Kal Kissne Dekha (2009)

A lot had been expected from this movie since it was the first to be released since the two month dispute ended but it was not to be as what had been expected. The only thing about the marketing for this movie was Vaishali Desai's interview on one of the TV channels and nothing else due to the dispute. A young man from the North goes to city to study but upon his arrival at the college, not many like him and slowly and gradually he starts to win them over. But one girl, who is rich and a brat, hates him.Starring Rishi Kapoor, Archana Puransingh, Satish Shah, Farida Jalal, Riteish Deshmukh , Rahul Dev, the movie sees two new actors, Vaishali Desai, grand daughter of the legendary director, Manmohan Desai and Jacky Bhagnani. Juhi Chawla makes a special appearance only and is directed by Vivek Sharma, while Vishal – Shekhar provide the music score.The only good thing was Riteish Deshmukh and his comedy. Vaishali Desai is also good but nothing else that is good can be said about this as plots out nowhere are thrown in. Firstly, love story and then terrorist. Unfortunately, nothing makes sense with this and is a complete disappointment and a waste of time – even after two months. And a lot of good talent was wasted.

I saw this movie expecting a stupid wannabe movie about two people who fall in love with a pointless twist of having visions that is not really explored at all. When I saw the movie, I was very positively surprised. Both Jacky and Vaishali acted very well for their first movie and the story was nice as well. The first half of the movie is romantic with some action. The action was not very intense, but it was there. There was some drama and comedy as well. Both of the main characters did an excellent job establishing their character, and who can forget the hilarious and adorable Bebe played by Archana Puransingh? The story was well played out with a little touch of sci fi and lots of action. The second half was very much a thriller and it was definitely well played out. Overall, the movie had the perfect blend of genres and the actors acted very well. I'd love to see them again in new movies. The backdrop of college was youthful and entertaining and the soundtrack was upbeat and melodious at the same time. I would recommend this movie for sure.

Film starts - few instances of humor.Film continues - old-age-Indian-cinema-brought-alive when NIHAL (lead character) knocks the hell out of 4 biggies all alone.Film continues - Song after song, terrible songs.Film continues - We realize Nihal has the power, to see the future. And wow! He happily tells everyone through the media after he foresaw a blast and prevented it. And guess what? The entire world does not doubt that he may be the culprit, but believes him straight ahead! Film continues - well, let me not spoil it for the few who may want to see it.What really frustrates you is the performance, of all, the lead roles, the supporting roles, the criminals, and etc, etc.You can never figure out what this is - a love story? A terrorist story? What is it? No idea...And then the climax - again, 10 bad guys who beat him bad. And then? Well... some my-girl-inspires-me-thing gets into him and he beats 5 people as if they were kids - and 10 others run away. AMAZING BOLLYWOOD! GROW UP! Once again I disagree with Times of India. They gave this movie 2 stars. NO WAY! It deserves 1/2. 1/2 star. And only because there is nothing below that. Sad. This isn't what we've been waiting for since 2 months. No way.

I went in the theatre with my expectations, well, not sky high, and I am coming back pleasantly surprised. Surrealistic genre is hardly tried in Indian cinema, and those who try it, make a mockery out of it, but Director Vivek Sharma has delivered a film that balances all the finer aspects of bollywood with the rare and wonderful concept of bollywood in one film. Jacky Bhagnani looks amazingly comfortable as an actor, and plays his role of an odd ball yet charming youngster quite well. The college scenes of the movie are real breeze, thoroughly enjoyable (I didn't think I would ever say that after watching 1000 movies with same college scenes), and the twist in the tale is well executed. At the end of it, I think this is going to be the surprise hit of the year, and I won't be surprised to see this new kid Jacky join the league
