Kasoor

Well, to start off I really enjoyed this movie...coz I like thrillers,with good music and romance intertwined...and Kasoor scores in all three areas...the movie is certainly NOT original,but who cares? It blends all the ingredients of a Bollywood movie, with fine performances from all actors...Lisa Ray(though her voice is dubbed)looks convincing and beautiful at the same time...she is sure to remain in the minds and hearts of all youngsters,courtesy Kasoor. Aftab is surprisingly good too, and enacts his role to the T. Wonder what's happened to him off late? He brings out the soft spoken,romantic expressions with that deceptive hue to his character with elan. In supporting roles,Irrfan and Ashutosh Rana are good as usual.

Where Kasoor beats the other regular Bollywood thrillers is that it manages to hold the suspense till the end...the hints and clues are subtly,deftly woven into the storytelling without going over the top. It sure drags on in the middle with the court sequences,and could have beeen curtailed by 20 mins or so. But hey, who's expecting flawlessness like say Christopher Nolan?

Music is really impressive, the romantic tracks are sure to keep you humming hours after you've watched it!

All in all. a good entertainer...so go for it!

Vikram Bhatt is a genius his directing skills are wonderful and he really knows how to get his scriptwriters Mahesh Bhatt is awesome and the dialogues delivered by Girish Dhamija for Ashutosh Rana are simply wonderful the songs by Nadeem-Shravan are out of this world especially "Kitna behchan hoke" so beautifully sung i loved this thriller in every way and nowadays even though Vikram Bhatt is making crappy movies but you have to appreciate him for the thrillers he made 5 years ago like Raaz and Dastak even though he makes crappy movies like Elaan and worst of them all Jurm he was still a good thriller and has talent to make these types of thrillers he just needs to give them a different genre that's all they'll be good and people will just say that's another Vikrsm Bhatt movie but at least they'll look at it as if it were a different movie Kasoor was amazing and well more movies like these should be made often

I first saw this in 2001 in a theatre and was awestruck at the plagiarism cos i went to see this without knowing that its a blatant rip off of Jagged Edge.

Revisited it recently on a fast forward mode.

One of the thing i liked in this one is the hot babe Lisa Ray.

Another striking thing which they did good in this version is that at least the lead character (Lisa Ray) calls up the police aft discovering the typewriter whereas in the original, the lead character (Glenn Close) never calls up the police but both the versions have that typical poetic justice/end.

'Kasoor' is the latest movie from the Bhatt camp and is the remake of the 1985 Hollywood thriller 'Jagged Edge' like most of Vikram Bhatt's movies. Surprisingly, 'Kasoor' is a mediocre remake of 'Jagged Edge' if not very bad.

Aftab Shivdasani plays the role that Jeff Bridges plays in the original of a scheming husband and Lisa Ray plays the role of Glenn Close in the original, and that of a lawyer. Aftab and Lisa were pretty good in their acting. Lisa was superb especially in the courtroom sequences. But sadly, Lisa Ray was dubbed by Divya Dutta who also has a guest appearance in the movie. Apoorva Agnihotri had nothing to do. Ashutosh Rana and Irrfan Khan were okay. Vishwajeet Pradhan and Sucheta Pausche were adequate.

'Kasoor' scores well in the music department. 'Zindagi Ban Gaye Ho Tum' being the best track in the whole film. Cinematography could've been better, especially during the coutroom sequences. Editing seemed slow and boring. Direction was pretty good. Watch it if you want a chill down your spine.

Kasoor is a step outside the norm for the hindi film indusrty. Refreshingly intelligent and beautifully directed Kasoor is a must see movie. Excellent acting from both leads who were both relatively new to Bollywood. The suspense was intense as was the character portrayed by Aaftab Shivdassani. Liza Ray's voice seems a bit awkward but her acting make up for it. The musical score was surprisingly different. The tracks were different from the usual romantic ballads. The atmosphere of professionalism is apparent. The movie is better suited for viewers with refined tastes as this movie is more subtle than the average hindi flick. A thriller to the last second people who don't usually like Indian movies will like this one.
