DIRECTION - Chillar Party was a movie with some serious message but was a little preachy and Bhootnath Returns went full preachy. If it didn't happen in reality then it was really unnecessary.
The only scene which felt a bit off is where Mahavir gets locked up in a room before the final fight. It was fine for the light-hearted scenes but the serious scenes required silence but I can give it a pass. I am not a fan of narration and I wasn't really liking it here either. Little nods and grunts and expressions serve more than an explanatory conversation. The dialogue in this movie is a lesson as to how dialogue should be used. I have said this that dialogue shouldn't seem like dialogue unless it is a musical or a re-imagining of a play. Even movies like Mary Kom or Bhaag Milkha Bhaag started to drag by the end but hats off to Piyush Gupta and Shreyas Jain. There was a very natural flow to the story which helped engage the audience for 2 hours and 41 minutes.
None of the scenes linger on for a long period of time. The songs blend in very well with the premise.
SCRIPT - Major props to bringing out a story which is inspiring and one which India needs right now. If you're going to this movie thinking Aamir will be flexing and showcasing his acting prowess then well and good but the girls are the highlight of the movie, hands down. If I would I've seen this movie in 2016, it certainly would have been in my list of best movies.
