Story

 Kalyan (Ravi Teja) is a kind of guy who prefers a life full of thrills than leading a regular life style. He seeks kick in whatever he does. He finds liking in Naina (Ileana). They separate due to differences. Krishna (Shyam) is a young cop who is in lookout for a big ticket thief who happens to be Kalyan. Meanwhile, Naina agrees for an engagement with Krishna. The rest of the story is all about how Kalyan wins back his lady love and the real intent behind the robberies of Kalyan.

Artists Performance:-

Ravi Teja is known for entertainment and he made sure that he contributed a lot for this movie with his kind of antics. He also mimicked many actors like Amitabh Bachchan in an entertaining way. You can see lot of similarities between Ravi Teja’s character in this movie and Pawan Kalyan’s character in Jalsa.

Ileana and others:-

Ileana is looking fresh and pretty in this movie. Shyam is perfect as a sincere cop who is set out to nab the robber. Brahmanandam did another entertaining role of Halwa Raj.

Analysis: The movie starts off with an entertaining first half though there is not much of a story. The movie lacks pace in the second half and do appear prolonged at times. But a purposeful flashback and an entertaining climax makes up for it. The plus points of the film are Ravi Teja, Ileana and comedy. On the flip side, the runtime of the movie is excessive and the sophistication/finesse expected out of such big projects is missing. On a whole, Kick is like a poor man’s Dhoom stuffed with ample Ravi Teja kind of comedy.
