Khiladi follows the story of a murder suspect involved in a money laundering case. The story is designed to be a mass masala entertainer but it turns out to be a patchy affair without any punch. The screenplay is again a mixed bag. One of the issues which I am lately beginning to observe in the massy films is the element of comedy. While a multi-genre film is fine but the element of comedy always seems forced and infact cringy too. That is what formulates a majority of the first half, some cringy comedy scenes which could have been done without. The drama also pretends to be smarter than it actually is. There are many loopholes through the first half which ends with an unexpected twist, but if you look closely there is no logic to it. While the first half did have my attention moderately, the second half nose dives to a level beyond my patience. It is just a collection of scenes which are carelessly pieced together. There is just zinch excitement or even a moderate hold on the writing. Absolutely random things begin to happen in the name of entertainment. After a point I was just waiting for the film to end while going through the motions. To top it, this was a PAN India film. Good God Gracious! What a poorly written screenplay.
