Karzzz (drama)Cast: Himesh Reshammiya, Urmila Matondkar, Shweta Kumar
Direction: Satish Kaushik Critics
RULE number one: Don't compare chalk with cheese and you might just end up sitting through this new version of a vintage blockbuster without falling prey to all the extra ZZZZZZs (read yawns) in the title. Rule number two: Don't dare mention the word `Rishi' when Reshammiya is on screen and you could end up seeing what the man-next-door sees in this singer-turned-wannabe actor who supposedly wowed the aam janta with his debut act in Aap Ka Suroor. And most importantly, rule number three: go looking for pure masala, with no pretensions of brainy-brawny stuff and you could get your paisa vasool staple diet of unadulterated formula. Satish Kaushik does try and follow Subhash Ghai's original musical, with a few twists and turns, here and there. Primarily, it is a tried and tested reincarnation story where murdered lover Ravi Verma (Dino Morea) returns to avenge his death as Monty (Himesh Reshammiya), the pop singer who befriends his former wife (Urmila Matondkar) in his new avtar. While the first half is primarily an extended Reshammiya concert, peppered with song after song, it's the second half that provides some watchable moments of high tension and drama, as Reshammiya weaves his web around the luscious widow, Matondkar. The music is meant specifically for Reshammiya fans and is actually quite peppy and zany, including the kitschy Tandoori Nights. As an actor, Himesh seems to have moved forward after his wooden act in his first film. He prefers to play it completely straight and goes over the top only in the climax. The high point of the film is Urmila Matondkar who tries to chart a different course as the mean, machiavellian gold digger. Again, do not look for Simi Grewal's super poise in this sultry seductive widow act of Ms Matondkar. New girl Shweta Kumar has miles to go before she can think of a career in Bollywood.
