Karzzzz

That's the name of a restaurant close to my place that I was intending to try. After watching this movie and listening to a song titled 'Tandoori Nights' in this movie, I have decided not to. I am not even sure I will look at tandoori food the same way again. Please avoid this movie at all cost if you want to keep enjoying tandoori chicken, tandoori prawns, tandoori malai kabob, and other tandoori items.

I am normally quite tolerant when it comes to movies but this movie tried my patience to no end.

Given my affection for the original Karz, I was a tad apprehensive about giving it a chance, which was why I put it off for a good number of years. After hearing Himesh Reshammiya's version of Ek Hasina Thi I was swayed and decided to give it a shot. The song had such a haunting quality and was frankly surprised by how good it was. Sadly the song is the only decent thing about this movie.

Honestly I am surprised how Satish Kaushik could make such an amateur movie, I wouldn't expect this kind of movie from a film student let alone a veteran director. This movie is a failure in almost every department. Honestly it's worse than a B Grade movie.

The performances from the leads, Himesh and Shweta Kumar (daughter of director Indra Kumar) are two of the worst performances I have seen in any movie. Himesh somehow managed to bag a few more movies but Shweta only managed to star in her dad's Super Nani after this. Even seasoned pros like Urmila and Raj Babbar ham it up really badly. I was surprised at Urmila particularly because I thought she did well in the Ek Hasina Thi number, her expressions during the song were spot on. Although I never expected to measure upto Simi Garewal, I expected better from her.

It was embarrassing to see Gulshan Grover slumming it in a thankless role.

Some very poor choices have been said throughout this movie, like for instance in the scene where Himesh goes to see Asrani to know the whereabouts of Ravi Verma's family and for some inexplicable reason mid conversation it shifts to a comedy track and then goes serious again. What should have been a good dramatic moment is ruined completely.

Another disappointment was that apart of Ek Hasina thi, there are no other good songs in this movie.

Given the classic status of the original, the people involved should at least have done a half decent job so that it does justice to the former.

When Karzzz should have been thrilling and suspenseful, it evokes no other reaction for me other than sheer disdain for all the people involved in the making of this movie.

Seeing the end result must have been a real slap in the face for Subhash Ghai and everyone else involved with the original. I would love to hear their reactions to the atrocity that is Karzzz.

In my opinion it is up there with such Hollywood atrocities like Batman and Robin and Superman 4: A Quest for Peace.

OK rant over, thank you for listening.

Truly awful remake starring Himesh Reshammiya, who cannot dance or sing well enough to make the musical numbers a success and does not have the acting ability to carry a film of this type. I never believed he was a famous rock star that made girls faint, and the fact the he shaves and waxes his chest to the point of leaving little scars is just kind of creepy (why would they feature that with all the open collar and unbuttoned shirts?).

Some of the locations are beautiful, however and a few members of the cast do not struggle with their roles. There is some rather corny "injected humor" (the guy constantly talking about his daughters and efforts to marry them off) that doesn't come off well.

Overall, was very disappointing.

Himesh Reshammiya is back with Karzzz and yet again as a Music Director, Singer and the main actor. In future he will be back as camera man, director, producer & even light man anyways this is truly awful movie, complete waste of time. As a singer in this movie he will be mostly well known for his god-awful nasal twang and 2) his fake wig! It looks as if he bought that wig from some cheap discount store in Bombay, Quite a deadly combo don't you think. However jokes apart. His nasal twang has become familiar in every household of India, is all set to torment the in this film Karzzzz. Watching Aap Ka Suroor was the biggest punishment and now he's in this movie again. If you are one of many, who think Himesh Reshammiya looks funny with his cap on then check him out without cap in this movie Karzzzz. I bet you will fall off your chair laughing. .

Talking about his music his lyricist won't have to do a lot of computer work. When he's writing the lyrics on his computer, he can just write 'auuuuuu' or 'owwww' and then Ctrl+c and Ctrl+V it wherever fillers are required. Except for the a,e,i,o,u keys on his computer, the rest of the keys must be a little dusty. He came in a movie 'Aap ka suroor - the movi'ee'....that's how its spelt and now in Karzzzz I don't get it why they added 4 z's at last? to add more emotions or what ?? I do not know whether he uses pathetic instruments or what but u just consider the opening music of the song "Lut Jaaon Lut Jaaon" its such a crap I mean it defines the word crap. Some argue that Himesh has had several hits but when he sings then it's like a car coming to a screeching halt. Terrible comparison there? He sounds loud, nasal, sometimes feels like crying while singing and other times makes you wonder why is he singing. God gave us nose for breathing not for singing and I personally think he is friend of Osama....he also torture innocent people and himesh also torture innocent people. Only difference is that himesh torture with his songs.... USA has taken action on Osama but we can't take any action against him...only we could do that just close your ears by your hands....Personally I look for music that has a certain amount of shelf-life. Unfortunately none of his albums have a good shelf-life of say beyond a month. If I have to go and buy an album, I'd much rather prefer an AR Rehman to Himesh Reshammiya. If you reading this himesh then concentrate on your music only and take some classes from AR Rehman or else stop giving music.

Actually himesh should change his profession because singing is not the bed of roses..

Bad acting, some terrible dialogue, and it drags for close to THREE HOURS...this film should be an embarrassment to anyone and everyone involved with it. I mean, the plot, which is a ridiculous one involving reincarnation anyway, is diluted by too many sub-plots and useless characters that make the film delve to never seen before depths of awfulness. Bollywood directors really need to understand that a sane, reasonably educated and informed individual can NOT buy the crap comedy, done-to-death dialogues and mothers who behave ABNORMALLY! This is clearly a badly made film with bad actors, but the lead actor really takes the cake for I've never seen a person carry a single expression through an entire film! As for the ladies, they are worse. The music is terrible with most songs sounding like horrible spin offs of Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan compositions.

This film is not even worth the celluloid it was shot on, forget about your price of admission!
