KILL DIL Is One Fine Example Of Lazy Film Making

Pluses:

Ranveer Singh manages to pull off badly written role, Govinda has best scenes in the film, background score is awesome

Minuses:

pathetic writing, Parineeti Chopra is misfit in role, Ali Zafar continues to irritate, boring songs, abrupt ending

Critic Rating:

1.5/5

Business Rating:

2.5/5

Verdict:

Watch it for energetic act of Ranveer Singh and power packed act of Govinda

Detailed Analysis:

Shaad Ali is making a come back after disastrous 'Jhoom Barabar Jhoom' and this time he has managed an interesting cast with inclusion of Govinda.

Film has old plot and there is nothing new to offer. Two kids are struggling to meet ends and living virtually on road. Local mafia Bhaiyyaji (Govinda) takes these kids under his wings and they shape up as his contract killers. Dev (Ranveer Singh) and Tuttu (Ali Zafar) are doing good as contract killers until Dev falls in love with Disha (Parineeti Chopra). Disha rehabilitates criminals and she also falls in love with Dev but she doesn't know his criminal profession. Now Dev wants to get rid of profession and he gets a job in an insurance company after a long struggle. But Bhaiyaaji is hurt as his sharp shooter disobeyed his order and he creates confusion which reveals identity of Dev in front of Disha. Will Dev manage to get his love back or he will again turn into a devil, answer lies in the climax.

Performance wise Ranveer Singh shines once again but only due to his sheer energy as he is restricted by very badly penned role. Parineeti Chopra is completely out of sort as she tries hard to look glamorous but she fails miserably. Ali Zafar continues to irritate with poor dialogue delivery and monotonous expression. Govinda is simply outstanding and especially in one dance song sequence his intensity is outstanding. Alok Nath is decent in small role. Shaad Ali and Sukhwinder appears for one shot each.

Film has some real boring songs and they are plenty in numbers. Editing is top notch and cinematography is good. Background score is simply mind blowing . Screenplay is below par  as film goes no where in 2nd half. Story is straight from 70's, dated and unimaginative. Art department and costume department are average.

Director Shaad Ali made impressive debut with 'Saathiya' followed by 'Bunty Aur Babli' and then he went haywire with 'Jhoom Barabar Jhoom'. Now he delivers another shockingly bad film and this is sheer lazy film making.

Film released today and got 2600 screens which will be more than enough for such film. Film has good chances at box office as there is no major competition from Bollywood. But still film will find it tough at box office.

Go for this one for some serious amount of laughter!
