Rohit Shetty is big boss! So just LOL! Or even better just seek solace in SRK's outstretched arms.
Spoiler alert! Please do not read the following plot summary if you have not seen the film.
The story revolves around the children of two competing families who meet after a 15-year separation. Raj (SRK) is a charming car modifier. Veer (Varun) is his younger brother who ends up falling for Ishita. When Raj meets Meera (Kajol), whom he loved and got separated from, his past comes back to disrupt his present.
So Raj or Shah Rukh has two identities in the movie. He is Raj when he is peaceful and Kali when he is aggressive. Kali happens to be the adopted son of Randhir(Vinod Khanna) who has settled in Bulgaria. Kali does all the dangerous work for his father. His father's arch rival is Malik(Kabir Bedi). He has a daughter called Meera. Kali and Meera fall in love without realising they are from opposite camps. And the truth gets revealed to them when they are on a dangerous mission. Randhir and Malik kill one another in a gun battle and after that Meera and Kali separate. Meera thinks Kali has killed her father so she starts hating Kali. Kali moves from Bulgaria to Goa and become peace loving Raj. He dotes on his younger brother Veer(Varun). Veer falls in love with Ishita who he gives a lift to. Ishita and Veer sing songs and have a good time with their friend Varun Sharma and gang. Varun Sharma also moonlights as a small-time thief who robs expensive car accessories and sells them to a guy called Oscar(Sanjay Mishra).
Johny Lever is also a small time thief. All their paths cross with that of King(Bombay Irani) who is a don and who sells drugs. When King's men take on Veer, his brother Raj becomes Kali and takes revenge on his behalf. Raj wants Veer to marry Ishita. However when he goes to Ishita's house he discovers that she is the younger sister of his past love Meera. Meera opposes the match. However after some past misunderstanding is cleared up, Meera and Raj go back to being lovers. Veer and Ishita also unite and everything falls into place.
TRIVIA
1. At the onset, there was abundant speculation on this Rohit Shetty entertainer being inspired from Amitabh Bachchan-Rajinikanth starrer Hum and Ashok-Kishore-Anoop Kumar starrer Chalti Ka Naam Gaadi. Now it turns out it has shades of Kasme Vaade.
2. The song Gerua, picturised on SRK and Kajol, is said to be one of the most expensive numbers in Bollywood. It was picturised by Farah Khan in Iceland.
3. Considering that Rohit’s films are incomplete without his trademark action, there are thrills aplenty in this one too. Moreover, action teams from Bulgaria and South Africa also collaborated when team was shooting in those countries.
4. As a tribute to the stuntmen in his films, Rohit made a special video that was released online.
5. Incidentally, Kajol’s husband Ajay Devgn was doing a recce in Bulgaria for his next, Shivaay, when Dilwale team arrived there for their schedule. Ajay and SRK even met for dinner once, the exclusive picture was broken in media by Bombay Times.
6. The car modifier aspect of SRK’s character is inspired by the man who has also designed the superstar’s vanity van.
7. Kajol and Varun have shot briefly when she did a cameo in his debut, Student Of The Year.
8. The film also sees Vinod Khanna and Kabir Bedi act together after 12 years since Kranti. Previously, they have worked together in Kuchhe Dhaage and Kshatriya, which again were separated by 20 years.
9. The film, that also has Boman Irani and Varun Sharma playing pivotal roles, also features regulars in Rohit’s entertainers, like Johnny Lever, Mukesh Tiwari and Sanjay Mishra.
10. Dilwale marks SRK’s second clash with Sanjay Leela Bhansali, as the filmmaker’s Bajirao Mastani also releases simultaneously. The previous time their respective films opened in cinemas together was eight years ago, when the actor-producer’s Om Shanti Om surpassed the director’s Saawariya at the box office in 2007.
