Plot

Shaina (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......

Cast

Production

Development

In 2009, Ravi Teja was first approached for the lead role in the Hindi remake of the movie.[citation needed] Producer Sajid Nadiadwala initially signed A. R. Murugadoss as the director,[4] but he was replaced by Shirish Kunder after Murugadoss was unable to direct the film.[5] Apart from Ileana D'Cruz,[6] who starred in the original 2009 film of the same name,[7] Deepika Padukone,[8] Anushka Sharma,[9][10] Sonakshi Sinha,[11] Priyanka Chopra,[12][13] and Angela Jonsson[14] were considered for the female lead. After much discussions, Jacqueline Fernandez was signed on to act in the film.[15] 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.[16] Chetan Bhagat eventually wrote the script for the film which is based on Vakkantham Vamsi's script.[17]

Principal photography

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.[5] The shooting of the film began on 27 July 2013 in Scotland,[18] where Khan shot a car crash scene and helicopter crash scene in Glasgow.[19] Shooting was also done in Delhi.[20] Some scenes were shot at Mehboob Studios in February 2014[21] and at the Film City studio in Mumbai.[21] In October 2013, while the shooting was in progress outside the city of Mumbai, the Film Studio Settings & 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.[22] The shooting of the movie Roy had to be postponed due to Fernandez's commitments to this movie.[23] Fernandez started learning the Urdu language specifically for the film with a coach who was hired by Khan.[24] 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.[25] He required hospitalization.[25] The film's climax was shot in Poland.[26] Khan wanted to shoot part of the film in United Kingdom, but he was refused a visa by the authorities.[27]

Marketing

The teaser poster was released on 9 June.[17] Khan had decided to release the theatrical trailer of the film in a single screen theater called Gaiety Galaxy, in Mumbai with his fans on 15 June because he considers single screens lucky.[28] The trailer became the most-liked Indian film trailer on YouTube with nearly 100,000 likes earned. It is also among the most-watched Indian film-related videos alongside the promos of Krrish 3 and Dhoom 3. The video earned more than 16 million views in a month.[29][30]

Soundtrack

Untitled

The soundtrack was composed by Himesh Reshammiya, Meet Bros Anjjan and Yo Yo Honey Singh.
