Straight on, Kick is Bollywood biryani, a masala movie spiced with the
superstardom of Salman Khan, garnished by charming Jacqueline, smouldered over
the wry talent of Randeep Hooda. Kick is not for lovers of fine filmi foie
gras, but for those who want a hearty Eid banquet to enjoy. AND just like many
other salman movies, its another all based and staged on his personal charm and
traits..
Shy Shaina (Jacqueline) meets eccentric Devi Lal (Salman) who will do
anything - including beat up eve-teasing "micro-terrorists ki gang" -
for a kick. The couple's love blossoms in a blaze of golden confetti but
withers as Devi is unwilling to hold down boring jobs despite Shaina - who is a
"magaz ki doctor" or psychiatrist - pleading.
As Devi walks away, even hot Inspector Himanshu (Randeep), who visits
Shaina and her diplomat dad (Saurabh Shukla) in Poland, is unable to charm the
broken-hearted girl. What happens when an amnesia-struck Devi shows up? And
when he mysteriously appears in the super-robbery case Himanshu's determined to
crack?
Kick is vintage Salman Khan, the star flipping from fun-loving Devi to
dead-serious Devil with goofy, yet deadly grace...As Shiv Gajra, criminal head
of a charitable trust, Nawazuddin tries too hard to be bad. His Faster
Fenay-like 'tock' and hammy laugh get on your nerves but his role's sharp and
small, restricted to "Pollen-d" and a bank sequence with, well, a
shocking end.
But shocks aside, Kick has laughs too. A jail sequence involving Devi's
pitaji (Mithun) is LOL-hilarious while there's unintended comedy too, including
animation featuring Salman with a body suspiciously like Hrithik's and a Polish
chase sequence involving a London Kings Cross bus. At times, the plot resembles
the bus itself, wobbling madly until the next killer line.
whatever rating is given. one sure thing is that salman lovers wont miss it
anyways...so enjoy the kick..
