Himanshu, sworn by his uniform to catch Devil, follows him to Poland where he meets his childhood friend Shaina (Jaqueline Fernandez). Himanshu finds out that Shaina had an eccentric boyfriend who broke her heart. What he didn’t know was that Shaina’s ex-boyfriend and the thorn in his side, were the same person – Devil.
This situation played well for Devil as he carries out his robbery plan amidst cat and mouse chase and Shaina’s sizzling dance number.
Kick has a decent story and well-written screenplay. Being a debutant director, Nadiadwala did a stunning job giving each talented actor enough space, lines and camera time to perform.

Kick, isn’t just about Salman Khan, it also has Randeep Hooda, Mithun Chakraborty, Sanjay Mishra, Saurabh Shukla, Nawazuddin Siddiqui and Archana Puran Singh. Bringing a cast together that can easily overshadow each other, and still managing to keep their roles in proportion, is something that needs great skill – and by doing that, Nadiadwala has proved to be a competent director.
Shot in Mumbai and Poland, Kick has some decent sights to see. Action sequences are well executed and thorough. As compared to 2013 Dhoom 3 of same genre, Kick’s stunts are more genuine and convincing. Sizzling dance numbers add extra oomph to the movie.

With a much fresh and younger look, Salman Khan seems determined to impress his fans.
Randeep Hooda – unimpressed by Khan’s presence – took control of every scene where they appeared together. The good thing is that both stars are given equal camera time.
But who is the real hero? Is it Salman, who plays bold and arrogant Devil? Or Randeep, a good, smart cop, who is also wise and courageous and ready to accept any challenge?
Lets leave that for you to decide.

Jacqueline proved her role isn’t just to fill the gaps. Sanjay Mishra played a short role of a dumb policeman, yet stole the show from Salman Khan. Saurabh Shukla, Mithun Chakraborty and Archana Puran Singh all had smalls role, which they played really well.
Nawazuddin Siddiqui, with his evil chuckle and low morals, is the real devil of the movie.
The film has well-placed humour and some quirky dialogues like,“Eid aa rahi hai, aur wo apni Eidi lene zaroor aayega” and
“Mere baare mein ziada mat sochna, dil mein aata hoon, samajh mein nahi", which make it a fun watch.
“Mere baare mein ziada mat sochna, dil mein aata hoon, samajh mein nahi", which make it a fun watch.
