Akshay Kumar, who had given super hits in Rowdy
Rathore and Oh My God, is back with his action entertainer Khiladi 786.
Produced by Himesh Reshamiya, Khiladi 786′s music has been a chart
buster, making this film the most awaited in recent times. After a huge
promotion and publicity Khiladi 786 has finally released today. Let’s
see how it is.
Story:
Mansukh(Himesh Reshamiya) is a wedding planner who works with his father in arranging marriages. But to his bad luck Mansukh ends up spoiling all the weddings with his silly
mistakes. After one famous wedding turns into complete chaos, his
father kicks him out of the house. A disappointed Mansukh leaves to
Mumbai and decides to some how get a high profile wedding fixed, and
impress his father.
As soon as he lands in Mumbai, Mansukh gets into an
argument with Asin, who is the sister of a famous don TTT(Mithun
Chakravarthy). TTT, who is obsessed with his sister, wants to get her
married at any cost. Taking this reason as his advantage Manuskh lies to
TTT that he has a great marriage
proposal, and reveals about Bhahattar Singh(Akshay Kumar) On the other
hand Bahattar Singh is happy go lucky thief, who also wants to get
married and falls to Mansukh’s lies about this match. What is Mansukh’s
lie? and How does he get both the families together, forms the rest of
the story.
Plus Points:
Himesh Reshamiya, who has written the story does a
decent job. Though the plot is predictable, he manages an intriguing
story line. Akshay Kumar looks good and does his part well. Himesh
Reshamiya steals the show here. He is extremely good in comedy scenes
and plays the sheer anchor’s role. Songs of the film are a big bonus and
will surely attract good crowds. First half of the movie has some fun
elements. Asin’s chemistry with Akshay looks good on screen. Comedy
scenes between Akshay and Mithun Chakravarthy are worth a mention. This
kind of entertainment will surely be liked by the front bencher’s and
mostly in the interior parts of India.
Minus Points:
Khladi 786 is one film, which has over the top
moments in huge doses. The action is over rated to the core, and some
scenes have been dragged out for no reason. For the first time, Akshay
Kumar some how has a weak role in the film. He does not have much to do in the film and appears mostly during the fights and songs.
Though the story is good, its execution is where the
film falters. The film slows down in the second half and looses it way .
Over the top comedy, stunts and
drama will not be liked by some urban audience. Some basic loopholes
and character justifications have been missed in the film.
Technical Aspects:
The movie has some funny one liners, which are written quite well. Songs are a big plus for this film. Himesh Reshamiya has given a memorable score and Hooka
Bar, Long Drive and Balma are sure shot chart-busters, which have been
shot extremely well. Dialogues are decent and so is the editing. The
whole look of the film is good, and some action scenes have been
choreographed well.
Screenplay of the film could have been a lot
stronger. One can say the director has been completely involved himself
in giving this film a complete masala look and in the process failed to
add the main ingredient.
Verdict:
On the whole, Khiladi 786 is one film which has the
so called masala elements to the core. Superb songs and decent comedy
are sure shot plus points. On the flip side, some overrated performances
and over the top sequences spoil the fun. Finally, If you have liked
films like Wanted, Rowdy Rathore and Bodyguard, you will surely like
Khiladi 786. BUt for general public it is just a one time watch.
Rating : 2.75/5
