== Plot ==
'''''Kick''''' is a 2014 [[Bollywood|Hindi]] [[Action film|action]] [[thriller film|thriller]] film, directed and produced by [[Sajid Nadiadwala]] under the [[Nadiadwala Grandson Entertainment]] banner. The film features [[Salman Khan]] in the lead role, with [[Jacqueline Fernandez]], [[Randeep Hooda]] and [[Nawazuddin Siddiqui]] appearing in supporting roles. The film is a remake of the [[Telugu cinema|Telugu]] [[Kick (2009 film)|film of the same name]], with a screenplay adapted by Nadiadwala and [[Chetan Bhagat]].
Dr. Shaina Mehra is a [[psychiatrist]] living in [[Warsaw]], [[Poland]]. Her father Brijesh brings a marriage proposal and asks her to meet police officer Himanshu Tyagi, who is the son of a friend of Brijesh. The two meet in a train, where Shaina reveals she had an ex-boyfriend Devi Lal Singh, and talks about her crazy experiences with him. Devi is shown to be intelligent and adventurous, always looking for a ''kick'' in his life. Shaina was helping her friend, Vidhi elope with Devi's friend, Jignesh, when she met Devi in Delhi. After a long, hilarious chase, Devi got Vidhi and Jignesh married in a temple, but also helped Vidhi's mother reach the temple for a "kick". Shaina met Devi's family; the two began dating and fall in love. On her suggestion and getting ashamed from her father, Devi got a job in a chemical lab but resigned soon, suffering from the lack of a "kick". Devi tried hiding from Shaina that he is jobless again but she soon discovered it. Shaina scolded him for not being able to earn money, and Devi broke up with her and said that his new "kick" is now to earn money. She has since shifted to Warsaw, having to entertain Brijesh and his desire to see her married.


Himanshu shares his experiences with a thief he hates as he cannot stop him; the robber, ''Devil'', has been targeting the rich people associated with corrupt businessman Shiv Gajra, and is robbing them. Devil is actually Devi. As Himanshu fails in catching Devil, Devi contacts him and insults him by calling him a "loser", which is a clue that Devi gives Himanshu. While with Himanshu in Warsaw, Shaina spots Devi who is there for treatment after losing his memory in an accident. She offers to handle Devi's case, which was referred by Dr. Jayant Verma, and take him home. However, Devi is in fact faking his memory loss; his real plan is to befriend and fool Himanshu and rob Shiv, who will come to Poland. Devi enters a charity function and robs Shiv, but Himanshu and Shaina discover the truth and Devi is ultimately forced to drown himself. However, he escapes.
''Kick'' received mixed to positive reviews from critics and went on to perform well commercially, breaking several domestic box-office records. The film was declared a "Blockbuster" at the box office by [[Box Office India]] after its first week of release. The film went on to become the [[List of highest-grossing Bollywood films|second highest grossing Bollywood film]] of all time in India behind ''[[Dhoom 3]]'', and the [[List of highest-grossing Bollywood films|fourth highest-grossing Bollywood film]] worldwide.<ref>{{cite web|title=Classifications 2014 - BLOCKBUSTER At Last With KICK|url=http://www.boxofficeindia.com/Details/art_detail/classifications2014blockbusteratlastwithkick#.U-Ab9_ldXZ0|publisher=''Box Office India''|date=25 July 2014|accessdate=4 August 2014}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|title=Kick First Week Territorial Breakdown|url=http://www.boxofficeindia.com/Details/art_detail/kickfirstweekterritorialbreakdown#.U-AcJvldXZ1|publisher=''Box Office India''|date=4 August 2014|accessdate=4 August 2014}}</ref>


