Mumbai, Oct 17: Looks like Himesh’s hatless look for ‘Karzzz’ is doing wonders for him. ‘Monty’ is back and the first day audience seems to like him too. And, the singer -actor has successfully managed to enhance the likeability factor- for himself and the film. The music of ‘Karzzz’ lives up to the classic cult of the 1980 hit Rishi Kapoor starrer ‘Karz’.
As an individual, Himesh was quite impressive and the movie had the right tint of entertainment.
‘Karzzz’ is a remake of the veteran actor Rishi Kapoor’s ‘Karz’ and with Satish Kaushik behind the camera, Himesh does look like a ‘rock star’.
The story goes like this…
Monty (Himesh Reshammiya) is a rock star, who falls in love with Tina (Shweta Kumar) in South Africa, while she’s on an assignment from her catering college in Kenya.
Monty dreams of a certain place that he has never visited yet feels related to it, he also begins to get flashes about a beautiful chic in his dream, Kamini (Urmila Matondkar).
The re-birth saga begins in Kenya, where Himesh spots the palace that he sees in his dreams and later meets Kamini, who’s now a princess. Monty then comes to terms with his past life.
For, Monty is actually Ravi Verma (Dino Morea) from a previous life. Ravi was deceived, betrayed and killed by Kamini.
‘Karzzz’ never veers too far and sticks to the theme. The old saga of reincarnation and vengeance is also brought out full-throttle.
Keeping in mind the target audience, ‘Karzzz’ seems to pull it off. The movie is family entertainment, taking you back to the times of the golden era of Bollywood and the hay days of the cute Chintu.
Himesh has done a stupendous job as an actor and Urmila does justice to her role. The movie also stars Danny Denzongapa playing the role of a filmholic uncle, who dispenses advice through dialogues from popular movies. Rohini Hattangadi takes on the modern avatar of a Nirupa Roy. Raj Babbar is Monty’s manager/adoptive father, Gulshan Grover a mute villain with a steel forearm.
Looks like the newcomer Shweta Kumar does really have a future in Bollywood.
Three cheers for the slim-bod, uncapped Himesh’s ‘Karzzz’…
