Warning: Spoilers
Akshay Kumar debuted from the flop Saugandh, he then moved to disaster Mr.Bond and flop Deedar. Akki was desperately in need of a good film which did happen.Khiladi(1992 Player) was Akki's first successful film. It went on to become a super hit at the box office. The story is something new for a movie during the 90's. The director duo Abbas-Mustan is famous for making thrillers and movies with twists. The story is extremely well told. Akki enters the movie with a comedy scene where he plays a prank on a normal citizen and his brother catches him. He is then seen in college and all those scenes in the first half reminds you of the fantastic college type scenes during the start to interval of the movie. But, before the interval happens the friend dies and the police is hot on trail of whoever was the killer. The direction is top class and the screenplay is good. The killer is successfully hidden until the end where he is caught. The movie is more of a romantic drama with bits of comedy and bits of action. Overall, its a masala movie with all genres except horror. The acting is good, Khiladi Kumar proves he can act after his earlier craps. Deepak Tijori is average, the heroines are good. The villain is good, the others are all good. Overall, Khiladi is another successful and entertaining flick which worked in those days and it will not disappoint today's people. It can be seen a million times for fans and others. It is definitely worth a watch more than 10 times.

Final Verdict: 9/10 not full because of Deepak Tijori(no offence he can't act)
