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.

View MoreIt is hard to write review of a movie when the entire team has done a done job because it is difficult to talk about one and not the other.Whereas in the case of Kill Dil, writing a review is relatively easy because the entire team "Sucks". The movie has fallen flat in every aspects, be it the story or the acting or the direction, the movie fails to expectation on every angle i.e., everything was disastrous.I would also like to make a comment on the lead actors. Watching the lead cast over the last couple of years, it is easy to see their focus is changing from quality to quantity i.e, the number of films.Hope it helps the other viewers.

The trailers looked good so I had expectations from it, but what turned out was a complete mess of a movie. Govinda, undoubtedly the most powerful actor of the film was made to sit on a rooftop for most parts of the film by the director and growl orders to his henchmen played by Ranveer and Ali Zafar and crack lame jokes with them. While he may have given his full effort to make himself look menacing as Bhaiyaji, the director Shaad Ali wasted it by his poor direction. The director has tried to give the movie a 'Tarantino movie' feel but has given no attention to the story which is a very poorly written one. I am not a fan of Ranveer Singh, but his performance in this movie is good and has given it much needed energy. Parineeti Chopra is wasted in a role of a social worker with only one thing to do, that is party hard and drink harder. Ali Zafar mostly keeps quiet throughout which is a good thing. Except for the title track no other song is great which starts playing on after every 10-15 minutes. I gave Kill Dil 4 stars because of 1.Govinda, 2.Ranveer's effort, 3.the title track, 4.Gulzar's lyrics. Otherwise it's boring and lazy.
... View MoreThe only saving grace in the movie was Govinda, but he was just wasted in the movie. No clue why did he choose to be in the movie (apart from the money part). He was suppose to play a dark character, but it seems the writers and director didn't did their homework properly, and wasted an actor like Govinda, whose sheer presence is just needed to give a desired push upwards. The songs were coming as if there is nothing else to show in the movie. Every 15-20 mins there is a song... Pari, Ali and Ranveer played their part nicely. When would Indian film makers stop taking us for ride and will make some meaningful cinema. Please avoid the movie, if you guys can.
