KICK
Okay, let's get one factor straight: Salman Khan's movies square measure critic-proof. The naysayers or those baying for his blood might frown upon the slipups and blemishes in his movies, signifies open plot holes, accuse him of choosing remakes instead of original ideas, slam him for victimization his super-stardom for masala entertainers… however you can't overlook the actual fact that once Salman saunters on screen, he sets it ablaze along with his charm and magnetism.
The star-performer carries the load of the complete film well on his broad shoulders. Everything he will on screen is emulated by his fans pronto: styling, hair style, killer dialogue, dance steps et al. named as 'Bhai' by those near him, he's currently the 'Bhai' or the enduring on-screen characters he has delineated over the years - Prem, Radhe, Chulbul Pandey, beautiful Singh, Tiger - for millions of fans across the world.
Salman, the star machine, is that the multicolour Piper of Hindi cinema. He *doesn't* promise path-breaking or art house cinema. the main target is on those 3 supernatural words: recreation, recreation and entertainment. and that is what matters to a good majority of movie-going audience.
Sure, the attractive star's newest outing KICK could be a remake of the super-successful Telugu film KICK [2009; directed by Surender Reddy and leading Ravi Teja, Ileana D'Cruz and Shaam]. however there is a world of a distinction between KICK, directed by Sajid Nadiadwala, and Salman's previous couple of entertainers. This one's additional conventionalized, has wealthiness and gloss reeking in each frame and is incredibly international in terms of execution.
However, the prime question remains the same: Is KICK Blockbuster material? affirmative, of course! The premise of KICK, first! On a train journey in capital of Poland, a fairly shrink, Shaina [Jacqueline Fernandez], meets Himanshu [Randeep Hooda], a lawman from Bharat, for AN organized match. They share their pasts with one another.
Shaina shares the story of her ex-boyfriend Devi Lal Singh [Salman Khan], a man WHO lived just for 'Kick'. She talks concerning his madness and their windstorm romance, till in the future he breaks up along with her for a brand new kick and walks away, ne'er to come back. Himanshu tells her concerning his wonderful escapades and that he has finally met his match - AN intelligent felon. What they do not grasp is that their stories have one factor in common - Devil. He returns back to their lives below a brand new semblance of getting lost his memory. Behind it all could be a deeper mystery and an uncompromising mission…KICK marks Sajid Nadiadwala's rendezvous with direction and tho' the debutant director might have looked southward to decide on the story, once it involves death penalty the written language, the inspiration is clearly the West: the epic Hollywood fares. Having created over a dozen movies until date, Sajid has voluminous expertise and experience and is aware of exactly the way to use the familiar tropes to his advantage.
Sajid conjures up a world that mixes visual brilliance with many knockout episodes. Like Salman, Sajid too contains a one-point agenda: recreation. No wonder, Sajid and his team of writers ensure that they have to supply additional to the sharp viewer than what has been witnessed to this point, since the promos have raised the bar and increased their expectations. That explains why the cat and mouse game [played between Randeep and Salman] does not follow the tried and tested rules, while the conflict between the benefactor and therefore the antagonist [Salman and Nawazuddin Siddiqui] steers clear of the traditional configuration. As a matter of reality, the frantic twists and turns within the storyline square measure proof that Sajid and his writing team square measure keen to supply the audience that additional dose of recreation which might build KICK a kickass mortal.
KICK has the magnificence [in terms of production values] that was lacking in Salman's previous movies. this can be a giant price tag show and Sajid, WHO has created epic extravaganzas within the past, makes certain each frame seems lambent, tasteful and attention-grabbing. Be it the spectacular locales of capital of Poland or the fashionable sets, the DoP [Ayananka Bose] acts as AN aide and encapsulates the plush, up market look ably. The spectator additionally gets a world feel throughout the high-octane stunts, action and chases, that garnish the goings-on magnificently. The train stunt is already the utter city. Also, the chase in capital of Poland, with Salman driving a bus, causes you to gasp in disbelief.
I'd wish to build a special mention of Rajat Aroraa's dialogue. The writer provides the film many clapworthy lines, that square measure absolute to become legendary. the simplest line is, of course, 'Mere baare mein itna mat sochna, dil mein aata hoon, samajh mein nahin', that comes at an important purpose within the story. The lines delivered by Nawazuddin square measure super too and therefore the sequence with Salman towards the climax are greeted with whistles and claps. Take a bow, Rajat!
Any hiccups? The first half could've been tighter.. a couple of sequences are stretched from time to time [Salman and Mithun within the bar]. The songs due higher things. The romantic track, within the second hour specifically, could've been additional persuasive. The sound recording remains faithful the genre of the film and therefore the quality of 'Jumme Ki Raat' and 'Yaar na Miley', that seems double within the film, enhances the impact.
