‘DD Returns’ film overview: A restrained Santhanam and a hilarious third act save this template horror comedy

With this supposedly wonderful joke, this Santhanam starrer kicks off. And goes nowhere. For, in 124 minutes, this comedy takes many characters, places them in pointless conditions, and makes jokes about them that nobody actually cares about.

So, what’s Kick about?

It’s in regards to the battle between two advert businesses, with a complete lot of characters going berserk with dialogue and costume. The protagonist is Santhosh (Santhanam), who is meant to be an advert filmmaker who succeeds utilizing devious means. That is peeving a number of different advert businesses which might be vying for purchasers. Can the entry of Shivani (Tanya), an advert skilled, change issues round?

Kick is primarily a couple of case of Santhosh posing as somebody he’s not. However how, expensive director, did you assume that the picture of Kovai Sarala carrying a wig, blingy garments and screeching would elicit laughter? Or Thambi Ramiah dressed like a bandmaster and at all times dancing, considering he’s Michael Jackson? And oh, there’s additionally Brahmanandam taking part in a scientist. He goes into a rest room and somebody thinks he’s getting into a time machine!

If the jokes in Kick are juvenile and yawn-inducing, the songs, particularly their picturisation, and the motion sequences aren’t any completely different. Why do makers should insert motion sequences needlessly into what they assume has nice parts of comedy? And even throw in parts of romance and song-dance sequences after they very nicely know that the hero’s USP is humorous one-liners?
