"Dil me aata Hun, samajh me nahi" – This tag line literally has summarized most Salman-starers in recent past; where logic takes a backseat and entertainment is the key-word. Post the not-so-good BO performance of 'Jai ho', Dabangg Khan is back to his Robin Hood territory of a man of Grey actions but a heart of gold. Ace producer Sajid Nadiadwala has for the first time, stepped in director's shoes and does a decent job riding on Khan's repute and some class performances. A brief about what kicks this 'Kick' –
Plot: What do you get when you mix 'Ready' comedy, 'Dhoom-2' plot and 'Jai ho' emotions? A 'Kick'! Yes, this one is a clear-cut deja- vu cocktail with ingredients in that sequence. First half is slow and bores with its mindless gags and mad situations. However, the movie picks pace a little before intermission and continues to accelerate in the second half when romance takes a backseat and action-drama takes over. Though the climax isn't great, it doesn't disappoint either. In all, it does manage to give the audience a kick (adrenaline rush) with paisa-vasool entertainment.
Cast: A Salman film is supposed to be a one-man show. Not his one, as it gives enough footage to Randeep Hooda and Nawazuddin Siddiqui. Salman is as usual his entertaining self, looking more handsome and fit than he did in his earlier flicks (with or without French-beard). What differentiates this one from Dhoom series is clearly Hooda, who doesn't appear a loser and gives equal takkar to Khan with his killer mannerisms. However, what gives this movie the real kick is Nawaz! This man clearly overshadows Khan with his brief yet emphatic role. His devilish yet funny reactions steal the show from the on-screen 'DeviL'. It seems villains are the flavor of this season. After awesome performance by Riteish Deshmukh in 'Ek villain', Nawaz's villaingiri will be fondly remembered. Jacqueline adds to the glam quotient (esp. in Jumme Ki rat song) and emulates Kat to some extent. Interestingly, she is nowhere to be seen in the last 15 minutes of the movie. Rest of the actors – Mithun DA, Archana Puran Singh, Saurabh Shukla, Sanjai Mishra and Sumona just come and go. Nargis Fakri fails to mesmerize in her item number.
Music: They say – "Too many chefs spoil the dish". Same happened here as a mock tail of Himesh, Yo Yo and Meet bros couldn't do any magic and ended up creating average music. Jumme Ki rat sounds more like Chintata and Yaar Na mile is unexceptional. However, Salman shows signs of improvement as singer – Hangover is melodious to some extent. Ahmed Khan's choreography is ordinary.
For those searching for some meaning and logic or any other serious stuff, this one is not for you. However, Kick doesn't fail to entertain and with no major release coming in the next 2 weeks, this one will surely mint gold at box-office. Watch it for Nawaz, Hooda and of course Salman.
Bhai Ki Eidi ban-ti hai!
