User Reviews

Don't forget your Ear plugs and Eye mask.

Not everyone has the option of avoiding these type of movies. Some of us are unwillingly dragged to such horror shows by family and friends. If you are one of them I strongly suggest that you keep ear-plugs and an eye mask handy.

I have unfortunately seen Krazzy 4 and if I could I would undo watching this abomination and watch Krazzy 4 again. This is the kind of movie that makes you want to take your own life. Everything about the movie is an insult to movie-making and intelligence. Everyone associated with the movie deserves to be locked away in a dark dungeon and the keys thrown away so that they cannot unleash another monstrosity on unsuspecting moviegoers.

The plot or rather the lack of it is something that would put Chandrakanta to shame. Geeky Imran Khan falls in love with annoying prick Kangana Ranaut. In the parallel universe where Nikhil Advani lives the types of Imran Khan are the ones identified as geeks. He probably opened the dictionary for the first time in his life and read, wearing glasses = geek. So the next time someone calls you a geek rejoice coz it means that you are as good looking as Imran Khan.

Imran Khan as usual spends a lot of his time running through the Airport. It must be so easy writing a script for Imran Khan. The writer probably writes the climax scene first, Imran Khan is running through the airport...The End.

Nikhil Advani and the other clown who co-wrote the movie undoubtedly wrote the entire script on a single piece of paper. This is how it probably went, there is Imran Khan , there is Kangana Ranaut, there is a Turtle, the End.

Looking for positives in the movie would be like looking at the bright side of having AIDS. There are a couple of good songs in the movie if that matters. There is a good Sufi track towards the end but even here the director leaves no stone unturned to ruin it. The male playback singer who has a very good voice ,apt for the track is followed by a female singer who sounds like someone shoved a whistle down her throat.

I have read a lot of reviews that the director was somehow drawing inspiration from the Joseph Gordon Levitt-Zoey Deschanel starrer 500 days of summer. 500 days of Summer was a very toned down movie about the relationship between a girl afraid of commitment and a boy madly in love with her. Katti batti is so over the top with everything that it was probably the inspiration for all the fight scenes in MSG.

If you are on of those rare people who for reasons unknown enjoyed the movie then you need to get yourself a thorough medical examination. Kangana Ranaut has undone all the good work that she did in Queen and TWMR by deciding to act in this farce. I wish I had one of those memory erasing pen type thingy that they used in MIB so that I can delete this movie forever from memory. Unfortunately everything about the movie is so loud that I could not even sleep in the theatre even though I tried and trust me I tried really hard.

For a so called comedy there is not one funny scene in the entire movie. I now think that there is a highly secretive organization whose purpose is to mentally torture people and the director is a part of that society. This movie has probably now elevated him to head of the society.

I was misfortunate enough to watch the movie on the 2nd day post release and the theatre was almost completely empty thereby reaffirming my faith in moviegoers. Now I understand why movies like Bajrangi Bhaijaan end up being such mega hits. For Indian moviegoers it's either BB or KB.

Every actor associated with the movie including Kangana should retire from acting with immediate effect for being a part of this mind numbing experience.

Nikhil Advani should now take a long hiatus from directing. He can then learn the trade better and probably make a comeback when the years begin with the number 3.
