Emotion sells - random action without feeling is just noise and people get bored. Something Rajamouli gets, but most have forgotten now.
This movie is also written by Vijayendra Prasad, Rajamouli's father.
You don't need 20 cars blowing up or stupid scenes like in War 2 or Pathan.
We love Ghatak, Ghayal, Deewar, Sholay, Zanjeer because our hero is so troubled that we crave revenge - but it has to be presented well.
When Salman cries, we all cry.
Plus, the cinematography is top‑notch. Look at the bright colours and the framing - the colours hide the darkness and depravity. This was also the time when Salman could still move his face. There's a reason he's such a successful actor; his sheer presence shines.
What the heck is Getflix?
Superb scene! He should have lifted him off the wires and done it 3‑4 times again. About 10‑15 seconds after this clip ends, you see him walking with Munni on his back, the resolve in his eyes completely different from the tears here, realizing how messed up the world can be and feeling guilt for Munni's plight.
My favourites will always be the last scene and the Surang crossing (border crossing) scenes ❤️ ❤️

When the whole audience can feel a character's pain and rage, dialogues become unnecessary. I've only seen my father cry twice - once when my grandmother passed away and once while watching this movie.
Salman Khan has at least two movies where he used the Hanuman Chalisa so well, and in both he gave a great performance.
Totally agree. Bhoi acted brilliantly in this scene. He's both angry and sad, which is hard to pull off.
When he stops the goon from grabbing the girl, he looks utterly disappointed. His eyes say, "Dude, seriously? You're trying to snatch this little girl?" It's like he's lost faith in humanity.
Very well‑made scene!
I'm not sure if anyone mentioned this, but Salman's best conviction‑driven acting is in a forgotten gem called Veergati, from early in his career when he still wanted to be taken seriously as an actor and carry a film on his shoulders based on the script and subject, even though the 90s were a rough time for Bollywood movies. I'll defend that claim till the end. Despite its limitations, Veergati remains Salman's finest hour in terms of genuinely pouring his soul into a role he truly believed in.
Bhai's screen presence needs to be studied. He owns the frame with confidence. Dabangg is another great example of this.
