Film Review

Kisse Pyaar Karoon

Cast: Arshad Warsi, Ashish Chaudhary, Yash Tonk

Director: Ajay Chandok

Rating: 1/2

A few movies every year make film critics question their profession. Kisse Pyaar Karoon is one such film. It’s as brain-dead as its central characters Dumb, Dumber and Dumbest and is a two hour assault on every sense.

Three overgrown college graduates think they are the Fashion Street version of the Three Musketeers abiding by the motto ‘all for one and one for all’. The trio of good-for-nothings Sid (Arshad Warsi), John (Ashish Chaudhary) and Amit (Yash Tonk) start a band — imaginatively called the ‘Punjab Male Rockband’ — and disband it just as quickly when all attention, and the rest of this absurd film, shifts to finding a heartbroken John a girl and then breaking up his relationship with her.

Sheetal (Udita Goswami) is a plant by a mobster called AK (Shakti Kapoor) and her aim is to marry John and get access to his father’s factory so that AK can export real guns in boxes filled with toy guns. Amit and Sid see their friendship graph nose-diving like and decide to intervene and save their buddy. John has miraculously recovered from his heartbreak after Natasha’s (Aarti Chabria) departure and is madly in love with Sheetal. In the midst of all this the audience gets tossed around in a tasteless stew flavoured with toilet humour where someone is constantly threatening ‘sooside’!

The performances verge on the retarded. Indeed, the only redeeming feature to this waste of time and money is the end credit roll. Aspiring filmmakers wanting a dummies guide to movie making (or casting), can watch this to learn some painful lessons on what not to do when making a film. –UJ
