Kick

Kick is a movie which is just for entertainment with some really emotional, tricky or hilarious scenes. Out n out its just for Salman Khan fans with some audience looking for easy fun.

Well...to start with I would say if you are a hardcore Salman Khan fan then you must have seen this movie first day first show and enjoyed a lot. Like any other previous Salman's flick this movie also delivers laugh less comedy and two & half hours story less script.Basically the movie begins after interval and before that it is only a monkey show. But the two plus point of the movie is first its music and second awesome negative performance by Nawazuddin Siddiqi. Surely this movie gonna be in 100 crore club but as far as I am concerned it is another disappointment from Salman Khan.God knows when we will be able to see a strong scripted movie from him.

Am I Salman Khan fan? If you ask me this question today I would say I am neutral. What I definitely cherish is the charity work he does, that is the reason why one appreciates this movie.

While watching for the first time I got what you call kick in this movie throughout when movie ran on big screen. After watching on my computer it was not the same experience. Despite that it is a decent movie and you cannot take that away from it. What I would like to highlight is even if the experience was not liked the first time my emotions still flew. I mean my eyes were wet when the girl who was ill emerged.

It is not like most of the Salman Khan movies, thus being underrated cause me discomfort. As a fan and as a human being one should appreciate his work as charity. A movie inspired from that is something that I appreciate.

Salman looked great throughout the movie. A tip I would like to give him. It is he looked better with a 'non'clean-shaved look.

Tone, Script & Story: See IMDb Storyline.

Direction, Screenplay, Cinematography: Justified and were Eye candy. Music: Good. Acting: Justified.

Final Verdict: It is a decent movie. If you love Salman's work, you will love it even more. All I wanted was to feel kick like the first time I watched it but that's OK.

Over the past few years, we all know what to expect from a Salman Khan film. A wafer thin plot, a bad guy, some good music, a beautiful but dumb heroine, a little of romance, drama and comedy and above all - a larger than life Salman Khan.

Salman rarely plays a character in his film. Some exceptions were Dabbang and Ek Tha Tiger. Otherwise Salman plays himself in most of his films. We all know his acting abilities and hence as an audience we are prepared for his movies well in advance.

Kick is a typical Salman affair. It has all the ingredients as mentioned above. The story of man who changes jobs because he doesn't get a 'kick' from them could have been interesting but the writers and makers are more interested in Salman.

The plot has many holes and as usual the logic factor is missing. A lot of questions were moving in my mind. But when Salman is on screen, you tend to forget them for that moment because the man demands your attention and kept me entertained.

Another person who seems to be having a time of his life is Nawazuddin Siddiqui. Currently, one of India's finest actors, he delivers one excellent performance as the villain. He beautifully hams it and plays the comic book villain to the perfection. There are just two scenes between Nawaz and Salman and Nawaz makes Salman look like a statue with his performance. Brilliant.

Mithun and Hooda are completely wasted as Salman's father and the cop hunting Salman. I know why an excellent actor like Hooda would have signed this film and thats the irony for terrific actors like Nawaz and Hooda in Bollywood.

Jacqueline plays the beautiful but dumb psychiatrist to perfection. The music is good and some of the banter between Salman and Hooda is good fun.

Kick is a timepass film. It is better than Bodyguard and Ready but nowhere close to Ek Tha Tiger and Dabbang 1.

When the trailer of Kick came out, I actually thought this is going to be a superhero movie about a vigilante who saves people on a bicycle, because of how it was shown. I thought his superpowers will be enhanced senses. And of course that's what Kick is about, except it's not good. Kick is one of those Salman Khan films which basically remind you what Salman Khan films are all about. Plus this is directed by Kabir Khan, who is like the directors with whom Salman Khan makes all his films. When I watched it as a teenager I really liked it. But now...meh.

Kick is about a guy named Devi Lal something something, who was born on 29 February because of which he became an adrenaline junkie. He was born laughing instead of crying, rode a cycle on the 10th floor sitting on it backwards, he has every degree on the planet, he doesn't do a job because he doesn't get a "kick", he pees upside down etc. So basically you get what kind of a person he is. He falls for a psychologist whom he calls Madam Psycho (apparently Salman Khan fans are supposed to find it funny). She insults him so he leaves her to become Devil, a vigilante who steals money to save kids who have cancer.

The problem with this film is that it wants to be cool, but it doesn't have the means to be. Devi's childhood is shown in a cartoon with an animation that can even make Motu Patlu feel ashamed. When he is fighting the security guards, their bones are shown to get broken in Mortal Kombat's style, except the animation is too smooth to look natural. Devi makes a hologram at home which is supposed to trick Randeep Hooda into thinking it is actually him, but when he stands in the hologram's way it passes through him giving out light and sound, instead of the projector way that holograms are supposed to give.

Kick is a fantasy for a chhapri, no doubt about that. It's something they'd love to watch. I only saw it thinking it's going to be something unique. But it has Salman Khan in it so what was I even thinking? If you are some Salman Khan loving chhapri who has never watched a single movie with good VFX, you might actually like this. But if you have seen literally anything else, you won't like it.
