I very much like this Movie Dilwale is a good FAMILY movie. There is Action( with many cars and shooting) ; for the first time you see Kajol do some action herself ( with cars and fights) which was very, very cool! There are two nice love stories ( one is very curious, passionate, and intense that develops over a span of time) .
The intensity of Shahrukh Khan is really nice in this movie ( in both action and romance) and the passion and expressiveness of Kajol ( in both the softer scenes and the more intense scenes) is beautiful throughout. And the other love story is a light-hearted playful, love that is performed well by Varun Dhawan and Kriti Sanon. The comedy is quite good too. Varun Dhawan, Johnny Lever, Boman Irani, Varun Sharma, Sanjay Mishra, and all the others are quite funny. And the nice part is that it flowed well within the story. It wasn't forced comedy like you see in some of the older Hindi movies. All the songs are superb and each one has it's own flavor. I have to mention that Kajol and Shahrukh in Iceland are absolutlely stunning! If you have children, you should definitely see this movie because it is quite entertaining, clean, and fun to watch! My son is 11 and really liked it!
Maybe it takes a Rohit Shetty to make a Dilwale - tell the same story, with the same twists, and yet make it so heady that you don't want the film to end. Or maybe it takes a Shah Rukh Khan to do that and not get tired. Nor do his fans, for that matter. Dilwale, of course, is different. Apart from everything usual that a Rohit Shetty film does, Dilwale has Kajol. Touted as the actor's big comeback, the return of the iconic SRK-Kajol jodi on screen, the film has kept people waiting with bated breath ever since it was first announced. So does Dilwale live up to the mark?
For starters, that 'mark' is pretty low, to begin with. One cannot expect a mind-blowing, Inception-esque script from Shetty, but that's no dampener. The director, along with the ever dependable arms-outstretched version of Shah Rukh Khan, gives the audience the standard fare in Dilwale. With flying cars ( not Scorpios, thankfully) , the ladies and the laughs, the film scores high on the predictable-yet-enjoyable factor.
Raj ( Shah Rukh Khan) lives in Goa with his brother Veer ( Varun Dhawan) , his sidekicks and friends Shakti ( Mukesh Tiwari) and Anwar ( Pankaj Tripathi) .

One fine morning, when Ishita ( Kriti Sanon) hitch-hikes her way into Veer's life, the two fall in love and the inevitable happens. Well, the boy-can't-marry-girl diktat happens too, but right now, a flashback is what we're talking about.
The story moves to 15 years ago, to a distant Bulgaria. Raj here is known as Kali, a dreaded Indian gangster who fires bullets at people and flies his cars with scant respect for life or anything else. Enter Meera ( Kajol) . The sparks fly, the cars fly, the pallus fly and the whistles in the theatre just don't stop. Shah Rukh and Kajol together, is, after all, something that many have waited for for long.
Soon, Kali and Meera find out that they are the Montagues and Capulets in Shetty's no-love-lost story. And history, as they say, repeats itself with Veer and Ishita walking the same way.
