The team up of Sooraj Barjatya and Salman khan takes ur expectations pretty high for this one but leads to disappointment as the movie is pretty tiring and full of boredom. Major problem being the plot in itself as its adapted from a Bengali movie of a royal dynasty story. The look being all that of a royal family with almost all forts of Rajasthan used to shoot but the storyline itself has too much of flaws taking the fact why would it be so important to announce Salman as a king in a Raj tilak in today's time and Salmans accident scene which happens in a 'royal' horsecart when they have fleets of Mercedes and ipads technologies otherwise. So they filmed it same as it is from the Bengali film which was based on olden times which leads to a mismatch of logic for this flick.
This time no big families or weddings unlike other rajshri movies but its again a family drama with a love story. Too many songs and nothing exciting by himesh reshammiya on music front. The lyrics try to be situational which is not needed to be explained for this simple storyline. For example 'Aaj unse milna hai humein' comes before Salman meets Sonam. So obvious isn't it??
Coming to performances its completely a Salman khan movie ( u will like him as prem dilwala) , he is majorly in the frame others been sidelined. Anupam kher, Deepak dobriyal and swara bhaskar have done their bit well.Sonam doesn't seem to be serious on her role as a royal princess. Arman Kohli and Neil Nitin Mukesh pretty avoidable.
Overall an avoidable movie this diwali. Simply hyped leading to another undeserving movie joining 100 crore club.
Verdict - 2 on 5 **

Main Aur CHARLES ...A Disappointment till the End !!!
Although being a low budget movie , but the strong n complex character of Charles sobhraj & his life journey was expected to be portrayed more deeply. There was a lot more to cover which is not shown thus making the movie neither an absolute biopic of the bikini killer nor an entertaining conman story.
The director praawal raman fails big time to make the movie crisp and clear in its views or storytelling making it one of his worst attempts till date. Neither the plot has a grip nor editing is in line to keep u engaged from the beginning itself. Repetitive scenes and unnecessary skin show leads to boredom. Nothing great as far as music or dialogues are concerned either. The 1st half is a waste of the screentime, the movie unfolds to some sense only in the latter one. Several parts or character of sobhraj's criminal life are not highlighted and the slow pace of the movie makes it worse.
As far as performances are concerned Adil Hussain and Richa chaddha (having major roles) are too bad to play their bit. Randeep hooda tries to work on his character with his accent and look resembling to sobhraj but only looks OK as compared to other actors atleast. Overall its an avoidable one this week. The makers have thugged u like the criminal if u go for this 1 ;)
Verdict : 1.5 on 5 *
