[tps_footer]Kick is perhaps the most awaited film of this year. After Jai Ho’s dull show, all eyes are on Salman Khan’s next release which has got his favourite Eid date. From the look of it, the film seems interesting with amazing stunts on display. But we did notice a strange resemblance of the film with the Dhoom series. Why we say so? Let us clear the confusion here.

Kick is about a ‘shatir chor’ or a clever thief who robs bank installations and he does so under disguises. Isn’t that similar to Dhoom 2? Hrithik Roshan, the suave and the best looking thief in Indian cinema, also specialized in looting under guises. Perhaps it can also be safely deduced that Salman or Devil in Kick uses his mask as an identification mark. Hrithik used to do the same.

Also, the robbing banks can be credited to Dhoom 3 where Aamir Khan is shown unleashing his revenge on a bank after it refuses to go lenient on his father who was failing on payments. There too Aamir is seen climbing down a building while running. In one of the scenes from Kick’s trailer, Salman can be seen jumping out of a window which looks like a corporate installation.

If you remember the train sequence in the trailer, you will notice that although the vehicles are different, it is very similar to Aamir’s stunt in Dhoom 3. Salman jumps off his cycle while crossing a railway junction with a train racing towards him and casually walks it off just in time. You remember Aamir’s stunt in Dhoom 3? He just slides under a truck just in time to save his head from getting squashed by a vehicle.

Too many similarities? That’s exactly what we are saying.
