KIKK REVIEW’s

Hi,

   Yesterday I have watched KIKK. But I do not have time to write…but one thing I can tell you i.e.  It 's  a family entertainer like " Bommarillu".  Director  shows very well abt human relations and how ego 's changed life's of couples. It is well suited for couple's(lovers, married). It's a worth watching movie.

    Just find the review's from different sites.

Review

Story Siddhardh is a playful youngster with no emotions. His parents get separated in his childhood and he stays with his mother. He falls in love with Geeta (Tamanna) who comes to Hyderabad from a village. When she introduces him to her father (Nassar) he says the he would give the hand of his daughter to him if Siddhardh unites his parents. The rest of the story is all about how Siddhardh unites his parents (Ramya Krishna and Prakash Raj). Artists Performance Siddhardh is lovable in the role of a youngster. His emotions in the drinking scene are nice. His costumes suited him well. Tamanna is good as the girl who is torn between her father and her lover. Prakash Raj got lot of dignity to the role of father character he portrayed. He is excellent. There is a scene in which he acts like Robert Di Nero by saying 'Aren't you proud of me?' three times (There is a famous 'are you talking to me?' episode in Taxi Driver film). Nassar is fair. Ramya Krishna is just ok in the role of doting mother with an attitude. Karuna and Samrat are adequate as buddies. Brahmanandam is good in most of the scenes (especially when he listens to 'yeem' in phone during Geetanjali spoof episode). Venu Madhav is good though his comedy is of mass type. Technical departments Story: Story of the film is nicely divided into two parts. The first half is about two youngsters falling it love and hence it is targeted to the youth. The interval block is about heroine's father putting a condition. The second half is about the couple uniting the parents of hero which is targeted towards the family crowds. The whole film is based on the point that Prakash Raj and Ramya Krishna are separated. The reasons for the separation are not effectively established in the film. Hence the basic foundation of the entire film appears flimsy. Screenplay – direction: Screenplay of the film is adequate. Direction of the film is good in parts. The narration is very slow. The director did well in second half while handling emotional scenes. But he could not get it right when it comes to the romance aspect in the first half. He should be commended the way he integrated the songs into the film. The thread of 'crossing marks on the people you dislike' ('flushing the photo in toilet' from Jab We Met?) is interesting. Vankai curry thread is also good. The characterizations should have been more consistent. Both Siddhardh and Tamanna characters in second half behave little amateurish from the scene when they quarrel about Geeta's surname. Other departments: Songs scored by Shankar Ehsaan Loy are excellent and they are picturized well and placement is perfect. Songs are so good that they dominated the story narration in the film. Lyrics by Sirivennela and Chandrabose are good. Mani Sharma's background score is nice in the second half. Cinematography by Vijay C Chakravarthy is excellent. Dialogues by Abburi Ravi are neat in the second half. There are sentiment-oriented dialogues like 'Evarikaina problem vaste amma nanna daggaraku veltaru. Amma nanne problem aithe?' and Trivikramish lines like 'nenu kaalu tho break veyyaledu, jaalitho break vesa' (Brahmanandam). Editing by Srikar Prasad is adequate. Producer Nallamalupu Bujji should be commended for trusting his technicians and making this film with high technical standards. Analysis: First half of the film is average. Second half has got emotional content. The plus points are excellent songs and emotions in second half. The negative point of the film is slow-paced narration (2:50 hours runtime). The scenes towards climax appear prolonged. On a whole, KIKK is an okay film that is targeted towards family crowds. KIKK is not a film for the morning show crowds. It is more targeted towards second show crowds (family crowds).

The packaging is good. Siddharth, Tamanna, Prakashraj and Ramya Krishna. A debutante director, a new-age production design and music by Shankar-Eshaan-Loy. A one-line sweet and simple concept. It could have well been another Bommarillu. Alas. The concept, though sweet and simple, is not new. Without the novelty factor, the direction which is neither lacklustre nor note-worthy puts the movie right in the middle ground here. The movie goes about on it's own pace, with it's own set of comic scenes and characters, used at the right times and places. Story picks up in the second half..clean, family..entertainment? Possibly. Or not.

Plot Siddhartha is a flirtatious young man into whose life walks in Geeta, her father's pet. Siddhu's parents have separated more than a decade ago and this is an issue with Geeta's father when they confess their love towards each other to him. How Siddhu will overcome this problem and unite his parents for his own union with Geeta is the storyline.

Story, Screenplay and Direction Siddhu's character starts off with an interesting wave of incidents, where he is an unapologetic flirt. Then there is a sob story about how he has no tears anymore because his parents separated when he was just a kid. Then he sheds one single drop of tear for Geeta, and knows that it's love. They fight, they make up and he changes for her. He teaches his father 'about love'. Ramya Krishna lives the stern single-mother life, where she walked out of a few years old marriage because her husband doesn't spend time with her.

There are those 'cute' touches to a movie such as this. Still, those lack what we call 'punch'. Brahmanandam is cricket-crazy Gacchibowli Diwakar. Geeta teaches Siddhu's mother to cross her estranged husband's photograph to relieve herself of anger. The concepts in themselves are not uninteresting, but the presentation is imperfect. Not to mention underplayed at the wrong times. The background score could have been better too. The writing, direction and editing are all not bad in themselves, but they do not come together in this movie. They somehow don't make one whole wherein you can see where the movie has it's heart, it's soul and it's brain. Together.

Overall, what you have to say is sometimes immaterial and it's all about how you say it. What the maker had to say is actually quite nice. How it's been said-considering the production scale-is a little more upbeat than a short flick or a small-budgeted no-star movie. The conflict is given and the solution is thought of immediately and the progress starts off to a shaky beginning only to get predictable in 20 seconds flat.

Performances Siddhartha playing his namesake has become slightly monotonous, but carries the movie along pretty well. He fits the role, looks fit and very presentable, dances happily and romances with a flourish. Tamanna pairs nicely with him and does her whole huffing and puffing act of Happy Days all over again, with decent results. Prakashraj adds his brand to the role, Ramya Krishna's dubbing should have been better. Venumadhav and Brahmanandam add in the comic element smoothly. Nassar makes an impression.

Music and Choreography The music and dance is good, and Siddhartha entertains in all the songs. Two of the songs are especially fun, including Evade Subrahmanyam. Background is inconsistent. Re-recording is not at its best, even though the tunes are catchy.

Last Word An okay one-time watch, but only Konchem nice and cute and Konchem routine and repetitive.
