KRAZY 4 REVIEW

KRAZY 4 REVIEW

It would be wrong to slot KRAZZY 4 as a comedy. Sure, KRAZZY 4 remains
faithful to the ongoing trend of providing laughs at the oddest of
things, but it's more of a masala fare that's reminiscent of the 1980s
cinema. Packaged in a modern avatar, of course.

A film like KRAZZY 4 is easy on your brains. It rests on a thin plot,
but the makers have tried to package the proceedings with entertaining
stuff from Scene A to Z. Sometimes it works, at times it doesn't. But
the pros outweigh the cons in this case. Also, let's get one thing
straight. This isn't path-breaking or ground-breaking cinema by any
chance. It's targeted at the aam junta, not connoisseurs of cinema.

Also, one of the trump cards… sorry, make it two, are the dance
numbers filmed on the two superstars -- SRK and Hrithik. Just these
two numbers are enough to satiate the hunger of an avid moviegoer.
Even the Rakhi Sawant track is an asset, since it's hugely popular
with the desi junta [like 'Main Aayee Hoon U.P.-Bihar Lootne' and
'Beedi'].

In a nutshell, KRAZZY 4 isn't the kind of cinema that would invite
debates or discussions. Its intention is to make people leave the
cineplex with a smile and it succeeds in its endeavour.

Arshad Warsi is Raja: Truly the angry young man! His blood boils, his
fists clench and he's ready to beat the daylights out of anyone who
upsets him in some way.

Irrfan Khan is Dr. Mukherjee: He has decided that he's the Captain of
the team! But so obsessed is he by the need to be in control of a
situation, he doesn't realise he's totally lost control of himself and
his mind.

Rajpal Yadav is Gangadhar: He's marching to a beat only he can hear;
he's fighting for a cause that's long over. But in his mind he's still
fighting for Swaraj.

Suresh Menon is Dabboo: He's everybody's pet and however far gone the
rest may be, when it comes to Dabboo, everybody's protective. Even if
he can hear and understand, Dabboo refuses to speak. And nobody knows
why!

Dr Sonali [Juhi Chawla] treats them all. She has faith that all it
needs is a little time and lots of patience to make them part of the
mad, mad, mad world out there…

Rakesh Roshan's story takes a leaf out of ONE FLEW OVER THE CUCKOO'S
NEST, while Ashwani Dhir's screenplay tries to pack everything that's
available on the shelf. The first hour is quite entertaining, with a
few sequences compelling you to flex your facial muscles.

But the problem lies in its second hour. More specifically, the
writing relies on the age-old stuff to reach the finale. Too many
cinematic liberties have been undertaken in this hour, just to reach
the culmination and it doesn't really work at times. Even the end
outside the hospital looks contrived.

Jaideep Sen shows a flair for comedy, but had the debutante director
opted for a slightly novel screenplay, it would've taken the film to
another level. A few comic scenes are well executed and in terms of
execution, Jaideep knows the grammar right.

Ashwani Dhir's screenplay may lack novelty, but the dialogues penned
by him are witty and enjoyable. Cinematography is nice. Rajesh
Roshan's music is up to the mark. The two tracks, filmed on the
superstars, are top notch and what enhances the effect are the
choreography and production design [of SRK track] and the visual
effects [in Hrithik track].

Arshad Warsi is the best of the lot. His character is bound to work
with the moviegoers. Irrfan's role doesn't offer him that much scope.
Yet, the actor enacts his part with precision. Rajpal Yadav is quite
funny at places. Suresh Menon is a surprise. He hardly utters one word
in the film, but he delivers with expressions.

Juhi Chawla doesn't get ample opportunity. Dia Mirza is efficient.
Zakir Hussain is okay. Rajat Kapoor is relegated to the backseat.

On the whole, KRAZZY 4 is slightly above the average mark, but the
brand [Rakesh Roshan] coupled with the presence of the two superstars
in its songs and of course, some great actors in comic roles should
ensure positive returns at the box-office.
