Kismat Konnection (2008)

You won't be disappointed!

Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.

The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.

Seriously not a product you would expect from somebody who has strings of hits to his credit namely Raju Ban Gaya Gentleman, Yes Boss, Chalte Chalte and my favourite Phir Bhi Dil Hain Hindustani. Clearly the midas touch is missing. After watching the first few reels, one can walk out and confidently write a review (like me here!). The idea is pretty stale – probably belonging to the roaring 70's (Sanjay Chhel, how did you manage to market the lousy stuff?).Aziz Mirza's Raju Ban Gaya & Yes Boss contributed towards numero uno status for SRK and with the same hope Shahid Kapur gives his best.Hey Baby, you need some serious advise on fashion ie. Vidya Balan at her awful best.Vishal Malhotra as a side-kick is becoming monotonous in his la Rajendranath roles.Om Puri is wasted.The lucky mascots donning the narrators and fortune teller hats don't help either ie. SRK and Juhi.Music by Pritam is good with a few catchy fusion mix numbers.There is no good reason to base the story in Canada. Any city from India would do. Old age home idea is plagiarised from Lage Raho Munnabhai.PS: Will I finish the rest of the movie? Hope not!

The movie is really fun to watch it's not the typical Hindi movie shahid really done great job with this project loved his acting the dancing was brilliant the plot is simple with no over acting from vidya or shahid yes he do look like srk in the movie with the hair and the director who only worked with srk how could we not compare him with shahrukh but he done it his way Guys u really have 2 stop comparing him with srk some said it's a srk movie but it's a shahid movie live with it . if you want to have fun and dance in ur seat watch the movie u won't regret it :)

fun filled film...good for a Sunday evening a few things which i thought the director missed..and a few things that could have been avoided1. the film starts with shah rukh khan's narration...but when he comments on the house number of the character Raj malhotra..he says NO.626...but clearly..the house number displayed is NO.617..lol 2. repetition of events...two many meeting scenes..with Mr.Gill 3. repetition of dialogues...for the lead character's friend.. 4. costume and hair do for vidya balan could have been better...some times you wonder which one of the two has longer hair...vidya/shahid 5. the plot in canada was unnecessary...and a Indian community centre with chronic patients..in canada.anyways...its watchable...i took a British, non-Hindi speaking friend to watch this film...and she enjoyed it and even found it funny. 6.5/10

Finally, after many months, I climbed on a bus and went to see a movie in its first release weekend. A number of things drew me to see it: Jab We Met was a good movie, so I wanted to see if Shahid was continuing his momentum. Wanted to see how Shahid and Vidya worked together. And was drawn by stories I read about Juhi's role.Well, Juhi was just great. Boman Irani had a cameo role and was appealing. Om Puri did his role flawlessly. Shahid and Vidya do make a dandy couple, maybe not QUITE Shahid and Amrita, but very good.My problems were really with the screenplay. It was very uneven to me. In a few moments I thought it very good. But in a lot of moments I thought it was not well written. They were trying for zany comedy and didn't quite make it.So its hard to give it a rating. I felt the cast tried very hard to make an inferior screenplay great. But I just didn't come away feeling the way I did after other recent movies like Jab We Met. So 6/10.
