Kis Kisko Pyaar Karoon

Director: Abbas Mastan
Actors: Kapil Sharma, Kunal Roy Kapur, Elli Avram

Rating: 2.5 / 5

The film gives a jibe of a stupid comedy and it certainly is. But there's a difference. It has a stupid story but a decent comedy. Plot is utterly foolish but the focus here is only on comedy punches. It has many good humor lines that somehow supersede the foolishness. Biggest flaw here is that lot of times it was tried to create a serious environment. That was a blunder and went horrible with the movie flow. Worse part is that these things are bound to end in a sentimental way. That was the case here as well that brought the film down. Interestingly it ended again with very good humor and again I'll not take anything away from the scriptwriter as far as the comedy punches are concerned.

Kapil Sharma played his character very well and did a decent job. Rising above all was Kunal Roy Kapur who nailed his full screen presence. He was perfect throughout and never left his character. Other actors including four girls were ok and fortunately no one was bad.

Abbas Mastan doing this kind of movie was a surprise. They were very clear what they were making and their motive of showing only comedy was visible. I'll suggest them to put some sense and story in future if they really want to continue this genre.

Music was one of the biggest hurdles and turn off here.

Overall, a good comic flick with focus only on humor and nothing else.

Katti Batti

Director: Nikhil Advani
Actors: Kangana Ranaut, Imran Khan

Rating: 2 / 5

Excitement was all spread when movie was promoted using Kangana's flavor. An intended romantic comedy that falls on most of the stairs and never able to climb. It has an average start where all characters just manage to hold you. Unfortunately comedy was tried in most scenes but laughing on even the best joke was hard. Although a slight good part was that you'll not cry at the worst joke. The big problem was the second half where it was unnecessary stretched towards the end without any fun. Head-scratching moment comes when you just think it's done and a twist in the tale merely to ensure happy ending extends it for another 20 minutes.

Kangana's screen presence is one of the few bearable things that make you sit throughout the length of the movie. She gave whatever she can deliver. It's just that the script and director didn't have anything for her. Imran was as usual irritating and incapable of pulling anything off. Other characters are not even worth mentioning although they delivered an average performance.

Nikhil Advani once again shows that his priority is not the content but the looks of the whole movie setup. He again failed to concentrate on the better part of the directorial responsibilities.

Music was below average and not mind scorching.

Overall, a bad cliché script that wastes Kangana's charm.

Welcome Back

Director: Anees Bazmee
Actors: Nana Patekar, Anil Kapoor, Paresh Rawal, John Abraham, Dimple Kapadia, Shruti Hasan, Naseeruddin Shah, Shiney Ahuja

Rating: 2.5 / 5

Earlier Welcome that didn't get very well with me initially, over the time it rose up to entertain with good amount of funny moments that it had. That made some expectations and excitement for this sequel. Movie starts with almost the same theme as earlier but never feels repetitive. A good amount of hard work is done by the dialogue writer to ensure good funny bones with same ingredients as before. You'll get a feeling that you are being served a different drink in the same bottle. Although the drink tastes same but fortunately it tastes good. It has many good punches but no bad ones. Sometimes the rhythm becomes less funny but still gives a good time pass.
Worst part was the ending. Very religiously they stuck to the earlier theme of having a bad ending as well. If ending would have been shortened and improvised upon, smiles would have been wider.

Nana Patekar, Anil Kapoor and Paresh Rawal once again picked the whole movie on their shoulders. All three characters had some good dialogues that they made awesome by their amazing dialogue deliveries. John was not much in his character and Shruti was very bad. Others are not worth mentioning.

After sting of bad movies for so many years, Anees Bazmee came up with something better this time. Hard work was seen but still he needs to pull up his socks to get things right.

Music was very poor and didn't get along with anything in the movie. First part had many good song sequences.

Overall, a good comedy sting with good dialogues by good actors.
