I had two choices that day - either go for 'Bajrangi Bhaijan' or 'Kick 2', and I chose because it was the latest release compared to the other and I thought it would be more fun, especially since the first film was great. How I regret that choice now! Such a wrong choice it turned out to be. I have no idea how I endured all that bullshit - I am particularly sad since I missed Bajrangi Bhaijan and missed Biriyani from EFLU mess (Chithra had called in between, I should have gone for Biriyani then and there) that day because of this hell (literal) of a movie. Surender Reddy, the director had said that the Hindi version of Kick lacks the 'Kick' (fun) element of the original Telugu version. Then, I don't know what to say of this abomination called Kick 2. If what he says is true, then Kick 2 is the lowest the movie franchise could go. There is no kick to it at all; the movie is not even the original character's story, it's his son's, who prefers 'comfort' rather than kick. 'Kick' had given me a kick watching, but this 'comfort' guy really made me uncomfortable. Ravi Teja gave a decent performance and so did the people who constituted the Bihar village that was shown(Rajpal Yadav was there), but all of was in vain, as the director chose to make some crap story anyway. Ravi Kishan played one of the most irritating villain's ever - he disturbed the hell out of me by his 'Son of God' crap! There was no commitment to the story or its direction - they just made a franchise for the sake of it and packed a lot of bullshit - as it is normally done for most sequels now. Grow up people! Stop taking audience for granted. Make something good or don't make unnecessary sequels - do not destroy the good name you had with crap like Kick 2 or Kilukkam Kilukilukkam.
