Kill Dil

wogma rating: Watch if you have nothing better to do (?)

quick review:

Plot that should've been done away with in the 70s - lingers on unimaginatively and bores.

Director: Shaad Ali
Running time: 130 minutes
Genres: Crime, Romance
More Movie Info

A contract killer who has his first fist fight when he was 5 is reformed because of love while the reformer, the lady, is oblivious to the fact that he kill for a living. Add songs at random spots, loud background score, louder dialogue delivery and you have a film that disappoints you with every passing frame.

Kill Dil doesn't start out like that though. The opening scenes are actually perfectly quirky with slick cinematography and crisp editing. It makes you sit up and take in all that is happening on screen. Until, Govinda enters, which is about 5-7 minutes into the film.

I'm not saying it is because of Govinda's entry that things go downhill, it is a coincidence that the moment the trio Govinda-Ranveer Singh-Ali Zafar start singing one of the title songs, that you wonder how come this sudden drop to slapstick zone? After that, for quite some time, I tried to make sense of the absolute lameness of how the story was moving until I caught myself trying too hard to like the film owing to the first five minutes.

Every once in a while, there is an odd dialogue that brings a smile. Ranveer Singh's overt attempt at being cute, charms intermittently too. But, the overall plot, zero attempt at building any intrigue, the unremarkable characters topped off with outlandish songs popping in from nowhere, just kills any attempt by the audience to enjoy the film.

For instance, Parineeti Chopra's character, Disha just exists. She has zero role to play in how the others are behaving but all the credit and discredit goes to Disha. Similarly, Tutu (Ali Zafar) is the protagonist, Dev's (Ranveer Singh) best friend, his alter ego too, but Tutu comes across as just incidental. Dev himself and more so his transformation seems arbitrary. Everything he does comes across as something a character in his situation in any film, ought to have done. His actions seem rather functional.

Fortunately, the performances keep things at the borderline of tolerable. Govinda instills fear as he is supposed to but by the end goes over-the-top and the drama gets over-bearing. Ali Zafar is the most subdued of the lot. While it is refreshing to watch him in a non-chocolate-boy kind-of a role, facial hair taking it a long way, his performance very soon boils down to the same old expressions. Ranveer Singh, like I said, charms but the character is too loosely written for him to do much with it. The biggest waste of talent here is Parineeti Chopra. Not only because this is a role she must have sleep-walked through but also because her character is just inconsequential.

You are left then with just a few one-liners strewn across that have the potential to bring a smile. Some stylish cinematography and background music in the first few minutes that resort to tacky and loud respectively by the end of the film. And the end itself of the film is pretty lame.

Story lines like Kill Dil had started losing their charm 30+ years ago. I am still not able to get over the fact that Shaad Ali and team, couldn't add one new angle to make it look like a product for and by the next generation.

Thumbs up, by Rohit Khilnani, india today : ...The film is shot beautifully and actors are styled very well. Music by Shankar Ehsaan Loy is good and Shaad Ali deserves a pat on his back for putting all this together. Even after all the little flaws Kill Dil is a good watch! Two hours of pure entertainment.... full review

So-So, by Nikhil Kumar, Apun Ka Choice : ...Predictable but pacy, stylish but shallow, Kill Dil is a film that has interesting moments few and far between. By and large, it offers nothing new to the viewers.... full review

So-So, by Namrata Thakker, Bollywood Life : ...I went in with too much expectations came out disappointed. So if you’re planning to watch this film at all then don’t expect anything and maybe you won’t regret walking into the theater!... full review

So-So, Daily Bhaskar : ...The only saving grace of the film is Ranveer Singh's performance. But will you pay Rs. 250 to watch him for 2 hours in an otherwise boring film? We rest our case Background music is strong and goes well with the theme of the film. Songs are good to listen if not ... full review

So-So, by Raja Satish, Desi Martini : ...Predictable, cheesy, funny, exciting, run-on-the-mill - everything rolled into one.... full review

So-So, by Inspector VIjay, Desi Martini : ... Watchable & fun, but could have been so much more.... full review

So-So, by Nupur Barua , Fully Hyderabad : ...Kill/Dil is a smartly packaged movie that makes you want to believe that Indian films are finally on their way to becoming smart and funny and exciting. "On their way" being the important part of that sentence.... full review

