Kill Dil ... somewhat watchable ...
Well, been there ... seen that have you ... I know you have !!!
Kill Dil gets us back to those 90s' stories ... same old ... we have seen it ... C'Mon ...
How Bad a story of 2 orphans who grow up to be killers with heart of gold and one of them changes heart can get? Not too bad ... its a tried and tested formula... then why now? Well Shaad Ali the director has to answer that.
The Director, Shaad Ali has some goodies to his name ... He was the director who made Vivek Oberoi act in Saathiya ... he made sure Abhishek Bachan did not go overboard in Bunty aur Babli ... then whay does he pitch Govinda, Ali Zafar, Ranveer Singh and Parineeta Chopra in a hate turns love gone wrong movie and does not do justice? Well ... time will tell ...
Ala 90s, Kill Dil starts of with a benefactor saving two discarded infants ... who turn out to be mind boggling sharp shooters for the benefactor.
Days, weeks, years pass by and the duo become sharper ... and sharper.
Camaraderie is evident. Jokes are prominent and hilarious ... and then comes the girl ... love happens... story loses steam.
Bad ... good ... evil ... noble ... ideas keep on coming and going ... but at the end of the day for obvious reasons, good prevails over evil ... miya biwi raazi to kya karega kaazi ...
Action, love, romance, hatred, double cross, love again, sentiments, tears and the like, we have all that. What makes this movie different from a Akshay Kumar Saif Ali Keemat type movie is nothing ... its the same. Welcome to the 90s. Adi Chopra needs to rethink, what's happening, Gunday earlier and now this.
The songs are plenty. A few of them actually good but then they crop up unexpected and lose sheen. Lyrics is nice and the background voice gives you the creeps.
Story - Could have been better.
Screenplay - not too bad
Performance - Parineeti packs a punch, as always, but could have been happier with some more scenes. Ali Zafar - c'mon man, you deserve better, under rated yet effective. Could have done even more had some more screen time was thrown to him. Govinda - ohh what an absolute waste here. Got a few good lines and scenes but could have been used much more meatily.
Pick of the pack is Ranveer Singh ... brilliant, awesome and lively. He brings in freshness to a vagabond lover n shooter character. He's the only reason why the second half works. Kudos !!!
Climax is abrupt and really needed a lot more work but it was evident that the director actually wanted to cut short the playing time by cutting off the main important scenes.
Not a feather in the hat for the actors or the director but then not unwatchable either. A one time watch is definitely suggested.
Rating wise ... a plus for Ali, Pari and Govinda ... but a minus for story. Taking everything else into consideration its a 2 overall plus a star for Ranveer Singh ... so a 3 out of 5.
