Review of Kill Dil

Kill Dil (2014)
6/10
Partly Entertaining, Partly Boring!
15 November 2014
'Kill Dil' Directed by Shaad Ali has a brisk first-hour, but a bland & boring second, which acts as a deterrent. The Film is partly entertaining, partly boring!

'Kill Dil' Synopsis: Two killers – Tutu (Ali Zafar) and Dev (Ranveer Singh) were nurtured by Bhaiyaji (Govinda) who trained them to be sharp shooters. Things take an unexpected turn when Dev falls in love with Disha (Parineeti Chopra) and decides to leave his violent life.

'Kill Dil' begins on an awesome note & the bromance between its protagonists works big time. Its the romantic-track, that gets tedious in the latter hour. Even the climax looked hurried & unconvincing. Also, the excessive usage of songs in its first & second-hour, only drag the film pointlessly.

The Screenplay isn't without merit, but it loses steam in the second-hour. A stronger second-hour was most certainly needed! The dialogue, however, are clever. Shaad Ali's Direction is average. Cinematography & Editing are superbly done. Music by Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy is melodious, but the songs pop-up unnecessarily in the narrative.

Performance-Wise: 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. Govinda springs a pleasant surprise. He nails it as the villain. Among Others, Alok Nath is restrained in a cameo.

On the whole, 'Kill Dil' is strictly a watchable fare, that's bogged down by a half-baked Screenplay.
