Kick :: My Review

Surrender, famous for his action movies has made a full length entertainer with Raviteja. It is a tailor made subject for Raviteja and he is damn good as Kalyan. Ileana has put on some weight is looking gorgeous.

Kick : RaviTeja all the way!!!

Screenplay & Direction : Surender Reddy.
Release Date: 8th May, 2009.

Story: Kalyan is an entirely different guy who seems to see everything different. He wants his work to be challenging not routine. He likes challenges. He has guts and simply he is not the kind of guy we see around us. Typically a guy who everyone dreams to live but couldnt. He keeps on quits his jobs as he feels they lack challenge and he is bored doing the same thing day and day. He even feels bored of winning hence celebrates his defeat once. Few dialogues like "udayam nundi telugu matladi matladi chiraku dobbindi", "kothaga cheppu, edaina kothaga, kothaga" can define Kalyans attitude.

The movie starts with "PelliChoopulu" episode of Naina(Iliyana) and kalyan krishna(Shyam) in a train in Malaysia. Naina is quite impressive with shyam but the only thing she hates is his name. Yes, his name is kalyan krishna and our hero name is Kalyan. She introduces kalyan as her ex-boy friend and starts telling her flashback. Even Shyam has a flashback. He is in Malaysia to catch an intelligent thief who robbed more than 70 Crores in India. Fortunately the thief has to be Kalyan or else the movie looses 'kick'. So kalyan krishna chasing kalyan. How interesting? Isnt it!! The rest of the story is will Naina meets Kalyan. Why kalyan happens to be a thief and whether kalyan krishna catches the thief or not.

Typical, telugu cinema with a very routine story. Unlike his previous movies action director surender adapted a very lighter vien. The entire movie is dealt with comedy.

RaviTeja + Iliyana + Brahmanandam + Ali + Shyam = KICK


Performances:

RaviTeja: RaviTeja is a perfect fit for the story probably kick is a tailor made subject for RaviTeja. He has lots of energy, his comic sense, timing is excellent. He is loud at certain times but acceptable. He seems to be getting old with his face loosing the previous grace he had.

Iliyana: Iliyana put up some flesh on her body and she is really hot. In the opening scenes where she appears in saree, god she is terrific. Even her acting too improved a bit. She is good, but the usage of words "Nee Abba" and "Naa Kodaka" where ever possible seems too much on the screen.

Shyam: Shyam is good. He adds freshness to the movie with his manly appearance and a perfect fit for a cop role.

Sidelights:

Few comedy scenes were okay but most of the movie seemed to be silly with slick comedy. The episode in the police station was too much and i dont understand why people laugh too much for these kind of slick comedies.

Imitation of Big-B by RaviTeja is good.

A surprise package from surender with very minimal fights.

Climax and the opening scenes are too boring and un interesting.

Ali was good with his kind of mannerism.

Dostana comedy was hilarious.

Breaking of the 'LOOSER' code is hilarious. The intelligent cop spend two days to spell 'LOOSER' as 'LOSER' and then reverse those letters to get the malaysian flight number. How funny it is

Story - Screenplay: Asusual, for a telugu movie there isnt any story even the screenplay isnt that great. The script writers and director relied on comedy. Few scenes were hilarious while the rest seemed to be slick and silly.

Music: Music is good for a debutant, even his back ground is impressive.

Songs:

1. Kannethi chudake: Good picturization. 3.5/5
2. Atu Chuddodannana : seemed to be lengthy. 3/5
3. Dil Kalase: Montage song with a different picturization. 3/5
4. Boss Memory Loss: Funny song 3/5
5. Gore Gore: seems surender has learned something from his satyam emito song in athidi. 3.5/5

Photography : Good

Direction: Nothing specific to say. An entirely different flick from surender.

Bottom Line: The first 30-45 minutes of the movie is strictly okay, it was neither impressive nor bad to avoid. The first half of the second half is impressive and the later half of the movie is utterly disappointing.

If you are a kind of person who need a comedy flick, no mater what kind of comedy it is, Go and watch the movie you feel it worth watching. If you are expecting something from the movie apart from the slick comedy then you feel disappointing. If you are a person who look for a good story, good dialogues and logical kind of stuff, you can happily avoid this flick.


My Rating : 3/5
