Black and White in Kill Dil

Kill Dil is a story about two friends played by Ranveer Singh and Ali Zafar. In the film, both Ranveer Singh and Ali Zafar have been shown favouring a particular colour.

From the promos and songs of the film that we have seen uptil now, we can see that Ranveer is largely wearing white, while Ali Zafar is wearing black.

In many scenes, Ranveer and Ali have worn the exact same attire but in the colour they favour. In the title track, Ranveer has worn a white lungi and vest while Ali has worn a black lungi and vest.

So we thought that the colours were reflective of their characters or would have something to do with their attitudes and characteristics.

But when we inquired around, we realized it was more fun than intellectual. Apparently, both of them were fooling around with their stylists when they were deciding on the outfits and clothes.

In fact, Ranveer and Ali decided between themselves which colour they would wear. Ranveer chose white, while Ali chose black for their respective characters.

From the promos, Ranveer’s character looks mischevious and bubbly whereas Ali’s character looks darker and more sobre and serious.

Yash Raj Films’ Kill Dil is an action packed masala entertainer filled with romance and thrill, directed by Shaad Ali.

Holiday – Hindi film review

A Soldier Is Never Off Duty

Rating: ***

Holiday begins with a weak introduction where a family is waiting at the station for the hero to return home from his posting at the front. A train load of soldiers arrives and out hops Captain Virat Bakshi (Akshay Kumar), an army man who is back home to Mumbai for his holidays. 

The heroine part in the story is out of place, a caricature of a Mumbai Police Sub Inspector has become a norm of the day, all this to project that the hero was larger than life.

Holiday has a hackneyed humour. In fact it comes out intentionally in the climax when the terrorist exulting the mastermind to just finish the game.

Akshay Kumar does his part well. It is difficult to find out flaws in his performance. Sonakshi Sinha isn’t given much to perform. Aackruti Nagpal makes her impressive comeback as Sonakshi Sinha’s sister. Debutant Freddy Daruwala leaves a mark.

The film pays a tribute to Indian Army’s fearless and courageous soldiers who even when not on duty, are dedicated and ever willing to sacrifice their lives for their motherland. And that’s it nothing more.
