Kal Kissne Dekha - Movie Review

Kal Kis(i)ne Dekha?

The male protagonist of the movie has the gift of clairvoyance. We wish the makers had it too; to fore-see the disaster this movie is! Really didn't anyone notice that the movie was trash while making it?

Nihal SIngh from Chandigarh (Jackky Bhagnani) has the gift of seeing the future and he is obsessed with science. So he comes to Mumbai to study at a university called Science College (seriously). There he makes friends with the nerds and is ragged by Kabir (Akshaye Kapoor) and hottie Meesha (Vaishali Desai). Two-faced professor Verma (Rishi Kapoor) becomes the naive boy's mentor. With his gift he wins the heart of the hottie and her gang. All is well until he has the responsibility of foiling the plans of some terrorists led by Marshall (Rahul Dev) and his sidekick played by wannabe Rachna Shah (her name wasn't mentioned).

Now here comes the fun part of ripping the movie apart. I was lucky enough to go with my mother and we had a ball laughing at how silly and ridiculous the movie was. Vivek Sharma shouldn't make movies anymore as he has no sense of direction. Sample this towards the end of the movie when the hero has to find the heroine and the location of the bombs he starts crooning Tere Bina which is a patchwork of the songs and scenes from the movie. The cast breaks into a song every 15 minutes and they aren't very nice songs. His gift has a mind of its own; it does not save him from being beaten up by the villains and sometimes his vision comes too late. So what is the point?

Every scene is a showcase of Jackky's skills.The bike race and edge of the cliff scene was a chance for him to show off his biking skills and that he isn't afraid of heights the songs to show that he can dance etc.

At one point my mom commented that it was worse than a 70's film. Riteish's and Rajpal Yadav's cameos are downright annoying.

Then there is the done-to-death dialogue of 'dil over dimaag' and 'science needs an explanation for everything.'

This is Rishi Kapoor's trashiest role to date. His fans will be heart-broken and disappointed when they see it. We wonder why he did this movie.
The college hostel and locations are beautiful. The picturesque locales of New Zealand Bangkok and Pune all make up Mumbai. The makers expect us to believe that!

Jackky Bhagnani is confident and cute. He has a bright smile and looks very tall and thin. He has an amiable screen presence and acts well. Fair lovely and leggy Vaishali Desai looks very pretty and enacts her character well. None of them can be taken seriously just hand-over your candyfloss and make them act.

This is the first film to release after the strike but the theatre was half full and the audience comprised mainly of media people and their relatives. My mother just happened to tag along for a breath of fresh air-conditoned air. She was missing the popcorn and soda I guess.

Kal Kissne Dekha is a brain-dead non-entertainer which jumps from one scene to another without an explanation. It is a waste of the producer's and your money. Don't bother seeing it. Kal I don't know about but aaj I will shamelessly deny having seen this film.
