Despite middling to exasperated reviews, Rohit Shetty’s Dilwale has opened to good business (surprise!) For all those who declare their allegiance to the movie’s alleged brilliance, there are many who cannot fathom how the action comedy, starring Shah Rukh Khan, Kajol, Varun Dhawan and Kriti Sanon, was made in the first place. The much-vaunted screen reunion between Khan and Kajol has also fallen flat in some quarters. Should Khan take the advice of Shuddh Desi Gaane, the makers of this hilarious spoof video on the song Gerua, and acknowledge that ‘Some love stories should just end?” Wait till the end of the song to see how it all turns out (and marvel at a certain star star’s coolness factor.)
