Salman Khan is one such star who has been entertaining the Bollywood film industry for 25 years. Many naysayers believe his films are illogical but do Salman’s fan even care about? KICK was one of the best Bollywood action movie made in the recent time with well-executed action scenes, snippy-snazzy stunts and of course it gives you one and the only SALMAN KHAN’s charisma.It is enthralling and gives you an entertainment potion right from the beginning till the end.
As Shania and Himanshu meet each other to discuss about their prospective marriage in a train narrating their past story, little they know that they are talking of one person who is common between them had changed their respective lives - Devil Lal Singh or the Devil who loves to get an adrenalin rush with a KICK in his life.
Celebrity producer Sajid Nadiawala gets into the director’s chair for the first and chooses a Telgu remake of same name that came in 2009. The trailer was definitely a big thumbs up along with chart busting music. For the first time, I went to see the movie being as general audience rather than a Salman’s fan and to my surprise I loved the film right from the beginning till the end. The movie begins on big note with a grand entry of Salman( always something to look forward) with whistle and noise cheering from the audience and next follows is few comic scenes along with romantic track. For the first 45 mins, the movie has nothing much going in its favor but gains steam aftermath once Salman gets into the character of Devil. The cat-mouse game between Hooda and Salman, the action sequences well shot in Glasglow, Scotland and climax between Salman and Nawazzuddin are some of highlights of the film. On the flip side, the editing is loose with shallow script which hinders the movement of the film. The film could easily be trimmed making it more impacting. Background score is decent. Cinematography is fabulous. Art direction is enchanting. Action sequences have been well-choreographed. Music by Himehs and Meet Brothers( who gave musical score in Ragini MMS 2) is foot-tapping. Salman Khan steals the thunder with a convincing performance. After Tere Naam, I liked his emotional outburst scenes when he is about to save the cancer patient. He will be applauded for entertainment which is expected out of him. Randeep Hooda will surely get recognized after this film. He is outstanding as the diligent cop. Need we say anything about Nawazuddin Siddique. He is one of finest actor we have in Hindi Cinema and am sure, he will be more popular after his shrewd and cunning yet enjoyable character. Jacqueline Fernandez is looking gorgeous but need to work on acting skills.
Overall, KICK delivers what it promises - Entertainment. This has style as well as substance. Salman’s super stardom and well-defined content will make it sustainable at the ticket window and has good legs to prolong its splendid run. Good 3 /5
