Kick

Kick is a 2009 Indian Telugu-language vigilante action comedy film directed by Surender Reddy from a story by Vakkantham Vamsi. The film stars Ravi Teja, Ileana, and Shaam while Brahmanandam plays a supporting role. The film has music composed by Thaman S. Released on 8 May 2009, the film was a major commercial success. Many film analysts and trade circuits attributed the success of Kick being responsible for the revival of Telugu cinema in early 2009, following the "dry season" of box failures after the success of Arundhati at the beginning of the year. Kick was one of the highest-grossing Telugu films at the time of its release, collecting a distributor's share of ₹25-30 crore at the box office. It was the third highest-grossing Telugu film of 2009, behind the after mentioned Arundhati and the industry hit, Magadheera and was the highest-grossing film in Teja's career at that point up until Balupu in 2013.
