Laal Singh Chaddha is a 2022 Indian Hindi-language comedy drama film directed by Advait Chandan and written by Atul Kulkarni. The film is jointly produced by Paramount Pictures, Aamir Khan Productions and Viacom18 Studios. It is a remake of the 1994 American film Forrest Gump,[4] which itself is an adaptation of the novel of the same name by Winston Groom.[5] The film stars Aamir Khan as the title character alongside Kareena Kapoor Khan, Naga Chaitanya and Mona Singh.[6]

The adaptation of Forrest Gump underwent a series of changes over a period of two decades, with Kulkarni spending the first ten years adapting the script, and another ten years purchasing the remake rights.[7] Aamir Khan bought the rights to the film in early 2018 with the help of Los Angeles-based producer and director Radhika Chaudhari and announced the film officially on 14 March 2019, with its title.[8][non-primary source needed] The film's score is by Tanuj Tiku, while its original songs are composed by Pritam and their lyrics are written by Amitabh Bhattacharya.[9]

Laal Singh Chaddha has been filmed in more than 100 Indian locations.[10] Principal photography began in October 2019 and concluded in September 2021, after multiple delays due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[11] The film was initially scheduled for cinema release on multiple dates in 2020–2022, but kept getting delayed due to the production halt caused by the pandemic. It was theatrically released worldwide on 11 August 2022, coinciding with Raksha Bandhan and Independence Day.[12] It opened to mixed reviews from critics and audience, with praise for its adaptation to the new setting, faithfulness to the source material, depth, soundtrack, background score and emotion, but received criticism for Khan's performance. Against its ₹1.8 billion budget, the film generated a total revenue of ₹1.29 billion at the worldwide box office. It was declared a box office flop in India, though it was successful overseas.

Plot

[edit]

In 2018, while on a train bound for Karauli, Rajasthan, a Sikh man named Laal Singh Chaddha recounts the story of his life to fellow passengers who happen to sit near to him, while eating golgappas. As a boy, in 1977, Laal is told he has a 75 IQ. He is also fitted with leg braces to correct a curved spine. He lives in Karoli, Punjab, with his mother, who runs a farm and encourages him to live beyond his disabilities. He meets a girl named Rupa D'Souza on his first day of school, and the two become best friends. One day, a group of bullies starts pelting stones at Laal. When he runs to escape them, his leg braces come off, and he realizes that he is a fast runner. Rupa's father is arrested after he beats her mother to death; Rupa then is sent to live with her maternal grandmother, who previously worked at Laal's house. He is happy as now he and Rupa can always be together. When the 1984 anti-Sikh riots begin, Laal and his mother go to stay at his aunt's place to be safe. There, he meets a young Shah Rukh Khan and teaches him dance steps and poses which he would later use in his career.

To be less conspicuous to rioters, Laal's mother cuts off his traditional long hair and has him not wear a turban, in order to protect his Sikh identity. She then sends him and Rupa to Hindu College, Delhi, where the two witness L.K. Advani's Ram Rath Yatra procession pass by. Laal's mother uses a fabricated story of widespread 'malaria' outbreaks in the country as a ploy to stop her son from leaving college. Laal turns out to be a good runner. Throughout college, he takes part in track and field competitions, winning all of them. While Laal becomes a national-level athlete, Rupa participates in modeling and beauty competitions, as she dreams of becoming a successful and famous model in Mumbai.

After graduating college, Laal follows his family traditions of serving the country by enlisting as a recruit in the Army. During his training at the Parachute Regiment Centre, Laal meets Balaraju "Bala" Bodi, becoming good friends with him. Bala wants to start an undergarment business. He convinces Laal to join him in a manufacturing company together, once they leave the army. Meanwhile, Rupa goes to Mumbai to pursue her dreams.

In 1999, the Kargil War breaks out between India and Pakistan. Laal and Bala are part of the same platoon of the parachute battalion deployed in Kargil. Laal's platoon, under Captain Sandeep, is tasked to reclaim a bunker captured by the Pakistani intruders. Local shepherds, who had provided intelligence to the captain, incorrectly stated that there were no more than 5-6 Pakistanis; as Sandeep's platoon attacks the bunker, he realises that there are far more than six intruders, and that the platoon is heavily outnumbered. He calls base headquarters for artillery support, before ordering his platoon to fall-back, in a tactical retreat, until the bunker’s position is confirmed by artillery fire. He vows to take over the post th fire. Laal, while following Capt Sandeep's instructions runs towards their base amidst enemy fire, but soon realizes that Bala is left behind in the battlefield. He goes back amidst raging bullets from the enemy to look for Bala, but every time he goes back, he finds another soldier who is injured. Laal carries these injured soldiers back to safety. In this confusion of battle he also saves a Pakistani commander, not knowing he was the enemy. He finally finds Bala and he carries him back on his shoulders to safety. But Bala dies in his arms, leaving Laal heartbroken. Later on Independence Day, in the Defence Investiture ceremony, Naik Laal Singh Chaddha is awarded the gallantry award of Vir Chakra by the President of India for his act of bravery in saving five lives.

