PRDP REVIEW: ‘PREM RATAN DHAN PAYO’ 27 YEARS TOO LATE!

Almost 27 years ago Sooraj Barjatya made a movie called ‘Maine Pyar Kiya‘ and transformed Salman Khan into Prem for the first time. The film also attributed to Salman becoming a star. Over the years, Salman’s age increased and his stardom was touching the sky. Prem got left behind and took his place was taken by characters such as Chulbul Pandey and Bajrangi. We do not know why Barjatya thought taking Salman 27 years behind was a good idea?

Nearly three hours long, the film is the story of three lines moving so slow that you’ll end up saying, Prem Ratan Dhan Sardard. But even in such a weak film, the power of Salman Khan shines through. His super-stardom and screen presence is so amazing that even in a boredom filled film, one can also applaud several scenes with Salman.

Just like every other Barjatya film, this is not a happy family. The story is about a monarchy, which we aren’t sure if it’s in Gujrat or in Rajasthan. There is a prince, conspiring brothers and step-sisters. Prince Vijay (Salman Khan), his younger brother Ajay (Neil Nitin Mukesh) live together.

Salman Khan’s films do not care about the important story. Salman, is everything, the main attraction. This was also a story that could be an entertaining film but alas, it could not be. Rajshri Productions films in the style of family values, relationships and loves to play the long-long scene, but inspite of the grandeur it does nothing but resemble a saas-bahu TV serial.

To make up for the weak script almost every scene of the film, the director has put Salman Khan. He has played both roles reliably in his own special way. Particularly, the scenes with Sonam Kapoor.

The other’s play their roles more like guest appearances. The slow pace of the film, is supplemented by composer Himesh Reshammiya’s 10 songs, most of which were done to avoid the story from lagging. In recent years, this Salman starrer film has the weakest album.

This movie is all about Sallu bhai. Maybe that’s enough for Salman’s fans and the box office.