So-So, by Anupama Chopra,, Hindustan Times : ...Kil Dil doesn't have weight or enduring value. But while it lasts, Shaad makes sure you're having a good time. The film deflates considerably in the second half but the masaledaar dialogue kept me going. When a man points a gun at Bhaiyaji, he looks unfazed and says: "Maarna hai toh maaro. Ghoor ke mera time waste mat karo." Now that's a killer I can get behind. ... full review

So-So, by Raajiv Masand, IBN Live : ...There's not a lot of praise one can heap on 'Kill Dil' except to say that it's not an unwatchable film. The first hour goes by briskly, and you'll even find yourself smiling along. If that's enough for you, give it a shot. I'm going with two stars for the film, and additional half star for Ranveer Singh's terrific performance, which makes it two-and-a-half out of five for 'Kill Dil'.... full review

So-So, by Shubha Shetty Saha, MiD DAY : ...And yes, while one understands the logic of keeping overdrawn emotions in check, a little more elaborate climax would have given a better kick. Watch it for the pleasure of watching two goofballs, Ranveer Singh and Govinda, together. ... full review

So-So, by Anish Mohanty , Planet Bollywood : ...Kill Dil could have been an interesting cross between the sensibilities of a western cowboy flick and a commercial potboiler but the poor writing plays spoilsport. Shaad Ali does not compromise with the visuals and makes a film which is filled with stunning frames. Had he paid equal, if not more, attention to the script, we would not have much to complain about. If you must, watch it for the performances and the superlative soundtrack by Shankar Ehsaan Loy.... full review

So-So, by Sonia Chopra, Sify Movies : ...Director Shaad Ali (Saathiya, Bunty Aur Babli, Jhoom Barabar Jhoom) attempts making a loud, formulaic, intermittently entertaining, and visually indulgent film. Quite a departure from his usual style. For the cast, and a few interesting moments, and the stylistic treatment (that often goes overboard), this one's an ok watch. That's if you're up for a cliched story packaged a little differently.... full review

So-So, by Meena Iyer, Times of India : ...At the end of it all, like in most Bollywood films, he walks into the sunset with his girl, who rushes back to him after she hears of his attempt to kill himself. And while they plan on living a clean life; Tutu tries to go legit and find himself a job.... full review

So-So, by Anindita Dev, Zee News : ...By Bollywood standards, the movie has enough fodder to hook and book you to your seats for two hours. Three stars for `Kill Dil`! And if you are a movie-buff then go home humming `kakakakaka ..Kill Kill....dadada Dill Dil...`!... full review

Thumbs down, by Anna MM Vetticad, annavetticadgoes2themovies : ...If Shaad had summoned up half as much passion for this project as Ranveer and Parineeti expend on it, Kill/Dil would not have felt like the listless, criminal waste of amazing resources that it is.... full review

Thumbs down, by Baradwaj Rangan, Blogical Conclusion, The New Sunday Express : ...At every point, you keep wanting Kill/Dil to be so much more – but this isn’t a lazy failure. If anything, Ali tries to do too much. Some of the dialogue is so tangy you can taste it. (“Poore sau gram ke garam goli daale hain body mein.”) And even the de rigueur Bollywood referencing is meticulous, miles removed from Farah Khan’s hefty nudges in the rib; few, if any, must have spent so much mental energy over a Nirupa Roy gag. She’s the founder of the company Dev works for, the one that sells life insurance (her picture hangs on a wall), and her Bollywood avatar stands for maternal love, aka mamta, and the slogan of the company is rahe na rahe hum, which is, of course, a song from a film named… Mamta. The film’s tragedy is that Ali works up such a sweat and ends up nowhere... full review

Thumbs down, by Bobby Sing, Bobby Talks Cinema.com : ...But apart from these two insertions, KILL DIL simply deserves to be ignored and Shaad Ali really misses the train making such a terrible film, wasting a huge opportunity in hands. How could you do it Shaad……especially with Govinda? and…….. What are you doing Aditya with the Yash Raj Banner churning out such trashes?... full review

Thumbs down, Bollywood Hungama : ...On the whole, KILL DIL is a film, which could have been worth watching, had it been handled and directed properly. This film's definitely worth a miss.... full review

