Such a frustrating disappointment

Don't Believe the Hype

Absolutely the worst movie.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

I am a huge movie buff and I can sit through any movie. I usually find the silver lining in any crap movie. I am a big movie analyst. But this film left me zapped. It offers nothing. Poorly acted, same old concept of revenge. Famous actors given filthy roles. Dialogue is pathetic. Did not expect this from Subhash Ghai

Karma,Kalicharan, Saudagar, Khalnayak etc., are some of the movies which we need to remember while watching Subash Ghai's KAANCHI, since it is the only way we can forgive him for making this disaster.The only explanation could be that this movie might have been conceived in the early 80's with someone like Rekha or Madhuri Dixit in the lead and for some reason it did not take off-otherwise there is simply no rational explanation, why the showman could have even managed to think of this subject now in 2014.Kaanchi (Mishti-looks like a cross between Rani Mukherjee and Mandakini) is "Goan ki not so boli bali ladiki" who shrieks, screams and rants with a shrill voice and wears the same nauseating outfit 80% of the movie, is betrothed to her childhood sweetheart Binda (Karthik Tiwari) a local fitness trainer.Enter Sanjeev Kakda (Rishab Sinha) , a painter who falls head over heels for Kaanchi, who does not reciprocate and friendzones him. Following the shrewd Mr. Kakda Jr. (Rishi Kapoor)'s advise, Sanjeev murders Binda in cold blood leaving Kaanchi baying for revenge.Kaanchi takes the help of another childhood friend Bagula (Chandan Roy Sanyal), a crooked policeman and brings the Kakda's to task.Mishti is hot, sexy and extremely desirable-till she opens her mouth, that's when the illusion breaks. She does have great expressive eyes and good acting skills but someone gave the wrong idea to this lady that raving and ranting is the only way she can deliver a good dialogue.Kartik Tiwari, according to Subash Ghai was picked up after auditioning 1000 boys-even though he acted in PYAAR KA PUNCHNAMA-guess the other 999 boys must be thanking their luck after watching the blink and you will miss him role.Rishab Sinha is good as the eccentric painter, but it would have worked wonders if his character would have been written with lot more care.Rishi Kapoor as usual is excellent in negative role, and he proves that he still packs a punch even if it is a mundane script.Mithun Chakraborthy is in a sorry role- a role which could as well be written out of the script and still would not make any difference to the story. He deserves better roles other than the roles which a Mahesh manjrekar or a pramod moutho could have done as well.Subash Ghai's flops also had wonderful music and Ismail Durbar lets him down on this one. If they thought that "Kambal ke Aandar" would become another "Choli ke Peeche" or "saat saheli" then they were sadly mistaken. None of the songs are even memorable or hummable.The screenplay and the editing were also not much to be written about and feel sorry for the showman. Sir! We know you are really capable of delivering masterpieces, we will still forgive you if you can gift us a masterpiece like you used to in days of yore.

I am so glad I went to see this movie... A great story of true Love caught up in corruption and politics, with a real message to the young that is trying to put out a message to them to revolt against the SYSTEM of corruption, and all with a cracking cast to boot. The first half of the movie is set in a beautiful village in Nainital, where you would expect the locals to tow the line when corrupt land developers come into town. Here you see Rishi Kapoor introduced and as always has a presence you always love to be a part of. To me Rishi in whatever he does is like seeing and an old friend and I often think why can't we see more of him on screen, so I can revisit that old friendship again. He shows his enjoyable quirky nature and timing, even on subtle levels that show how seasoned he is. A supreme performer. Well his son(Rishabh Sinha) falls in love with a local woman Kaanchi(Mishti) that has her true heart on a local boy(Kartik Tiwari), she has grown up with. Here Kaanchi's love is tested but her real heart comes through in the end. As usual Bollywood comes through with great love scenes that only they know best how to do. Hollywood obscure approach to Love never seems to come close these days. However his OBSESSION takes over and because he can't get what he wants decides on the unspeakable. Here the movie comes to the point of the story where the law, news media, politicians who are driven by a corrupt SYSTEM fall over and cover up. Even families are resigned to the fact of what can we do to change and seek justice.Well they have met there match with Kaanchi, who won't give in and decide to try to set things right. At this point let me say with fervor how enjoyable is it to see Mishti on screen. Mishti is personality PLUS and every scene of her on screen is like a magnet pulling you into her magic. The only other actress with this pull to me is Rani and if you want to feel that world that transcends acting then this movie will be a breath of fresh air for you.After the INTERMISSION the second half of the movie doesn't disappoint, we find ourselves in MUMBHAI and Kaanchi cleverly infiltrates the dangerous and sleazy world of corruption at all levels and stops at nothing to expose the world of Corruption. This story has impact on many levels and her determination as a woman to achieve what everyone else decides to give up is inspirational. The scene of Kaanchi's mother coming to try and convince her to return to the village, but again being refused shows emotionally how deep her determination had to go to achieve success in the end. Again I am glad I did see this movie, and all in all a great movie. Highly Recommended.

The showman re-creates his magic of powerful cinema again. But this time with issue of women-empowerment.Beautifully captured scenes. Songs, especially Tu Hi Sab Kuch Re are melodious. Debut performances are excellent. Mishti's varied spectrum of acting is just worth applauds.Chandan Roy Sanyal again shines and its good that he gets a meaty role especially in 2nd half, almost of a 2nd lead. Rishi Kapoor and Mithun are decent. Rishi Kapoor is uninhibited in his Vijay Mallya inspired corrupt businessman character. Mithun Chakrobarthy again shines. Beautiful cinematography. Crisp editing.Worth watching for sake of old times!
