Super Flop Khiladi

Warning: Spoilers
This was the last Khiladi of Akki after the last two disaster Khiladi's. The movie tries to be a thriller but ends up as a badly made thriller. The story is all about crime, death, action, gangsters, and debt. Akki is hired by Alok and he gets married to Alok's daughter ad Alok dies in murder. After this, Akki solves all the problems dispit being a negative character and there are many twists. Akki does good in his negative role but overacts frequently. Mamta just shouts and annoys with her done to death arguments with Akki. The villains are all annoying and basically typecast. The direction is okay at times but very rough mostly. The script is good but the direction and acting ruins it. Akki was considered a bad actor in the late 90's but after Janwaar and Sangharsh, he made his back to back hits comback. These kind of movies ruined him and his career. The movie is another disaster in the 2000 and another typical Hindi movie. Overall, another movie that was a disaster from the early 20's.

This was the last KHILADI film The first was superhit KHILADI(1992), then SABSE BADA KHILADI(1996) and KHILADIYON KA KHILADI(1996) which worked and then disasters like MRS AND MRS KHILADI(1997) and INTERNATIONAL KHILADI(1999) followed
This film is a supposedly action based thriller on the shades of BAAZIGAR, DON but sadly comes across as a poor film
The film starts off badly with an out of shape Mahima running around playing with a kid and her prank with newcomer Sudanshu Pandey falls flat but as soon as Akki enters the frame things improve and the film keeps you on the edge till Alok Nath is murdered The entire Akshay- Mahima confrontation at the interval which leads to a murky twist is badly handled Also the second half follows the typical Hindi formula where romance and comedy dominates and the villains just pop in and out The court scenes are a put off and amateurish also the ending is too sudden
Direction by Neeraj Vohra is okay in parts only but has a long way to go Music is good
Akshay does well in a negative role after AFLATOON(where he played a dual role too) but tends to overdo it too often In the other role he is good but nothing great because he did it before Mahima shreiks and annoys with her voice and overactive acting Sudhanshu Pandey is adequate in a small role Mukesh Rishi is as usual Gulshan Grover, Sayaji Shinde pop in for one scene and then are forgotten Alok Nath is okay Antra Mali is decent

Khiladi 420 is the 7th installment in the Khiladi series. Like most of the previous Khiladi movies, Khiladi 420 is an Action- Thriller. It is directed by Neeraj Vora and stars Akshay Kumar, Akshay Kumar (double- role) and Mahima Choudhary.
The movie is about Dev (Akshay), who is a con- man and owes a lot of money to some gangsters. He hatches a plan to get all the money from Shyam Prasad (Alok Nath) and Ritu (Mahima). He manages to kill Shyam after he finds out Dev's true colors and tries to kill Ritu as well after she finds out the truth. Surprisingly, Dev has also written a suicide letter for himself. Ritu manages to kill Dev and run away. However, she later sees Dev again at home without any wounds and injuries.
The movie has some twists and turns which keep you glued to the movie. However, some of the scenes are dragged and get boring. The songs are OK. Direction by Neeraj is fine but can be better. The script is good. The camera- work is not that good.
Mahima Choudhary is fine. Alok Nath is good. The goons are fine. The main hero of the movie is Akshay Kumar. He performs both the negative and positive roles brilliantly. The other best thing about the movie is its stunts. Khiladi 420 has one of the best and most dangerous stunts ever seen in Bollywood. Keep your eyes open for the plan stunt.

It was fantastic. His action movies are so good. He can really fight. It was confusing bc I couldn't tell which one was which. I figured it out. The action scenes when he jumped from the plane and car was good. When he was fighting in the air ballon that was good too.
Decent action thriller totally ruined by ridiculous stunts

The story was nothing original, but it was sufficient to make this into a decent action-thriller. But the insane amounts of totally unnecessary and completely absurd stunts turned this movie into total garbage.
Just because Akshay is known for his stunts does not mean that the filmmakers have to cram every ridiculous stunt that they can think of into the movie. The final chase scene is cringeworthy.
The acting by pretty much everyone is either sub-par or outright bad. Akshay is the only one who does a good job in his negative role. But even then he tends to sway more into comedy than villainy. The "good Akshay" is overly good, to the point of being annoying. He talks and behaves like some overly-saintly mythological hero.
