Has anyone else watched this yet? It's one of the rare Indian movies (probably the first one since Lagaan?) that has managed to cut through the Western barrier and has actually gained some traction in the U.S - and I'm pretty sure it was breaking the top 10 on Netflix over here too at some point.
And with good reason to be fair, it is absolutely feckin' bonkers - a proper live action cartoon (I think the thing it reminded me of most is Kung Fu Hustle?) that has some of the most insane, over-the-top sequences you are likely to see on screen. It's also got musical numbers (obviously), comedy, romance, a sweeping story, the English being dicks, CGI Tigers, and frankly, all the homo-eroticisim that Top Gun Maverick was supposed to have but lacked.
It's currently sitting on an 8.0 on imdb, 91% on RT and 84% on Metacritic... and even though it is 3 hours, I'd say its worthy of your time - especially as there's a pretty clear break about half way through the film so you can watch it in two sittings if needs be (almost feels like it's two movies in one)
