Kal Kissne Dekha - Behindwoods.com - Hindi Movie Reviews - Jackky Bhagnani Vaishali Desai Rishi Kapoor Archana Puran Singh

The story is about simple Nihal Singh, who has the power to see the future. He comes to Mumbai from Chandigarh to do his PG and falls in love with the Meesha, a spoilt rich girl. After quite a while Meesha does fall for Nihal’s charm and then comes out the twist. When Nihal’s power goes public, a terrorist gang tries to utilize his power of science to their benefit. Will Nihal and Meesha’s life be the same again? If you really can’t guess the answer and wants the answer for this question so desperately then go to the theatres near you but make it quick, as you might very well have just 6 more days to do that.

How can Vashu Bhagnani be so blinded by his love for his son that he has given a go ahead to such a shoddy script? Is it a romantic movie? A comedy? A thriller? A campus Jollyride? A drama? Or an action? Maybe the director Vivek Sharma was so confused and unable to decide on which genre to choose, made a mix of all and gave us a cocktail, so sad that it tastes so bad. The director has made a story where the hero knows Karate, boxing, motor-bike riding, singing, dancing and is a science wiz too but they are still not content with it, they gave him the power which all the actors in Bollywood recently seem to possess, the power to see the future/past. Too bad all the two which tried this in the past 4 months have bombed at the box-office and this might also be joining the list but future is something which can’t be predicted. After all, Kal Kissne Dekha? There are a few scenes which are shot quite well but majority of them are handled so amateurishly that it seems to be just an expensive gift by a dad to his son. Lack of continuity is evident right through the movie and the worst part of the enterprise is its Climax. The few people in the theatre who survived till the end started laughing at the Climax; such was the state of the movie.

Technically the movie is very good with some good clean cinematography by Jhonny Lal. His work, especially in Tere Bina song is laudable. The movie has some foot tapping numbers thanks to Sajid –Wajid, but nothing which is of a chartbuster material. Editing by Sanjay Verma seems to be good in patches with some of the transitions being utterly disturbing. The production values are quite lavish and that is something which we can’t point our fingers at, so is the Choreography by Remo. Dialogues are again amateurish and the stunts are pathetic and needed some camera tricks to look at least semi-decent.

Performance wise the movie has very little to boast of, even though there are many well known stars acting in the movie. Jackky Bhagnani needs to work on his dialogue delivery and his body language but in many scenes his acting is cute, not good but cute. He dances well but looks out of place in action sequences. Vaishali Desai hams big time, she looks ravishing though. Farida Jalal and Sathish Shah are wasted. Archana Puran Singh does a cameo as the Hero’s mom and cracks one up quite easily, clearly a talent which is under utilized. Ritesh Deshmukh comes as a comic relief and is quite successful in extracting some laughter. Rishi Kapoor should have definitely said a big no to this movie as such a brilliant actor is wasted in this role, but still he does the given job perfectly. Juhi Chawla and Sanjay Dutt give a special appearance.

We might not posses the same power as the hero to see the future and save millions (guess Papa dearest also doesn’t have that power), but with the little powers we do have we would want to save those few thousands who have scheduled to go for this movie this weekend by asking them to think again and if you still decide to go for it, then stop thinking all together.

Verdict: Kal Kaun Dekhega?
