‘Kick’ is a vintage Salman-Khan movie, one that unapologetically glorifies his every move, muscle and mannerism. Whether it’s being masked and taking on the “devil”, or being smitten by an absolutely gorgeous Jacqueline Fernandez, he’s just “being Salman”.
He’s a man who will live in your heart, but one who can’t be comprehended, we are told, an essence that’s lost in translation but one that cleverly sums up the incoherent mess of a movie ‘Kick’ turns into.

KICK has the magnificence [in terms of production values] that was lacking in Salman's previous movies. This is a big ticket movie and Sajid, who has produced larger-than-life extravaganzas in the past, makes sure every frame appears luminous, tasteful and eye-catching. Be it the spectacular locales of Warsaw or the classy sets, the DoP [Ayananka Bose] acts as an aide and encapsulates the plush, up market look with competence. The spectator also gets an international feel during the high-octane stunts, action and chases, which garnish the goings-on magnificently. The train stunt is already the talk of town. Also, the chase in Warsaw, with Salman driving a bus, makes you gasp in disbelief.

Kick comprises all the histrionics that come with a Salman Khan film — action, comedy, romance and melodrama.
Kick maybe Sajid Nadiadwala’s directorial debut and the remake of a Telugu film, but like all Khan movies, this is set to break box office records as trade pundits are predicting going beyond the Rs300 million mark.

Kick isn’t a pile-on, on Salman’s harebrained repertoire. Luckily, it has the thrill in its action parts and the fuzziness in its romantic ones. Salman sinks his teeth in a character that is a blend of his best roles, delivering a film that is a welcome change from his regular formulaic potboilers. Nawazuddin’s performance upped the bar of mainstream villain by manifolds and Jacqueline’s chemistry with Khan is sexy. Kick is no Ek Tha Tiger but it is an effectively enjoyable film that crackles enough to gives us bang for our buck! Kick isn’t kickass but gives a delicious rush.

This is a film that is never short of surprises. The mixture of the real and the reel gambols through a maze of confidently executed episodes. Not all of them work, though.
The film LOOKS and feels right. Kick is super-slick but never in a show-offy way. It is an out and out Salman vehicle but there is room for other interesting characters .
This Eid, go dance with the Devil.

Kick, therefore, is the Dhoom 2 of the Salmaniverse. It looks good, moves fast, shows off its superstar. In the world of harebrained Bhai films — Dabanng included — Kick is the best made and the most fun. If you’re a fan, you just hit the jackpot.

One expects the extraordinary from Kick only when Nawazuddin is on the screen. It is unfortunate for both the film and the audience that he isn’t on the screen often enough or long enough.
Kick provides a kick only sporadically. For Salman Khan fans, that should be good enough.

Seen purely in the context of its genre, Kick is an entertainer worth a couple of hours of your time on the weekend; more so if you seriously take to his dialogue 'dil main ata hoon, samajh main nahi'. The film is endearing in bits, but rational? We'll let you decide.

Rating:1.5/5 Review By:Suhani Singh Site:India Today

Kick may as well be a sequel to Salman Khan's attempt to clean up his image which began earlier this year with Jai Ho.
There are resonances of Dhoom 3 with action sequences unfolding in a foreign setting and one even culminating with a face-off between the cop and thief on a bridge. That the film concludes with signs of a sequel is not reassuring.

Kick’ is not just complete paisa vasool for Salman Khan fans, it is actually awesome to see that actors like Randeep Hooda and Nawazuddin Siddique get such meaty roles in a Khan film.

What makes ‘Kick’ interesting, apart from some unfettered Salman moments, is Siddiqui in full flow. His villainy is very Bollywood, with a trademark evil laugh, but self-aware and vivid at the same time : there are scenes he steals from everyone, including, sacrilege, from the Khan, even though the latter gets to throw away one of the most famous lines in movie history, with a wink : you talking to me?
Everything else is as it should be. Fernandez is made to play a psychiatrist just so Bhai can call her Psycho. Ha ha. We know she is a doctor because she wears thick framed-spectacles, which she chucks to a side to execute a perfect eye-popping shimmy shake.Hooda is watchable, as he almost always is, but he needed better scenes. The rest of the cast just does its job—of bringing up the rear.

Salman Khan looks good and does what's expected out of him. He lights up the frame and keeps you entertained with his performance. Jacqueline Fernandez's role is well written and she puts in sincere effort and delivers a superb performance. Randeep Hooda is good too but the best performance in Kick is by Nawazuddin Siddiqui. His talent perfectly used by Nadiadwala and weaved very well with the plot. He has the best lines and undoubtedly is the best actor of the lot.
For Salman Khan fans, it's a great show but for others it's going to be an average affair.
Because the front end is dominated by Salman the Khan. Devi or Devil, same difference.

If you look really closely, you'll notice that the new Salman Khan starrer Kick is fashioned as a mirror to his own life. Directed by Sajid Nadiadwala, this is a movie on a mission. A mission to whitewash the actor's controversial personal image, and to reinforce the notion that he may be a bad boy, but he's got a heart of gold.

To be fair, despite its problems, Kick is an improvement on most films the actor has starred in recently. It's neither as tacky as Jai Ho, nor as plain lazy as Ready and Bodyguard. There are some moments of inspired humor, like a clever role-reversal in a meet-the-parents situation between Devi and Shaina's father (Saurabh Shukla). It's slickly shot (by Ayananka Bose) and the soundtrack (by Himesh Reshammiya) has a few hummable hits. But it's also the most fun you've seen Salman having on screen lately.
