Movie review: Kal Kisnay Dekha
'Kal Kisnay Dekha' doesn't break any new grounds in film-making. Just that it is the only release that created interest out of the three films that is released after nine weeks owing to the stand-off between the producers and the multi-plex owners.
THERE WAS a time when Vasu Bhagnani was the uncrowned producer number one of the industry - Coolie No 1, Hero No 1, Bade Miyaan Chote Miyaan and Biwi No 1 - he produced back to back hits. However, in 1999 with Rehnaa Hai Tere Dil Mein he started churning out flops. Will after a decade, in 2009, his son Jackie, who makes debut with Kal Kisnay Dekha -turn the tide in Pa’s favour?

Kal Kisnay Dekha tells the story of a young boy from Chandigarh - Nihaal (Jackie Bhagnani). His mind always bustles with ideas so he wants to go to the city to pursue studies further and also to meet the girl of his dreams.

After the intial hiccups his momma read bebe (Archana Puran Singh) allows him to go to the city.

In the city, Nihaal meets the college gang as well as the girl of his dreams- Misha (Vyshalee Desai), a rich spoilt brat.

He also finds as mentor in a professor, Sidhdhant Verma (Rishi Kapoor) who intervenes college ruffians led by Kabeer (Abhishek Kapoor) harass him.

Thereby starts the college rom-com where Nihaal tries to win-over the love of miss snooty, Misha.

So far so good, but call it irony; as soon as he wins over Misha, the pace of the film sags. Ideally with the terrorist angle coming in and the fact that the protagonist can see the future - the film should have the audiences hooked - but the plot and the happenings are pretty predictable.

In fact, with the identity of the terrorists including Rishi Kapoor revealed in the pre-interval portion itself - need for an imaginative screenplay was imperative.

Jackie Bhagnani is good in parts. He has the screen presence. Vyshalee Desai has nothing much to do, she looks good in certain scenes and absolutely horrible in a couple of others. Archana Puran Singh, Dalip Tahil, Satish Shah, Rahul Dev are fine in their roles.

The production values are very rich and the cinematography is in sync with film’s mood. Music could have been much better.

The film serves only one purpose, which I guess was the makers intention too - showcase Jackie Bhagnani - in that sense film achieves its goal.

What rocks the movie :

Locations, absolutely breathtaking. Rishi Kapoor’s act; in spite of a badly etched role. Jackie Bhagnani in a few scenes.

What chucks the movie :

Innumerable songs. The absolutely outdated 2nd half

Verdict :

Kal Kisnay Dekha is the run-of-the-mill stuff that Bollywood has seen umpteen times; better to wait till next week and see Wolverine instead.
