The much-awaited ‘Karzzzz’ is finally out for the viewers’ entertainment. But the question is that does it entertain the audiences? For the answer, let’s review it. Himesh Reshammiya’s hatless look and the film ‘Karzzzz’ has undoubtedly been putting him in the news from the outset. Monty is back…yes, Rishi Kapoor is back but this time Monty is Himesh. The showman Subhash Ghai’s Karz is now ‘Karzzzz’, which is the production of T-Series and the direction of Satish Kaushik. Himesh’s popularity is being encashed these days by the Bollywood fraternity. And this was the obvious reason of taking him in this film in the lead role. The crowd is crazy for this man’s music and voice. The nasal effects of his vocals attract the music buffs. And this has made him famous and the idol of everybody. His acting debut in ‘Aap Ka Suroor’ went well. Now let’s check whether he does big in this flick or not…
Monty (Himesh Reshammiya) is a rockstarm who falls in love with Tina (Shweta Kumar) in South Africa, while she’s on an assignment from her catering college in Kenya. Monty has visions of his past life and a certain place that he has never visited in life. He also sees gorgeous sexy lass Kamini (Urmila Mantondkar) in dreams. The re-birth story starts in Kenya when he goes there after being advised to take a month’s vacation. He spots the palace that he sees in his dreams and later bumps into Kamini, who has now turned princess. Monty then comes to terms with his past life. Monty is actually Ravi Verma (Dino Morea) from his pervious life. Ravi was deceived, betrayed and murdered by Kamini.
‘Karzzzz’ is about the reincarnation and revenge, which we used to watch it in plenty in the eras of 70s and 80s. In today’s time, where time has changed and sophistication has emerged. We are modern. Nonethless we are offered to watch these ilk of films (though rarely…). The prime example is Shah Rukh Khan’s ‘Om Shanti Om’. That appeared as a mega hit. ‘Karzzzz’ too follows the same formula and is expected to be a blockbuster.
Watch Karzzzz putting your thinking caps aside and don’t think that this is today’s modern time where you can never imagine about re-birth. Just watch it as the re-make of showman Ghai’s ‘Karz’ and you will enjoy every bit of it.
The script is well-penned. The direction by Satish Kaushik is marvelous. He tells the story on screen brilliantly. The music by Himesh Reshammiya is melodious and has already won the hearts of the music lovers.
Amongst the actors, Himesh Reshammiya stands big in the role of Monty. He proves that he is not only a fine musician, singer but also a superb actor Bollywood has every produced so far. Urmila Mantondkar appears as a classy actress. The sexy lady enacts the role of Kamini with aplomb. Shweta Kumar (the daughter of Indra Kumar) is good. She can see her future in Bollywood. Danny is wasted in the character of filmholic uncle. Gulshan Grover is great. The rest do well also.
On the whole, ‘Karzzzz’ is a pure entertaining stuff to watch.
RS Rating: 3/5
