Beyond the boycott, why Aamir Khan is the biggest problem with Laal Singh Chaddha for those who have watched it; Read tweets

Aamir Khan starrer Laal Singh Chaddha ’s box office fate seems to have been sealed. The movie is hardly able to sell tickets and it is a big cause of concern for Bollywood at the moment as there were big hopes from the film. However, Laal Singh Chaddha’s slow box office performance only partly associated with what the film is actually about.

The Hindi remake of Tom Hanks’ iconic Forrest Gump is facing a political ‘boycott’ on social media and the reasons have nothing to do with the film at all. The fact that the makers have taken a bold step by remaking a Hollywood classic also brings comparisons and the movie clashing with Raksha Bandhan also has its own impact on the box office performance.

When it comes to Laal Singh Chaddha the film, the critics and the audience that has watched it have their own views. From some actually feeling the emotion the movie drives to others finding nothing quite spectacular to appreciate about the Aamir Khan starrer it is clear that Laal Singh Chaddha is an entirely average film.

Keeping the calls for boycotting Laal Singh Chaddha aside, what according to many who have watched the film, is not working is Aamir Khan himself. The star’s performance has people being reminded of PK.

Apart from Aamir’s portrayal of a specially abled character, viewers have also been left debating over a few scenes in the film and the negative impact that brings it also diminishing interest. A few have also dubbed the film to be boring and facing comparisons with the original which some find to be far superior.

First of all SSB will not select a mentally challenged person in Indian army. And in movie the character laal Singh chaddha is acting like a joker 🃏. This wouldn't be tolerated. Aamir Khan is good actor he should have cared about these things.#BoycottLalSinghChaddha https://t.co/Q1195TORsQ

Most disappointing thing about Laal Singh Chaddha was Amir Khan and that's the fact.
Best thing? Mona Singh! She looked natural, Amir Khan with his big eye thing looked continuation of PK. And guy who played a punjabi, DJ and his accent here was totally off putting.

Laal Singh Chaddha messed up the portrayal of Indian Army. The Writers were clearly way above their head . Writer's lack of real world experience was evident in the movie . And let's not about how the mental health was joked about in the movie . What a beautiful Opportunity lost

Laal Singh Chaddha is so BAD that it does not even need a Boycott at all.

The Script says it all. It's suicidal. Itne kaise galat ho sakte hai ye log bhai.😑#LaalSinghChaddha

Lal Singh Chaddha was watched. I would've liked the film more if Aamir didn't look like he was mocking persons with special needs instead of portraying one. Sorry, Aamir. The films has alot of heart, if you can look past Aamir's over exaggerated caricature like portrayal.

Just my opinion...Forest Gump is way better than Laal Singh Chaddha

First thought after watching “laal singh chaddha” is “Nakal me bhi akal lagti hai.”Quality of Indian soldiers in kargil war & American soldiers in Vietnam war is incomparable. Most stupid thing is lowIQ kid going to war and winning medal for saving terrorist.#LaalSinghChaddha

So I watched Laal Singh Chaddha in a theatre. It is a "typical" Amir Khan movie, and that's it's fatal flaw. It's a good entertainment, which hallmark of AK movies, but you r too aware of the formula now.

It's not a bad movie. It's not a great movie. It's just good. pic.twitter.com/cNMxT46tTq

Laal Singh Chaddha was four years in the making and was touted to be one of Bollywood’s biggest films. The film has only managed to earn close to Rs. 18 crores in two days.
