In Karzzzz... Himesh Reshamiya is a twenty something year old rockstar and Urmila Matondkar is almost double that age; Gulshan Grover is the mute villain and his mode of communication is his 'artificial electronic musical hand'; and not to forget that Dino Morea is reborn as Himesh Reshamiya!
I just gave you a very brief idea as to what you should expect when you are ready enough or I should say brave enough to watch Satish Kaushik's version of Shubhash Ghai's Karz. I have not seen the 80's Karz. Hence my views on this Karzzzz will be without any kind of comparisons with the older version.
Honestly I had no expectations from Karzzzz. But I was definitely expecting some decent entertainment if not anything out of the ordinary. It's a pity that this pathetic excuse of a film is the worst I've seen this year after Maan Gaye Mughal-E-Azam. What was the need to remake Karz at all? The story of reincarnation is totally outdated and it's all the more risky if you have an amateur actor like Reshamiya playing the main protagonist. Combine that with some very clichéd dialogues, inconsistent screenplay, forgettable music and some career worst performances, you get a damp squib like this one.
Satish Kaushik is totally ineffective in constructing an engaging plot and often resorts to tried and tested elements of drama. Monty's plane crashing right infront of the Kali mandir is one such example. Editing is poor. The editor should have made use of his scissors to get rid of some of the songs which look forced into the screenplay. Most of those songs are boring anyway and lack that essence called melody. Sameer's lyrics for the Tandoori Nights track is particularly amusing. Background score isn't much effective too, most of it is lifted from previous films. Apart from the script, the most amusing part of Karzzzz are the performances. Amusing because the actors just do not know what they are doing! Blame the director to some extent for that. Himesh Reshamiya tries hard but fails miserably. Both his acting skills and composing skills in this film are poor. What he needs desperately are lessons on voice modulation and expression. Of the two leading ladies, Urmila Matondkar does a decent job but what on earth was she thinking when she shot for the Lut Jaau track in the woods in the second half? Her expressions in that scene are hilarious, the audience would be laughing where they shouldn't be. Newcomer Shweta Kumar makes one of the most forgettable debuts. Dino Morea is average and veterans like Rohini Hattangadi, Gulshan Grover and Danny Denzongpa don't get much scope.
Overall, Karzzzz is a big bore and it's a shame to see the amount of investment that has gone into the making of this film. It doesn't deserve your time nor your hard earned money.
0.5 on 5 for lack of anything that can be praised about.
