Thugs of Hindustan

Watched the movie as mentioned above
---------------------------------------------------------------
Thugs of Hindustan
  • This movie was watched on Amazon Prime Video. 
  • This movie was not up to the mark.
  • No wonder it deserved the fate it got.
  • The movie resembles Aamir Khan movie when he came to industry initially.
  • He used to sign films left right and center.
  • And in one earlier movie (I do not recollect the name but I am sure Google will have the answer) there was a scene where he went to some tribal area and then there were cannibals and then solar eclipse came and he and other people escaped by making it appear as magic.
  • Then I had seen one interview where he told that "I made the mistake that I used to only read script and accept the movie" but then he had modified and saw the background of the producers and directors as well as script before the movie.
  • I am talking about early 1990's dear people.
  • And in another movie "Mela" with his brother Faisal Khan he was a truck driver and could not stop and so did piss in a bottle and Johny Lever, the cop pulled him over and drank that thinking liquor and enjoyed it.
  • Thugs of Hindustan is such kind of movie.
  • Maybe they should have stuck to history like Manikarnika movie then the movie would have been great.
  • Instead they showed some crazy things which the audience found unbelievable and gave Aamir the boot.
  • It is slapstick movie and China public also rejected it.
  • I think Aamir Khan got carried away by watching too many Chinese Martial Arts movies.
  • And showed the Western man as villian which is common theme in Indian and Chinese historical movies.
  • But the movie bombed and I guess it serves them right.
  • The people making movies cannot take people watching movies as granted.
  • Sooner or later they will teach them a lesson.
  • Also I agree with KRK review that Amitabh Bachchan has been shown as a powerful warrior who rescues the princess.
  • If he was such brave why could not he prevent the kingdom takeover by East India Company in the first place.
  • Amitabh Bachchan has done a good performance.
  • Also the actual thugs were land based and not sea based as shown. If sea based then they would have been pirates. Guess they should have stuck to history.
