Kick 2 Movie Review
Kick is one of the finest films in Raviteja’s career. It was remade in Hindi with Salman Khan that went on to become one of the biggest hits in Indian cinema history. Now Team Kick is back with second installment of the franchise. Surender also has plans to do Kick 3!
Story:
Robinhood (Raviteja) is a doctor in USA and his dream project is to build a hospital there. He decides to sell off his ancestral property in India to fund his very expensive dream. Back in India, he meets with an accident which later leads him to Pandit Raviteja (Brahmanandham) and Chaitra (Rakul Preet Singh).
He falls in love with Chaitra. When every thing is going on well, she suddenly gets kidnapped. Raviteja goes to a village, Vilaspur in search of her. The people in the village are tormented by Mining Baron, Suleman Singh Thakur (Ravi Kishan). Situations lead to Raviteja staying in the village and later helps the village from Thakur.
Performances:
Raviteja had tried a new look in the movie which do not get well with the audience. He looks pale even though his energy levels are on high as always. His performance as in the case of Kick-2 is an asset to the movie. Rakul Preet Singh mesmerizes youth and masses with both the village and modern avatars. Ravi Kishan is wonderful as the baddie.
Technical Performances:
Vakkantham Vamsi, the writer and Surender Reddy, the director failed miserably to live up to their stature. The writing is forced at many times just to add the ‘Kick’ flavour to the movie. Also the story has an uncanny resemblance to Khaleja with a different hero characterization. More over the screenplay gets predictable always.
Thaman had come up with an average album and wonderful back ground score. The BGM elevated lot of scenes. Manoj Parmahamsa’s camera work is superb. The grading added more richness to the movie. Kick-2 suffers from improper editing. The movie is intolerably long and can chopped off in the first and second halfs as well. Production Values of NTR Arts are awesome
Plus Points:
- Ravi Teja & Rakul Preet Singh
- SS Thaman’s Music and BGM
- Manoj Paramahamsa’s Cinematography
- NTR Arts Production Values
Minus Points:
- Vakkantham Vamsi’s Story
- Surender Reddy’s Direction
Final Say:
Kick-2 does not stand in any way beside Kick. It lacks both the Kick to audience and comfort to the producer. Give it a miss unless you want to watch some good action episodes and songs.
