Hello friends ..I really do not understand why this movie flopped ..Although it had some deviations from the main theme ,The storyline and the theme is very good ..
All praises for rahman's music..Let me give the plot of the movie in my way.
'Kisna' is a love story of a different kind! The visuals, the songs, and background score add to its charm and make it special. The songs are superbly picturised.
Although it is a love story, it is refreshingly different and well handled by director Subhash Ghai.
A lot of effort has gone in making this movie ..It was heavily publicised. The film scores in all these areas.
A young Indian, Kisna (Vivek Oberoi), defies his family and protects a British girl, Catherine (Antonia Bernath), who is also his childhood friend, from an enraged mob of pseudo-nationalists. Catherine happens to be the young daughter of a ruthless British Deputy Commissioner (Michael Maloney). The Indians attack the Commissioner's house and Kisna takes it upon himself to save Catherine from their clutches.
Then comes what I think is the reson fo movie to flop ..The Kisna adventure ,which is more stressed upon than their love ..
Supported by his mother and his gita he tries to play the Arjuna of bollywood trying to succesfuly reach her to the British High Commission in New Delhi, but he has to face opposition from his evil uncle (Amrish Puri) witha weird eye, elder brother Shankar (Yashpal Sharma) and a scheming, lusty prince, Raghuraj .
He is already engaged to Laxmi (Isha Sharvani) who is a great dancer . But this escape journey embarked upon by Kisna and Katherine slow down the pace of the film. The film can become more interesting if this bit is made crisp.
Sushmita sen after guest appearance in Yaadein ,appears here also ,though this part was not needed .You cant leave that superb song and excellent choreography ..This is the best part of the movie I liked.
Excellent Cinematography and nice ending ..
The Ending part I would not discuss ,Go see the film and make it a hit.