Devi's true intentions and good deeds are revealed by his father Ratan Lal in a flashback. He tells Shaina that Devi is committing robberies to help poor children who are battling diseases. Devi saved a girl, Jhumki after reading a letter in the hands of her dead parents, and got the most powerful ''kick'' when she smiled at him. When Dr. Verma told him that several such children are battling diseases, he decided to save them by robbing to get money for their treatments, knowing that it will give a lot of ''Kick''. Back in the present, Himanshu tracks Devi down to a bar in Delhi and warns him he will be killed if he robs again, but Devi says he will rob a huge party fund on 14 November. He dares Himanshu to kill him on the 14th, otherwise, Devi will be standing in front of him on 15 November and he won't be able to do anything.
==Plot==
Shaina ([[Jacqueline Fernandez|Jaqueline Fernandez]]) is a [[psychiatrist]] living in [[Poland]]. One day, her father brings a marriage proposal and asks her to meet Himanshu ([[Randeep Hooda]]). Himanshu and Shaina meet in a train, where Shaina reveals about her ex-boyfriend, Devi Lal Singh then she tells about her experience with him.
Devi Lal Singh ([[Salman Khan]]) is an adventurous youth, who is always looking for a 'Kick' or adventure in life. Due to his daredevil attitude, he never stays in one job for long. He has resigned from 32 companies as he feels the kick is missing. When Shaina first meets Devi, she is trying to help her friend elope with her lover. Devi rescues them both and helps her mother to follow them and reach the temple. When asked why, Devi replies, because of the kick. Shaina initially dislikes Devi because of his thrill seeking attitude. Later, when she realizes that Devi is a good hearted person, she starts to fall for him. Shaina and Devi decide to get married. On Shaina's suggestion, Devi accepts a job in a chemical lab, but he resigns in a few days after suffering again from lack of Kick. When Shaina hears about it, she breaks up with him. He also breaks up with her and moves away after telling her that he is going to get another job in which he won't suffer from lack of kick. Shaina leaves for Poland, where her parents live, and does not get seen by Devi for a year.
Himanshu, who is a police inspector, comes to Poland to catch a thief. The robber, called 'Devil', targets all the rich people associated with Shiv Gazra ([[Nawazuddin Siddiqui]]), a corrupt businessman, and robs them just for fun. The robber is none other than Devi. After Himanshu is unsuccessful in catching Devil, Devi contacts Himanshu and refers to him as "partner" and insults him by calling him a loser. He also hints where his next robbery will be, which brings Himanshu to Poland.
Meanwhile, Shaina spots Devi in Poland. He has come there for treatment after losing his memory in an accident. Shaina, who is a psychiatrist, offers to handle Devi's case and decides to take him home. It is later revealed that Devi is just bluffing. His real plan is to befriend and fool Himanshu and rob Shiv, who will be coming to Poland for a deal worth crores of rupees. Devi enters a charity function and robs Shiv, who was about to invest a huge amount of money in a foreign firm. During the robbery Himanshu and Shaina discover Devil's true identity. Devi escapes by jumping from a building and rides a bus. He is then chased by cops led by Himanshu. After a long chase many cops gets destroyed but he gets cornered by Himanshu with few cops, but he escapes by jumping off the bridge. Unfortunately the bus falls into the river, and the cash is destroyed in the process. Devi then celebrates his failure. Himanshu spots and warns him that if he tries to rob again he will be killed, but Devi challenges him by saying that he will rob a huge party fund worth 500 crore rupees. Devi's true intentions or good deeds are revealed by his father Lal Singh ([[Mithun Chakraborty]]), he tells Shaina with his flashback that his son is committing robberies to help poor children who are suffering from diseases and need lakhs of rupees for treatment. Devi once saved a girl named Jhumki by getting 20 lakhs in another way after getting a letter sent by her dead parents. When a doctor tells him that severals of children are suffering from diseases, he decides to save them by performing robberies in order to get the money after knowing that this will give him a lots of kick. Later, Devi (Making himself as Devil) goes to steal the party funds, only to find Shiv and his gang waiting for him. After a long fight with Shiv and his gang, Devi kills Shiv. He hands over all the money to his father. Himanshu gets ready with many officers to shoot Devi, but millions of kids block his way. It turns out that November 14 is Children's Day, and the children are going to pray to Devi and thank him for saving them. Himanshu realizes that all the robberies Devi did was actually for the kids. At the epilogue, Devi joins the police force and the home minister hands him Devil's case. He and Shaina get together once again in the end......


On 14 November, after fighting Shiv's henchmen and robbing the money, Devi kills him. Himanshu is set up with officers to shoot Devi, but several kids block his shot. Himanshu realizes the robberies were for the kids after a teacher informs him that the children are going to pray for their saviour and its Children's Day today. On 15 November, Devi joins the police force. He arrives at the police station and stands in front of Himanshu, who is unable to do anything about the situation, therefore completing his challenge.

Plot

Dr. Shaina Mehra is a psychiatrist living in Warsaw, Poland. Her father Brijesh brings a marriage proposal and asks her to meet police officer Himanshu Tyagi, who is the son of a friend of Brijesh. The two meet in a train, where Shaina reveals she had an ex-boyfriend Devi Lal Singh, and talks about her crazy experiences with him. Devi is shown to be intelligent and adventurous, always looking for a kick in his life. Shaina was helping her friend, Vidhi elope with Devi's friend, Jignesh, when she met Devi in Delhi. After a long, hilarious chase, Devi got Vidhi and Jignesh married in a temple, but also helped Vidhi's mother reach the temple for a "kick". Shaina met Devi's family; the two began dating and fall in love. On her suggestion and getting ashamed from her father, Devi got a job in a chemical lab but resigned soon, suffering from the lack of a "kick". Devi tried hiding from Shaina that he is jobless again but she soon discovered it. Shaina scolded him for not being able to earn money, and Devi broke up with her and said that his new "kick" is now to earn money. She has since shifted to Warsaw, having to entertain Brijesh and his desire to see her married.

