Aamir Khan and Hrithik Roshan have extended support to the international action film '7 Dogs', which releases in Indian theatres on August 21. Aamir called producers Turki Alalshikh, Salman Khan and Sanjay Dutt his 'brothers' in a social media post. The film, directed by Adil El Arbi and Bilall Fallah of 'Bad Boys' fame, features a global cast including Egyptian stars Ahmed Ezz and Karim Abdel Aziz, along with Monica Bellucci and Giancarlo Esposito.
The directors told PTI that working with Salman Khan was like 'going to film school'. Adil El Arbi compared Salman's charisma to that of Will Smith. Bilall Fallah noted Salman added spontaneous one-liners during shooting. The film holds a Guinness World Record for the largest film stunt explosion, equivalent to 170.7 tonnes of TNT, and was made on a budget of nearly $40 million, as per GQ Middle East. The story follows an Interpol officer and a criminal who team up against a syndicate trafficking a drug called Pink Lady.
Indian Opinion Analysis
Coverage across all four outlets is uniformly positive and promotional, lacking any critical framing. Times of India led with celebrity endorsements from Aamir and Hrithik, emphasising Bollywood star power. Hindustan Times, Siasat, and Bollywood Hungama focused on director interviews praising Salman Khan, comparing him to Will Smith and calling the collaboration a 'film school' experience. None of the sources reported any critical reviews, production challenges, or box-office concerns. The coverage reads as extended publicity material. A careful reader should note the absence of independent critical perspective: the articles report director praise verbatim without question or counterpoint. The film's actual reception will only become clear after its August 21 release.
