Zero (2018)
Zero is a 2018 Indian Hindi-language comedy-drama film directed by Aanand L. Rai. The film stars Shah Rukh Khan as Bauua Singh, a vertically challenged man with a larger-than-life personality. The movie explores themes of love, self-discovery, and the pursuit of dreams, set against a backdrop of romance and humor.
Plot Summary
The story revolves around Bauua Singh, who is charming and witty but also somewhat arrogant. He navigates his life in a small town, where he finds himself caught between two very different women: Babita Kumari (played by Katrina Kaif), a glamorous movie star, and Aafia Yusufzai Bhinder (played by Anushka Sharma), a scientist with cerebral palsy. As Bauua embarks on a journey to win the hearts of both women, he also seeks to discover his own purpose in life.
The film takes a fantastical turn as it includes a subplot involving a mission to Mars, which adds a unique twist to the narrative but has received mixed reviews regarding its execution. Critics noted that while the film has exciting ideas, some aspects, particularly in the second half, felt unconvincing and detracted from the overall experience.
