Karzzzz

Bad cinema can almost always be expected from Satish Kaushik and if you are to watch any of them, might as well gather your friends so that you can enjoy poking fun at the trashiness. 'Karzzzzzz' is trashy cinema alright but it's not among the worst to come out this year. Most of it is unintentionally funny and it is just plain silly. Himesh Reshmi is quite bad (but he's not the worst actor around). His wig is quite amusing. His voice is not. He plays the reincarnation of Ravi (played by B-grade actor Dino Morea). Urmila Matondkar makes the best of her one-dimensional Kamini. It's good to see her in a full-fledged villainess role again. If only it were in a better movie. The makeup department does a good job in making the old Kamini look like a plastic beauty with hints of aging compared to the young babe of 1976. I still don't understand why an actress of her calbire would pick such projects. If you're only going to do a film or two per year, might as well pick something worthwhile. Though I can see why she would choose the role as it is an interesting part it's just that the film is too bad for one to take notice of acting. That Shweta Kumar has nice eyes (certainly better looking than Khansika Potwani). The other cast members are forgettable. The abysmal songs deserve to be skipped and that's what I did. Overall, this is a terrible film but it's awfulness does induce some laughter.

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.

Why was this film made? Was it really necessary to make a lifeless and plodding remake of Subhash Ghai's film when 'Om Shanti Om' had already done so, and that too in a completely refreshing manner. Anyway, doubters can rejoice. The film is as bad as feared. It's basically a wannabe star vehicle for singer Himesh Reshammiya. Unfortunately he is a very bad actor and stands and pouts while delivering his lines. Urmila is wasted in a role made famous by Simi Garewal. Even the soundtrack is surprisingly dull with Himesh's voice not up to the task. Avoid!

Overall 1/10

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!

So finally RGV take a breather for Karz with Zzzz is here to displace him from the top spot.

HR:: Disappointing considering there should be improvement in performance after Aap Ka Suroor.

Urmila:: Performance-wise I never regarded highly of Simi but after watching the new Kamini, hats off to the Simi. Urmila even if you have to get "on-your-fours" to return to RGV camp, do it!

Shweta Kumar is hopeless. Even Danny & Gulshan Grover is below the par. Rohini Hattangadi was alright. Dino Morea was hardly there. Raj Babbar & Himani Shivpuri track was unwarranted.

There was no point of messing with the original and develop the half- baked "HR-Urmila" track. I presume they decided to copy something from the original's original Peter Proud.

Music:: Thanks to the diversion, the quality is deteriorating big time. Hardly there is a number which can be called as HR-class.

Satish Kaushik:: You are better off making frame-to-frame copies of South-Indian to Bollywood and perhaps you should have done the same for Karz to Karzzzz.
