a5c7b9f00b Two friends wage bets for money and fun. There comes a time where they race to win the biggest bet, for they know that their lives depend on it. Raj, Boney, Neelam and Sheetal are college friends, Raj and Boney always bet with each other and Raj wins it all the time, one day Raj and Boney bet with Neelam and Sheetal that they would prank on Sheetal&#39;s father Kailashnath that she is being kidnapped and would ask for money in return the day Kailashnath pays panics due to safety of his daughter and pays them the money, Raj and Boney give good news to Neelam but when they go inside the house to share good news with Sheetal they find that Sheetal is brutally murdered by someone. I&#39;d heard a lot about &#39;Khiladi&#39; and was interested in watching it. The director duo Abbas Mastan are known for making thrillers and unfortunately, for ripping off. I don&#39;t know whether &#39;Khiladi&#39; itself is a ripoff. It is a very Bollywood film and on top of that from the early 90s (so expect some strange dances, out of place songs and weird fashion) but otherwise quite well directed to an extent. They successfully manage to hide the identity of the killer and it does comea surprise when revealed.<br/><br/>If it were made today, I think it would have been better in the technical department. Other than that, the film starts in a college campus with funny comedy (but some of them are really over the top). The songs are nice but they seem forced in the screenplay, which was the case in many Hindi films of that era.<br/><br/>Akshay Kumar does well. He&#39;s very good with the comedy scenes. Deepak Tijori is brilliantstands out in most of his scenes. His and Akshay&#39;s camaraderie is shown with a touch of humour but in a realistic way. As a newcomer, Sabeeha does well. However, Ayesha Jhulka is strictly okay in most scenes and doesn&#39;t deliver in others.<br/><br/>I&#39;d say it&#39;s one of the better films of it&#39;s timeit&#39;s quite enjoyable but it ain&#39;t no masterpiece. Enjoy it for the funny moments, nice songs (most of which are horribly picturized) and to solve the mystery of who the killer is! This movie is a direct lift from KHEL KHEL MEIN (1975)<br/><br/>The movie starts in college campus with some over-the-top comedy scenes like most were in that era<br/><br/>Four college friends namely Raj, Boney, Neelam and Sheetal play a prank on one of their friend Sheetal&#39;s dad&#39; but tragedy strikes when Sheetal is killed and the guys become the prime suspects They get rid of all the evidences but discover a conspiracy surrounding the Sheetal&#39;s death<br/><br/>The direction and the music are both good Akshay Kumar started his Khiladi persona which was followed by 7 other films 80% of which were hit <br/><br/>The film&#39;s climax is quite entertaining If it were made today it would be better in the technical department<br/><br/>Akshay Kumar impresses in this film after the early crap he had done Ayesha Julka looks quite cute and does well with Akshay Deepak Tijori plays Akshay&#39;s friend and his chemistry with Akshay is top-notch Sabeeha does well The supporting cast plays their role to perfection