Thumbs down, by Suparna Sharma, Deccan Chronicle : ...'Kill/Dil' flirts with the idea of having rotten men as its lead pair. It even seems to enjoy their bloody bonhomie. But it chickens out. What a shame! And what a waste! Imagine if Yash Chopra had chickened out and made Vijay sign up to become an LIC agent? ... full review

Thumbs down, by Smita Vyas Kumar, Desi Martini : ...A trite story, stony expressions and faux gangsters make this a suicidal watch. A colossal bore.... full review

Thumbs down, by Tushar Joshi, DNA : ...With style trumping over substance, Kill Dil fails to win over our hearts. We wish we got a better story line and more of Govinda!... full review

Thumbs down, by Rachit Gupta, Filmfare : ...End of the day, this is a classic case of could-have-been. KillDil had the potential. Sadly, the director could find singularity in his vision. It’ll be a surprise if anyone remembers this movie in the days to come.... full review

Thumbs down, by Johnson Thomas, Free Press Journal : ...The music might have done well if it did not have this sunken tub to lift up. Within the film it looks and sounds out of place. But that’s not to say that it’s universally bad. It has some retro chic and is quite ear-pleasing as a standalone. Otherwise there is no saving grace to be had here. Do spend your money on the re-mastered classic ‘Garm Hawa’ instead. That is definitely a far more deserving and beneficial outing to the cinemas! - See more at: http://freepressjournal.in/movie-review-killdil-gangsta-crap/#sthash.43OdaWHg.dpuf... full review

Thumbs down, by koel Purie, india today : ...The music - I love the electronic element and dance beats to almost every song. The choreography is copyable-ly good and of course, they can all dance. The placement of the songs, however, is a whole other disaster story.... full review

Thumbs down, by Suhani Singh, india today : ...With its dialogues and incessant bullets and songs, Kill Dil tries to make a lot of noise. But the film's plain vanilla with little drama/thrill to keep you hooked.... full review

Thumbs down, Indicine : ...Our expectations from Kill Dil weren’t exactly sky high keeping in mind the previous effort of director Shaad Ali, but Kill Dil turns out to be bad even by those standards. It is unoriginal, hackneyed, uneven and doesn’t know what it wants to be as a film. The climax is just the cherry on this bad tasting cake!... full review

Thumbs down, by Sanjukta Sharma, Live Mint : ...Kill/Dil is an amalgam of Hindi film clichés, the most obvious being the orphans, set to uninspired gimmicks. A waste of a Govinda comeback.... full review

Thumbs down, by Joginder Tuteja, Movie Talkies : ...This is where one feels that though Ranveer continues to do well as an actor, Ali shows how he can hold a scene even by approaching high drama in a subtle way and Govinda can be menacing when he wants, the sum total of it all couldn't quite make Kill Dil an enticing affair. As for Parineeti Chopra, she does climb up a Qutub Minar here, well literally, but it could have been a more worthwhile effort for a better written character in a more engaging story ... full review

Thumbs down, by Divya Solgama, MoviezADDA : ...Dum? Well, the packaging of the film is good with an interesting star cast, enjoyable music and a solo release at the cinema halls, due to which the movie will generate a good amount of curiosity and expectations. Sadly, due to weak screenplay and dull direction the movie fails to meet the expectation level and ends up delivering a weak-boring-confused product. One thing it manages to give is a heart break, which could be retermed as dil diya and dard liya... full review

Thumbs down, by Saibal Chatterjee , NDTV : ...Watch Kill Dil if you have plenty of time to kill. It is unlikely to deliver much joy to your dil, though.... full review

Thumbs down, by Noyon Jyoti Parasara, Now Running.com : ...You may watch Kill Dil only if you are a fan of any of the actors. I would say, let it pass.... full review

Thumbs down, by Sukanya Verma., Rediff : ...But his character in Kill Dil is too haphazard to make sense. As admirably as he tries, occasionally scooping out a laugh out loud, his change of heart is ridiculously unnatural.... full review

Thumbs down, by ANUJ KUMAR, The Hindu : ...Parnineeti, trying to show her glamorous side plays along and Ali, the Jai of the story, doesn’t disappoint. Govinda returning after a while in grey shades adds to the world play in his characteristic style.... full review

Thumbs down, by Rummana Ahmed, yahoo! India : ...To be honest, the actors – Ranveer, Parineeti, Ali and Govinda -- execute their parts with complete honesty, but there is little you can do if you are saddled with such a contrived narrative.... full review

@Meetu: feel sorry that you have to sit through such rubbish. Having said that by experience I know that you do not review each and every movie that comes out - take Super Nani for instance. So a suggestion: just skip the crappy YRF products that are thrown at us with one and only one objective - to make us part with our hard earned money without offering anything in return. Best way is to revolt and stop reviewing their rubbish.

