Since having become a fan of the cinematic offerings of composer Himesh Reshammiya from viewing his wonderfully stupid and trashy "bio-pic" debut Aap Kaa Surroor:The Moviee-The Real Luv Story,that along with showing that Reshammiya (who plays a character called Himesh "HR" Rashammiya) could keep his trademark cap on during a bare knuckle prison fight (!),also allowed Himesh to show a more decent side,by having his character fall in love for a 15 year old girl.
With being caught by surprise,that for this movie "HR" had been given the chance to come up with the story line for the first film in the "Khiladi" series for a number of years,I began to become very interested in seeing what Himesh's "unique" take to revive the Khiladi franchise would be.
The plot:
Feeling depress after getting thrown out of the family home by his dad,due to ruining his dad's fix wedding "business",Mansukh decides to go to a local shop,so that he can buy a bottle of cheap booze and get drunk for the rest of the night.As Mansuk drinks,a car comes speeding by,that leads to Mansuk losing his grip on the booze,and the bottle ending up crashing through the car window.Furiously getting out of the car,Mansuk soon discovers that the driver of the car was a woman called Indu,who tells him the she is going to tell her big brother about what he has done to her car.
To his horror,Mansuk quickly discovers that Indu's big brother,is in fact the city's leading mob boss:Tatya Tukaram Tendulkar.Desperate to find a way to get out of the punishment heading his way,Mansuk clutches at a conversation that Tatya has about being desperate to get his sister married.Using all of his charms to make Tatya agree to him sorting out an arrange marriage for his sister,Mansuk suddenly relies,that the only person he can arrange for her to get married to is a cop called Bhatter Singh.
View on the film:
Returning to the series for the first time since 2000's Khiladi 420,Akshay Kumar gives a pleasant,but extremely middle of the road performance as Bhatter Singh.Opening with a wire-work action scene poorly directed by Ashish R Mohan, (who shows all of Bhatter's fighting moves not connecting at all against any of the baddies) Kumar just about gets over the unbelievably fake looking action scenes,and also some hilariously bad lip syncing singing,by giving Singh a swagger that helps to give the movie some much needed extra sparks.
Despite now having six movies to his name,composer/co-writer/ (along with Bunty Rathore and Kushal Bakshi) producer/and actor Reshammiya shows the he can still give a performance that is more wooden than a Christmas Tree.Along with stretching the simplistic plot well beyond breaking point with a near 2 and a half hour running time,Rashammiya also gives the film plenty of unintentional Comedy gold,with the few "serious" scenes in the movie being ruined thanks to Himesh holding the same expression for the entire movie,and crying more like an annoying brat,who has no hope at all of ever becoming a future Khiladi (player).
