I am very big fan of Ravi Teja. It is always interesting and thrilling to watch a Ravi Teja’s movie and reviewing it. I had the opportunity of watching his recent flick “Kick” on the very first day of its release.
I generally don’t miss his films watching them first day. It is like watching a Rajinikanth movie on its very first day and this guy has all the potential to entertain the mass and become superstar like Rajini and it is happy to see so much of his fans out on the first day cheering each and every frame of Ravi Teja. He has the story subjects which will suit only to him and no other hero can do justice to the role he plays except Ravi Teja. His comical sense, dialogue delivery, wow man ! Being a tamilian not knowing telugu that fluently and can only understand telugu a little, I could enjoy a lot and I can imagine how the telugu knowing people would have enjoyed this movie. Language is not important for watching a Ravi Teja movie. Each and every frame of Ravi Teja will make you understand the happenings very clearly. With some of the tamil stars like 12B Shyam, Nalini, Shayaji Shinde are also on the fray, I felt like watching a Tamil movie and my goodness Ravi Teja speaks tamil also here and there in the movie which confirms my statement.
Story Line
You don’t expect or need a scintillating story to have a Ravi Teja in it. Whatever he wants to do, he wants to do it with a “Kick” and whatever he does to make a child happy and smile, that is what is important to him. Nothing else. These are the two lines story of this movie. One might wonder what these lines can do for a 3 hours, 16 reel movie. That is Ravi Teja’s Magic. You don’t need a story or logic to watch a Ravi Teja movie. Still you find it watching his movie a paisa vasool.
Ravi Teja
Since I have written a lot about him, let me add only a few lines on this section. His magical presence, his style, his comedy, his comical fight, his dancing ability and my goodness he has sung one song also. What else you want from him. He is like our tamil Ramarajan who always wears dark colour dress contrasting to his physique. Ravi Teja is like him, always wear dashing dresses. Cool – Cooling Glass. Hats off to his costume designer who had made him look so stylish and breezy.
Ileana
The surprise packet of this movie, I should say is Ileana. She has improved a lot from her earlier films and this film she should rate it as her number one movie. Her style, her dresses, her acting, her emotions, her dancing, her comic style, she looks so beautiful and her pairing with Ravi Teja adds colour and vision. It is good that the director has given this role to Ileana and not to Genelia. Ileana will make a big round after this movie. She has handled her portion with ease. It is lovely to watch this slim beauty Ileana in this movie.
Thaman – Music Director
I guess he is the first time music director for this movie. And all the songs are rocking man. Especially the song “I don’t want love dhina dhina thO” with Ravi Teja dancing, it is undoubtedly the number one superhit song. I have heard this song more than 100 + times now and still it is interesting to hear it repeatedly for some more time. Karthik has sung this superhit song superbly. Dancing of Ravi Teja in this song is awesome and people were clapping throughout this song. “Bossu memory lossu” another funny song sung by Ravi Teja and others is very catchy while watching it visually. “Dhim Thana naayirae” is another superb beat song and it is awesum to see Ravi Teja & Ileana dancing it in a foreign locale. Chithra has sung this song superbly. “Dil kalase” sung by actress Anuksha will definitely attract the younger generation with some good beats in it. When I heard this song for the first time, I thought this movies music is by Yuvan shankar Raja. Such is the impact in this song. “Gore Gore” is another lovely song and once again it is superb to watch it in big screen. Karthik & Jyotsna has sung this song melody beautifully. Even the shortest slow tragedy melody “manase thedisela” is superb to watch it visually.
This movie’s Music Rocks and Hats off to Thaman. Welcome to Indian Music. You have generated a lot of interest for your next movie now. “I don’t want love” is my pick of the song and it sounds Awesome man. Keep up the good work man !
Editing & Photography
I don’t know who had done this but both of them had done a great job. To look a Ravi Teja film interesting you should have the best editing skill and this guy has provided that. Not even a single frame you get bored and the story movies like a jet speed.
Watching it visually in a big screen, this movie looks so awesum and all the locations are pleasant to watch. Thanks for Good photography. Petronos Tower in Malaysia this guy has picturised in a different angle and not like other movies. Entire Malaysia looks beautiful through this guys photographic lens. Rich visuals I would say.
Ravi Teja and his Comical Team
Ravi Teja always shares screen with his regular Comical Team which includes brahmanandham reddy and few others whose name I don’t know. Whenever these people are there together the roof comes down. Especially the person who acts as memory loss doctor, wow man his face tells every thing not even the dialogue. I have never seen the whole auditorium laughing so loudly on their comical acts. This shows that this movie will be a big success. It is beyond doubt that this film is going to be a superhit. Whenever brahmanandam says Raj, Prakash Raj and Ravi Teja says, Ni, Gajini the whole auditorium bursts with laughter. This comical team plays an important role for the big success of this film. Hats off man to all of you.
Actor Shyam & Others
I guess this is his first telugu movie. Good choice. He has done full justice his role. I like the last frame when he gives up his tirade against Ravi Teja and the dialogue he delivers to Kota Srinivasa Rao. This film would give Shyam some more offers in Telugu. Actress Nalini, Shayaji Shinde as Ravi Tejas father do justice to their cameo role.
Direction
To direct a Ravi Teja you should be extremely talented & have lot of comic sense. I guess this director has this a lot and this could be seen in each and every comical scene. Hats off man you did a splendid job. Forget the logic, its flaws and who bothered about this when your main aim is only to entertain and make the audience laugh.
My Verdict
Non challengingly this movie is going to be a Super Hit. I am not saying this as a Ravi Teja’s fan. I am writing this judgement based on the pulse of the audience I have watched. I knew Ravi Teja wants to give a superhit this time and he has done just that. The film has all the ingredients to become a Superhit.
I am going to watch this movie once again that is no doubt for that matter I will watch as many times only for the song “I don’t want love”
Hei guys don’t miss it. Watch “Kick” and “Freak” out.
My Rating
Five Star * * * * *
My punchline
Kick – Superhit FLICK
