The bad guy this time is played by Aamir Khan, one of the biggest stars to come out of Bollywood in the past twenty years. And, frankly, he steals the show. With little plot to actually go on, the movie relies on the performance of the actors. While Abhishek Bachchan delivers his Jai more stoic than ever and Ali is goofier than ever, even going as far as to admit that his brain is like a raisin (“Small, but sweet”, he says), our duo of heroes delivers little in the way of new elements to the movies. In fact, you’ll probably recognize the story or rather elements of it from other movies, in addition to the fact that the movie’s been shot in some of the same locations Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight was shot and borrows from that movie’s visuals occasionally.
Anyways, Aamir Khan. He steals the show. No questions. He portrays the villain of the story with enough smugness to make him a very badass character. There’s not much depth to him other than him being the orphaned child of a circus director with a grudge and insane skills. Funnily enough, as badass as he is, it’s not until the end-credits where he really gets to shine. Stellar performance right there. And you know who else outdoes themselves? The people who never get seen, the ones who don’t have big names. The ones who risk life and limb for our entertainment. The stuntmen.
