Movie Review: Karz

Star Cast: Himesh Reshammiya, Urmila Matondkar, Danny, Raj Babbar and introducing Shweta Kumar; Director: Satish Kaushik; Rating: 1/5
Date Seen 24/10/2008

This remake of Subhash Ghai’s 1980s super hit Karz has basically the same storyline as the original with a little twist added to it. So for all those who haven’t seen the original, the plot goes like this – Kamini (Urmila) marries Ravi Verma (Dino Morea) for his riches and bumps him off immediately after their marriage. Two decades later, the biggest music sensation in South Africa, Monty (Himesh) one day suddenly during a rehearsal starts playing a tune and goes into a trance, with intense visual flashes of a mansion, a temple, a beautiful girl and ends up collapsing unconscious. Further a flash back reveals that Monty was actually Ravi Verma in his previous life, married to a beautiful girl called Kamini. Monty now has the grave realization of having been reborn in his current persona. His beautiful love interest (Tina) is none other than Kamini’s foster daughter. From here starts Monty’s new journey. A journey of revenge! How he accomplishes it and gives justice to Ravi Verma’s hapless old mother and sister forms the rest of the film.
The basic premise of this film is even exciting for anyone of today’s generation. But one thing that one needs to keep in mind while watching this film is that it is not completely aimed at the multiplex going audience. It has been treated like a typical masala film aimed at the masses and to enjoy one needs to keep his brains back at home.
The things that work are - The enthusiasm of Himesh in reprising Rishi Kapoor’s Monty. Himesh has given it his all and his efforts show. You root for him in the second half when he starts playing games with Urmila. The action sequences, especially the climax ones are mind blowing. Another good plus is the performance by Urmila in her first ever full blown villainous role. Her venomous act is bound to get her few awards this year for sure. She has even exposed her body a lot in those glamorous dresses. Gulshan Grover (as Sir Judah) in his unusual get up leaves a mark. Danny as the every helpful Kabir chacha (played by Pran in the original) and Asrani lend able support.
But the things that don’t really work are – The pairing of Himesh and debutante Shweta Kumar. They share an extremely thanda chemistry. Considering it is her debut film, the poor gal hasn’t been properly presented as well. In the acting department she still has a long way to go. The styling of the film is extremely poor excluding that of Himesh’s. The set design is straight out of the 80s films. Also, despite having so many dance numbers, there is not a single song that stays in your mind thanks to some really pathetic choreography with those now mandatory firang dancers around. The high point of the original Karz, the Ek Hasina Thi number falls flat in here in its new version. As a director, Satish Kaushik fails to add any independent distinct style.
I suggest dont see it its a waste.

Movie Review: Fashion

Movie star Cast: Mugdha Godse, Priyanka, Kangna, Arbaaz, Harsh Chhaya, Madhur, Karan Johar, Manish Malhotra, Neil Mukesh, Arjan Bajwa, Sameer Soni and Kitu; Director: Madhur Bhandarkar; Rating: 4/5
Date Seen: 3/11/08
Fashion begins in Chandigarh, where aspiring model Meghna Mathur (Priyanka) expresses her wish to go to Mumbai to her parents. While her dad (Raj Babbar) out rightly denies her permission, her mom (Kiran Juneja) is supportive. Against her dad’s wishes, Meghna leaves her house with dreams in her eyes to strike it big in the modeling world. But it is not a path of roses for her as she experiences some major difficulties in her initial days in Mumbai. But she gets a good helping hand with an old acquaintance, Rohit (Ashwin Mushran) an aspiring designer who assists big shot designer Rahul Arora (Sameer Soni). She keeps bumping into another struggling model, Maanav (Arjan) while making the rounds of modeling agencies for auditions. Meghna becomes good friends with Maanav and even starts sharing his apartment after she faces accommodation problems. Meghna gets noticed by India’s top modeling agency Panache’s top official, Anisha Roy (Kitu) who brings her to Panache boss, Abhijit Sareen’s (Arbaaz) notice. Abhijit gets impressed by her ambitious nature and go getter attitude. Panache’s face is Shonali (Kangana) but though very successful, her drug habit starts becoming a problem for her and subsequently for Panache. Abhijit decides to terminate Shonali’s contract and ropes in Meghna in her place. Soon, Meghna is everywhere – right from being the showstopper at the biggest fashion shows in town to fashion magazine covers to print ads to TV commercials. The overnight success spoils Meghna and the budding love relationship between her and Maanav also comes to an abrupt end. What happens after Meghna reaches the pinnacle of success in the modeling world and how her journey also invariably leads to the downfall of Shonali and what shocking things further await Meghna forms the rest of the film.
After Chandni Bar, Page 3, Corporate and Traffic Signal, Madhur has hit a master stroke with Fashion exposing the murky underbelly of the most glamorous profession in the world. Never getting preachy and avoiding stereo types Madhur efficiently handles the subject without getting judgemental even once. He has outshined himself in the technical department making Fashion is most slick product till date. His perfect casting also lifts the film to a completely different level. In fact one wouldn’t be surprised if Madhur manages to win a National Award with this film as well! Also, perhaps for the first time his climax is not dark where the protagonist ends up being a loser! The film has a bitter-sweet ending.
The screenplay by Madhur, Anuradha Tiwari and Ajay Monga peeks deep into the reality of the fashion world and touches every single aspect of the industry such as casting couch, gay designers, wild lifestyle of models who can’t handle success, backstage dramas during major fashion shows, manipulative head honchos and attitude problems of successful people. After holding the audience’s attention captive for a major portion, the screenplay tends to drag towards the finale moments. Niranjan Iyengar’s dialogues strike a chord.
Priyanka in the most challenging roles of her career, delivers the goods successfully. Kangana despite a short role ends up giving an award worthy performance. Even though it is her debut film, Mugdha Godse shows extreme confidence. Arbaaz Khan is good and so is Sameer Soni. Arjan Bajwa acts well. Kitu Gidwani is graceful whereas Ashwin Mushran is very like able.
Fashion is a must watch for many reasons so go for it and trust us you wont be disappointed.

