Just watched this and pretty much agree with DM.
I'm always surprised by how muscular the Indian males have gotten in Bollywood. The two main male competitors in this film are muscle-bound, or borderline so. When I saw a photo of the lead holding a sword, I couldn't wait to see him wield it. As I suspected, very stiffly. There's something to be said for being a skinny runt, you know. Is steroid use prevalent in Bollywood? Or is it all done with yoga?
Anyway, this is a big-budget extravaganza, as DM says. Lots of battles, heavy on strategy and tactics, with odd weapons. Corny in many ways, but very engaging.
Now I'm ready to watch Part 2 -- once I catch my breath.
