Review of Zero (2018) by Ronak K — 21 Dec 2018

If there is space for a good review about the tremendous effort that the makers have made, I would like to take the freedom to post my view on ZERO.

The Movie's first half is quite comedy and takes the liberty of adding the magic, which the season is all about. The charm of SRK, his wit, the dialogues of Himanshu Sharma and the direction of Aanand L Rai, and most importantly the VFX by Red Chillies Ent. brings a smile to your face. The songs timed perfectly. No frame stretched extra long. But many frames extended taking the creative freedom to celebrate the incompleteness of characters.

A film with a message, a deeper aspect and the reality of being beautifully incomplete, which we all are in some sense, beautifully amalgamated with the fantasy and magic of stars, rockets and space. To go through all the research work and the space research so accurate. The VFX top-notch. The Facial expressions beautiful even after the 3D Modelling, compositions and some rotoscoping. The Use of technodolly cameras. Each scene was shot 5 times. Once with SRK's face, next with his shortened height using the props and stage sets. The next time from behind the back and the perfection in the VFX and usage of Top-Notch International technology makes us feel proud. And yet with all this, within some minutes of the film, you get so hooked on to the character of "Bauua Singh" that you come out from the macho character of SRK from Happy New Year, and the simplicity from Swades or Rab Ne bana di jodi, you fall in love with the one-liners, the puns and eventually with the character Bauua himself.
