Bem no Coração

90's masala popcorn films are back thanks to movies like Wanted , Dabangg , Rowdy Rathore. Unfortunate part is that movies are getting repeated and outdone and the essence of the flavor is dying. Kill Dil tries hard to entertain you but falls flat on the face.

Kill Dill tells the story of two orphans raised by a godfather who turns out to be hit-men. Things go wrong after one of them falls in love with a girl and leaves the gang to lead a peaceful and normal life away from guns and violence.

From the director of Bunty aur Babli and Jhoom Barabar Jhoom, not much was expected from Shaad Ali. The lousy direction , insensible screenplay and terrible story gives you a headache which you never asked especially from stars like Parineeti Chopra, Renveer Singh and Govinda. There is no plot here and frequent insertion of songs just spoils the entire mood of the film. Music is a complete letdown. Art direction and cinematography is decent. Ranveer Singh and Parineeti Chopra disappoints big time. For the first time in their career , he does not do justice to his role. The veteran Govinda is wasted.

Overall, Kill Dil is loud, lousy and unconvincing. Not recommended. 1/5

#KillDil : The star casts of this film is saying that this is a musical blockbuster. But, I am saying that it is a musical, not a blockbuster. Plus Point: Kkkk Kill Kill Dddd Dil Dil, Actually the entire music album, Ranveer Singh's madness, Funny dialogues of first half, Song's picturization, Some one liners & the best part of Kill/Dil is Govinda. Ali Zafar has been wasted. & For Parineeti, what can I say? She is loosing her fans with Daawat-E-Ishq & now Kill/Dil. Ranveer is capable to engage you and also capable to entertain you. Govinda as Bhaiyaaji is outstanding. He is back. On his one liners, public was shouting and cheering. The movie may be a hammer without him. Lyrics by Gulzar & Music by Shankar-Ehesan-Loy are the things which made the director-producers to make a film called Kill Dil. Seriously, there is no story line. Whatever it is, is lyrical. Every 10-15 minutes, one song came in front of you. Every song is watchable on the big screen. But, you are not want only songs, they have to show story in which they can put songs. But, here, the story is in somewhere, the empty spaces between any two songs. I found 2 mistakes of director. One is in the first scene, the guards of Netaji went where after the shootout. Second one is, in one scene, the mike's shadow is clearly visible on Ranveer's head. So it's called minus points. Overall, this movie offers you new Govinda and some new one liners or you can say good comedy. Other than these, nothing new can be seen by anyone. Yeah, it is called a one time watch.

Sometimes, when you feel pressure to do something new and try to make something unusual, there would be chances of wrong landing. It happened here. Somehow, it is overcooked. Story is very simple and routine, so making it new, makers stuffed it with unjustified incidents and old twists and turns. Screenplay does not offer anything new. Like, for showing hero good nature to girl he feeds poor kids in Dhaba, is so many times told. Hats off to dialogues. They are just brilliant and make any normal scene interesting. Chemistry between both male lead is impressive but it lacks in most of the love scenes. I was happy in first half but when it came to interval, I was sensing that second half may have been least interesting and alias it happened. Climax came abruptly and without any justification. There is not a single police investigation of all the murders but suddenly they shown in a single scene!!? Why!? I had already accepted that there is no law and order at all but this small scene broke all my assumptions. Performance wise Ali Zafer is impressive. His looks and expressions match very well. Ranveer Singh is good but not in emotional scenes at all. You will smile while watching him cry. Govinda is balanced. Parineeti Chopda is fine. Music by Shankar-Ehsan-Loy is good. The track " Sajde kiya re" is melodious.

With such a star cast, you can't blame anyone for going to watch this film with a lot of expectation. Even then you look at Shaad Ali's portfolio of work with Saathiya (hit), Bunty aur Babli (hit) and Jhoom Barabar Jhoom (super flop) and you wander whether there is a trend somewhere? Nevertheless, Kill Dil has you hooked at certain points, but lets you go in too many.

The first half of the film is excellent - fast paced and at the intermission you kind of have a feeling of what is to come and you're pretty excited but the second hand drags and is the real let down. Also the numerous amount of songs put the film down majorly. It is like every 10 minutes they need to sing and dance - why?! Yes I understand the film is also a comedy and has romance, but some of the songs were neither appropriate or decent! Whilst Bollywood continues to do this, it will also be far far away from Hollywood. The comedy is though, at times brilliant! Ranveer is rib-tickling funny with his silly dialogues and mannerisms.

Down to performances, and naturally as expected Ranveer Singh steals the show. The guy is fantastic and post Gunday, delivers yet another reputable role to his portfolio. Ali Zafar oozes class. He not only looks brilliant on screen with his long hair and beard, but brings that calm manner to the screen so well, while Ranveer is the energetic one. Their friendship on screen is shown very well and does remind of you of Jai Veeru in some ways. Parineeti Chopra looks a million dollars and plays her part with ease, however I think she needs to consider different types of roles that challenge her. Govinda is brilliant and it's good to see him back, albeit as a villain. I appreciate he was playing a Gangster, but there was no explanation into why he wanted to kill so many people?!

The music of the film is okay, but not amazing. The title track, Sajde and Baawre are my favourites. The rest of the songs are average and picturised even worse.

Overall Kill Dil is worth the watch for sure, and certainly go watch it for the performances, especially Ranveer's.

I'm surprised by the many average reviews this film is getting, in part because: 1. although not strictly a comedy, it's funnier than many other Bollywood films this year 2. has at least three killer music tracks 3. all four leads more than deliver in their respective roles 4. it features the return of Govinda (and it's a great part) 5. Ali Zafar has finally proved (as he did in Tere Bin Laden before being typecast) that there's more to him that formulaic rom-coms 6. it doesn't rely on endless and pointless stunts to form the narrative as many recent blockbusters have

Sure it's not perfect, the story has a familiarity to it (but what film doesn't these days?) and there are a couple of cringe-worthy moments; but I'd rather watch Kill Dil over again than many of the other half-baked 'blockbuster' efforts clocking up the rupee signs over the last 12 months.

Do yourself a favour, ignore the reviews and go check it out for yourself- you might be pleasantly surprised.
