Aamir Khan's acting skills are good, everyone's acting skills are online, and the plot is cliché, a bit like a historical fairy tale. There will be spoilers below....
The whole story is a story of a liar rehabilitated. A clever Indian liar was sent by the invaders to be a spy in the Indian rebel organization, inspired by the leader's spirit, became a member of the resistance organization, and used his ingenuity to help the heroine complete revenge.
As other answers have said, this film may be an Indian New Year's Eve commercial. After watching the movie in the theater, I told my friend that I felt that the movie told a story that is well-known among Indians, and my friend nodded affirmatively. When I came back and checked the information, I found that the film was adapted from the novel "Confessions of a Thug" by Philip Meadows Taylor. In fact, when I said that the story of the movie was a household name in India, I didn't say a word - the storyline of the film is a bit far-fetched, and if it wasn't a household story, it would not have been possible to invest such a large cast. In other words, the script of the movie is bad.
The first half of the movie is very well laid out, and Aamir Khan appears as a cunning, greedy and shameless Filangi. Filangi's flattering eyes in front of the bandit captain really looked like a greedy fox. He used betrayal as a means of making money, and the means of betrayal came at his fingertips, which well explained why the leader of the invaders wanted him to be a spy. In the middle of the movie, the plot is quite satisfactory, and the half-truth, bitter-meat plan joins the resistance organization and approaches the resistance leader Azad. When the plot progresses to the point where Azad finds out about Ferangi's betrayal, the plot begins to leak. First of all, I feel that there is not enough foreshadowing in various places. The first half is mainly about Azad's bravery and Filangi's cunning. There is only one movie conversation between the two (farming), and then Filangi is affected by Azad. Inspired by the spirit of sacrifice, De decided to avenge Azad. As a liar who makes a living by betrayal, Ferangi should have regarded betrayal as instinct, so in the movie he should be happy for the success of the betrayal, not ashamed. So the transition is blunt. Second, Filangi is a traitor of the "Azad" organization, and it is unreasonable to change his ways to avenge Azad and become a hero of the "Azad" organization. Ferangi killed Azad and a group of fighters, and then fought the invaders to cover up the past and become a hero? This is the third loophole in the plot, and the countermeasures in the festival are superfluous. I know it's to show Filangi's wit. But this strategy is too low. The success of this strategy makes me feel that the image of the leader of the East India Company and the Japanese commander in the domestic drama is gradually merging. It's a bit of an understatement of the audience's IQ.
PS: The two heroines are very beautiful, but the princess's performance is quite satisfactory, and the dancer's performance is more amorous. Personally, I think that the dancer's performance did not show a turning point except when she promised the princess to assassinate the leader of the invaders, and the rest of the performance was perfect.
