Review of Kick

Kick (2014)
4/10
No "Kick" even for Hardcore Salman/Bhai Fans...
28 July 2014
"Main Dil main to Aata Hoon , Samajh main nahi"....this Dhamakedaar /kicky dialogue sums up Salman Khans life better than any article or future book written on him ever can.

And as such is the highest kick of the few high kicks in this movie.

Just for kicks, lets enumerate some of the low kicks.

Mainstream Bollywood aims for new low kicks by copying movies made in the south which at best border on ridiculous and mostly will cross over into absurd territory, its only fitting that the man who has pushed Star Studded movies onto the other side is Salman Khan whose own life runs much like South Indian films.

Silly is OK but most of the movie borders on ridiculous, and not the cool ridiculous satirical /poke fun at yourself Dabangg way, but just plain old stupidity.

Shameless melodrama, haphazard direction and story, poorly choreographed action scenes, etc etc etc.

And I thought I could repeat the word "KICK" 786 TIMES IN THIS REVIEW LIKE THE MOVIE DOES....BUT I JUST COULD NOT.

Page after Page could be filled with the various below the belt kicks that this movie gives you....but lets get to the high kicks.

Every Salman movie is about Salman and as such Salman fans wont get the kick that they Wanted(note the pun). This is more like the 20th cigarette a chain smoker has, gives you a mild kick, but only leaves you feeling full of self pity.

Nawazuddin and Hooda do a great job of what little roles they have and as such are the only bright spots in the acting department, seeing them bring such honesty to such a ridiculous movie gives major kicks.

The 4 songs are all catchy , Honey Singh/ Himmesh Reshamiya, hot chicks filled goodness, with the random Salman steps to boot, super kicks.

I love the fact that movies have given up trying to have albums with 12 songs and instead have only 4 songs each of which are blockbuster, my personal favourite is Tere Bina Kick.....Fakri hmmm Fakri....mann karta hain naam mein hi ....

Jacky is there to do a Job and By God she does, lehenga, skirts, microminis, librarian, the homely girl who goes wild, every kick that an Indian Man seeks from a woman she has delivered, god bless her soul for making this movie tolerable.

-s was there even a script writer or was the entire movie hammed? Kick,kick,kick,kick,,,,,,OK I give up...

+/-s Salman Khan...love him,...hate him.....

+s Songs, Jacky, Hooda, Nawaz...technically/visually very sound.

In the end "Picture Na Toh Dil Mein Aata Hain, Na Samajh"..If you go for this movie you're going to end up Kicking yourself(one last time)..you're much better off watching the official promotional music videos and trailers on-line.....they are the best part of this movie.....(I say this while watching the Tere Bina video for the 5000th time on YouTube).