As regards Zafar Ali, the least said the best. Apart from a sleeper hit of Tere Bin, this Pakistani import has nothing to offer. Why do even Indian producers sign him I cannot understand - there are loads of better and less money demanding actors available in the country.

@Fan Thank you for your sypmathies. :D

I was out on a vacation, thus didn't review Super Nani. Else, if the movie is playing even in a far away theater I try to review at least one a week. Unless, I am pretty sure the show is going to get cancelled because not enough people showed up. The only exception has been "Grand Masti" :)

Hi Meetu, Here is what I have written about the movie. Kill Dil isn't a completely write off movie as it begins with a stylized tone, has some endearing performances, good music but gradually the movie looses its steam because of bad writing, couple of extra songs & had the ending been not that hurried & warped, it would have been a good watch. For my detailed review, please visit.........http://rohitmoviereview.blogspot.in/

Anup

Reviews for this movie have shocked me..... No reviewer have given this one good reviews not even Taran Adarsh........ Seems it's even bad as compared to Gundam which itself was giving the feel of 80s and have nothing new to it but was at least bearable........ Ranger Singh should now say Bye Bye to YRF..... And concentrate on his new godfather SLB

Anup

Sorry it's Gunday and Ranveer

Fan

@Anup: Parineeti too must say bye-bye to YRF. She is an extremely promising actress, and a potential future # 1 - provided she chooses her films carefully. After two consecutive fiascos this year called Dawaat-e-Ishq and now Kill Dil she must ditch the production house if she wants to remain in the top bracket. If we add last year's YRF and Dharma's fiascos (Shuddhh Desi Rubbish and Hasee to Phasee) then she has 4 consecutive flops thanks to these production houses.

I m fed up of these films which are frequently being churned out, how many times would a viewer be hammered to watch the same regressive cinema (Desi Kattey & Gunday) every friday with different faces. They have run out of ideas and hence keep repeating the retro masala type entertainment which appears cliched and banal in todays era. I am saving my 250 rupees for Action Jacksion and PK.

Gokul

@guddu Agree with everything except Action Jackson.It looks like every Prabhudeva film ever.The guy is stuck on taking us back to the 80's

Anuj

Ranveer Singh seems to be yet another case of an empty vessel making excessive noise. The guy's got just one genuine hit to his name in 4 years, that too all thanks to his so-called girlfriend Deepika Padukone. Even Sid Malhotra and Varun Dhawan have marched ahead this year. Arjun Kapoor is the only real promising new talent to have come out in recent times, although there's still a long way to go for all these guys. Its high time Ranveer chooses his films wisely. @Anup : If SLB is his new godfather then god save Ranveer.

Anuj

Ajay D will make AJ work among the masses just like he did with the far superior Singham films! You can say all that you want about Prabhu Deva's films but you cannot deny his success rate. He's the one responsible for bringing back Salman Khan out of the doldrums in 2009 with Wanted and Akshay Kumar in 2012 with RR. In fact he almost did the same with an otherwise struggling Shahid Kapoor with R...Rajkumar!

Gokul ... Prabhudeva's last two films were huge disappointment in terms of exceptations, however they did managed to recover their investment with a smidge profit. Action Jackason stars Ajay Devgn and the fact that it is a remake of telgu flick 'Dokodu' which was a massive hit, leaves no room to doubt the film's potential.
@Anuj i vehmently agree ur assessment about Ranveer, he's being eulogized by the paid critics and media and he's boastful of his pseduo fake acting credential.

