Forrest Gump had its critics even when it released in 1994, with some calling it a celebration of the dumbing of America.
Leaving that aside, the movie worked because of Tom Hanks, Gary Sinise, Sally Fields, and Robert Zemeckis.

Forrest Gump worked because of raw innocence and simplicity that Tom Hanks brought to the role, and because of Tom Hanks himself.
Aamir Khan is no Tom Hanks, neither as an actor nor as a person, and his unctuous pretentiousness did #LalSinghChaddha's prospects no good.

Forrest Gump worked because of Robert Zemeckis - of Back to the Future, Who Framed Roger Rabbit, and Romancing the Stone.
Advait Chandan, seriously?

Forrest Gump worked ∡ of its portrayal & subtext, without being judgmental, of the Vietnam War, still fresh in American memory.
#LalSinghChaddha spares no opportunity to parade its cussedness.
#LalSinghChaddha is to Forrest Gump what Ram Gopal Varma Ki Aag was to Sholay.
