Kick - Well almost there

Woh movie bhi kya dekhna jisme Kick na ho pagli.

Just as we were recovering from the torture from Sajid Khan, another Sajid joins the bandwagon.

Salman a.k.a Robinhood Pandey is back as Devi Lal Singh a.k.a Devil in Kick . He enjoys getting his Kick with the thrill of flirting with danger, romance his psychiatrist girlfriend Shaina (Jacqueline Fernandez), taunt the topcop Himanshu (Randeep Hooda) and rob the baddie Firoz (Nawazuddin Siddique).


Everyone needs Kick in some form. When the teasers delivered high adrenaline rush than the movie, the only Kick Sajid Nadiadwala would ever get from his much hyped Kickass entertainer is the Kick on his ass.

Debutant director Sajid Nadiadwala and banker turned writer Chetan Bhagat fail in their departments of direction and screenplay with a half baked copy from the Original Telugu hit ‘Kick’ starring Ravi Teja and Ileana D’cruz .

Saurabh Shukla, Sanjai Mishra, Nawazuddin Siddique, Randeep Hooda and Mithun Chakraborty waste their talent for want of Kick.

As a tribute to John Mclane, Sajid Nadiadwala has choreographed action sequences from various Die Hard installments with the bus chase to jumping from the building with a hose pipe to killing a chopper with drums because the hero ran out of bullets. Job well done with 13 cars, 1 bus, 3 buildings and 1 chopper blown. But was that enough for us to get the kick. Nah! 

Adrenaline rush – low but Testosterone hits an all time high each time Jacqueline Fernandez and Nargis Fakhri scorch the screen with their grooves in Jumme Ki Raat and Yaar na Miley songs. After watching them, you will definitely end up saying, well I got my money's worth.





What I missed the most in the Hindi version were Salman going topless and the comedy sequences of Brahmanandam and Ali from the original telugu hit.

If you are looking for mental masturbation in the movie, sorry folks, this is not the movie for you. Kick offers the harebrained entertainment tailor made for hardcore Salman’s fans. If you are expecting anything more than this, skip the movie or watch the Telugu version for the real Kick.
