Konnecting Yes Boss and Lage Raho MunnaBhai
Jul 25, 2008
 
Movie: Kismat Konnection Compliment the user
Overall Rating

Raj Malhotra, Priya, Haseena Bano Jaan, Gill & Batra.

Aziz Mirza is known for his feel-good factor in his creation, like serial like Nukkad, movies like Raju ban gaya Gentleman, Yes Boss, Phir Bhi Dil hain Hindustani and now Kismat Konnection. All his creation targets a middle-class guy as a central character.

An ambitious, middle class guy, with lots of talent, dreams to achieve big in his life. Sound similar to Yes Boss. Yes, you are correct, but this time its not apna SRK, but its Shahid, who shares SRK's fav name, Raj Malhotra.

Raj is a architect based in Canada, who is a college topper, but a big loser in his professional life, which is in a bad shape. According to him, he has a bad Kismat, which never konnects. So, he goes to an astrologer, Haseena Bano Jaan, played by Juhi, who suggest him to find a lucky charm who will solve Raj's problems and make him reach the peak of success.

Raj meets Priya (Vidya), with whom he always end up fighting. But, Raj comes to know that Priya is his lucky charm when she strikes him, while Raj is playing an impossible snooker shot to win Gill's (Om Puri) confidence. Vidya is playing a similar character as in Lage Raho Munnabhai, who has a community center, which will be demolished by Gill & Batra builders to make a Mall.

I dont want to tell the whole story over here. But, as I said, Kismat Konnection is a mixture of Yes Boss (in 1st Half) and Lage raho Mumnnabhai (2nd Half).

Still, Aziz Mirza wins to make a goody goody movie, which has some nice moments between Shahid-Vidya, speech at the end by Shahid to prove his point.

Kismat Konnection is a one-time watch, for Shahid's hard work, Vidya's charm, Juhi's natkhat Kurkure nakharas and other characters who make the film a bit crispy. I feel the first half is really good, which shows Raj struggling hard to get his kismat on a right track, but the second half goes a bit ticky-tacky as Raj starts feeling guilty for cheating Priya and all. But, at the end everything goes fine and public comes out of the theatres in a nice mood.

Songs are relly good and have shot well.

"Ae Papi" and "Move your Body" sounds really cool and peppy with Shahid's good moves,

"Is this Love" and "Bakhuda" are nice romantic songs with a good cozy chemistry between Shahid-Vidya.

All in all watch this movie, if you want to see a goody-goody, feel-good movie, typically an Aziz Mirza type.

!!Cuddos to Aziz Mirza to make a regular movie, but with some different style and touch!!

Goody Goody Movie, but the special effect tortures
Jul 18, 2008
 
Movie: Thoda Pyaar Thoda Magic Compliment the user
Overall Rating

This is a regular Kunal Kapoor's movie. Filled with all the goody goody scenes.

Saif, Rani have done justice to their roles. Saif has got in his character and hass donethe transformation from Hard to Soft very well. His transformation is the winning point of this movie. Rani looks really cute and dont worry aboyt her fashion sense, she looks cute both as a Human and an Angel too. The romantic scenes between Rani and Saif are tooo good and must say their chemistry rocks. Especially the dialogue, "Jab yahaan dard hota tab yahaan se aansu nikalte hain".

Ameesha is given a silly character, but she has sizzled in the song "Lazy Lamhe".

But, the show stealers are the Kids. Seriously, kids have started taking over Bollywood nowadays. Especially the gal kids have acted very well, with good expressions.

Tats with the goody stuff.

But, the spoiler part is, Kunal Kapoor has started hamming with his special effect scenes a lot. The special effects are disgusting, especially the angel scenes. Rishi Kapoor has been wasted. The songs are a big dissapointment, except Lazy Lamhe.

Kunal tried to do a Hum-Tum and a Ta-Ra-Rum-Pum mix over here taking the Saif-Rani duo plus kids. But, sorry Kunal take off the special effects , put some good songs and even some more good scenes.

I felt like he has tried to wrap up the movie, carelessly.

Well, all in all a nice movie to watch and forget. Watch this movie with kids and wife, if you have. :)

Waiting for some good movie like Hum-Tum, next time from Kunal Kapoor.
