Movie Reviews: Bharat
Times Of India
Separated from his father and sister during the Indo-Pak partition in 1947 as a child, Bharat decides to dedicate his entire life to keeping the promise he’d made to his missing father. He takes it upon himself as the eldest son of the house to look after his mother and siblings, hoping their family would reunite some day.
Bharat is Katrina’s best-acting part till date. Her chemistry with Salman feels natural and she does a good job at portraying a woman who is self-assured without being cocky.
Interestingly, there’s a hidden Sooraj Barjatya in Salman Khan, somewhere. In times of the ‘hookup culture’ being glorified in movies and web shows, his films with old school values often aim to get the families together and that stands out.

Salman (Bharat) a victim of Partition who works hard to improve his lot, falls in love but sacrifices its prize – marriage – for a promise made to his father, and always does what is best for his clan, community and the nation.
Bharat has everything going for it – a blueprint provided by the Korean source film Ode to My Father (2014), a vast cast of supporting actors, and the conflation of one man’s experiences with an entire country’s history.
There is unmistakable tenderness as Bharat and Kumud grow old together and look fondly into the distance while exchanging mock jibes and declarations of love.
The movie has its patriotic moments – including a full-throated rendition of the national anthem – but its greatest duty is towards its bulky hero.