Himanshu shares his experiences with a thief he hates as he cannot stop him; the robber, Devil, has been targeting the rich people associated with corrupt businessman Shiv Gajra, and is robbing them. Devil is actually Devi. As Himanshu fails in catching Devil, Devi contacts him and insults him by calling him a "loser", which is a clue that Devi gives Himanshu. While with Himanshu in Warsaw, Shaina spots Devi who is there for treatment after losing his memory in an accident. She offers to handle Devi's case, which was referred by Dr. Jayant Verma, and take him home. However, Devi is in fact faking his memory loss; his real plan is to befriend and fool Himanshu and rob Shiv, who will come to Poland. Devi enters a charity function and robs Shiv, but Himanshu and Shaina discover the truth and Devi is ultimately forced to drown himself. However, he escapes.

Devi's true intentions and good deeds are revealed by his father Ratan Lal in a flashback. He tells Shaina that Devi is committing robberies to help poor children who are battling diseases. Devi saved a girl, Jhumki after reading a letter in the hands of her dead parents, and got the most powerful kick when she smiled at him. When Dr. Verma told him that several such children are battling diseases, he decided to save them by robbing to get money for their treatments, knowing that it will give a lot of Kick. Back in the present, Himanshu tracks Devi down to a bar in Delhi and warns him he will be killed if he robs again, but Devi says he will rob a huge party fund on 14 November. He dares Himanshu to kill him on the 14th, otherwise, Devi will be standing in front of him on 15 November and he won't be able to do anything.

On 14 November, after fighting Shiv's henchmen and robbing the money, Devi kills him. Himanshu is set up with officers to shoot Devi, but several kids block his shot. Himanshu realizes the robberies were for the kids after a teacher informs him that the children are going to pray for their saviour and its Children's Day today. On 15 November, Devi joins the police force. He arrives at the police station and stands in front of Himanshu, who is unable to do anything about the situation, therefore completing his challenge. Himanshu is taken off of the case and it is given to Devi, who is now a police officer. Devi then thanks Himanshu, saying that he was never against him, but he is against the corrupt system.

Cast

Production

Development

Producer Sajid Nadiadwala initially signed A. R. Murugadoss as the director,[6] but he was replaced by Shirish Kunder after Murugadoss was unable to direct the film.[citation needed] Apart from Ileana D'Cruz,[7] who starred in the original 2009 film of the same name,[8] Deepika Padukone,[citation needed] Anushka Sharma,[9][10] Sonakshi Sinha,[11] Priyanka Chopra,[12] and Angela Jonsson[13] were considered for the female lead. After much discussions, Jacqueline Fernandez was signed on to act in the film.[14] US-based Abhijat Joshi, who had written the scripts for Munna Bhai M.B.B.S. and Lage Raho Munnabhai was approached to write the script in 2009. Nadiawala wanted the script to be prepared during the release of 3 Idiots, when Joshi had come back to India.[15] Chetan Bhagat eventually wrote the script for the film which is based on Vakkantham Vamsi's script.[16]

Principal photography

Palace of Culture and Science which was featured in the film.

Nadiadwala and his team visited South Korea in September 2011 at the invitation from the Korea Tourism Organization, and he signed an agreement to shoot portions of this project and others in that country.[citation needed] The shooting of the film began on 27 July 2013 in Scotland,[17] where Khan shot a car crash scene and helicopter crash scene in Glasgow.[18] Some scenes were shot at Mehboob Studios in February 2014[citation needed] In October 2013, while the shooting was in progress outside the city of Mumbai, the Film Studio Settings and Allied Mazdoor Union asked Sajid to pay them wages for one and a half shifts, which he refused. The workers stopped shooting for a week and only resumed when Sajid agreed to the worker's demands.[19] The shooting of the movie Roy had to be postponed due to Fernandez's commitments to this movie.[20] Fernandez started learning the Urdu language specifically for the film with a coach who was hired by Khan.[21] While shooting was underway in Mumbai in March 2014, Khan's body double, Ajay, was injured while shooting a stunt scene. He was supposed to jump from the first floor of a house onto a railway track, but went through the sugar glass, injuring his face.[22] He required hospitalization.[22]

The film's climax was shot in Poland at the Palace of Culture and Science in Warsaw.[23][24] Khan wanted to shoot part of the film in United Kingdom, but he was refused a visa by the authorities.[25] Umbrella (disambiguation).
