If that's enough for you, give it a shot. The first hour goes by briskly, and you'll even find yourself smiling along. There's not a lot of praise one can heap on 'Kill Dil' except to say that it's not an unwatchable film. When a man points a gun at Bhaiyaji, he looks unfazed and says: "Maarna hai toh maaro. The film deflates considerably in the second half but the masaledaar dialogue kept me going. But while it lasts, Shaad makes sure you're having a good time. Kil Dil doesn't have weight or enduring value. "On their way" being the important part of that sentence.
KILL DIL MOVIE
Kill/Dil is a smartly packaged movie that makes you want to believe that Indian films are finally on their way to becoming smart and funny and exciting. Watchable & fun, but could have been so much more. Predictable, cheesy, funny, exciting, run-on-the-mill - everything rolled into one. 250 to watch him for 2 hours in an otherwise boring film? We rest our caseīackground music is strong and goes well with the theme of the film. The only saving grace of the film is Ranveer Singh's performance. So if you’re planning to watch this film at all then don’t expect anything and maybe you won’t regret walking into the theater!. I went in with too much expectations came out disappointed. By and large, it offers nothing new to the viewers. Predictable but pacy, stylish but shallow, Kill Dil is a film that has interesting moments few and far between. I am still not able to get over the fact that Shaad Ali and team, couldn't add one new angle to make it look like a product for and by the next generation. Story lines like Kill Dil had started losing their charm 30+ years ago. And the end itself of the film is pretty lame. Some stylish cinematography and background music in the first few minutes that resort to tacky and loud respectively by the end of the film. You are left then with just a few one-liners strewn across that have the potential to bring a smile. Not only because this is a role she must have sleep-walked through but also because her character is just inconsequential. The biggest waste of talent here is Parineeti Chopra. Ranveer Singh, like I said, charms but the character is too loosely written for him to do much with it. While it is refreshing to watch him in a non-chocolate-boy kind-of a role, facial hair taking it a long way, his performance very soon boils down to the same old expressions. Ali Zafar is the most subdued of the lot. Govinda instills fear as he is supposed to but by the end goes over-the-top and the drama gets over-bearing. His actions seem rather functional.įortunately, the performances keep things at the borderline of tolerable. Everything he does comes across as something a character in his situation in any film, ought to have done. Dev himself and more so his transformation seems arbitrary. Similarly, Tutu ( Ali Zafar) is the protagonist, Dev's ( Ranveer Singh) best friend, his alter ego too, but Tutu comes across as just incidental. She has zero role to play in how the others are behaving but all the credit and discredit goes to Disha. But, the overall plot, zero attempt at building any intrigue, the unremarkable characters topped off with outlandish songs popping in from nowhere, just kills any attempt by the audience to enjoy the film.įor instance, Parineeti Chopra's character, Disha just exists. Ranveer Singh's overt attempt at being cute, charms intermittently too. I'm not saying it is because of Govinda's entry that things go downhill, it is a coincidence that the moment the trio Govinda- Ranveer Singh- Ali Zafar start singing one of the title songs, that you wonder how come this sudden drop to slapstick zone? After that, for quite some time, I tried to make sense of the absolute lameness of how the story was moving until I caught myself trying too hard to like the film owing to the first five minutes.Įvery once in a while, there is an odd dialogue that brings a smile. Until, Govinda enters, which is about 5-7 minutes into the film. It makes you sit up and take in all that is happening on screen. The opening scenes are actually perfectly quirky with slick cinematography and crisp editing. Kill Dil doesn't start out like that though.
