The fact of life is when someone is better/more talented/superior to us in our OWN area of expertise, we can never reconcile ourselves to accept it. It’s a rare case, when a friend A is happy for friend B easily acquired success, when friend A wants it more and struggles more than friend B.

The friend A in this flick is Ajay Devgn’s Arjun and friend B is Salman Khan’s Mannu.

Frankly, it’s nice to see a film attempt tell a different story about the goals/dreams we all seek and how they truly unfold given the overzealous pursuit of fame, wealth, power and success at any cost. Everyone will understand the jealousy that plagues Arjun because secretly we feel jelly incessantly!

Frankly, there are simply 5 clear reasons why YOU should see London Dreams:

1. Salman Khan. His cute antics, witty one-liners and just outright pind-wala mannerisms (not to forget his oh-so-cute nickname for Asin “Chennai Express”)

2. Ajay Devgn. The intensity by which he plays someone struggling between friendship and his goals is too superb. His clothes and accessories reflect his inner turmoil. The scene where he breakdowns foreshadwoing revenge  in front of  a clueless Mannu is just brilliant!

3. The scene in which Mannu takes a simple tune Arjun is composing and put its to a filmy tune, a ghazal tune and a hip-hop tune. Just purely electrifying!

4. Chemistry between Devgn & Khan. They are perfect as contrasts for each other. Some of the best scenes is when Arjun can’t handle Mannu’s adulations and talent.

5. The great theatrical sets and the concert scenes featuring the songs:

On a minor note, look out for the two bandmates Aditya Roy Kapoor with his big curly hair and funny moments and dreamy conspirator of Arjun’s revenge Rannvijay Singh.

We NEED to give special mention to those two adorable additions in the film little Arjun and little Mannu. Rohin Bains played the knee-high Mannu with such great naughtiness and authenticy. He even looked the part! Even Little Arjun was cast perfectly!!

We give the film 3 mirchis out of 5!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We love the music, the casting was brilliant, styling was perfect and sets were extravagant!

Reasons’ enough to book tickets or catch it in cinema’s this weekend???

YES YES YES!!!
