The Super 30 trailer was well-received for a number of reasons: it featured the undeniably talented Hrithik Roshan’s first cinematic outing in quite a while. The movie is based on a real story about a man and his unique educational programme and promised to be a realistic biopic rather than our usual formulaic masala offering from Bollywood. So expectations of Super 30 have been high – do the movie reviews match?
This review of Super 30 gives a thumbs up to the film overall, to Roshan's performance and the score as well. According to this review, the movie is intriguing and engrossing and well worth the watch.
There have been rave reviews of the film as well as Hrithik Roshan's performance in the film from celebs such as Farah Khan, Karan Johar, Kriti Sanon, Kunal Kapoor and many others.
The movie has garnered positive reactions from reviewers as well as viewers; some going so far as to call it the Hindi film of the decade.
This line in the film “Raja ka beta raja nahi banega” encapsulates the aspirational and hopeful tone of the film. Some decided to have a bit of fun with this.
This is a question many have asked: the movie is trying to show a regular Indian guy. The solution is to use someone who looks like a regular Indian guy, not slap bronzer on and tousle the hair of an unusually good looking guy.
One reviewer thinks that Roshan is ‘horribly miscast’ and that this is another ‘botched’ biopic from an industry famous for making less than authentic biopics.
The movie shows the protagonist solve complex problems using some simple equations. This is not only shoddy, it is actually disrespectful to engineers feels this reviewer.
The ever-watchful tweeple also picked out a flaw in the math.
Roshan seems to think that his nasal drawl is tantamount to a ‘Bihari’ accent. It is not, a lot of the tweeple assured him.
According to Anupama Chopra, the story about the transformative power of education ought to have been inspiring, but it isn’t. She calls it a film with a dream team, but the film is ‘overcooked’ she says.
Rajeev Masand calls the film sincere but not super. The movie has already received a fairly good opening. If you're up for a great story told via a well-meaning but overly dramatic film that is also derivative, go for Super 30 this weekend.
