Cycle Kick Hindi Movie

Cycle Kick doesn't even qualify to be released. It is extremely immature and should best be avoided. Jun 16, 2011 By Mansha Rastogi

Call it either an expensive promotion of the renowned filmmaker institute Whistling Woods International or an honest push to upcoming apparent talent, Subhash Ghai founder of the institute seems to be releasing the works of its students back to back. Last week saw a feeble release of Love Express. Though the film failed at the box-office miserably, Ghai this week again releases another Whistling Woods wonder Cycle Kick.

The film tells the story of how a small necessity like cycle can become a very big crucial thing. Ramu and his younger brother Deva live in the coastal village and are very poor need a cycle to make life easier and solve a lot of money. They do find a beaten up cycle, repair it and life does start looking up but soon thereafter the cycle gets stolen. The thief is Ali who considers cycle to be status symbol. The film jumps from here to a very tangent topic of football and how cycle or the fight for it brings the two boys Ramu and Ali together to fight up against a bunch of rich brats in a game of football.

Cycle Kick is one of the most immature works to release off late. Not only is the setting awry, the plot of the film seems to have totally gone for a toss. How from the fight for the cycle does the film graduate to the football match is totally inexplicable. The only thing that seems genuine in the film is the simple complexities of the lives of rural people and the noble intent in the content.

One surely cannot ignore the fact that the film has been made by students of a filmmaking institute but that doesn't come as a reason for shoddiness. Not only is the print bad, the dubbing is very shabby so much so that there are dialogues even when there's no lip movement. Even if you ignore the technicality there are major flaws in the storyline that jumps from one topic to another with no relevance whatsoever. Even the romantic angles are handled very immaturely. There seems only one background tune that runs behind repeatedly.

The actors are taut and need to loosen up a lot. Ishita Sharma who got a dream debut opposite Fardeen Khan in the multi-starrer Dulha Mil Gaya seems to have deteriorated with time. First of all she barely had anything to do and she badly performs even at that. Tom Alter gets wasted.

On the whole, Cycle Kick doesn't even qualify to be released. It is extremely immature and should best be avoided.
