Kismat Konnection a review!!

Its been a long time since I wrote down something, a whole lot of stories to tell and share but guess I've been busy .... aaaahh .. who am I kidding I've just been too lazy to blog.

Kismat Konnection well where do I start. Firstly before going to this movie please forget that you have ever watched "Jab We Met", with that out of your head the movie is much more watchable.

Aziz mirza the director in an interview on Zoom( yes the one where rakhi sawant has a talk show ) said that Kismat Konnection was a FRESH love story. The only thing I found fresh here was that there wasn't the usual rain scene where love blossoms between the hero and heroine, nor were there any of the usual hungama that the parents won't agree or any such similar age old plots. For a take on fresh there aren't any parents invovled at all :)

The other part which has been so talked about is the "fresh" new jodi Shahid and Vidya. Lets get one thing clear Vidya is a much more mature/older looking woman when compared to Shahid who looks very very young. In a way I shouldnt have any complains here cause thanks to Aziz Mirza's selection I won a bet with a friend for lunch/dinner, the bet being that the movie would be "a younger man older woman" love story. Be warned there are some scenes where in Vidya actually looks like Shahid's mom or aunt ... eeeeeeWWWWWW!!!( the theatre practice scene and the scene where Shahid proposes ).

An interesting or irritating part of the movie is that whenever Vidya's face comes up on the screen there is a sudden breeze that comes out of nowhere and blows only over her to make only her hair go all over the place!! I have to say a very explicit show of freshness. To add to the whole freshness is the totally thanda connection between Vidya and Shahid. To the end of the movie Shahid's preachy speech about global warming and selfishly profiteering business corporations, this surely is a first for love story. I mean seriously wouldn't a simple rain scene have made it much more better and easier for the public to digest but then again its fresh

Another thing is the movie's fashion statement. While Shahid's stylist has a done a brilliant job with his wardrobe selection on the other hand Vidya's .. the engangement wala scene .. the last song .. the theatre practice scene ... the pool table scene ... well just three words kept coming into my head .. "OH MY GOD"!!!!

A good thing in the movie was Vishal's character who plays Shahid's best friend "Hiten". In a way one could go to the extent that he saved the movie from a compelete bummer. The comedy that he and Shadid share are quite peaceful but again very similar to that in "Ishq Vishq". I shouldnt complain here its the only thing that pulls one through the movie.

Music wise .. "Aai Paapi (Tu Hai Meri Soniye)" is brilliant also just like in JWM the last no: in Kismat Konnection "Move Your Body Now" is quite amazing as a dance no:, both Shahid and Amjaad's brilliance no doubt!. Atif also has done an okay okay job with ‘Bakhuda Tumhi Ho’. Since we are talking about dance, another fresh point is that Vidya hardly appears in any of the dance no:s but in Soniye Ve (Dhak Dhak Dhak) where she does make an entry, the three words come back to me again .. again maybe its the freshness in the movie thats so obvious that I totally missed out on it and thats why this view!!

Wrapping it up Kismat Konnection is a very very very light entertainer, a simple love story without glitz, glamour, item numbers and a whole lot of freshness!!
