The film’s massive success proves that Bhai is almost ‘critic proof’ at the box office. Critics came down hard on the film being illogical and hilarious trolls were soon to follow. But who cares about the critics when Salman’s Eid releases are known to hit new records everytime? It’s no new for the Bajrangi Bhaijaan star to deliver a hit amid the poor critical reviews. The superstar, it seems, cares little about critics and ensures that he’s declared the winner everytime!

Starring an ensemble cast of Salman, Jacqueline, Anil Kapoor, Bobby Deol, Freddy Daruwala, Saqib Saleem, and Daisy Shah, the film hit the theatres on June 15.
