Chuckle n Forget it. Review on Khushi

Watching the madcap fun on screen makes you tend to forget that Khushi had no story at all.

Watching Kareena’s spunk, zest, enthusiasm and vast expanses of bare skin makes you tend to forget how jerky, exaggerated, over the top she has always been. This girl will never improve, yet we will never stop feasting our eyes on her. Watch her tell Fardeen, “Coffee pikay jao” at her father’s insistence. Killer style.

Watching Fardeen do some ridiculously dumb at the same time hilariously funny things, makes you tend to forget what an under average actor he has always been and continues being. Khushi is possibly the first movie in which the hero gets nearly raped, howl away with laughter at this childishly done sequence.

Watching Johny Lever do a rip-roaringly funny take-off on Asha Bhosale makes you tend to forget what a pesky irritant he otherwise is while taking of on Altaf Raja and Ricky Martin.

Watching the snazzy, va-va voom choreography of the upbeat songs by Anu Mallik makes you forget about all those repetitive dragging moments that infest Khushi.

‘Good Morning India’ is a tourist brochure for Amaar Shonaar Kolkaata. Whoever called it a dirty city?

‘Hai re Hai re’ is very well conceptualized and choreographed by Prabhu Deva, but has lousy special effects, and a lousier Hema Sardesai stressing every ‘Hai’

‘Tere Bina’ a swanky looking song choreographed by Ganesh Hegde on which producer Boney Kapoor reportedly spent a crore.

Story???

------------------------------------------------------------

Two young drop dead good-looking college-goers are hopelessly smitten by each other, but are too pig-headed and egoistic to admit to love. They have mighty issues with each other all the time (like watching her navel, smoking, breathing..the last one is the funniest) with Fardeen giving some horrendously funny recaps of each fight. They beat around the bush , hem ‘n’ haw for two and a half hours before finally admitting to each other and THAT’S IT. The credit to making this one-line story just a wee bit watchable goes to director Suryah.

------------------------------------------------------------

People who watch movies for an interesting plot will need to exercise tremendous patience while viewing this one. People who dislike both Kareena and Fardeen should enter any theatre showing Khushi at their own risk.

------------------------------------------------------------

Watching this highly stupid but immensely guffaw inducing movie makes one tend to forget that one had been given well-intentioned warnings not to see it by friends in and out of mouthshut. (Sorry folks, I finally saw it)

=======================================================

Hope this review doesn’t raise even some miniscule expectations, as Khushi won't meet any. Just gives you some mindless laughs on a dull Sunday afternoon. Period.
