Remember 'Hum Saath Saath Hain', that was Sooraj Barjatya 16 years
back where he conquered hearts with basic human goodness instilled in a family
melodrama quite convincingly, Prem Ratan Dhan Payo runs on the same line, add
to it some English speaking characters with too many apples ( i Phone and i
Pad) and Haldiram's. It’s a familiar tale that has gone on to become rusty and
outdated and doesn’t look convincing in 2015, how did Vijay Singh survived the
accident is still a mystery to me!
Brotherhood, forgiveness, family re-union, these are all familiar
known territories that doesn't work anymore, that doesn't have the power to
make one cry anymore, this is something that would have worked a decade ago and
to make things worse the weak script is bombarded with some average
compositions one after another where only Jalte Diye and Bachpan Kaha leaves an
impact up to an extent.
It fails to evoke emotions for the Royal King and his family, it
doesn’t have moments where you pray for a happy ending for the family, the
dialogues are strictly below average, the humour is missing, the characters are
never fleshed out adequately. The charisma and star power of Salman Khan is the
only saviour where he carries the Bajrangi (Bajrangi Bhaijaan) charm forward;
he is in terrific form indeed.
