Why is Bajrangi Bhaijaan unlike every other Salman Khan movie?

Bajrangi Bhaijaan, the much-awaited movie of superstar Salman Khan has released today, continuing the age-old tradition of Salman Khan’s movies being released on or around the holy day of Eid al-Fitr.

The movie has created a lot of buzz in the market, ever since Salman’s ‘good friend’ Shah Rukh released the first look. There were some behind the scene videos released on YouTube, which showed us all a completely different side of Salman Khan.

Both the teaser and trailer of the movie were instant hits, and went viral within minutes of release. However, all that was expected and normal, because of the immense popularity that Salman Khan enjoys amongst all sections, be it youngsters, kids or the experienced lot of the society.

While the expected happened, the unexpected has happened too! Bajrangi Bhaijaan is a movie unlike any of Salman’s other blockbuster releases-the movie has no bare-bodied scenes of Salman Khan, no heavy duty dialogues, and no street fights that shed a lot of blood on senseless issues.

Bajrangi Bhaijaan is made to deliver the message of peace amongst India and Pakistan, and is possibly the first Indian movie that doesn’t show Pakistan in a negative light, because of which Pakistani audience would get to see the best of Salman Khan on their screens.

Salman Khan took to the micro blogging site Twitter to thank the chairman of Pakistan’s censor board, Fakhr-e-Alam, for clearing the release of the movie. Alam has previewed and certified the movie for Pakistan and posted about the same on Twitter, saying that “it is not a negative or anti Pakistan film.”

Looks like Salman Khan has finally woken up and smelled the coffee that Bollywood is changing and focusing more on making sensible movies that depict a message, unlike the many years that nonsense action comedies have ruled the box office.
