Kishen Kanhaiya

This movie was amazing, from the star cast, to the plot, it is extremely underrated and a must watch for all!!!

Twin children separated at birth was first seen in RAM AUR SHYAM (1967) and SEETA AUR GEETA (1972) CHAALBAAZ (1989) took this trend further

Twin children are separated at birth. One is treated like a slave and is quiet silent, innocent and weak and the other is precocious, free-style and has freedom

There are shades of BETA (1992) where the step-mother hates Anil Kapoor, Anil Kapoor's Kishan and Kanhaiya characteristics have been taken from BETA as to how he is innocent and suddenly gets angry

At one point where Kanhaiya poses as Kishan, he talks to Amrish Puri in a Dev Anand style Wouldn't Amrish Puri have noticed

Anil Kapoor does well in his role and is used to these dual roles Shilpa Shirodkar is really good Madhuri Dixit is bubbly and funny Amrish Puri reminds you of KARAN ARJUN (1995) Dalip Tahil is usual Ranjeet is typecast Saeed Jaffery is usual

Kishan Kanhaiyah is a Bollywood Masala Movie. It contains the usual Romance, Comedy, Action and Family Drama. I think this is Anil Kapoor's Finest Work. Anil Kapoor has made many great films such as Parinda, Hifazat, Ram Lakhan, Khel and Tezaab. The female leads were Madhuri Dixit who is no doubt one of Blooywood Best Actresses of the late 80s and 90s. She delivers a comic performance that entertains. The other female lead was the very sexy Shilpa Shirodkar in a more serious role. She does a good job of it. Kishan Kanhaiyah tells the story of two twin brothers, separated at birth. If one gets hurt, the other feels the pain. The movie does have many exciting scenes. It was directed by Rakesh Roshan. The Man behind Great Movies like Khudgarz, Khel, Karan Arjun, Koyla and Koi Mil gaya. This is Rakesh Roshan's simply Best film he has made. Absolute Delight, Highly recommended.

Whenever I watch this movie, I enjoy it as much as I did the first time I saw it. Along with Madhuri and Anil's strong acting, it is emotional along with comedy. If seen, it has the same story as Sita aur Geeta and Chalbaaz movies, but it is more fun to watch Kishan Kanhaiya. Rakesh Roshan great director and very good and king of music director Rajesh Roshan did very good job all actors like amrish puri and dilip tahl all are good acting Shilpa shirodkar very good in this movie very nice Lil bit comedy and Lil bit emothion made that movie very intriguing. This movie is different level of drama theas watching very.

Indeed, if a mainstream Bollywood star of the 1970-90s hasn't played dual roles at least once in his or her career, there must be something wrong with them. Playing double roles was, if you like, the litmus test of a film star's acting talent and ability to carry a film on his or her shoulders. This is one of the age-old obsessions of commercial Hindi cinema which is getting some revival off late, too, in films like Tanu Weds Manu Returns. Mostly such films were about twins lost at birth, then there's the parent/child lookalikes, and while many of them are entertaining, not all of them are of great quality. As a matter of fact, examples of such films where everything, from script to acting, is up to the mark, are few and far between. Seeta Aur Geeta is one such film - made by the great Ramesh Sippy, it is pure quality entertainment with a brilliant performance by Hema Malini.

Does Kishen Kanhaiya live up to the fame of some of the famous twin movies? Not really, but it's not bad either. Anil Kapoor is an enjoyable actor, and Rakesh Roshan sure knew how to make use of his star quality on screen, although it hardly rings true that twins would be identical even in the size of their mustache! In style and execution, this film falls along the lines of ChaalBaaz, with some exaggerated elements and slapstick comedy. But Kishen Kanhaiya is slightly better, and more because it doesn't just rely on the twin story. The film's recurring tune, later shown in the "Krishna" song, is very nice, and "Kuch Ho Gaya Kya Ho Gaya" is fun. It has a brilliant wide-eyed villain in Amrish Puri and above all, it has Madhuri Dixit, who just can't be relegated to pretty ornament as with her natural presence and stunning beauty almost steals the show. A nice show, then.
