Laal Singh Chaddha (Aamir Khan) has trouble walking because of his medical conditions. He uses sticks to help him walk, but his mother (Mona Singh) never treats him like a person with a disability. She always supports him and inspires him to set high goals for himself. The first time she tries to enroll Chaddha in school, they reject her. Later she gets successful in getting Chaddha enrolled in school though. Chaddha meets his friend Rupa (Kareena Kapoor) in the school. As the narrative develops, Chaddha participates in school athletics and, miraculously, overcomes his infirmity. He then achieves greatness in athletics. Later on in his career, he joins the army, where he meets Balaraju, a man from down south, and their friendship deepens. What impact does Balaraju’s friendship have on his life? What transpired to Chaddha after he left the military? What will become of his friendship with Rupa? What else will Chaddha accomplish in the end? The answers are only revealed in theaters.

Performances

In Lal Singh Chadda, Aamir Khan shows off his acting prowess once more. Despite the fact that it was a remake, Aamir brought his character to life and displayed heartfelt acting. Aamir Khan put a lot of effort into appearing in several characters for this movie, it can be mentioned. Kareena Kapoor performed a fantastic job playing Rupa. The chemistry between Aamir and Kareena will cause you to think back on all of your most precious memories. Balaraju, played by Telugu actor Naga Chaitanya, is excellent. Even though his screen time is only 30 minutes, we will remember him till the very end of the film. Other actors, including Mona Singh, who played Aamir’s mother, did their parts well.

Technical Aspects

The director Advait Chandan altered “Forest Gump” script by adding Indian nativity themes. Without detracting from the original, he cleverly built it to be appealing to the audience. Superb dialogue has been crafted by writer Atul Kulkarni. Pritam, on the other hand, rocked with his tunes. The visuals appear to be well-done.