Rupa never responds to any letters that Laal sends her. She had become the mistress of a gangster, who takes advantage of her and lied to her about helping fulfill her dreams. Laal goes to meet her one day, and sees the man slap her; he responds angrily by beating the man up. Laal says that he loves Rupa, but she tells him that they have no future together, and that he should forget her. Laal, randomly, sees Mohammed (the Pakistani commander he had saved during the war), whom had escaped from the hospital before anyone discovered his true identity. He had been living alone, using a wheelchair, ever since. The two strike-up a friendship. Mohammed loves Laal for his purity and innocence, and subsequently feels guilty due to his past violent acts of terrorism.

Laal leaves the Army and finally joins Bala in the undergarment business, but doesn't know how to market the product sufficiently. Mohammed joins the team, and has the idea that if the brand is named after a girl, then maybe their sales would increase. Laal knew only one girl, so he renames the company "Rupa". Sales start to grow, and soon the company starts selling underwear to all of India, making Laal and Mohammed successful entrepreneurs. Mohammed invests some of their funds in the Bombay Stock Exchange, which Laal thinks is "some kind of cowshed", but they become even wealthier. Mohammed later returns to Pakistan and opens a school for children. Laal gives half of his earnings to Bala's family for having inspired the business venture. Laal's mother also passes away from cancer, leaving him alone in life.

Laal dedicates his time to tending the land his mother left him. Rupa later comes back to stay with him. She reciprocates his feelings finally, and the two make love. Sometime later, the police come and arrest Rupa due to her past links with the underworld; without Laal knowing, she is jailed for six months. Laal is heartbroken and decides to go running "for no particular reason". He goes on a cross-country marathon for over four years. People think that he might be running for some great purpose, and the media starts covering his journey. His run covers almost every inch of India. After years of running, he suddenly stops. Many people had started running along with him, thinking that he was running for some great purpose. They ask him why he stopped, expecting a philosophical answer. Laal says that he is tired and that he just wants to go back home.

Upon reaching home, Laal wears a turban again after many years. He is pleasantly surprised to know that Rupa had written him a lot of letters. He tells his fellow passengers on the train that Rupa had served her sentence and is now living in Chandigarh, and he is on his way to meet her. Laal finally reunites with Rupa and finds out that he is the father of her son named Aman. He is overwhelmed with emotion and the two get married. The three start living together. Soon, Rupa becomes sick and dies later in 2018 due to a disease. Laal takes care of Aman and takes him to the same school he went to, thinking his life had come full circle.

Development

[edit]

In August 2018, Aamir Khan announced that he had purchased the remake rights of the 1994 American drama Forrest Gump, from Paramount Pictures,[21] which produced the film, and also suggested he will play the lead role in this film.[22][23] On 14 March 2019, coinciding with his 54th birthday,[24] Khan officially announced the project which has been named Laal Singh Chaddha,[25][26] with his ex-wife Kiran Rao co-producing the film. Advait Chandan, who previously directed Khan's Secret Superstar (2017), was signed in to direct the remake.[27][28]

Kulkarni, who also worked with Khan in Rang De Basanti (2006), wrote the Hindi adaptation for the original. In an interview with Bollywood Hungama, Kulkarni said, "I wrote the script ten years ago, but Aamir took a couple of years because he did not believe that I must have written a good script. So he did not want to hurt me. After a few years, he heard the script and within 30 seconds he said I am going to do the film."[7] Kulkarni also said that it took over seven years to get the remake rights from the makers of the original (Paramount), as the movie is solely based on the original. Once the studio confirmed with Radhika Chaudhari that the rights were available, Khan made a trip to Los Angeles in February 2018 and met with the studio heads along with Radhika Chaudhari and the process of acquisition started. [citation needed]

India

[edit]

Laal Singh Chaddha received mixed reviews from critics and audience.[102][103] Devesh Sharma of Filmfare rated the film 4 out of 5 stars and wrote "Atul and Advait have invested more in the story than history. As a result, this has a better emotional core than the original".[104] Sonil Dedhia of News 18 rated the film 4 out of 5 stars and wrote "Aamir Khan's Laal Singh Chaddha is a movie that deftly grapples with the pessimism of the world, but handled in a mature way".[105] Renuka Vyavahare of The Times Of India rated the film 3.5 out of 5 stars and wrote "Laal Singh Chaddha holds onto the good old values that make it worthy of a family outing. You will particularly remember a crackling Shah Rukh Khan cameo".[106] Stutee Ghosh of The Quint rated the film 3.5 out of 5 stars and wrote "Laal Singh Chaddha is made up of many memorable, heartwarming moments. It says a lot that will leave us smiling or moist eyed".[107] Sukanya Verma of Rediff rated the film 3.5 out of 5 stars and wrote "Laal Singh Chaddha does not let its source down.

