Over the top drama. Khiladi is brainless in many ways. Director Abbas Mastan pull off an unconvincing whodunit which is neither thrilling nor captivating. To begin with,the film has some genuine moments,but they are inconsistent.Ayesha Jhulka brings some sweet presence on the screen, Dipak Tijori does a average job, could have been much better in this supporting character which lacks writting and sharp dialogue,its forgettable that actors like Prem Chopra And Tinnu Ananad are wasted,while Shakti Kapoor tries hard to come out of his comfort zone and mostly succeeds. Film's most salvaged and well written character comes from Akshay Kumar,and he does well. Though it could have been better too. Too many needless jokes make this film a brainless-satire. Humor is strictly bad. What is good is music, though many songs make this film lengthy. Akshay Kumar's kicks and brisk action aside, khud ko kya samajti hai song and try-worthy-of-applaud on a subject that has never been touched, khiladi is sporadically watchable and largely forgettable. Though it could have been much better as it already has got a meat-plot that involves college pranks turning into a disaster. This film too soon loses its pace. So its average and below the mark movie. I'll recommend some better movies, Watch it if you love Akshay Kumar, as i do.
