Kick [2014]

Earlier this week I along with some of my Chaddi buddies went for 'Humpty Sharma ki Dulhaniya'. The act of starring in my phone while replying someone and realize how little I text them distracted their attention. So, this time FILMY KHOPDI planned to join his brother to grab a KICK!

A lot of selfies were captured. Some were weird. Okay, all were weird! My brother still thinks that I can't photograph and handing me his camera is just wasting his SD card storage. Bro, your jokes are still 'UnJhellebal'. He seriously bombed my head badly!

We entered the Multiplex and some soothing music hit my ears which brought me back to normal. Someone who isn't a Sallu fan and who tolerantly liked Dabangg 2 and disappointing Jai Ho, I had just one thought roaming in my head that how much upbeat Kick be? Fortunately, Kick is just BANG BANG!

**********

The movie starts with Shaina (Jacqueline Fernandez) getting dressed and sets out to find her love. It reminded me of a contraceptive control ad at the very beginning. Her father chooses Inspector Himanshu Tyagi (Randeep Hooda) to marry Shaina and fixes a date in a train. There Shaina introduces Devi Lal Singh (Salman), in her talk, as his Ex boyfriend and tells him about his selfish and moronic pranks to have a Kick. The film is stretched of two and a half hour which makes it a bit tiring but you won't get your butts off until the end. Later Himanshu introduces Devil (Salman again) who is a pain in ass for the former, tells her about his robberies and unsuccessful chases. The backstory for Salman playing Devil is what pleased me.

Luckily, Randeep Hooda and Nawazuddin Siddique have bagged some awesome roles to play and they truly were outstanding. The action scenes aren't bragged just for the sake of doing it.

Nawazuddin Siddique absolutely destroys the villain competition this year. Nawazuddin acts out as Joker from Dark Knight and must say he is among the best villains I have seen in Bollywood till date. Nawazuddin arrives too late in the film but immediately absorbs you in with his awesome award-snagging opening dialogue delivery.

Nawaz: “Goro ne China ka maal chipka diya, paanch minute nahi tik paye."

This dialogue was just hilarious!

About the music, its good and pleasing. Jasmine Sandlas's 'Yaar Na Miley' is playful. Nargis Fakhri still needs dance tuitions. Jhumme ki Raat is a chartbuster. Jacqueline is jaw-droppingly superb on her dance steps.

A well-bred, full of thrills, cheerful yet suprisingly emotional movie which makes you feel care for Salman.

Watch it to know why.

Movie Review : Race 2 [ 2013 ]

" Doesn't WIN the Race "

Email from Ramesh Taurani

To Abbas - Mustan,

Ingredients for a Sequel :

Race 2 rolls with the same series of songs, meant the genre of songs, created by Pritam in 2008 viz; Pehli Nazar Mein as Be Intehaan, Party On my Mind as Khwab Dekhen and Allah Duhai Hai being the sole track for the Movie. Action scenes ( as in the prequel, acclaimed by the audience ), some Bedroom scenes which are reproduced again. Alan Amin with his insane jumps. Importing Atif Aslam. Mix everything together and half bake it. Serve the 2008 blockbuster - sequel chilled.

__________________________________________

You wanna get entertained ? Uh-oh again, don’t chalk up with the census and demography as we have been doing for some recent past action movies. Abbas - Mustan Burmawalla - the thriller duo, known for Baazigar, Aitraaz and their past suspense thriller drama - Race. The prequel of Race 2  had a decent plot  in which one could apply one's brains, where this movie gives a lay back to its franchise. Ramesh Taurani wouldn't go for a sequel then again. Indulging your mind to apply in the plot can be as having food with NO Salt and here the film will make you feel exhausted. Though they have a large canvas to display their flick - sequel but still they aren't bolstered with a good writing though. Stops being Original and overuse the scenes created earlier and displays them as any of the average Bollywood Movie. Its case is similar to Dabangg 2, the swearing remark of the second half hits hard as you just seduction & nothing else.

The story begins from where it was left in 08, Ranveer ( Saif Ali Khan ) and Sonia ( Bipasha Basu ) are living their life perfectly. But to their dismay, Sonia is killed under some mysterious traps and conditions and Ranveer now becomes furious and starts hunting for the killer. Inspector Robert D'Costa ( Anil Kapoor ) assists him to get some clues, as now he is the manager of classy club where he permits Ranveer to stay in. Sameera Reddy being replaced by Amisha Patel is jaw - droppingly hot, and as usual Anil tries to make love with his P.A ( Fruits not to be missed ! ). Ho - Hum Ranveer arrives Turkey and faces the heavy Armaan Malik after Robert D'Costa follows his sturdy investigation. Armaan accompanied by his love interest Elena ( Deepika Padukone ) tries to betray Saif, as Katrina did in the prequel. Ranveer touts his most famous dialogue " Race hamesha meri thi aur meri hi rahegi... Kyunki main is Race ka sabse puranaa Khiladi hoon. " Ranveer goes with his topless fight with Armaan, some necking scenes in the latter part awfully leading to terrible dismay of the audience.

Hell Yeah, Race 2 has a good cast, lots of smokin' cars and a palette that may please your eyes to the fullest. All in all, the latter part of the film, including the climax, pulls down the movie drastically. One thing you can do is, wait for the telecast of the Super - Hit Race at your T.V's. Er.. Feast for Saif Ali Khan Fans, while a one - time watch for the rest of the public.
