KARZZZZ: A Review

Where do I begin?? I have deliberately left out the word movie from the title. KARZZZZ cannot be termed as a movie in any universe. It SUCKS! Don’t be mistaken. Aap Ka Suroor also sucked…it sucked really bad. But there was a different level of sucking which is further lowered by KARZZZZ. The additional Zs just add the ‘ZZZ’ dozing effect to the movie. After watching ‘this’ anyone will feel that Indian Cinema has not grown at all in 3 decades. Ghai’s Karz was one of the most acclaimed movies of its time because it was suitable for mentality of people in 70’s. This KARZZZZ however is a step in the downward direction. It makes me wonder how can a director screw up a rip off so badly? the story is right in front of you…dialogs are there…you just add songs and thats it. This would have been better than the current attempt at a so called ‘tribute’ to the original Karz. The only 2 twists added by Satish Kaushik should have been included in the bloopers video at the end of the movie.

The story, though basically same, somehow becomes pointless after a while. The acting, direction and unnecessary songs make it a complete boring affair. Additional characters like one by Asarani, raj babbar are useless. Danny’s role is completely redundant. They just add to the already existing confusion. The 25-year-later scenes show all the old characters almost the way they were 25-years-before. Maybe someone invented an anti-aging potion in between.

Now Himesh! He also knows he cannot act. He admits that publicly. Dude, then don’t act! I am tempted to say don’t sing also, but after watching KARZZZZ my priorities have changed. We first need to take him off the screen and then shut him up. He should have been the last choice (even after Rajpal Yadav or Raju Shrivastav) for Monty’s role. Steve Bucknor is more expressive than him. I really don’t understand why anyone would be so desperate to make a movie to cast Himesh. There are lot of other ‘faltu’ actors out there. Even Dino’s role as Ravi Varma is better!

If Himesh thinks that the little above flop performance of his 2 films makes him a noticable actor, he is wrong. I have seen both the films with the groups which had the sole intention of ridiculing Himesh. Aap Ka Suroor was released when he was supposedly at the peak of popularity. But we were surprised to see quite a few ‘lukkha’ public like us at the theatre. The performance of movies is attributed considerably to Himesh haters as well. So let me tell Himesh one thing…you are making a fool of yourself by acting. If you think that people really like your acting, then you are an ignorant idiot. As long as you are acting, people like me WILL go to theatres and make fun of you. So good luck!

Urmila desperately needs to get married. She WAS a very talented actress. But she is completely lost now. She lacks the grace of Simi Garewal in every aspect of Kaamini’s role. Totally confused. The newbie Shweta Kumar, well… when you have Himesh as datum line, any third class actor looks good. But she is very dull, has irritating voice, scary smile and annoying gestures. Before continuing acting, she should seriously consider professional career counseling.

My view could have been entirely biased given that I hate Himesh. But as a movie also KARZZZZ could not be regarded even as an averege effort. Taran Aadarsh and few others have given 4 star rating to the movie. He is either extra-terrestrial and has some different definition of ‘GOOD’, has been bribed for good review or he is ‘Bi-Curious‘…and ‘confused’ about Himesh. Even an unbiased viewer should know that this movie is worthless.
