Eid has always been a patient symbol for a Salman Khan’s film release but this year it is certainly special and the best out of all his films.

No matter if you are a Salman Khan fan or not , you will surely love this piece of art that this man has created.

The story starts with a little girl from Pakistan – Shahida (Harshaali) who lands up in India with her Mother for a visit to Dargah but somehow the little girl can’t make it back to Pakistan. A 6 year old mute girl lands up in a completely different country with a whole new surrounding and meets Pavan Kumar Chaturvedi (Salman Khan) . Then starts the journey of the little one who believes that Pavan Kumar will help her reach back to her home in Pakistan. Salman Khan who has been a complete innocent Bajrang Bali Bhakt tries to find out how he can help her out and find out from where the little one has really come.

On the same side, Salman Khan goes the flashback way revealing his life and how he met Kareena Kapoor Khan (Rasika) in Delhi. One side of the story goes the way where Salman has to prove his love to his father-in-law for Kareena by being settled in life. Salman being a complete Bajrangbali Bhakt wants to send Shahida back to her home before getting married to Kareena. Kareena Kapoor too supports him for the fight and journey. Will he reach his destination?

Salman Khan reaches Pakistan holding Little Munni in his arms and there he meets this Pakistani Journalist (Nawazuddin Siddiqui). Will Bajrangi Bhaijaan be able to give Munni back to her parents? If yes, then how? Well, we wont reveal more to kill your excitement.

This is by far Salman Khan’s best performance of his Bollywood career.  He will make you laugh, he will make you cry. Not a typical Salman Khan action film with action or romance.  You will love his innocence. This is something special. This Bajrangi has too much to offer to fans as compared to his previous movies.

Kareena Kapoor played a decent supporting role of Salman Khan’s love interest, a supporter who loves the simplicity of Pavan Kumar (Salman Khan) and supports him for his journey.

Nawazuddin Siddiqui is one Bollywood Actor who has been delivering brilliant performances in every movie he has done and in Bajrangi Bhaijaan, he is terrific. Full marks to Nawazuddin for his power packed performance.

Little Girl Harshaali Malhotra has been the silent killer. She cannot Speak but her Eyes did all the talking. Such an amazing start in Bollywood for the little girl with something really big like Bajrangi Bhaijaan. She is the soul of this kind of movie.

Music :

Film’s music has been pretty decent as it has already made it’s mark earlier at the Bollywood Charts with Songs like Selfie Lele Re and Bhar Do Jholi. The picturization of the songs have been spot on.

Direction :

Full marks to Kabir Khan for his Direction. The movie has been shot in parts of Kashmir and Rajasthan and the picturization is exemplary. Kabir Khan has created Pakistan in parts of India itself. Looks like Salman – Kabir’s duo is creating magic after magic with their outstanding movies.

Overall Bajrangi Bhaijaan is a must watch. Salman Khan has been brilliant and so is this cute little girl Harshaali and Nawazuddin Siddiqui. We rate this as Salman’s best performance till date. Perfect Eidi from Salman to his Fans.
