I couldn't have been more
disappointed with the hindi movies I watched in the last two weekends. Kill Dil
and Happy Ending. Watching either of the movies was De'ja' Vu,only thing
these movies offered was an option to kill your time if you really can’t sleep,
hey! But even then I would rather just watch re-runs of House instead, it has
better and more interesting endings
Kill Dil is about two
professional shooters/ murderers- Dev (Ranveer Singh) and Tutu( Ali Zafer) who work for Bhaiyaji
(Govinda). Dev falls for the criminal psychologist Disha (Parineeti) and
resolves to turn clean to the dismay of his boss. Tutu helps Dev in the
process, loads of drama that ends with ofcourse a happy ending- unexpected assassination
of Bhaiyaji. The shooters turn clean and go scot- free, so what if they
murdered a hundred, everyone deserves a chance- right? The characters of both Ranveer &
Parineeti are NO DIFFERENT than you have seen them play in their recent past.
Ranveer with his eccentric dressing style and idiosyncratic mannerisms and Parineeti
is the same outgoing, bubby and unconventional girl. It seems the director just
wanted to work on the “tried and tested”
Happy ending is another repeat of
Saif’s own movies. It feels that you have had a mocktail made of love aaj kal
and cocktail. Why do I call it a mocktail, simply because this is no way
enticing or intoxicating, I just feel cheated!.
The only two things that differentiate it from the other two movies is that
the directors are different and perhaps Saif Ali Khan’s look (sorta!). The
chore character of the protagonist remains the same “non- committal” “a player”
who struggles with his “confused feelings about love”. Also the plot is always
geographically situated in and around the United States- Really? Why? There is
something about the air there that makes men this way? . In each of these three
movies the female protagonist goes “No Contact” and runs to the Indian Soil and
apna hero will follow her and turn in to a committed adorable guy and there you
go – a predictable ending. I go like
hmmm…and to be honest forget a happy ending , I just wanted to the movie to end
– period!
Both the movies had one common
actor- Govinda. Here again! I really feel a senior actor like him has more
liberty to experiment with these meaty character roles. Comedy and dancing have
always been his forte and have always admired those skills but I was really
hoping his comeback would be more daring.
I thought Kill dil was a little
more entertaining in comparison ..my two cents!