Nandini Ramnath of Scroll.in rated the film 3 out of 5 stars and wrote "Except for a few crucial changes, the film is faithful to the beats of its source material".[112][113] Rohit Bhatnagar of The Free Press Journal rated the film 3 out of 5 stars and wrote "The film is a bit too lengthy but Shah Rukh Khan's cameo will make it up for you".[114] Sushri Sahu of Mashable rated he film 3 out of 5 stars and wrote "Laal Singh Chaddha deserves a watch for its special cameo alone".[115] Mugdha Kapoor of DNA India rated the film 3 out of 5 stars and wrote "Laal Singh Chaddha has made a valiant effort to deliver a message of forgiveness, optimism and compassion".[116] Saibal Chatterjee of NDTV rated the film 3 out of 5 stars and wrote "A de-aged Aamir Khan throws all that he has into the role and comes up with a simpleton who is wondrously loveable".[117] Anna M. M. Vetticad of Firstpost rated the film 2.5 out of 5 stars and wrote "Laal Singh Chaddha must stand on its own sans comparisons since it is being viewed in 2022 by a whole generation of viewers to whom Forrest Gump is not a cultural reference that evokes nostalgia".[118] Shubhra Gupta of The Indian Express rated the film 2 out of 5 stars and wrote "It's not just the pace of the film which is the trouble. It is also, centrally and crucially, Sardar Laal Singh Chaddha himself, as played by Aamir Khan".[119] A critic for Bollywood Hungama rated the film 2 out of 5 stars and wrote "Despite fine performances and lovely moments the excessive length and slow pacing goes against Laal Singh Chaddha."[120]

International

[edit]

Laal Singh Chaddha received mixed reviews from international critics and audience.[121][122] Proma Khosla of Indie Wire rated the film 3.5 out of 5 stars and wrote "Kulkarni and Chandan deserve a whole box of gol gappe".[123] Mike McCahill of The Guardian rated the film 3 out of 5 stars and wrote "Director Advait Chandan is too literal in his adaptation of the 90s classic but finds a warmth and political honesty the original lacks".[124] Witney Seibold of Slash Film rated the film 7 out of 10 stars and wrote "Despite how corny it is, Laal Singh Chaddha it unexpectedly disarming".[125] Carlos Aguilar of The Wrap stated "The setting and language have changed, but the story still thinks it's being uplifting about the neuroatypical even as it punches down".[126] Siddhant Adlakha of Joy Sauce stated "Laal Singh Chaddha is an effective adaptation that not only localizes the specifics of Forrest Gump, but translates its relationship with its setting, swapping the self-professed peace and prosperity of '90s America for the more volatile and nationalistic climate of modern India, where the country's image of itself remains in constant flux".[127] Nicolas Rapold of The New York Times commented that "The film's charms are limited by what comes to feel like a coddling conceit.".[128]

Controversy

[edit]
See also: Hindutva boycott of Bollywood films

Hindu nationalists campaigned to boycott the film with Twitter hashtags, prior to the release of the film. Articles abound on the net whereby it is said that Aamir Khan continuously uses his films to insult Hindu gods and show Hindus in general in a negative light against other minority communities of India.[131] The boycott was a reaction to Khan's remarks in 2015 about "growing intolerance" in India, his 2014 movie PK that offended Hindu nationalists, his 2017 and 2020 meeting with Turkey's president Recep Tayyip Erdoğan and his first lady wife Emine Erdoğan, who had criticized the deaths of Muslims in the Delhi riots.[132] Another controversial point shown in the film was that the lead character Lal Singh helps a Pakistani terrorist (instead of an army man of his own country which was in the original plot of Forrest Gump) which hurt the patriotic sentiments of some viewers leading to even more negative publicity which added to the boycott movement.[133] Furthermore, the negative reviews given by the netizens on social media platforms caused the footfalls to decrease significantly.[134]

Khan said that he was "heartbroken" after seeing this trend, and requested people to watch his film.[135] An analysis by the Hindustan Times felt the film bombed at the box office not because of Aamir Khan's performance; but due to the changes of the original plot of the film which did not sit well with the audience.[136]