To state that Salman is that the soul of KICK would not be AN exaggeration. he is committed, charming and competent, such a lot so it's tough to require your eyes off him. Post DABANGG, those that felt that the actor's movies lacked a cohesive script to match his superstardom, square measure absolute to feel satiated with KICK, since the film has it all and will utmost justice to Salman's aura. In fact, the film provides him the platform to exhibit his vary as AN actor/star and his real-life role of a decent Samaritan/humanitarian any. Rest assured, the fans and therefore the fanatics - even those that are not - are certain a treat!
Randeep Hooda is supremely economical, delivering a performance that stays with you. And this can be a huge compliment, since the film could be a Salman show from commencement to conclusion. Nawazuddin Siddiqui could be a powerhouse of talent and KICK provides him the chance to cross over to the commercial league. Nawazuddin is just outstanding, essaying his dispense with relish [don't miss his typical laugh, it'll undoubtedly catch on massive time]. In fact, it will not be inaccurate to state that along with Salman, Nawazuddin can walk off with plaudits once KICK.
Jacqueline Fernandez will okay, though her diction has to be worked upon. She appearance nice and her dance in 'Jumme Ki Raat' is certain to stun you. Mithun Chakraborty is in prime kind once more. The sequence with Salman towards the closing moments stick with you.
The supporting forged - Saurabh Shukla [good], Sanjay Mishra [awesome], Vipin Sharma [super], Archana Puransingh [alright], Kavin Dave [first-rate], Sumona Chakravarti [perfect] - every of them contribute well to the proceedings.
On the entire, KICK could be a subunit vasool, seeti-maar mortal. prepare for a tidal wave referred to as KICK at the window. it's absolute to rewrite box-office records. Salman fans, rejoice. KICK could be a sure-shot B-L-O-C-K-B-U-S-T-E-R. To quote a dialogue from the film: 'Woh apni Eidi lene zaroor aayega'.
Krrish 3
It’s Diwali and the biggest film of the year – Rakesh Roshan’s Krrish 3 is all set to hit screens in less than a week. Expectations are sky high, because the father-son duo of Hrithik and Rakesh Roshan have never failed. More than 7 years later, the duo return with their most desired film to date.
Here is a brief synopsis of this movie. After beating the wicked Dr. Siddhant Arya, and bringing his father Rohit back from the dead, Krrish continued battling against the bad and saving innocent lives. Krishna is living a happily married life with Priya, while Rohit is using his scientific cleverness to benefit society. Krrish is everyone’s favorite superhero.
Unknown to them, a evil force is growing in another part of the world. Kaal, an evil genius, is greedily misusing his powers to spread fear, death and destruction. And he is being aided by an army of very hazardous beings, which he has created himself. Not long after Kaal’s plans are put into action, both Rohit and Krrish find themselves faced with a crisis of epic proportions, which only they can resolve, together. but when they finally cross paths with Kaal and his army, neither of them is ready for what lies ahead. Kaal not only brings the world to the edge of disaster, he also puts the strength and love of Krishna and his family to the test. Krrish has to somehow find the power within to face an unbeatable foe. The greatest battle between darkness and light begins….
In Krrish 3 Hrithik Roshan takes on evil mutants and saves the world from destruction in his superhero avatar. Here's a lowdown on the new-age villains.
Chameleon Kaya ( Kangana Ranaut) is also known as Chameleon. And, just like the reptile that can change colours, Kaya has the power to transform into any shape she wishes to.
Rhinoman — a blend of a human and a rhinoceros — uses the deadly sharp horn on his head to kill his prey. His body is as heavy as that of a rhino and he uses his size to his advantage when fighting with the enemy.
Antman, who is half-human and half-ant, possesses the power to crush any object with his bare hands. His glowing red eyes signify the animal within. They say ants can carry weights 100 times more than their body weight and Antman bears testimony to this.
The Frogman uses his tongue to kill the enemy. He is a derivative of a human and a frog and his tongue is his sharpest weapon. He is mischievous and that is indicated by his envious green eyes.
Scorpion Woman Part-human, part-scorpion, she has claws as hands and a poisonous sting at the end of her long plait, with which she strikes. She shows her targets no mercy and can kill them in one stroke.
Krrish 3 made on a budget of 90 crore, with print and marketing likely to add up to 25 crore, taking the total cost of the film to around 115 crore. The satellite rights were pre-sold for Rs 40 crore, music rights fetched around 10 crore and Rakesh Roshan also sold theatrical rights to individual distributors before the film went on floors. For Krrish 3 to be a decent success and ensure that the distributors don’t end up in the red, the film has to collect around 120 crore at the domestic box office. Even in the worst case scenario, Krrish 3 should cross the 100 crore mark.It is great that our bollywood cinema has come to a stage where, in one percent of the budget of a Hollywood film, so much can be incorporated. If 'Krrish 3' is a success, it will be great for the sake of our artists. The scope will be so much for them that we will not just be able to match (international levels) but also go beyond it.
It’s going to be an exhilarating time for the industry and for all the box office fanatics here. In-depth reports, box office comparisons, records.. we will cover it all here.
For now, tell us what you think. Will Krrish 3 take the box office by storm? Will the film go on to be massive hit or sink without a trace? Its Hrithik’s time to shine, can he? That’s the big question.
