultimately
good-natured.
He
captures
original
star
Tom
Hanks’
memorable
body
language
and
speech
patterns
with
a
full
beard
and
turban
and
lilting
Punjabi
dialogue
that
translates
even
lines
as
famous
as
“and
that’s
all
I
have
to
say
about
that”.”

Should
Aamir
Be
Worried?

Going
by
the
international
reviews,
it
seems
Aamir
Khan
failed
to
impress
the
international
film
critics
and
it
is
to
be
seen
what
will
be
Indian
media’s
take
on

Laal
Singh
Chaddha.

On
a
related
note,
the
film
will
be
clashing
with
Akshay
Kumar-starrer

Raksha
Bandhan,
which
is
helmed
by
Aanand
L
Rai.
