Undeniably, majestic movie experiences are created by filmmakers and in Thugs of Hindostan, Vijay Krishna Acharya makes a fatal mistake - he takes his audience for granted.

Thugs of Hindostan trailer
U/A: Action, Adventure
Director: Vijay Krishna Acharya
Cast: Amitabh Bachchan, Aamir Khan, Katrina Kaif, Fatima Sana Shaikh, Llyod Owen
Rating: 
May be Aamir Khan's Firangi Malla is, after all, modelled on Jack Sparrow. But the film is far from being inspired by The Pirates of Carribean. Though, after sitting through 2 hours and 45 minutes of Thugs of Hindostan, I wish it were. The swashbuckler Diwali venture is nothing short of colossal heartbreak for cinephiles. The maiden screen union of two of the country's biggest stars - Amitabh Bachchan and Aamir Khan deserved a better film. But TOH is as bad as its trailer; a film so devoid of spunk that you'll be baffled why those who spend 300 crores and 3 years on creating visual spectacles, don't invest half as much in writing better screenplays.
