What’s initially so discombobulating here is that that film’s stars Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol should be reunited in a very different movie. Where the original was a lush, keening romance, the new one foregrounds elements of those pulpy crime stories about one sibling getting inextricably drawn into another’s risky business.
The good brother here is Raj ( Khan) , a former tough who reformed upon opening an auto repair shop. Yet one of the hot-rods parked under his roof is trickier to handle than most: this is younger brother Veer ( Varun Dhawan) , who – while attempting to impress the winsome Ishu ( Kriti Sanon) – crosses a fearsome drug dealer.
