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.

Ek Villain [2014]

IMAGINE "You enter your house and find your loved one harshly slaughtered?" How terrifying it will be!

"Ek Villain" is a remake of the Korean classic "I saw the Devil", the difference being that the original gives more attention to the brutality and not on the Pyaar-Mohabbatein drama.

Director Mohit Suri (Murder 2, Aashiqui 2, Awarapan) undoubtedly good at making crime cinema, but it'd more enjoyable to see him away from his comfort zone. Suri, along with his writers, portrays Sidharth Malhotra (Guru) as a Gunda, and adds a different shade to the character as that of in the Korean classic. Also the lovestory of Aisha (Shraddha Kapoor) and Guru runs the film longer. The reason behind portraying the love story was that the audience should realize Sidharth's a.k.a Guru's fall and pains.

Kamaal R Khan plays the role as a friend of the psychotic character Rakesh (Riteish Deshmukh) who feels so happy when Rakesh ruins KRK's slave wife. *Whenever KRK showed up, I had a bad feeling of slaughtering the casting crew! Man, I had to grumble so as to avoid my brain fag.* KRK, who works a Midnight Bar, jokes terrible Non-Veg pranks at times. The '2 rupees people' and 'Mu bandh karna padega (showing some vulgar moves) were his magnificent dialogues I have ever seen at the Hindi cinema! Kidding.

A scene comes when Guru goes to kill his Boss Caesar where the protagonist reminded me of my childhood videogames. Sidharth is too bad when it comes to Action. Furthermore, he leaves all his Gundagiri for his love, cures her illness (I don't remember the name of that disease yet?) and later marries her. Searches for a job and later when Aisha gets killed, he spends his time for revenge.

Somewhere in between, Shraddha Kapoor dances awkwardly when the old people get married. Also she jokes horrible 7th grade jokes which will bombard your head. "EK JOKE BOLU?" Oh, what a jerk!

Riteish Deshmukh (Rakesh) is outstanding. He openly admits himself as a character full of beastliness. I still wonder why people were applauding when he said,"Sorry Madam, main aapko shikaayat ka koi mauka aane nahi dunga." The film turned out to be a comedy for a short time. Madman! He kills ladies to release his stress and later keeps on talking with these dead corpses. *Creepy Guy*

The songs are placed where they need to be. *I still keep wondering "What does Galliyan mean?"*

Overall, a good thriller. The climax would not meet your expectations. Go watch only if you can digest intense violence. Definitely not everyone's cup of tea.
