Two A-list stars, great songs but still a forgettable film

London Dreams, starring Salman Khan, Ajay Devgn and Asin, is a fairly average film - predictable story and uneven pacing - but the soundtrack is outstanding. Tracks like Man Ko Ati Bhave, Khanabadosh and Barso Yaaron still hit hard.

It's also one of the rare movies where two top-tier stars share the screen in a proper drama, something we hardly see today. So what went wrong? Weak writing, poor execution or just bad timing? Let's discuss.


Shobha

I really liked the film; Salman delivered an excellent performance!


Rekha

It was a good movie, definitely underrated. Add it to Jaan-e-Man as one of Salman's most underappreciated films.

Jignesh

The Hanuman Chalisa segment was amazing. Loved it and used to play the songs at full volume at my friends' gatherings.

Malini

A very underrated movie. The BGM and songs were fire, and Salman did well.

Kunal

Salman and Ajay seemed a bit old for their roles.

I know Ranveer debuted in 2010, but hypothetically he and Ranbir would have killed it as the two protagonists.

Amitabh

Great music.
The problem is that Ajay is just coasting in the movie.
Salman was fantastic.
I think it's a solid 6.5-7 because I loved the music.
Fun fact: SRK and Aamir were supposed to be the leads with A.R. Rehman as music director in the late '90s or early 2000s.

Payal

I find it pretty underrated, to be honest! The soundtrack is to die for - such bangers!

Sakshi

Couldn't buy the movie logic. London crowds filling stadiums and going berserk over two guys singing Hindi pop - too much of a joke.
The makers tried to copy Amadeus and miserably failed.
