Voxitype Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

Erica Derrick By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

Rexanne It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny

Dana An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

yuvrajwaraich I don't understand why there are many average about this movie. It has good humour, music and storyline. Govinda And Ali Zafar have done good job.

Akshat Sheth Story: Dev (Ranveer Singh) and Tutu (Ali Zafar) work as Bhaiyaji's (Govinda) henchmen. Picked by him from a garbage bin, the two are loyal dogs of the goon who has bred them to do his dirty job. Killing with flair is their job and the two are quite ecstatic about their profession until Dev meets Disha (Parineeti Chopra). An upmarket, Delhi social worker, who doesn't shy from being blunt, Dev falls in irrevocably in love.Stuck between the sinister world of Bhaiyaji and the beautiful world of Disha, Dev ends up lying to both and leading a dual life. All hell breaks loose, when both find out about his other reality. Will Dev give up crime for love or will loyalty towards Bhaiyaji's weigh heavier?Performances: Ranveer Singh is endearing and lovable. You thoroughly enjoy watching him because he puts too much of his impromptu self in making Dev his own. Dev, despite being an ordinarily written, seen-too- many-times-before sort of character, Ranveer adds his own touch of sincerity to the role.Parineeti Chopra is great in her role. This wasn't exactly her film but in the romantic lead opposite Ranveer, there is an unusual, watchable chemistry between the two. I, somehow, go expecting Hasee Toh Phasee from her every time. I am a victim of my own expectations when it comes to her.Ali Zafar cannot act. He is a total mis-fit in this movie.Govinda is amazing. Well, I agree that the guy's caliber is put to good use but there is too little of him in the film. Somehow, his part in the story could have been much longer. It would have been interesting to watch him and Ranveer squabbling more like that intense, momentous 8 minute monologue. Such sparks are rare in the film.Direction & Screenplay: Shaad Ali's long sabbatical since Jhoom Barabar Jhoom did help him. But he still isn't his best. I have no idea why was the film's climax so hurried, warped and abrupt. I didn't even see it coming. It's not just the climax, but the whole film is not clear about what it has set out to achieve. Is it a musical or a crime drama or a thriller or a romance? It's a bit of all of these and yet, none wholesome enough to pull through the audiences' attention for two hours. The delight of the humor used too is sparse. I hope it was intentional to have Alok Nath play the kind insurance company honcho and have a picture of Nirupa Roy in the background with her hapless face. It made me laugh thoroughly. Besides this the LOL and ROFL investigations did not seem funny to me. While, the music of the film is good, there is too much of it. It comes at every other cue and kills the simmering intensity of the film's drama.The last word: Kill Dil is a badly made film. With such sincere actors, the film lacks a distinct soul, killing it's intensity scene by scene, frame by frame by adding frills. Despite good performances by Ranveer and Govinda, the film is a victim of bad writing more than a bad story, and wobbly direction which couldn't guide the ship right. I am going with 2/10. Had the climax been a little meatier, I wouldn't hold the film in such low opinion.

user-171-41245 Bollywood needs some original ideas of its own, rather than borrowing 20-year-old concepts from the United States, if it wants to be a serious competitor in any real market.Kill Dil, a movie about assassins, tries to compensate for its real lack of a plot by adding over- the-top cinematic sequences and Bollywood A-list actors. As India struggles to find an identity that will suit the younger and more socially liberal generation, Bollywood aims to balance modernized notions such as open affection and a playboy lifestyle with traditional ideals, and finds its niche as it has so many times before, in what films used to look like in the mid 90's.What would have been the saving grace for Kill Dil would have been an original plot that, as so many blockbuster movies have done, deviated from stale concepts to provide a fresh perspective on what should be an exciting profession.

sethdarshan The only saving grace in the movie was Govinda, but he was just wasted in the movie. No clue why did he choose to be in the movie (apart from the money part). He was suppose to play a dark character, but it seems the writers and director didn't did their homework properly, and wasted an actor like Govinda, whose sheer presence is just needed to give a desired push upwards. The songs were coming as if there is nothing else to show in the movie. Every 15-20 mins there is a song... Pari, Ali and Ranveer played their part nicely. When would Indian film makers stop taking us for ride and will make some meaningful cinema. Please avoid the movie, if you guys can.
