Kick

Well...to start with I would say if you are a hardcore Salman Khan fan then you must have seen this movie first day first show and enjoyed a lot. Like any other previous Salman's flick this movie also delivers laugh less comedy and two & half hours story less script.Basically the movie begins after interval and before that it is only a monkey show. But the two plus point of the movie is first its music and second awesome negative performance by Nawazuddin Siddiqi. Surely this movie gonna be in 100 crore club but as far as I am concerned it is another disappointment from Salman Khan.God knows when we will be able to see a strong scripted movie from him.

Over the past few years, we all know what to expect from a Salman Khan film. A wafer thin plot, a bad guy, some good music, a beautiful but dumb heroine, a little of romance, drama and comedy and above all - a larger than life Salman Khan.

Salman rarely plays a character in his film. Some exceptions were Dabbang and Ek Tha Tiger. Otherwise Salman plays himself in most of his films. We all know his acting abilities and hence as an audience we are prepared for his movies well in advance.

Kick is a typical Salman affair. It has all the ingredients as mentioned above. The story of man who changes jobs because he doesn't get a 'kick' from them could have been interesting but the writers and makers are more interested in Salman.

The plot has many holes and as usual the logic factor is missing. A lot of questions were moving in my mind. But when Salman is on screen, you tend to forget them for that moment because the man demands your attention and kept me entertained.

Another person who seems to be having a time of his life is Nawazuddin Siddiqui. Currently, one of India's finest actors, he delivers one excellent performance as the villain. He beautifully hams it and plays the comic book villain to the perfection. There are just two scenes between Nawaz and Salman and Nawaz makes Salman look like a statue with his performance. Brilliant.

Mithun and Hooda are completely wasted as Salman's father and the cop hunting Salman. I know why an excellent actor like Hooda would have signed this film and thats the irony for terrific actors like Nawaz and Hooda in Bollywood.

Jacqueline plays the beautiful but dumb psychiatrist to perfection. The music is good and some of the banter between Salman and Hooda is good fun.

Kick is a timepass film. It is better than Bodyguard and Ready but nowhere close to Ek Tha Tiger and Dabbang 1.

Very honestly, this movie is nothing extraordinary and one really wonders how it became such a colossal grosser.

It is however watchable and holds the interest entirely thanks to Salman Khan who has mastered the art of making slapstick hits.

Salman is a natural entertainer, no doubt about that. He is the first person to acknowledge that he is not making art cinema, so bearing that in mind Kick is entertaining enough in its genre. Salman has the unique knack of making even the crass entertaining. It is his expressions and the nonchalant way he goes about it that lets him get away with it.

I loved Ready the most of his recent movies, followed by Partner and Dabangg. Kick is more on par with Jai Ho, but as I said before, Kick is certainly watchable and especially so for Salman Khan fans. I have to admit that I have a soft corner for Salman:)

I saw this for the first time in a theater. I remember it was Eid day n my pal had booked the tickets.

Revisited it recently with my family.

The movie has lots of entertaining factors.

The camaraderie between Mithun n Salman (who plays father n son) is amazeballs.

Nawaz tried his best to be a humor cracking vile villain n he succeeded in it.

The movie has a decent social message n moves at a solid pace without getting boring except for the lousy Bollywood songs.

Salman shud definitely lose weight n join some method acting classes.

The superhero in this movie can do everything from jumping from a bridge, drive a double decker, ride a bicycle, overrun cops inspite of being overweight n wear a ridiculous costume but it is much better than the lousy n copycat Krisshh.

All in all a good family entertainer.

Waiting for it's sequel.

Am I Salman Khan fan? If you ask me this question today I would say I am neutral. What I definitely cherish is the charity work he does, that is the reason why one appreciates this movie.

While watching for the first time I got what you call kick in this movie throughout when movie ran on big screen. After watching on my computer it was not the same experience. Despite that it is a decent movie and you cannot take that away from it. What I would like to highlight is even if the experience was not liked the first time my emotions still flew. I mean my eyes were wet when the girl who was ill emerged.

It is not like most of the Salman Khan movies, thus being underrated cause me discomfort. As a fan and as a human being one should appreciate his work as charity. A movie inspired from that is something that I appreciate.

Salman looked great throughout the movie. A tip I would like to give him. It is he looked better with a 'non'clean-shaved look.

Tone, Script & Story: See IMDb Storyline.

Direction, Screenplay, Cinematography: Justified and were Eye candy. Music: Good. Acting: Justified.

Final Verdict: It is a decent movie. If you love Salman's work, you will love it even more. All I wanted was to feel kick like the first time I watched it but that's OK.
