Rating: 2.5 out of 5
The film might manage to keep you
entertained but it’s lame and laughable
climax spoils the fun
The world of small screen has given some big
stars to Bollywood. In fact, king of romance,
Shah Rukh Khan started his career from TV
shows. While in recent times a lot of TV stars
have tried their hands with films and failed, it is
popular comedian Kapil Sharma’s first shot at the
glitzy world of films. Kapil Sharma is making his
debut in films with the director duo Abbas
Mustan’s Kis Kisko Pyaar Karoon . With Varun
Sharma, Elli Avram and Arbaaz Khan as
supporting cast, will Kapil leave a lasting
impression as an actor? Lets check out the
review!
What’s it about:
Though the basic story of the film is not new to
us, there is a lot happening in the film thanks to
truckload of characters. I hope I don’t miss
anything important. Here it goes. Kumar Shiv
Ram Kishan (Kapil) is a man troubled by the ill
fate of three marriages. Due to some unfortunate
and often illogical turn of events, our hero finds
himself in situations that forces him to marry.
And to help him hide his other marriages from his
wives, he takes help of his lawyer friend Karan
(Varun Sharma). And just when you thought that
our hero has enough problems on his plate to
deal with, he also has a girlfriend Deepika (Elli
Avram) whom he truly loves and wants to marry.
What will happen now? How can anyone possibly
get out of this mess unscathed? Add a deaf don
cum brother in law, estranged parents, a typical
dim witted bai and an ever doubting future father
in law into the equation, and you get heady mix
of confusion and fun called Kis Kisko Pyaar
Karoon.
What’s good:
The biggest merit of Kis Kisko Pyaar Karoon lies
in the fact that it keeps you entertained. Sure, it
might seem a little over the top and at times
juvenile, but the film thankfully doesn’t bore you,
which is a huge plus point. Even though the basic
plot is same as Govinda’s Sajjan Chale Sasural,
there are enough characters and loads of
situational comedy that will help you overlook the
story’s lack of novelty. Kapil Sharma stands out
in his debut flick, playing the part of a man who,
day in day out, lives in the tension of managing
three wives. His nervous comic timing and his
ability to make a serious situation hilarious
benefits the film hugely. While you secretly pity at
Kapil’s state, one just can’t help but chuckle at
his plight. Kapil, even, shines in the dramatic
scenes and shows great promise as an actor.
Varun Sharma does justice to his role of Kapil’s
cheeky lawyer friend, who gets him out of
troubles. His jokes about science and Newton’s
laws infuses laughter. Even though he is playing a
stereotypical role of a deaf person of Bollywood
standards, Arbaaz Khan’s antics and his
dialogues are entertaining. Scenes like Kapil’s
attempts to hide from the prying eyes of Eli’s
father in a mall, where all his three wives are out
for shopping are hilarious and outstanding.
Manjari Fadnis’ repetitive one liner ‘Bhagwan
Sabko Tumhare Jaisa Pati De’ makes you enjoy
the underlined pun in it.
What’s bad:
While the comedy is good and the makers have
kept the proceedings entertaining, Kis Kisko Pyaar
Karoon is far from perfect. One major flaws of the
film is the complete lack of logic from start to
finish. How can anyone married to three women,
living in the same building, manage to escape for
so long without being caught? And how can these
wives be so dumb that even after becoming
friends with each other, they never come to know
the truth about their husbands ( or rather
husband)? And how does Kapil’s lawyer friend
Varun doesn’t know that polygamy is illegal in
India? The start of the film, where it is shown
how Kapil gets married thrice, is so illogical and
juvenile that I felt like the makers are questioning
the intelligence of the audience. The climax of the
film is so laughable and dumb that you can’t help
but feel that the makers are actually glorifying
polygamy. After Kapil calls his three marriages as
“hadsa” and convinces that his wives, his parents
and the society that he is innocent, by delivering
an utterly unconvincing speech, Eli Evram says
this,” Jis aadmi ne hadso se pyaar kiya, us aadmi
ke pyaar ko me ek hadsa nahi hone doongi.” And
I stood up and gave a standing ovation to this
dialogue which sums up the level of idiotic-ness
of this climax. And, oh please don’t get me
started about Elli Avram’s acting.
What to do:
If you are looking for having a few laughs at the
cinemas this week, and have the stomach to
digest a dumb comedy, then Kis Kisko Pyaar
Karoon is for you! Watch it for Kapil Sharma’s
impressive debut!
