They live and "work" together doing small time con jobs. They have never heard the proverb of earning an honest living. They get a break when trying to save a dying gangster Bose (Prem Chopra) shares a secret to these four chaps about his life's savings Rs 10 crores - which are hidden in a graveyard in Goa.

The finest part of this film is that it not pro or anti any religion. It squarely points fingers at people who spread terror in the name of religion.

Dilwale – Movie review

Dilwale is a one-fourth of DDLJ in its name and the entertainment content. A predictable story line, the film relies much on SRK’s shoulders. To make the matters worse, the film’s promos reminisce the viewer of the hit pair of DDLJ and this comparison makes it worse, as the lead couple lacks the freshness and charm of Raj and Simran of Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge. Raj (Shahrukh Khan) gets up from a nightmare from his past. He is a docile do-gooder who resides with his younger brother Veer (Varun Dhawan) on whom he dotes on and would go any distance to keep his wishes as he had promised their father Randhir (Vinod Khanna - a haggard) that he will take good care of him. Raj and Veer are settled in Goa, while the elder bro is easygoing, introvert and philanthropic, his brother is outgoing with a roving eye for all ‘things beautiful’. One day Veer, while on a car delivery bumps i ....
