Review of Bajrangi Bhaijaan (2015) by Candace B — 21 Aug 2015
One of the BEST MOVIES I've ever seen. With better promotion from Indian film distributors (or U.S. theaters!) this could have been a huge crossover hit. Regal Entertainment Group posted nothing online but the title.
No poster, no trailer, no synopsis. Consequently my husband and I - facing nothing at the movies but more vulgar comedies and plotless crash-bang - stumbled onto it out of desperation and dumb luck. The film is wonderful.
You laugh, you cry, you're on the edge of your seat throughout the movie. We have seen it twice in the theater and plan to buy it on DVD as soon as it's available. It's worth noting that it has made $8M at the U.
S box office despite the fact that it's showing in just 250 or so theaters. Based on per location earnings, the film would be among the top 2 or 3 films in the U.S. right now. It's earned more than $120M worldwide.
