Kil Dil doesn’t have weight or enduring value. But while it lasts, Shaad makes sure you’re having a good time.Read full review

…while one understands the logic of keeping overdrawn emotions in check, a little more elaborate climax would have given a better kick. Watch it for the pleasure of watching two goofballs, Ranveer Singh and Govinda, together.Read full review3.0
Mayank Shekhar | The W14
The title is borrowed from Quentin Tarantino’s Kill Bill. That homage somewhat plays out in the background score sometimes. I suspect Indian filmmakers’ intense love for Tarantino comes from their shared fondness for kitsch. In that sense you’re unlikely to get a finer kitsch-di than this.Read full review3.0

By Bollywood standards, the movie has enough fodder to hook and book you to your seats for two hours. Three stars for `Kill Dil`! And if you are a movie-buff then go home humming `kakakakaka ..Kill Kill….dadada Dill Dil…`!Read full review3.0

If you enjoy killer dialogues and silly jokes, Kill/Dil is the perfect movie for the weekend. Otherwise, you can give this one a miss.Read full review2.5

There’s not a lot of praise one can heap on ‘Kill Dil’ except to say that it’s not an unwatchable film. The first hour goes by briskly, and you’ll even find yourself smiling along. If that’s enough for you, give it a shot. I’m going with two stars for the film, and additional half star for Ranveer Singh’s terrific performance, which makes it two-and-a-half out of five for ‘Kill Dil’.Read full review

Meena Iyer | Times of India
There is enough pizzazz to divert you from the cliched plot. It is certainly a step up from Shaad’s last disastrous outing, Jhoom Barabar Jhoom (2007). And what makes this film watchable is the effortless chemistry between Ranveer and Ali. Their poker-faced humour, jibes at one another and ability to break into a song are impressive. Supported by some corny dialogues — like pigs must always eat shit and never attempt to taste gulkand (a sweet preserve of rose petals used in paan) – they draw laughs as quickly as they draw out their weapons.Read full review2.5
Subhash K Jha | SKJBollywoodNews
I have to admit Kill/Dil is a smaller disaster than Gunday.Ranveer who played one of the two buddies in the earlier films as well, is far more entertaining here. He’s still way over the top.But here he is hammy in a pleasant way. Trouble starts and the killings for him end, when Ranveer’s character Dev falls in love with the neighbourhood femme fatale, a weirdly freelancing heiress played by the forciblyglammed-up Parineeti Chopra, who seems to have her hands in every single pie that she can lay her manicured fingers on.Read full review2.5
Rahul Desai | Mumbai Mirror
Kill/Dil is eventually the kind of lightweight effort watchable not for its content, but because you see the makers enjoying themselves. We admire the way they laugh, not the joke they laugh at. That said, more is expected of director Shaadi Ali (Saathiya), and perhaps this is just the rusty beginning of his comeback.Read full review2.5
Sonia Chopra | Sify
For the cast, and a few interesting moments, and the stylistic treatment (that often goes overboard), this one’s an ok watch. That’s if you’re up for a cliched story packaged a little differently.Read full review2.5

Kill Dil doesn’t offer any riveting twists, but you don’t feel like putting a bullet to your head at the end of it either. Watch it if you love Singh and his nervous energy.Read full review

Suparna Sharma | Deccan Chronicle
‘Kill/Dil’ flirts with the idea of having rotten men as its lead pair. It even seems to enjoy their bloody bonhomie. But it chickens out. What a shame! And what a waste! Imagine if Yash Chopra had chickened out and made Vijay sign up to become an LIC agent?Read full review2.0
Sweta Kaushal | Hindustan Times
The predictable and cliched closing of the story notwithstanding, the film might still be worth a watch, simply for Govinda and Ranveer. Add to that the fun-filled dialogues and you will most likely enjoy the experience.Read full review

