The line that
distinguishes between obscene and entertainment is fast blurring in Indian
Cinema. Once what could have been called a sleazy movie (The Dirty Picture),
wins a National Award, a movie filled with profanity (Delhi Belly) grosses
approx 92 crs, and not to forget the highly anticipated debut of a porn star in
Jism-2.
The list is
endless, so success of these movies can’t be called a fluke, so have we became
more open minded to accept this kind of cinema or is it some kind of suppressed
emotions that is being touched by these movies, the answer probably lies
between the two extremes.
However by the
time we get to a conclusion, reality is more movies of this kind will come to
cinema halls near your home. And without becoming a morale judge about its
impact on society, especially children, I would like to focus on another
important aspect of this movie i.e. entertainment.
Kya Super Kool
Hain Hum, comes as a sequel to 2005 hit Kya Kool Hain Hum, which in itself
maybe called the pioneer in sex comedies in India. The characters are different
from the original, and apart from Ritesh Deshmukh, Tushar Kapoor and Anupam
Kher a couple of actors from the original are casted in this movie.
KSKHH is much
more explicit in its content than the original, the story at best could be
called as absurd and at worst as pathetic. But to be honest nobody expected a
story from this movie, the expectation was of raw entertainment coupled with adult
jokes, and the director has performed this job to perfection, but believe me it
would become difficult for you to laugh at them if your family is sitting with
you.
However the
movie remains true to its basic setting throughout its running time and jokes
and punches keeps on coming, the music is good, however the movie requires some
trimming in the first half as well as, the song ‘Hum to hai cappuccino’ could
have been easily chopped. Performance wise the overall cast has worked fine,
Ritesh and Tushar complement each other throughout the movie, and even the
leading ladies have got decent roles.
Ekta Kapoor may
be known for her 'saas bahu' serials, but as a movie producer she is a lot more
daring, ‘Love Sex or Dhokah’, ‘The Dirty Picture’ being prime examples of her
attitude, and even in this movie, she has boldly made fun of a lot of other
movies, which is more or less unprecedented in India, especially look for the
spoof of Ra.One.
On the whole,
KSKHH delivers what was expected out of it, watch it, but alone!
Rating. ***1/2
