What to Know

Critics Consensus

It's indebted to its source material to the point of creative poverty, but Laal Singh Chaddha is also such an amiable retelling that it's difficult to dislike.

Audience Says

Laal Chingh Saddha puts Forrest Gump in a fresh cultural context, and Aamir Khan is terrific in the lead role.

A simple tale about a simple man. But those tunes are dynamite. Go to Full Review

If you have a passing knowledge of Gump, Laal Singh Chaddha is often a strange experience, in places a Gus Van Sant-esque facsimile rather than a remake. But it is not without its charms. Go to Full Review
Shubhra Gupta The Indian Express 08/12/2022

It’s not just the pace of the film which is the trouble. It is also, centrally and crucially, Sardar Laal Singh Chaddha himself, as played by Aamir Khan. Go to Full Review
Rahul Desai The Hollywood Reporter India 09/27/2024
One glance at Rupa's face in the opening strands of Tere Hawaale, and it emerges that Kapoor Khan is playing a woman who starts dying the day she is born. It's not so much a performance as a subdued symphony of wounds. Go to Full Review
Prabhjot Bains Tilt Magazine 11/02/2023
Like a box of “Gol Gappe” Laal Singh Chaddha adds a depth of flavour to what might otherwise have been an uninspired adaptation. Go to Full Review

4/5
It's quite the gender role reversal from what usually plays out in most Indian households every day. To watch this man be soft and vulnerable -- far removed from the ideas of toxic masculinity -- is a thing of beauty. Go to Full Review
