Release Date:
December 07, 2012

Born to an owner of a marriage bureau Champak Lal, Mansukh has been a complete failure ever since he has grown up and tried to help his father in their family business. All the alliances he had tried to get done have resulted in separation even before the marriage took place.

To prove his worth to his father, he takes up an unusual challenge of getting an underworld don TT bhai's spoilt brat sister Indu getting married to a cop called Bahattar Singh aka Khiladi 786 in Punjab and to add more to his problems he convinces even TT bhai to pretend as a cop but little did the over enthusiast know that Bahattar Singh, his father Sattar Singh and his uncle Ikhattar Singh were not cops but a family of conmen. The story takes a shape as the two hardcore families of two different states pretend to be policemen in front of each other and the beans from each side can be spilled anytime which can be life threatening for Mansukh.

What follows is a roller-coaster ride filled with music, romance, comedy and power packed action!

The funny bits were rare and mostly unintentional

Hindustan Times

'Khiladi 786', with its pedestrian humour, inane plot, and hammy performances, begs the question: haven't we had enough?

In the end, I was left looking at a straw to clutch. Any little thing. I found, dear viewer, none. Not. A. One

Indian Express

In resorting to the trending but trite action-comedy genre, films like Khiladi 786 repeat everything from the shot-takings to the sidekicks to such extent that in some years it would become difficult to differentiate one film from the other

Times of India

Khiladi 786 tries blending Akshay's Rowdy Rathore swagger with his Housefull humour. It ends up in a nowhere-zone in between

This is the sort of film where even the characters have to be reminded of what happened to them three days ago by being shown a sepia-toned flashback

Firstpost

The comedy is crass, the acting borders on the slapstick, and the general air that hangs over the film is one of utter lunacy. The loudness is accentuated manifold by an ear-splitting background score

For those looking for some logic-less laughtime, groovy tunes topped with some todh-podh - this one could bring some action to your weekend

Times of India

The first half makes still for a decent watch while the second almost leaves you tired and disinterested

If zany amusement, wacky humor and over the top entertainers is what you enjoy, this one's for you
