What happens

Dilwale (transl. Big-hearted) is anthological 2015 Indian Hindi-language romantic action comedy film directed by Rohit Shetty, who co-produced the film with Gauri Khan under Red Chillies Entertainment. The film stars Shah Rukh Khan, Kajol, Varun Dhawan, and Kriti Sanon, alongside Boman Irani, Varun Sharma, Johnny Lever, Pankaj Tripathi, Mukesh Tiwari, Kabir Bedi, and Vinod Khanna, in his final film appearance before his death of 27 April 2017. Dilwale was released theatrically on 18 December 2015, coinciding with the Christmas weekend, and received mixed reviews from critics who praised the chemistry between Khan and Kajol, but criticised the screenplay and runtime. Nonetheless, the film emerged as a commercial success, grossing ₹376.85 crore (US$58.74 million) worldwide to rank as the third highest-grossing Hindi films of 2015 and thirteenth highest-grossing Indian film overseas. At the 61st Filmfare Awards, Dilwale received 5 nominations, including Best Actor (Khan) and Best Actress (Kajol). (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
