New Delhi: Aamir Khan’s much-awaited movie Laal Singh Chaddha has finally made a theatrical release today. After a hiatus, Aamir Khan and Kareena Kapoor khan will be sharing the silver screen. Advait Chandan’s directorial is an official Hindi remake of the 1994 Academy Award-winning movie Forrest Gump which featured Tom Hanks in the lead role. The film clashes with Akshay Kumar’s family drama Raksha Bandhan.
Much before its release, the movie faced a lot of controversy and backlash with Twitter trending ‘Laal Singh Chaddha’ and ‘Boycott Laal Singh Chaddha’ over Aamir Khan’s controversial ‘India’s growing intolerance’ statement was made in the past. However, the actor earnestly requested his fans to watch the movie.
The movie is receiving severe criticism the first day after hitting the theatres. Movie trade analyst Taran Adarsh defined the movie as “disappoints.” However, some are praising the movie and the actor for standing out on its own despite being a remake.
Take a look at some of the reviews:
Film #LaalSinghChaddha has got worst opening of the year. Film is having 10% opening in B-C centres and 20% opening in big cities like Delhi, Mumbai, Pune etc. It is lowest opening of any Film of Aamir in last 10 years.

#OneWordReview…#LaalSinghChaddha: DISAPPOINTS.
Rating: ⭐️⭐️#AamirKhan’s comeback vehicle #LSC runs out of fuel midway… Lacks a captivating screenplay to enthrall you [second half goes downhill]… Has some terrific moments, but lacks fire in totality. #LaalSinghChaddhaReview pic.twitter.com/rTuYfJT629— taran adarsh (@taran_adarsh) August 11, 2022
When you watch #LaalSinghChaddha, you support Aamir Khan’s:
* PK, Satyamev Jayate etc that solely targeted H. Never took on evils, brutalities of his own faith.
* Kiran Rao’s anti-India remark.
* Meeting First Lady of Turkey, which is openly anti-India.
* Funding likes of Zubair.— Abhijit Majumder (@abhijitmajumder) August 1, 2022
#LaalSinghChaddha ⭐️⭐️ #LSC is a poor adaptation of #ForrestGump ,it lacks soul & emotions of the original classic..There are few feel good moments but the overall impact is unsatisfactory.. #AamirKhan repeats his character samar from D3, he over acted throughout. EPIC LET DOWN pic.twitter.com/ApPOcYq0vJ

Saw #LaalSinghChaddha last night. What an epic performance by Aamir…one of his finest (and that says a lot for someone with the body of work that he has…Lagaan, Gajni, Dangal etc.). The film grows on you & you fall in love wid Laal Singh. Wishing @AKPPL_Official all the best ?

Watched #LaalSinghChaddha – this Aamir Khan Film Offers You Lots Of ‘Golgapaas’ But Fails To Move Your Hearts! Kapoor’s Rupa’s role is almost completely flat,removing one of the most interesting aspects of the original film .(1.5*/5) Naga’s Hindi ?? pic.twitter.com/TYESAcDYfk

Just look at that stupid face he is making. Tom Hanks had brought nuance to a nuerodivergent man. This idiot is just making fun of them. I have been around enough such people to know they don’t look like cartoons. pic.twitter.com/VZCM3PoKbU— Mahitha Reddy (@MahimahiIn) August 11, 2022

On Wednesday, the makers of Laal Singh Chaddha hosted a grand premiere of their film in Mumbai. While addressing the media, Aamir Khan stated, “We need your blessings guys. I usually get stressed before the release of my film, and this time also I am not able to sleep for the past one month, but today morning I visited Darbar sahib, Golden Temple, post that I felt relieved, and now I believe whatever happens it will be fine as it is. So thank you so much.”
