Khiladi 786

Direction   :  Ashish R Mohan
Writer       :  Himesh Reshammiya
Starring     :  Akshay Kumar, Asin, Paresh Rawal, Mithun Chakraborty


Bahattar  Singh (Akshay Kumar) is a local hooligan who helps the cops in Punjab police catch smuggled goods. His entire family, including Sattar Singh (Raj Babbar), Ekhattar Singh (Mukesh Rishi) have been doing the same work even as they run an akhada (wrestling arena) in their backyard. Due to their bad deeds, no girl in India is ready to get married into their family. (Akshay’s mother is a Canadian, grandmother a South African and aunt a Chinese lady.) In another setting, Tatya Tukaram  Tendulkar (Mithun Chakraborty) is a famous gangster whose sister Indu (Asin) refuses to marry the few decent boys who agree to get married to her. Mansukh (Himesh Reshammiya), who is a match-maker by profession, tries to arrange the marriage of Bahattar and Indu. A whole lot of lies and innumerable confusing twists later, the film manages to come to an end.

Akshay is a treat for all his fans. From action to romance, from breaking bones to dancing, he goes all out for this film. Yet, he fails to put up a convincing show, which I’m quite sure was not his fault. Asin looks stunning. From her newly-toned figure to her trendy styling and stunning make-up, the woman is a sight for sore eyes.

The story by Himmesh Reshammiya is a complex mix of innumerable films and it would be best if you don’t even judge it. Indeed, I’d like to believe he never intended to write a logical story or a telling tale. Direction is another field that the film lacks. While there is enough action in the beginning and in the end, the director seems to have get lost in the middle, where he resorts to mindless comedy and not-so-funny jokes.

If you are one of those who tries to make sense out of every movie, mind you, this is definitely not your kind of a film. The movie can only be fun if you leave your brains at home.

Rating    :  2.5/5
