I am not into reviewing movies as my readers are well aware (and i am aware too that i don't have too many readers except for a dedicated set of followers; thanks for sticking with me :)) but viewing Himesh Reshammiya's latest movie entitles me to express my views.
And before you guys exclaim eww!!!, yuck! and every other such word not found in the dictionary, I declare: 'Yes, I watched Karzzz' and am proud of it (my feat of watching it, I mean, not the movie!). Okay, here are my reasons:
1. There was no other option.
2. Himesh is an intriguing character. Love him or hate him, you can't ignore him.
3. The re-make of Karz would be worth watching. (I thought so)
So, as I started feasting on the gala unfolding before my eyes (with accompanying crunches of popcorn from neighbouring seats- yes, there were other people in the hall too!), with the now renowned nasal twang accompanying the visuals, I tensed with expectation. As the story started ravelling, my interest peaked- not with the story but the actors and their portrayals. And leading the pack was our very own HR- in his avatar as Monty the rockstar- handsome hunk, playboy and what not! Most of the dialogues were delivered in profile, notable exception being the 'lucky in love and unlucky in gambling' one.
Still it was fun. It always is when the characters try to do something and the result is something quite different. It was a passable comedy. I was doubled with laughter at certain points.
While my companion dozed away most of the second half leaning on my shoulder (it hurt later!) still, I commend myself for watching the movie. Reason? Well, 'If you can watch the movie and not fall asleep and come out of the hall alive, you are a man, my Son!'
