Rishi, 62, took to Twitter and hailed the Kabir Khan- directed cross-border drama as Salman's best film.
"BB. Bestestest Best! @BeingSalmanKhan you moistened my eyes in the end. Your best! @kabirkhankk your film is the best seen in a long time!"
"Bajrangi Bhaijaan" which also stars Kareena Kapoor Khan and Nawazuddin Siddiqui, shows Salman as a Hanuman devotee, who undertakes the task of getting a young, mute Pakistani girl back to her motherland and uniting her with her family.
Rishi lauded Nawazuddin's performance and complimented child actor Harshaali Malhotra, who plays the speech-impaired girl in the the film.