New movies- Awaiting Release

GOLMAAL RETURNS

The players: Ajay Devgan, Kareena Kapoor, Tusshar Kapoor, Arshad Warsi, Shreyas Talpade, Celina Jaitley and Amrita Arora.
The maker: Rohit Shetty
The plot: In a comedy of confusion, a guy (Devgan), with some help from his friends (Kapoor, Talpade), creates one delusion after another to save his skin from the suspicious other half (Kareena). That they have a mysterious murder to deal with only adds to the mayhem.
Pros: Golmaal had its moments. Hopefully, so will the sequel. Besides watching Omkara's Omi and Dolly in a new light should be interesting.
Cons: Mixing mystery with comedy isn't always a bright idea. Remember the deal with Shetty's Sunday?
Release date: October 29.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
BILLO BARBER
The players: Shah Rukh Khan, Irrfan Khan, Lara Dutta.
The maker: Priyadarshan
The plot: Unable to adjust himself with changing times, a barber (Irrfan) hits an all time low in business. And then one fine day, his superstar childhood friend (SRK) comes in neighbourhood and life takes a turn for the better.
Pros: SRK and Irffan sharing screen space to play a contemporary Lord Krishna and Sudama? Sounds good! Buzz is Kareena Kapoor and Deepika Padukone will pitch in an item number each.
Cons: This is not a regular SRK flick. Maybe that's also a good thing.
Release date: November 7.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DOSTANA

The players: Abhishek Bachchan, John Abraham, Priyanka Chopra and Bobby Deol.
The maker: Tarun Mansukhani
The plot: Two guys (Bachchan, Abraham), a girl (Chopra), living under one roof in Miami. Complications arise when the girl develops a crush on one of them. Only he likes him better than her.
Pros: It's a trendy, young-looking rom-com shot in the land of bikini and beaches -- Miami.
Cons: The audience might feel tired of seeing Priyanka in so many films, one after another, this year (Golden bikini, notwithstanding). Also, it's a tricky subject, which is definitely bound to raise eyebrows.
Release date: November 14.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
YUVRAAJ

The players: Salman Khan, Anil Kapoor, Katrina Kaif, Zayed Khan and Mithun Chakravarthy.
The maker: Subhash Ghai
The plot: Yuvraaj revolves around the young men who don't have the faintest idea of what they want but will go after it with rebellion anyway.
Pros: It'll be intriguing to watch Salman deliver under Ghai's guidance. Also, his equation with Katrina in a non-David Dhawan caper.
Cons: What if it turns out to be another one of Ghai's star-studded, soul-less extravaganza. Taal, Yaadein or Kisna, anyone?
Release date: November 21.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
KAMBAKTH ISHQ
The players: Akshay Kumar, Kareena Kapoor, Aftab Shivdasani, Amrita Arora.
The maker: Sabir Khan
The plot: What happens when a daring stuntman (Kumar) falls for a Page 3 types (Kapoor)? Kambakth ishq, indeed!
Pros: Akshay Kumar! The man is on a roll. Also, Sylvester Stallone making his Bollywood debut, even if it's only a special appearance.
Cons: Debutant director Sabir Khan might not have the experience to do justice to the film, shot on a multi-crore canvas, extensively in Hollywood and more, with Bollywood's A-listers like Akki and Kareena.
Release date: December 5.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
RAB NE BANA DI JODI

The players: Shah Rukh Khan, Anushka Sharma
The maker: Aditya Chopra
The plot: Older guy, younger girl. It's not exactly a match made in heaven. But that's that.
Pros: Aditya Chopra returns to direct after a long break. And as always SRK is his leading man.
Cons: Audiences might be fed up of love stories with huge age-gaps after Nishabd and Cheeni Kum.
Release date: December 12.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
GHAJINI

The players: Aamir Khan, Jiah Khan, Asin.
The maker: A R Murugadoss
The plot: A man (Khan) suffering from short-term memory loss finds himself in a very dodgy situation. How he deals with it forms the crux of the plot.
Pros: Ever since its announcement to Aamir' shaved look, the Hindi remake of the Tamil hit, Ghajini has evoked huge levels of excitement. More importantly, the perfectionist and his films are synonymous with substance.
Cons: Perhaps it's dark theme with only revenge on its mind.
Release date: December 26
