Too much of everything
Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.
Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.
The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
Kill Dil- 2014 Director: Shaad AliKill Dil finally arrived. It arrived in style or not ? Well yes ! Story is routine. What makes it different are the three men 'Govinda, Ali Zafar Ranveer Singh' !!! The dialogues however, were clever. Shaad Ali's Direction is good. Cinematography & Editing are superbly done. Music by Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy is melodious. The poetry before every song is wisely done.Performance-Wise: Govinda was amazing- well who doesn't love the way Govinda laughs and threats the other person. Too Good. He delivered his dialogues in a very sharp way. He springs a pleasant surprise. He nails it as the villain.Ali Zafar was serious yet acted very well and his entry was Bang Bang with sniper in his hands. He will teach you how to be a true friend.Ranveer Singh is in terrific form, yet again! The talented actor enacts the love-struck young-blood with enviable energy & conviction. Ali Zafar supports Ranveer, wonderfully.Parineeti Chopra looks gorgeous & delivers a fair performance.
Story: Dev (Ranveer Singh) and Tutu (Ali Zafar) work as Bhaiyaji's (Govinda) henchmen. Picked by him from a garbage bin, the two are loyal dogs of the goon who has bred them to do his dirty job. Killing with flair is their job and the two are quite ecstatic about their profession until Dev meets Disha (Parineeti Chopra). An upmarket, Delhi social worker, who doesn't shy from being blunt, Dev falls in irrevocably in love.Stuck between the sinister world of Bhaiyaji and the beautiful world of Disha, Dev ends up lying to both and leading a dual life. All hell breaks loose, when both find out about his other reality. Will Dev give up crime for love or will loyalty towards Bhaiyaji's weigh heavier?Performances: Ranveer Singh is endearing and lovable. You thoroughly enjoy watching him because he puts too much of his impromptu self in making Dev his own. Dev, despite being an ordinarily written, seen-too- many-times-before sort of character, Ranveer adds his own touch of sincerity to the role.Parineeti Chopra is great in her role. This wasn't exactly her film but in the romantic lead opposite Ranveer, there is an unusual, watchable chemistry between the two. I, somehow, go expecting Hasee Toh Phasee from her every time. I am a victim of my own expectations when it comes to her.Ali Zafar cannot act. He is a total mis-fit in this movie.Govinda is amazing. Well, I agree that the guy's caliber is put to good use but there is too little of him in the film. Somehow, his part in the story could have been much longer. It would have been interesting to watch him and Ranveer squabbling more like that intense, momentous 8 minute monologue. Such sparks are rare in the film.Direction & Screenplay: Shaad Ali's long sabbatical since Jhoom Barabar Jhoom did help him. But he still isn't his best. I have no idea why was the film's climax so hurried, warped and abrupt. I didn't even see it coming. It's not just the climax, but the whole film is not clear about what it has set out to achieve. Is it a musical or a crime drama or a thriller or a romance? It's a bit of all of these and yet, none wholesome enough to pull through the audiences' attention for two hours. The delight of the humor used too is sparse. I hope it was intentional to have Alok Nath play the kind insurance company honcho and have a picture of Nirupa Roy in the background with her hapless face. It made me laugh thoroughly. Besides this the LOL and ROFL investigations did not seem funny to me. While, the music of the film is good, there is too much of it. It comes at every other cue and kills the simmering intensity of the film's drama.The last word: Kill Dil is a badly made film. With such sincere actors, the film lacks a distinct soul, killing it's intensity scene by scene, frame by frame by adding frills. Despite good performances by Ranveer and Govinda, the film is a victim of bad writing more than a bad story, and wobbly direction which couldn't guide the ship right. I am going with 2/10. Had the climax been a little meatier, I wouldn't hold the film in such low opinion.
With such a star cast, you can't blame anyone for going to watch this film with a lot of expectation. Even then you look at Shaad Ali's portfolio of work with Saathiya (hit), Bunty aur Babli (hit) and Jhoom Barabar Jhoom (super flop) and you wander whether there is a trend somewhere? Nevertheless, Kill Dil has you hooked at certain points, but lets you go in too many. The first half of the film is excellent - fast paced and at the intermission you kind of have a feeling of what is to come and you're pretty excited but the second hand drags and is the real let down. Also the numerous amount of songs put the film down majorly. It is like every 10 minutes they need to sing and dance - why?! Yes I understand the film is also a comedy and has romance, but some of the songs were neither appropriate or decent! Whilst Bollywood continues to do this, it will also be far far away from Hollywood. The comedy is though, at times brilliant! Ranveer is rib-tickling funny with his silly dialogues and mannerisms. Down to performances, and naturally as expected Ranveer Singh steals the show. The guy is fantastic and post Gunday, delivers yet another reputable role to his portfolio. Ali Zafar oozes class. He not only looks brilliant on screen with his long hair and beard, but brings that calm manner to the screen so well, while Ranveer is the energetic one. Their friendship on screen is shown very well and does remind of you of Jai Veeru in some ways. Parineeti Chopra looks a million dollars and plays her part with ease, however I think she needs to consider different types of roles that challenge her. Govinda is brilliant and it's good to see him back, albeit as a villain. I appreciate he was playing a Gangster, but there was no explanation into why he wanted to kill so many people?! The music of the film is okay, but not amazing. The title track, Sajde and Baawre are my favourites. The rest of the songs are average and picturised even worse. Overall Kill Dil is worth the watch for sure, and certainly go watch it for the performances, especially Ranveer's.
Why Govinda? A Performer like you (even in this one also) choose this duffer script for your comeback or just you only see the Yash raj Banner? Why Ranveer? An actor like you, for whom girls will die for, choose this script to show your power packed acting or just you only try to make Aditya Chopra happy? N Parineeti if stereotyped smile n eye rotations are the criteria for your getting movies , please take rest for few days and learn acting first.Old story, poor songs (not a single one you remember before the next one ), failed back ground score and not but least a PATHETIC SCRIPT ."A COMPLETE DISASTER" Shaad Ali you completely killed my Dill. Rest in peace Kill/DillNote: (For which now I may be criticize) : Ali Zafar , your new style make you look like Indian Johnny Depp. Awesomeness Unlimited
