Karzzz Movie Review

I have to admit, I watched this movie out of sheer curiosity. For that real experience, I really wanted to see this movie in a local small cinema hall, but I couldn’t get tickets and eventually had to watch it in a multiplex. So if you want to watch this movie, watch it as I did and you will be really surprised -
ONE - Go to the cinema hall without any expectations. Take it for granted that this Karzzz will be nowhere close to the original one. TWO - Go there just to see Himesh keeping up with his stardom and how he carries an entire film on his shoulder.
I found this movie quite ‘amusing’. The director had his target audience in mind and it is supposed to be really an audio-visual treat for those who really like Himesh’s brand of music and who made Aap Ka Surroor a super hit at the box office. Be clear that it is not for you if you love to hate Himesh.

Urmila Matondkar takes over Simi Garewal’s role as the villainous wife Kaamini who kills her multi-billionaire husband Ravi Verma (Dino Morea) in a plain crash and Ravi Verma ne pichle janam mein kuch paap kiye thay shayad jo agle janam mein he was born as Himesh oops Monty. Monty is a rockstar, he has young girls drooling and falling all over him and thousands of people flocking to watch him live in action. And one such fan is Tina (Shweta Kumar) who falls in love with Rockstar Monty.

The movie begins with a song and after Monty’s entry, in every 10-15 minutes the film breaks into a song where Himesh is given all the chance to play a rockstar (at such a time I so wished I had a remote control). Once the first half, peppered with songs and Monty’s memory flashes of the pichla janam is over that we get to see something interesting. The climax makes more sense than the rest of the movie.

Now coming to performances, there is this very annoying sincerity that Himesh acts with. Although, he is a bit difficult to digest as a hero for us, but he makes a very sincere effort to essay the role of Monty with as much elan as possible. He needs to improve a great deal with his dialogue delivery. But the guy has screen presence and a certain and perhaps that is what has earned him a lot of fans in a certain segment of the society.
Urmila, did a fair job, nothing commendable. She looked hot for sure but I really couldnt take her anglicised hindi accent. Shweta Kumar, doesnt have much to do and she looked too young to play Himesh’s love interest, she even doesnt know how to act so I doubt her future prospects in the industry.
Danny Dengzonpa, the only ‘actor’ in the movie, amuses with his Pran act as Chacha Kabeer mouthing dialogues from old Hindi films. Feels sad to see an actor like Gulshan Grover is wasted with the mute character of St.Judas who uses the same glove gadget to communicate for even after 25 years.
Overall, its very amusing if you go there out of curiosity like I did, just to see how Himesh has acted.
