It has been a week since Salman’s Bajrangi Bhaijaan has released, and the Salmania is running wild all around. The film is not a typical potboiler and is actually different from a regular Salman Khan film. Not only fans, but even critics are appreciating BB.

While this Kabir Khan directorial is zooming past every box-office record, we list down for you, eight reasons as to why Bajrangi Bhaijaan is different.

1. It is not a remake.

Yes, after a long time, Salman has featured in a film that isn’t a remake of any South Indian film or inspired-from-the-west film. And that is one of the many reasons it sets itself apart.

2. No larger than life action scenes, flying cars, or extensive maar-dhaar.

The film has been backed by mostly by content so even without larger than life action sequences, the film kept gravity-defying action in check. On the contrary there is only one fight sequence, that too with adequate combat.

3. It shows the side of Salman we really missed. *Sacchi*

Remember Salman from Rajshri films or Baghban? After seeing BB, you’d be reminiscent of that Khan. Simple and endearing! His Being Human side is all over the screen and his maneuvers are cute.

4. Easy emotional connect in terms of story.

The film has an instant emotional connect and an heart-touching story. Unlike other commercial masalas dependent on dialoguebaazi or added commercial elements, this film actually is backed up with a good story.

5. BB shows Pakistan in a different light.

There have been many films that Bollywood has churned out which have shown Pakistan in a negative light, but with this Kabir Khan film, the perception has changed. The film highlights harmonious relations between the two neighboring nations and gives us hope of a new kind.

6. Salman happily let cute Harshaali be the protagonist.

Yes! We feel Harshaali is the protagonist of the film. Without her there would be no BB. Without uttering a word, this cute wonder has walked away with applauses. And when she does speak, she just makes you go ‘aww’. Throughout the film, her adorable antics will make you fall in love with her instantly. She speaks through her eyes and gestures, and her act, masks everyone else’s performance.

7. He candidly shared the limelight with Nawazuddin Siddiqui and his earnest acting

No words can sum up Nawazuddin’s Chand Nawab. He is just too earnest. The second half belongs to Nawaz. He holds the film together and his quirky one-liners will crack you up. Had it not been for this mega-talented man, there would be no Bhaijaan to our Bajrangi.

8. It shows a never-seen-before Kashmir

30 percent of the film is shot in Kashmir and it shows the paradise like no other film. Locations are a hit amidst the tourists now, thanks to BB, as the film has showcased the breath-taking scenic beauty on the silver screen in a grand manner.

This EID delight for his fans was one of the best? Agreed?
