When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

Akshay Kumar is known as the biggest Khiladi(player) in Bollywood. Not only is he B Town's most bankable actor but some of his performances are just remarkable. However, just like any other actor, Kumar too has faced failures in his Bollywod career. Akshay Kumar however has faced a lot of failures but this never destroyed his hope. He always worked hard and success is what he achieved after loads of hard work. However, some of his films are the worst Bollywood films I've ever seen. Take Zakhmi Dil, Dil Ki Baazi for an example.International Khiladi is one of Akshay's Khiladi films which was his most successful franchise in the 90s. This series lifted him up from loads of box office failures in the 90s with the help of other hits and average hits in the 90s. This franchise continued but sadly, none of the Khiladi films after Khiladiyon Ka Khiladi(1996) did good. Mr and Mrs Khiladi was an box office flop, this film was a box office flop too and Khiladi 420 was a box office disaster. However, Khiladi 786 which released recently has proved to be a box office hit. This is certainly a revival to the series as it completely sank with 3 films in the 1997-2000 time period.International Khiladi isn't a completely awful film like many of Akshay's earlier B grade flops and mainstream duds. However, it is certainly one of his not so good films. The film is bad but not awful. The promos promised a decent well made thriller but the movie becomes anything but a well made thriller. The movie doesn't even come close to being as good as superior thrillers from this generation like Taalash. The thrill factor is missing and what we get is a clichéd and badly edited wannabe thriller movie.The story is done to death and there is no point narrating it as it will be the same thing as any Bollywood movie with cool stunts, some foreign localities, and some dialogs. However, the movie isn't entirely bad.The movie contains cool and fantastic stunts which none of the Masala films contain nowadays. The best part are some of the dialogs too, the film gets funny in the pre interval portions where Twinkle is trying hard to meet and interview Twinkle but is constantly failing.For the most part, the film is bad due to various reasons. The clichéd and poorly edited script brings the whole film down. Yes, I agree that most 90s films never had a good story but that doesn't mean make a horrible crap story and lap it all up together. There are so many predictable scenes that the movie becomes annoying to watch. The reason why Akshay became a don is poorly shown, the injustice done to his mother by his father is a good background element but the handling of this is quite poor. The movie again has a good idea of creating a thriller movie but the handling of the film brings the whole film down. The way the film is narrated is quite awful. What saves the film from being a completely awful film though is the performances.Akshay Kumar does his best as the don and even if he overacts in a few scenes, he does a good job as the don. Twinkle Khanna overacts for the most part but she has some good scenes like the comedy in the first half to an extent. Gulshan Grover is getting extremely typecast doing the same types of comical villain roles. Although a few of his dialogs like the DIL GARDEN GARDEN HO GAYA is funny. But, that dialog is repeated so much it gets annoying after the first few times. The rest provide average support. Music is average, the title song is awesome while the rest are fillers.On the whole, International Khiladi is a bad film at the most part. It has a few plus points like some performances, stylish action sequences but most of the film makes it a bad one. At the box office, the only thing it could do is get a good opening but the drop was huge and the film flopped ultimately.

After the success of KHILADI, KHILADIYON KA KHILADI and SBK Akshay returned with another KHILADI this time INTERNATIONAL KHILADI directed by Umesh Mehra who directed th last 2 KhiladisThis movie tries hard to be a thriller but ends up being a badly done one The film starts off well but stagnates when the entire lovey dovey part starts which is amateurish also the entire murder mystery is handled in a confusing manner which gets irritatingThe Gulshan Grover scenes too are tedious while many scenes suffer from bad SFX and stunts and the climax is laughableDirection is below average Music is okayAkshay looks better then his ape hair days in this film but he tries too hard to emote which shows otherwise he does a better job as the DON Twinkle annoys Rajat Bedi is awful here, he struggles to act Mukesh Khanna is typecast Gulshan Grover annoys Johny Lever is as usual

Hi, If u r a hard core Akshay fan like me,u cant miss this 1.Superb action,and good twist in the end marks this action film as akshay's one of the best action flicks in his career.Even Twinkle looks good in the movie.At the time of this release akshay was so popular as KHILADI that it got a huge opening in the first week.Akshay really looks terrific in the movie as a don.A must watch film for all akshay fans.It has some good songs in the film too. My favourite is the title song and it was really pulsating to see akshay dive from a plane from such a height.Akshay has always been performing his own stunts.He is one of the good looking heroes in our film industry.

I thought that International Khildai was an awesome movie! Of course it was all in Hindi and had no subtitles, but but after my friend explained some parts, I understood. It was a great, unintentional comedy! The acting wasn't so hot in it compared with American acting, but my friends and I still enjoyed watcing it thouroughly. A great movie....
