+++ RuineD RemakE +++. Review on Karzz

“Always be yourself, express yourself, have faith in yourself, do not you go out and look for a successful personality an duplicate it.”– I know its pretty late for Mr. Satish Kaushik to read this quote but you all can surely learn a lesson. I hate piracy and I never promote it … I wonder this industry where everyone from Big B to Kareena  is busy requesting to stop piracy why they themselves promote it. Before you ask for a “Oxford Dictionary” to understand the meaning of Piracy and show it to me, I would like to add that there is a big difference between an Inspiration and Copying and Bollywood even after several failed attempt never stops it. Not everybody can be as lucky as Barjatya and Bhansali’s of the world who got their share of “HAHK” and “Devdas” and trust me they where purely lucky to serve the old wine in a new bottle when people did not mind tasting any thing available on this mother earth.

Well coming out of the cribbers shoes which I comfortably wear and roam around throwing my opinions at peoples face. Let me tell you how I land repeatedly in such situations. Reason being my “not-so-good-behaviour” with people, sometime I do have to pay a price. That’s what happened when I requested a friend to buy me a ticket of “Hello” on the way back home and he purposely got me two tickets of “Karzzz” .

When I reach near the gate of Audi 1(PVR Bangalore) to my surprise I found a big group of college going lads & babe’s wearing cap’s..and waiting anxiously to enter the hall. The show begins and so does the non-stop hooting from the audience, I wondered if my taste has gone done or Gen X is going Insane. But as the movie progressed I realised that they are having a gala time mocking at Himesh.

Honestly I do not want to insult a classic movie like Karz with this one so I will talk about the movie without even insulting the people who were associated with the old ‘Karz’.

Casting/Performances:I wonder if the casting director was at some place where they serve cheap booze and he got liquored up that’s when he decided to choose “Himesh Reshamiya”for the role of Young Rock Star “Monty”. Urmila in the role of “Kamini” – the babe who killed “Monty’s” in his previous birth when he was “Ravi” (played by Dino) was pretty okay. Then again “Introducing” directly out of Ramsay Movie was “Shweta Kumar” in the role of “Monty’s” current Janam love interest was horrible. I would suggest “Casting Director to be a little generous to Himesh by choosing gals around his age, otherwise he might be behind bars soon for “Child Molestation” case (Check his records). Rest cast and crew included Gulson grover in his new get-up, Raj Babbarplaying Punjabi with nothing new and Rohoni Huttangadi in the role of Maa who can yell well at her son’s death and not to forget Danny/Asrani trying hard to put a smile on our face.  And some etc’ in the role of ‘Behan’ ‘Dost’ completely wasted.

Story -is no different from the earlier one but I do recollect “Himesh” claiming that “we have given a twist to the movie”. I think the only twist which I saw in the movie was “himesh” acting skills (Mind it I have no complains to his singing/composing talent). His acting brought tear in my eyes, as I could not control my laugh. The main plot of the movie was about love-betrayal-revenge and next birth.

Choreography – Sorry there wasn’t any to be spoken about.

Cinematography- after some point of time the locales looked fake as in they where shot in some studio (reminded me of the old movie). Locales claimed were Cape Town/Kenya – but I did hear some local resident there speaking “Maa Jee aap baith jaiye” in the movie (Gosh, Yeh public hai sab jaanti hai).

Editing – I wish movie would have been edited, edited wherever Himesh tried being emotional.

Wardrobe – Urmila’s was too good, she looked sexier than ever. Shweta’s clothes were okay. Special mention of those unbuttoned cleavage showing shirts of Himesh Hero.

Direction – Disappointing, shots were horrible and I wonder if satish was in a hurry to finish the movie else can he explain “when does a director say shot okay”. Whose responsibility was to make the actors act esp “Himesh” and “Shweta”.

Dialogues – Let me not mention these golden dialogues “Maa tujhe mera beta wapas karna hi hoga” – “Tumne mujhe dhoka diya” – “Kyaaaa Tumne mujhe behan kaha” – Blah Blah.

Music/Lyrics – Okay this was better esp one line which I am still humming is “tak tana na na na tandoori nights, tandoori nights, tandoori nights, – if loving you is wrong I don’t wanna be right”

Well now coming on to real dissection of the movie not becaz of Himesh, reason being the news and expectation behind it:

~~This movie has been sold to Reliance BIG Entertainment for distribution at Rs.350 million.

~~Himesh claims that this is his first movie as he has acted “himself” in his earlier movie “Aap ka Suroor”

~~Thirdly Himesh performance in this movie will decide his stardom for next five movies which are under production.

So let me talk about the transformed Himesh and his effect on me.  Himesh has lost weight and thanks to him I have decided not to loose weight at all else I might look like one joker with a ‘thin body and a big face’. Himesh also guided me well to spend money on the right alterations in body, I wonder if he wasn’t aware of liposuction. Himesh's hair transplant was so shocking to me but gave me a hope that I can still postpone my marriage and get the transplant done before it. He has kept the long hair look and ensured every inch of his head is covered, but how I wished his hair would have been longer than usual and could have covered his face while he tried to act with his poker-faced face. Out and out it’s a Himesh’s movie and he has indeed put a lot of effort in it, its just that those efforts are so visible that it might be nominated for ‘Oscar’s’ if there is any category called “effortful ruined remake”. 

Nothing can be a better ending line than a powerful dialogue of the movie:

“When you are lucky in love, you are unlucky at gambling”

So all the unlucky in love lads … lets go for gambling… in the meantime Himesh bhai shayad kuch aur try kar leh…!!

P.S:Dear God, I don't want another birth, as I wonder if Dino's next birth can be himesh (still a human) mine will surely be a CROW.

P.P.S:There are better ways of taking revenge than abusing aur hitting someone, be nice to your enemies buy them tickets for the movie "Karzzz"
