Khel

I bunked my classes to watch a hit kannada movie which was houseful and Khel was the one to which i got a ticket instead . Celina's first release though it was her second movie (Jaahnasheen-first one). Sunny pa ji and sunil anna look good in the movie. But Jadeja was like an irritating decoy. The effects were horrible. The ULTRA slow-motion of the bullet traveling didn't match with the slow-motion of people dodging bullets. And the first half was so boring i could barely keep my eyes open. And over that they used the name of the millionaire 'Mallya' in a peculiar way calling as 'Maaalyaa'. Celina and Jadeja's voices were almost similar. Celina was good looking but was very bad at acting. And finally the movie got over with a little interesting climax. But the damage had been done. First impression is the last impression.

Take this as an example- In all the Rajkumar Hirani's movies, he captures the audience from scene 1. Remember kidnapping in 'munnabhai' and 'Lage Raho' and the Flight emergency landing in '3 Idiots'.

Overall the script was almost dead. climax can be judged. Ramayan arrow effects were better than the bullet effects in this movie. Jadeja was like a goat (Bakra) in the movie. So If you don't get sleep, watch this movie's first half. Its a 2 hour long introduction of 3 characters. And I am sure you would have slept by the time sunny pa ji comes on screen.

This movie had potential. It has a story about two friends falling in love with the same girl. This story had been attempted many times before Khel. But those movies (Ram Avatar, Dilwale Kabhi na haare to name some) had an emotional angle where one friend sacrifices his life for another. But Khel has opposite story to tell. It was a kind of refreshing concept. But the direction is very poor. Instead of revealing the actual Game at the start itself, it could have been kept a secret. The final revelation would have worked wonders for this movie. But that doesn't happen. Everything is revealed to audience from the beginning itself and it makes you yawn with heavy, boring and lengthy dialogues. Probably the makers wanted to show us a cat n mouse game "Khel"( that is also spoilt with a weak screenplay). According to me, they should have gone for a whodunit kind of thriller.

Jadeja's acting is boring. Dialogue delivery is lazy. Celina Jaitley is fake. Sunny Deol's entry adds some interest in the movie. He does the savior part nicely. But the movie belongs to Suniel shetty. His acting is superb.

If you want to watch this movie, watch it for Suniel shetty's acting only. Otherwise there is nothing to enjoy in this movie.

I think this movie is not so good on the effects side and this movie isn't ANY good at the start, but.....but when the action starts or in other words, the ACP (Sunny Deol) starts searching the, you know, the... real killer of the bar-girl, the movie is better than so many Hollywood and bollywood movies. Well, I don't want to disregard anyone's opinions, but I think, personally, that this movie is awesome when the action or the search for the actual killer. I would actually give this movie a (9.5/10). I think Suniel Shetty also did a very good acting. I'd give his acting a 4/5. And I'd give Sunny ummm.... 4.98/5. I'm just expressing my own opinion, not stopping you guys from expressing yours.

If you do watch this film, please do it for Sunny Deol. The first half of this movie is so boring, and you wonder if Sunny will ever show up. At intermission, he finally comes and takes the movie to a new level. The 2nd half is way better and more thrilling as Sunny plays the suave cop brilliantly (reminds you of the drunk and clever lawyer in Damini in'93). The action scenes are alright, although the special effects should have been toned down some; a little extra effort would have made it perfect. Overall, this is not a bad movie, especially since this becomes like a cat-and-mouse game, Sunny's dialogues and scenes with Gulshan Grover are totally witty. Surprisingly, Sunny does NOT even roar in this movie! Enjoy this one for Sunny!!

Whoever did the special effects for this movie definitely got carried away and overconfident. Trying to look like a Matrix shot of a slow-motion bullet, a very fake computer-generated bullet draws across the screen. Then in a fight sequence a long x-ray vision of a man with bones breaking (also very fake) follows after he receives a punch. That was just too much, and it just cracked me up. Oh, and half the movie is slow motion. A guy spends twice as much time entering the room as he does talking in it. The people behind this movie are acting like their story is a huge breakthrough in cinema. Okay, it is a good story but not that great. If the treatment of the movie was a bit more subdued, it would be a whole lot better. Sunil Shetty's new hairstyle is pretty cool. Ajay Jadeja has a really weird voice. He doesn't have star material, however he suits his role. It was nice to see Sunil give a good, unique performance again after Qayamat. Sunny was just Sunny. Celina was nice.