Gokul

@guddu I just stated it because you said you hated retro type masala entertainers but in the same sentence stated you liked Prabhudeva whose every film is a dude with a moustache trying to beat off guys while wooing Sonakshi Sinha aka every 80's bollywood film ever

Anup

Anuj - I think Bajirao Mastani will be a lot better then Ram leela which was so so for me........As it was dream project for SLB ...... And yes SLB is making good movies good movies as compared to YRF.......
As about Pravudeva ,, he is the actual reason why bollywood industry is so much busy in copying South Indian movies.....Wanted was a true entertainer because its original was too.....For Rowdy it has been ptomited in a wronge manner ,, its original was a comedy film but Rowdy although being scene by scene copy has been promoted as action movie......For Ramayiya Vastavayiya ,, a genuine sweet story has been wasted because of bad lead actors......Lastly R RAJKUMAR was a movie without any plot......
BUt now about action jaction ,, it has been copied from DOKUDU which was a great hit ,, not just in south india but all over asia,,,,and it has a really nice plot,,,,,Pravu Deva should not spoil such a good story......Although m afraid why Salmaan has disagreed to do the movie,,,,as he has been the first choice of Pravu

@Suman: ROFL seeing ZERO for lyrics. Agree with you. Must be a first for Gulzaarsaab. Unless if YRF found another dude called Gulzaar ;-)

Anuj

@Anup : That's because Salman is looking for a genre change and Prem Ratan with Sooraj Barjatya is undoubtedly gonna be the biggest hit if 2015 (although personally, i might hate the film).

Imo Parineeta is a sweetheart and much more talented than bikini glam dolls like Deepika and Katrina but she needs to work with good film makers like Neeraj Pandey, Farhan Akhtar, Vishal Bharadwaj (in Kaminey mode) etc in order to get the best out of her.

KILL DIL is perhaps the beginning of the end of the YashRaj legacy that sees no future after the death of the man named Yash-Raj himself! Unfortunately even Yash Raj Chopra's last movie was the worst that he ever made in his whole life.

Fan

@Anuj: how I wish that your last post turns out to be true. Unfortunately they do their economics of a rotten tomato film; calculating just how many suckers will turn up; and restrict their budget to that amount necessary to make the necessary ROI.

People across India have to vehemently reject their products and consistently reject their products. Despite being a leading production house they do not dare to innovate; do something hatke; be a pioneer and a trendsetter. In that sense UTV is miles ahead of YRF despite being relatively much younger than YRF.

Kill Dil worst movie i have seen in our whole life.....

Anup

Kill Dill came to me as one of those rare movies in which the plot is all most zero ,, or too many decades old ,, but the humor , acting and the style of treatment makes it nice enough......Something like what happened in case when i have watched TASHAN (YES I know tashan is considered as one of the worst movies by critics but there are few people who liked it and m one of them)....And i think there will be some who will like kill dill....Still m not saying that its a good movie,,but its passable with some really good LOL moments.....
Although its too hard to understand how can four of such actors have selected such a dumb plot....And for how many more movies Ranveer will be paying back the debt to YRF for launching him by selecting movies like Gunday and Kill Dill.....Its time for him to give another performance like LOOTERA....Hope Vikramaditya Motwane is listening . .

@Anup I can do with another Lootera - both from Ranveer Singh and Sonakshi Sinha!

Fan

After Udaan, Lootera was a letdown.

Just like after A Wednesday, the special 26 was a letdown.

Anuj

@Fan: I personally feel Special 26 in itself was a good watchable thriller and a lot better than many of the films bollywood churns out year after year. Of course when you make a movie like A Wednesday as your first, the expectations are bound to be sky high!

Anup

@Anuj & Fan - cant expect every next movie to be better then the last one ,, but thinking of the movies which came every friday to the theater Lootera and Special 26 are gems.....
And i personally doesnt find any flawes in Lootera,,,,......

Fan

IMHO
Lootera was nice. But Udaan was superb.

@Fan I don't think the two are comparable. Different genres, different moods.

Though I didn't like Special 26 much, especially if you had to compare it to a film in the same genre - thriller - A Wednesday

Fan

@Meetu: Agreed that Udaan and Lootera are as different genres as chalk and cheese. But the expectations are oblivious of such factors as different genres, etc.

After watching Udaan, you go to the theatre expecting even more from the director. I found Lootera, by itself, a nice movie. No two doubts. It's the comparison that let's down.

@Fan Oh well...

Anuj

"I found Lootera, by itself, a nice movie. No two doubts. It's the comparison that let's down." ~ ditto for Special 26 vs A Wednesday, Haider vs Kaminey or even an Interstellar vs Inception. Sometimes making a masterpiece can actually be a film maker's burden when directing his next!
