Film: Bharat;
With: Salman Khan, Katrina Kaif, Sunil Grover, Disha Patani, Jackie Shroff; Director: Ali Abbas Zafar;
Note: **** (4 stars)
It's easy to be disdainful of a film that has no formal structure, that does not compartmentalize the flow of life, but chooses to follow him. . The flow, I mean.
But again, we need almost three hours of play time to realize that "Bharat" is no small feat. Like Sultan before, the director Ali Abbas Zafar does not hesitate to reveal the image of the superstar of Salman Khan who always plays on his own.
In some sequences of this epic movie, Salman invests real emotions. Watch him closely in the sequence where he finds his sister who he lost in the tumult of the partition of India in two very divided halves. Salman reaches a high level of emotionalism in this beautifully written movie piece.
Of course, the fact that Tabu plays the role of his sister in this very emotional sequence obviously helps. Tabu can bring out the best of anyone.
The rest of this interesting but often brilliant but uneven film is not as eloquent as one would like. Most adventures experienced by Bharat and his faithful sidekick Vilayati (Sunil Grover, funny and engaging) seem strangely incongruous: the high notes of a symphony that never reaches a crescendo. The trip seems to have a lot of authentic emotions. But sleeping dogs are numerous. All this episode of rigging seems rigged and insufficiently cooked.
Why take the protagonist's journey in such a distance where it becomes difficult to tell what he was looking for in the first place? Some moments supposed to be the pinnacle of hilarity fall flat on the floor. For example, the way Bharat pacifies Somali pirates aboard a ship (do not ask what he's doing there) with Amitabh Bachchan's songs is embarrbading for his out-of-tune humor.
It is commendable that this one-man show (with a surprising piece made for two other characters played by Sunil Grover and Katrina Kaif) takes a break to pay tribute to men of Indian history, such as Jawaharlal Nehru, Sachin Tendulkar, Amitabh Bachchan, Shah Rukh Khan and, ah, Manmohan Singh, who Congress I is rendered void and praised for its economic reforms.
Zafar and his co-author, Varun Sharma, never hesitate to wring their heads in the darkness of the narrative where the life of the protagonist Bharat is happening in flight of the bird. It would be wrong to say that Salman Khan is holding the film together. He should have done so, because the story is based entirely on his ability to transport it from one historical period to another.
Tragically, the changes of the time lack modulation of mood. One minute, we examine the savagery and brutality of the violence of the score. The next minute we are in a circus where Salman and the monstrously underused Disha Patani (what is she doing here?) Behave as if they had just watched Raj Kapoor in Mera Naam Joker.
The problem with "Bharat" is one of the problems of concentration. . He lacks concentration and builds his universe of changing socio-historical events with a lack of distance without pbadion. While Salman is not convincing as an aging man, he understands it by trying to express his feelings to his "Mrs. Sirjee". In her scenes with Katrina Kaif, Salman is as respectful and shy as we know in real life.
Looking at "Bharat", I felt a strange momentum of hope and joy. The film diffuses a ray of sunshine on its upholstered universe. But he fails to provide even a narrative harmony table to his protagonist whose life hardly seems to illustrate the checkered history of India as he would have us believe. Not always credible, "Bharat" nevertheless manages to never lose his calm. It's an epic feat that loses some of its grandeur by trying to say too much at the same time.
