The film was released in India and Pakistan on 12 November 2015 to very mixed reviews from critics and audience.[9] It emerged as a commercial success with a gross over ₹367 crore (US$44 million) in 11 days worldwide.

The film was also released in Telugu and Tamil versions as Prema Leela and Mei Maranthaayo Anbe respectively.[10][11]

Plot

Yuvraj Vijay Singh (Salman Khan) a prince of Pritampur, is soon to be crowned as king and is engaged to Princess Maithili (Sonam Kapoor), but due to his stiff and stubborn nature Vijay faces many problems with Maithili as well as with his brother and sisters. His step sisters Rajkumari Chandrika (Swara Bhaskar) and Rajkumari Radhika (Aashika Bhatia) live in a separate house outside the royal palace, while his step brother Yuvraj Ajay Singh (Neil Nitin Mukesh) wants to kill him and take the crown with the aid of his manager Chirag Singh (Armaan Kohli), who is misguiding Ajay at every step. Yuvraj Vijay barely escapes a plan coordinated by Yuvraj Ajay and Singh to kill him and he's hidden in a secret chamber maintained by two doctors. Meanwhile, Vijay's lookalike Prem Dilwale (Salman Khan) a perky, lively and carefree stage actor who falls in love with Princess Maithili, reaches Pritampur to meet her along with his friend Kanhaiya (Deepak Dobriyal). At a bus stop, the Security Head of Pritampur Palace, Sanjay (Deepraj Rana) notices him by chance, and takes him to Diwan Sahib (Anupam Kher). Upon witnessing the striking resemblance he and Yuvraj Vijay come up with the plan that Prem take Yuvraj Vijay's place while Yuvraj recovers in a hideout.

Prem acts as Yuvraj Vijay but with his simple and caring nature, impresses Maithili who earlier wanted to break up with Vijay. Prem also reconciles with his sisters and brings them back to the royal palace. Yuvraj Ajay and Chirag kidnap the real Vijay. Chirag decides to double cross Ajay, as he frees Vijay and provokes him against Ajay and Prem. Vijay and Ajay get involved in a sword fight when Prem and Kanhaiya intervene and clear the confusion. Chirag tries to shoot them down but falls to his death.

Ajay regrets his deeds, while Vijay reconciles with his family. Maithili is shocked to know the truth about Prem and realizes that she loves Prem not Vijay, while Prem returns to his home. At the end, the royal family reaches Prem's house to reunite Prem and Maithili.

Cast

Critical reception

The film received mixed reviews from critics.

Taran Adarsh of Bollywood Hungama gave the film four-and-a-half stars out of five, stating that "On the whole, PRDP is the perfect Diwali entertainer for the entire family. The film will win abundant love [prem], while its investors will reap a harvest [dhan], making it a memorable Diwali for all concerned." [12] Srijana Mitra Das of Times of India rated the film with 3.5/5 stars stating that PRDP is Salman Khan's triumph and he " simply blows the top off the theatres with a double role that makes you laugh, gasp, sigh - and cry." She also appreciated the performance of Sonam Kapoor, Deepak Dobriyal, Aashika and Swara Bhaskar.[13] Sonia Chopra of Sify gave 3/5 stars rating saying that the film has its faults, but with actor Salman Khan's dual role, the movie is sure to hit the right spots with the family audience.[14] Rajeev Masand of CNN-IBN gave the film a rating of 3/5 stars saying that the director employed the same successful formula he had tried in his previous films, but now "the tropes have gotten rusty, the emotions seldom feel genuine, and the writing is strictly surface level". He concluded that the film's only saving grace is the presence of Salman Khan who is in good form.[15]

Shubhra Gupta of Indian Express gave the film a low rating of 1.5/5 stars, calling it a re-imagining of Ramayan and its million stories, criticizing it as "an out-dated, overblown rehash of the director's previous films",[16] while Rohit Vats of Hindustan Times gave the film only 2/5 stars, calling it "as a film straight out of the '80s" rehashing the director's same formula, but appreciated music director Himesh Reshammiya and lead actor Salman Khan as "quite likeable and his comic timing has gotten better".[17] Anna MM Vetticad of First Post thrashed the film as "half-baked, lifeless, low-IQ film with its juvenile humour and family politics that resembles circumstances in the cheapest saas-bahu soaps now running on Hindi fiction TV." and "lacks even the few qualities that made his earlier ventures bearable ".[18] Sukanya Verma of Rediff.com rated the film a 2.5/5 stars stating, " PRDP sticks to its beliefs on sibling affection, family values and coy courtship and takes a lengthy route to assert so. Yet it is not the predictability but the lop-sided sentimentality of the director's narrative that hurts PRDP's intentions the most." She criticized the director for recycling "men versus women sporting contests, midnight kitchen rendezvous and the pristine aura of Prem", but appreciated the performance of Salman Khan eventhough it never matched his previous Bajrangi Bhaijaan act.[19]
