Development

In January 2015, filmmaker Shetty announced a project with Shah Rukh Khan in the lead. Shetty stated that he would start filming in March 2015.[10][11] Shetty signed actress Kajol opposite Khan. He also signed actor Varun Dhawan who was reportedly playing Khan's brother while actress Kriti Sanon was signed opposite him.[12]

Filming

Principal photography began on 20 March 2015 with Dhawan.[13][14]

Release

Dilwale was released on 18 December 2015 in India, Australia, Norway, Pakistan, Myanmar, the United Kingdom, Canada, the United States and South Africa.

On 14 December 2015, in the United Kingdom, the film received a 12A classification from the British Board of Film Classification for "moderate violence". IG Interactive Entertainment Limited (the film's UK distributor) chose to remove thirteen seconds in order to obtain this rating (the excised material being scenes involving stronger violence than possible for a 12A rating). An uncut 15-rated version is available.[2]

Critical reception

The film received generally negative reviews from critics who criticized the plot and felt that the film was driven solely by the ensemble cast. Rohit Vats, of The Hindustan Times, gave the film a 5/5 rating and called the plot "highly predictable"[15] Namrata Joshi of The Hindu stated that "With Dilwale, Rohit Shetty goes hopelessly wrong despite much that he had at his disposal, including a power-packed cast and producer". Joshi also felt that the attempt to repackage Khan and Kajol backfired.[16] The Economic times felt the film "lacks soul and freshness" and stated the film will only appeal to fans of Khan and Kajol. NDTV Movies felt the film's plot "went in circles" and while Kajol was great, the film overall failed to appeal.[17]
