Ensofter Overrated and overhyped

Reptileenbu Did you people see the same film I saw?

Hayden Kane There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

Mathilde the Guild Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

anthony_fernandes80 Akshay Kumar's first hit is also Abbas-Mustaan's first hit. And probably their best till date. A perfect mix of comedy, then romance, then a murder, drama, suspense, action and a super ending. It is almost impossible to predict who is the killer.The film has shades of the hit film from the 70s Khel Khel Mein, but manages to hold its own. Like that film, you have a college setup, a young star cast, youthful and popular songs, good dosage of comedy, romance and of course, difficult to crack suspense. Abbas-Mustaan have made many suspense thrillers since but this is their best according to me. In every department, the film stands tall, compared to their later works.Akshay Kumar did well in his role, a role which was almost tailor made for him. Ayesha Jhulka was at the peak of her career with films with Aamir, Salman, Akshay and she had signed a film with Shahrukh (which never released or had a limited release, Kisi Se Dil Laga Ke Dekho). She was decent in the film. Sabeeha had limited screen presence. Deepak Tihori managed to make his presence felt despite being relegated to the role of a supporting hero. Shakti Kapoor and Prem Chopra added value to the film as well.Music played a key role in the success of this film. Although Abbas-Mustaan had a successful musical run with Anu Malik in the 90s, Jatin-Lalit delivered a fab score with this film, which continues to remain popular till date, especially the romantic duet, Vaada Raha Sanam. For reasons best known to them, Abbas-Mustaan never repeated Jatin-Lalit, despite classic tunes. All the songs had melody and youth appeal and that's why the songs play on 20 years later.Overall Khiladi was truly suspense at its best. A thorough entertainer! It's a tad lengthy but worth the time.

gurdeepmann59 This movie is a direct lift from KHEL KHEL MEIN (1975)The movie starts in college campus with some over-the-top comedy scenes like most were in that eraFour college friends namely Raj, Boney, Neelam and Sheetal play a prank on one of their friend Sheetal's dad' but tragedy strikes when Sheetal is killed and the guys become the prime suspects They get rid of all the evidences but discover a conspiracy surrounding the Sheetal's deathThe direction and the music are both good Akshay Kumar started his Khiladi persona which was followed by 7 other films 80% of which were hit The film's climax is quite entertaining If it were made today it would be better in the technical departmentAkshay Kumar impresses in this film after the early crap he had done Ayesha Julka looks quite cute and does well with Akshay Deepak Tijori plays Akshay's friend and his chemistry with Akshay is top-notch Sabeeha does well The supporting cast plays their role to perfection

Liakot Ali Khiladi is a fantastic movie that entertains all the way with action, romance , comedy and suspense. This is the movie that gave Akshay Kumar his first step to stardom. Akshay got his nick name Khiladi King from this film. There went on to be many other khiladi named movies after this hit film. This Khiladi is the best no doubt on that as the other ones were poor. Akshay gives a good performance alongside Deepak Tijori. Ayesha Jhulka looks a little cute in this movie and does a good job. The supporting cast are good which include Shakti Kapoor and Johnny Lever. Abbas Mustan have directed this movie beautifully and this is one of their best films. I have seen this film 20 times and never get bored. Recommended to all people.

desiguy_usa This is my favourite Abbas Mustan movie and also their first hit.But it has shades of the old musical thriller "Khel Khel Mein" released way back in 1975.But this movie is good compared to its release in 1992 with good songs,comedy and action.Worth a watch....!!!! Also considering it was Akshay Kumars early movies with is weired hairstyle and dancing skills.Deepak Tijori was great as the friend. also notice Johnny lever in a comic role in his early movie.From this movie he became a regular with Abbas Mustan.Akshay and Ayesha became a good pair after this film.I was so excited to see the film when it was first released.
