Kisaan

Kissan starring the Brothers Khan Arbaaz and Sohail is an old fashioned family melodrama modeled loosely on Manoj Kumar's Upkaar. While that film, which focused on a clash of values between two brothers, one city-educated the other a rustic hand, was relevant and progressive for its times, this one is ultimately a vendetta film based on a similar premise, but with a central conflict that's embarrassingly archaic. Sickle-happy Jigar (played by Sohail) and his city-slick brother Aman (played by Arbaaz) find themselves on opposite sides of the fence when a smarmy businessman tries to divide the family so he can succeed in convincing their father (played by Jackie Shroff) into selling his ancestral land. What follows are a series of silly misunderstandings, one too many blood-soaked fight scenes, too much unintentional humor, and eventually a convenient, all-too-familiar resolution. With a plot that's predictable, and a screenplay as original as an Anu Malik tune, Kissan is an ordeal to sit through because it's reminiscent of those outdated '80s potboilers that you thought you'd seen the last of. Oddly, the film comes with the muddled message that violence is the answer to violence and that education breeds unhealthy ambition. Burning issues like farmers' suicides and oppression by corrupt zamindars are only fleetingly mentioned, never adequately addressed in Kissan which shamelessly describes itself as a tribute to the farmer, and even goes so far as to end with a Daler Mehndi-remix video of the popular Mere desh ki dharti number from Upkaar. Because the acting is uniformly uninspired, and the direction mostly flat, and because this film doesn't even have its heart in the right place.Watch it at your own risk.

Sohail Khan and Arbaaz Khan been in the industry for sometime yet failed to make a place for themselves and both are still struggling This film is thankfully not the usual nonsense comedy mostly made by Sohail Khan productions or his films

The film however is outdated and reminds of old Dilip Kumar and Manoj Kumar type films

The treatment is no different and the film ends up being a routine social drama

Direction is ordinary Music is nothing great

Jackie gets a meatiest role and does a good job Sohail and Arbaaz are average Dia is ordinary

its a good one,it impacts the life of a kisaan(farmer),their lifestyle and so on.Sohail Khan does a marvellous job as a farmer and a pure punjabi munda(boy).Arbaaz Khan acts as Sohail Khan brother acts as a lawyer.Jackie Shroff acts as their father.What u will like in the plot was the acting of Sohail Khan.As a true Indian he always kept his honour of his father(Jackie Shroff) in the film.Once his father gets slapped by a villager,on receiving the news he just roused and replied perfectly by cutting the hand of the man who slapped him.Though Diya Mirza acting was not much in the film,but her role was amazing."Great Job" .

When i sat down to watch Kisaan, i didn't expect a lot, but what i got was a very old style movie which takes me back about 10 years. we don't have movies like this any more.

Sohail Khan plays a brilliant role this is the best i have ever seen him act. Arbaaz Khan plays his role quite well. Dia Mirza gives the movie a certain look with her beauty. Nauheed Cyrusi, this is the first time i have seen her and she looks very sweet and simple. the songs are also very good.

Overall this is a good solid movie which i would suggest to watch if you want to be reminded what kind of movies used to be made back in the days.

I had zero expectations before watching this movie but it turned out good. The story is good but could have been better. In terms of acting both Sohail and Arbaaz didn't act upto the mark but still they are 100 times better actors than the expressionless Arjun Kapoor.
