'Kyon, Ho Gaya Na'

By Nitika Desai
Film critic, ApunKaChoice.Com




When you have Bollywood’s most desirable couple in the leading role, supported by a superstar like Amitabh Bachchan, the expectations of the viewers are naturally high. Debutant director Samir Karnik has made an ambitious attempt, but not good enough to engage a viewer for the entire movie’s duration.

At


the base of every good movie, there lies a thought-provoking story. That is exactly what is missing in Kyon! Ho Gaya Na. Samir is technically sound and knows well the nitty-gritty of filmmaking, but he is not an engaging storyteller.

The movie begins on a promising note (with the opening car race) but then a repetitive dose of songs act as speedbreakers into the story. Even the jokes and the fun-stuff shown in the movie is puerile and superficial.

The chemistry between Ash and Vivek may be groovy in real life, but in the movie there is hardly any vibe of love visible between the two. On the other hand, they look quite comfortable in the first half playing two characters with different opinions about love, life and marriage. But when the traces of love happening between the two begin to appear in the second half, you can detect the lack of real emotions in their chemistry.

Mr. Bachchan puts a lot of energy into the story with his buoyant portrayal of a man young at heart. Om Puri chips in beautifully for his part and Sunil Shetty’s presence in the last half adds some vigor to the story. Dia Mirza makes a cameo appearance of just one scene.

All in all, Kyon! Ho Gaya Na would have fallen flat had it not been for the presence of its motley star cast.

Worth Watching Once Only
