Khiladiyon Ka Khiladi

Khiladiyon Ka Khiladi is highly entertaining action movie of 90s. It is one of best action movies from Bollywood.It is no doubt why this movie was among biggest hits of 1990s.

Direction - Umesh Mehra directed this movie extremely well and is among his best works to date.

Story - Story is nothing novel but still it is very entertaining.

Music - Music is good. Hum hai seedhe-saadhe akshay is best of lot.The Song between akshay and rekha is good too but i don't know why many hated the hot scenes. It was needed according to storyline.

Performances - Akshay Kumar rocks as Khiladi. His stunt scenes are highlight of the movie. The ones with Undertaker are classic and will be remembered for long time to come. Rekha is show stealer with her negative performance. She looks ravishing and gorgeous and inspite of the fact that she is quite elder than akshay in age both still make great pair. Raveena Tandon was okay. Due to Rekha's total dominance in movie she was almost sidelined. Rest (Gulshan Grover, Inder Kumar etc) gave good support.

The Highlight of this movie is its mind blowing stunt scenes which were so novel and thats why i rate this movie so highly.

A Great action movie which will be remembered for long time to come.

1996 Best action film 90s era Akshay stunt originally do No doubt this film best action film ⭐⭐⭐⭐

In the 90's mad films dominated, Akshay Kumar did several stupid and some entertaining films

This can be put in the entertaining list but it's lot stupid too

There are some crude scenes, especially the Akshay-Raveena portion in the plane and also several more lots of fight scenes and of course Akshay vs Undertaker which is a highlight

The main story is good and well handled but the film gets too much many times especially the finale fight where Akshay is shown like a tiger

Direction is decent Music is okay

Akshay Kumar looks ugly with that long fringe and fat body those days and overacts in comedy(like he did those days) and does okay in serious scenes Raveena is her usual self Rekha is the highlight, she excels in a negative role Gulshan Grover is okay Inder Kumar is okay in his first film

The film isn't anything original in terms of the story, the film's pacing is hurt mostly by drawn out melodramatic scenes eg when his mother calls him home to tell him about his brother's wedding and the plane scenes. And there is a lot of overacting mostly from Akshay Kumar and other supporting casts. They tend to exaggerate their facial expressions and shout, even though the particular scene requires them not to, which makes the film irritating.

The one thing that I'd to discuss it's the geography the film's set and how the characters behave in it. It's America and people mostly speak English but when Maya or Don are addressing the crowd, they use Hindi which I find to be kinda awkward since they literally don't what they're saying but still cheers to it. And there are also Hindi-speaking police officers in the station which the film features a lot for obvious reason but it's very implausible for that to be the case realistically.

The soundtrack is nice, there are two catchy songs I think, the rest are meh. The sound effects in this type of old Bollywood films never ceases to make me laugh, whenever someone's getting punched, it sounds like they beating a snare drum "buch, gbuch" and same goes with the sound effects of the guns, they're all sound the same no matter the gun type, moreover when someone gets shot, the gunshot wound and blood is practically non-existent.

The cinematography is not bad for its time; the camera-work is good, and able to follow the fight sequences steadily.

Action scenes are well staged but after sometime it gets repetitive especially the one with the Undertaker, at first it's fun but then turns to caricature-like. Moreover, I find the action stunts towards to be far-fetched; like Akshay turning to a tiger? he can literally lift the Undertaker? His wounds come and go only where it's needed? and the special effects are very low-grade.

The highlight of the film is the performances, with the strongest coming from Rekha, she's portrayed her character with such aura of menace that's makes it so memorable, and unique from the rest. Her character is beautiful, and strong and feisty. Akshay Kumar brings energy and enthusiasm to his performance too, and his stunt work is impressive. The rest are so-so in the roles.

Overall, KKK is not a bad film per se, it certainly has many flaws for sure but it offers a tremendous amount of entertainment and good performances.

After watching 'Khiladi', the first in the khiladi series, I had incredibly high hopes. Needless to say that I wasn't disappointed. The performances by Rekha and Akshay Kumar are great.I was particularly impressed by Rekha who plays underworld don Maya incredibly well. Gulshan Grover is good as is Raveena Tandon; you couldn't expect much more from them. Brian Lee is good as the wrestler called undertaker.The action is great. The story is, of course, very good.The screenplay is great as is the cinematography. The music, on the other hand, could've been better.

Verdict: watch it if you liked 'Khilad' (1992). I give it 9/10