Mohar Basu | Koimoi
Kill Dil is not a bad film, it’s a badly made film. With such sincere actors, the film lacks a distinct soul, killing it’s intensity scene by scene, frame by frame by adding frills. Despite good performances by Ranveer and Govinda, the film is a victim of bad writing more than a bad story, and wobbly direction which couldn’t guide the ship right. I am going with 2 stars. Had the climax been a little meatier, I wouldn’t hold the film in such low opinion.Read full review2.0

Story lines like Kill Dil had started losing their charm 30+ years ago. I am still not able to get over the fact that Shaad Ali and team, couldn’t add one new angle to make it look like a product for and by the next generation.Read full review2.0
Sachin Chatte | The Navhind Times
Initially the film opens on a decent note but very quickly goes downhill and never recovers. The plot has neither any logic nor sense or conviction. Even though Govinda tries his vintage act, the character of Bhaiyyaji is the weakest of them all. Not that the others are any better.Read full review1.5

Shubhra Gupta | Indian Express
This has steadily and sadly become a Yashraj trademark, the studio that has given Hindi cinema so many of its beloved landmarks, this cannibalizing bits and pieces of its own films without being able to give us a story we can believe in. It’s one thing to have an element or two which is exaggerated, it’s completely another to get through a full film with such few credible moments.Read full reviewNR

End of the day, this is a classic case of could-have-been. KillDil had the potential. Sadly, the director could find singularity in his vision. It’ll be a surprise if anyone remembers this movie in the days to come.Read full reviewNR

Kill/Dil is terrible in places, but unfortunately it doesn’t come down to the unintentionally funny, disaster zone like Shaad Ali’s previous effort, Jhoom Barabar Jhoom.Read full reviewNR

Kill/Dil is an amalgam of Hindi film clichés, the most obvious being the orphans, set to uninspired gimmicks. A waste of a Govinda comeback.Read full reviewNR

IndiaTvNews Reviewer | IndiaTvNews
Now, don’t be fooled by its deja-vu premise. Kill Dil has innovation with its altered screenplay and execution. Yes, the logics take a back seat here but not to an extent that spoils the flow. The director mostly uses the dialogues and his character, the blend of which helps in making this movie entertaining.Read full reviewNR

My review of Kill Dil (2014) by bangreaayushi
jyothimathur, 9 years agoMixing and matching!The movie is all about ‘Mix and match concepts’. The film has been derived from many stories and has been combined to form a single story. The film starts with the introduction of Dev (Ranveer Singh) and Tutu(Ali Zafar). They are termed as the two ‘haramis’ working together for an underworld gig, 'Godfather'Bhaiyaaji (Govinda). He picked them from the dustbin and is now feeding them with shelter and food. The two grows under his surveillance and turn out to be two goons working with him as professional killers. Then in Dev’s life enters Disha who is a dancer. Dev saves her in a night club and after few meetings, both of them fall in love for each other. Dev hides his real identity and decides to give up all his criminal activities only for Disha. Tutu who helps him in getting him a MBA degree by illegal means helps Dev. Yet the story reveals much more after this with Disha coming to know of Dev’s real identity. She decides to leave him and even Dev’s godfather decides to kill him. Now there comes a twist in the story and the story is taken ahead. The story catches your attention in the first half but somewhere, it is boring in the second half. Talking about the performances, Ranveer and Ali have perfectly suited in the ‘so-called haramis’ shoes. Govinda as a godfather had done justice with the character. The audiences saw a different side of Parineeti this time. She had blunted herself in the glamorous avtar. But, this is not what Parineeti can do. She should think of reinventing herself the next time. The perfect love chemistry between Ranveer and Parineeti is good but on the way, you really cannot expect more than this. The film’s quality script is not upto that mark. You feel compacted with the direction of the film. The songs of the film are outstanding with great efforts by Mahadevan, Ehsaan and Loy leaves you speechless. The film’s dialogues have been strong and there is nothing more matching your expectations. -
