‘Bharat’ First Day First Show: Mumbai Reacts

Salman Khan’s most-awaited film Bharat hit theatres today and has got quite an overwhelming response. Directed by Ali Abbas Zafar, the period drama is an official adaptation of Korean film Ode to My Father. The movie follows Salman Khan’s journey from early 20s, when he was young, till early 70s, when he's old and grey. In doing that, Bharat takes us through the journey of independent India, through the experiences of a common man.

The film also stars Disha Patani, Sunil Grover, Tabu, Jackie Shroff, Nora Fatehi and Aasif Sheikh in supporting roles, who will partake in the journey of Bharat at different points in the film's timeline.

Here’s what some netizens had to say about the film:

Watched #Bharat last night.. an emotional ride.. well written and directed by #AliAbbasZafar.. #SunilGrover was superb.. but it is a @BeingSalmanKhan film.. his best performance to date.

It’s interval and till here #Bharat is the worst film of Salman khan during last 10 years. #Race3 and #Tubelight are #Sholay n #MughalEAzam compare to this crap. No story, no emotion, no entertainment till here. It’s a total torture, waste of time and money.🤪😂
