Dilwale - Top Reviews
Even if you are not a Rohit Shetty fan, watch this for the chemistry between SRK and Kajol which refuses to simmer down even after all these years
So on overall basis ‘Dilwale’ is not a great watch in comparison to the past work of Shahrukh Khan-Kajol, nor does it have the high entertainment value of a Rohit Shetty film
Even if it does, you have to ask — why are the most powerful names in the business content with doling out recycled mediocrity
On the whole, DILWALE is akin to a mouthwatering meal that satiates the craving of those who relish masalathons, besides being an absolute treat for SRK-Kajol fans. An unadulterated crowd-pleaser, DILWALE delivers what you expect from a Rohit Shetty film: King-sized entertainment. Go for it!
Masala movie with oodles of SRK-Kajol magic
Watch it for Kajol and, to a lesser extent, for SRK. The rest of the actors on this vehicle, barring Varun Sharma on an occasion or two, are mere passengers.
Despite his heart in the right place, Rohit Shetty’s ode to one of Bollywood’s most loved couple fails to recreate their magic
We expect insignificant froth from the director, but this particular can of Rohit Shetty has been lying open too long.''The contents are not merely un-fizzy but, unforgivably, flat
The Shah Rukh Khan film is a random jumble of light, camera, action
We expect insignificant froth from the director, but this particular can of Rohit Shetty has been lying open too long
This Movie Sucks, And We're All To Blame For Its Existence
A Romantic 'Car'avan
Shah Rukh Khan, Kajol's chemistry continues to enchant!

I’m going with two out of five for Dilwale

If you’re a Shah Rukh fan, we won’t even bother with a reason. But even if you aren’t, watch it for the magic the hit jodi (pardon the corny cliché) creates. The story is a little filmy, agreed. But the movie pretty much makes up for it in every other vertical. Watch it to remind yourselves that DDLJ,K3G and K2H2 are not just random assemblages of letters. They are a huge part of the history of Bollywood romances. This movie has everything a commercial entertainer must have, and then some more. Having said that, the film manages to give a lot of clichés a miss, which is quite a pleasant surprise. We recommend: do not miss this one!

Watch Dilwale if you want to relive the SRK-Kajol chemistry or for laugh out moments- for you can be sure that Gauri (producer) and SRK will be laughing all the way to the bank.
Khaleej Times
Rohit Shetty has designed some stunt sequences, which he never did it previously. Those sequences take the movie to the next level. His directional skills are absolutely excellent.

SRK's money dialogue, "Aaj ke baad apna chehra mat dikhana, jaan le longa," seems like a threat for audiences willing to attempt a second watch.

Dilwale is flawed, but it's right for those who believe that love does conquer it all, actually.

Overall, Rohit Shetty has given us a very engaging and commercial mix of romance, comedy, songs and action through of Dilwale. Definitely a must watch for SRK and Kajol fans

The age-old but hot chemistry between SRK and Kajol remains effective to this day and that is why you must watch Dilwale!

The only purpose of “Dilwale” is to chant every known Bollywood mantra for a successful film and cash in on its celebrated lead actors. In that aim, the film is hugely successful.

Varun overdoes it. SRK is hemmed in, Kajol tries too hard. Pankaj Tripathi, now what is an actor like that doing there? Only one having a good time is Sanjay Mishra.

Overall, the script of Dilwale seems to have been written after watching several family dramas and rom-coms put together.
