Kill Dil

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.

From the first look of its promo, Kill Dill brought an implicit association with the Quentin Tarantino brand of pulp fiction - heroes in cool leather jackets and dark sunglasses, slow-mo gunshots against a pale-yellow textured template, sly humor, whistle score akin to cowboys genre and an undercurrent of gleeful violence that runs through the narrative.And with an interesting line-up of actors , it appeared as if director Shaadi Ali was in a serious attempt to resurrect his image after the disastrous Jhoom Barabar Jhoom.Despite a promising start and a premise ripe with potential,Kill Dill fizzes out like a con cracker.

Set in the hinterland, somewhere in the Delhi-NCR suburbs, it tells the story of two friends, Dev(Ranveer Singh) and Tutu(Ali Zafar) who are raised by the grizzly don, Bhaiyaji(Govinda)when he finds these two orphans lying in a garbage dump , to become contract shooters.Without much of insights, we are given glimpses of the camaraderie between these two boys and their fetish for bullets and beer.Shaad establishes the fact they have a tough exterior but soft at heart.All is well till Dev falls in love with the vivacious Disha(Parineeti Chopra) who rehabilitates criminals for a career but is oblivious of Dev's tinted past.Conscience hits Dev and he decides to abandon the world of crime, which doesn't go well with Bhaiyaji.

Should I go ahead with the plot? Well,its a pure cliché, which is churned into a cauldron of romance, ample naach-gaana,daru-shaaru and action.A lot of energy is infused by the flamboyant Ranveer who proves his mettle at comedy yet again with terrific one-liners.He is ably armed with the perky and piquant Parineeti who is effortless as far as the acting chops go , but crippled with outrageous styling and ill-sketched characterization.A series of SMS exchanges between the duo provides genuine 'LOL' moments.Equally noteworthy is the job interview sequence which lands Ranveer up in desperation to crack.Ali Zafar provides the balancing act here with his self-restrain while Govinda makes a praise-worthy comeback in a negative role.In fact, with the catchy soundtracks ( Shankar-Ehsaan- Loy)and the veteran's signature steps, it does manage to keep you in the groove.

In spite of all these positives, Kill Dill is muddled with a hackneyed script and over-simplistic treatment which doesn't give any depth to the characters and you know you are tricked only when it ends abruptly , after running a little more than two hours.If you want to know my verdict, I would label it as another Yashraj flick with an infamous 'style over substance' tag.

Rating :2.5/5

On a lazy sunday afternoon switched on Amazon prime and decided to watch Ranveer Singh's KILL/DILL. Honestly the movie is good. I was put off by the ratings but this movie was really good. It had laughs, good bonding between Ali and ranveer. Good chemistry between ranveer and parineeti. Songs were terrible. The ending was very good, not the usual Bollywood ones which one would expect. Worth one-time watch.

#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.

It has crime that doesn't make any sense. The actors are not sure what they are doing. The lead actress is completely clueless although being beauty with brain. It is a nonsensical crime drama which doesn't have any story at all and the climax is horrible. No entertainment whatsoever in the entire movie. It is one of the worst movies I watched in theatres.
