Kya Super Kool Hain Hum (2012)

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
