The makers of this movie should remove the ‘Kar‘ from the name of the movie and rename it ‘zzzz‘. The very intention of this movie is not a tribute to the original but to cash in on the original but to cash in on Himesh’s popularity. Karzzz is a remake of Rishi Kapoor, Tina Munim, Simi Garewal starrer. When you remake a film, at least ensure that the characters are likeable.
How on earth can u think of Himesh Reshammiya as a 25 year old pop star when you have already had enough of his ranting on reality television ?Newcomer Shweta Kumar has no clue about what is going on around her,which is good because I donot think she would have signed up for the film otherwise.
Urmila Matondkar as the 50 something vamp gives ‘over the top’ a redefinition. Her golden,shiny pants, her constant frowning and twitching. i have a hunch she charged money for 3 actors for all the overacting she has done in the movie.Finally, Himesh Reshamiya seems earnest and eager to make the film work. His new look and hair donot help the cause much as the film is a colossal exercise in absurdity.
The earlier Karz wasn’t pathbreaking cinema but the characters especially Rishi Kapoor had the panache to carry the film on their shoulders. This Karzzz doesn’t have that. Finally, the original had fabulous music. The only decent song in this one, ‘Ek Hasina Thi‘, is a rip-off of the original one so zero marks for the music too. Satish Kaushik had made on of my worst movies, ‘Badhai Ho Badhai‘ and he comes close to surpassing his earlier efforts with this one.
