Kaise Kahoon Ke Pyaar Hai Movie Review
Kapleshwar Pictures' KAISE KAHOON KE… PYAAR HAI,
directed by Anil Kumaar Sharma, has a storyline
that's as old as the hills.
Karan [Amit Hingorani] is a college student by
day and thief by night. He is encouraged to lead
a dual life by his father [Dharmendra]. During
one such occasion, while attempting a robbery,
the father is shot dead by an officer [Sunny
Deol] and Karan gets arrested in the process.
After Karan is released, he takes an oath that
he will never commit theft again. But
circumstances force him to take to crime yet
again and he finds himself trapped for a murder
that he has not committed. Who is the actual
culprit?
The story of KAISE KAHOON KE… PYAAR HAI reminds
you of the formula-ridden films of the 1980s.
There's nothing novel in the film – either in
terms of content or execution. The twists and
turns in the plot, the characterisation of the
lead artistes, almost everything seems
old-fashioned.
The intention to showcase the talent of the
newcomer [Amit Hingorani] is so overpowering
that the remaining artistes are relegated to the
background –
Dharmendra's role is too small to register any
impact whatsoever.
Sunny Deol too gets a handful of sequences,
which is hardly in proportion to his
star-status.
Even Johny Lever has been cast in an
inconsequential role – in fact, the role
could've been essayed by anyone else. Ditto for
Shakti Kapoor.
Director Anil Kumaar Sharma has opted for a
theme that's completely outdated. In today's
age, cinema has progressed rapidly and a
lacklustre theme like this has already been
forgotten.
Viju Shah's music does have a couple of tuneful
tracks, but lack of promotion makes the numbers
forgettable. Cinematography is functional.
Dialogues are just about okay.
Amit Hingorani radiates sincerity and the boy
does a decent job considering his debut film. He
is at ease in stunts and dances, but needs to
work on emotional and dramatic sequences.
Sharbani Mukherji looks pretty and does her part
ably.
Both Dharmendra and Sunny Deol are wasted. In
fact, Sunny's fans will be disappointed to see
the actor in a miniscule role. Farida Jalal is
mechanical. Alok Nath is getting typecast.
Shakti Kapoor and Johny Lever look
disinterested.
On the whole, KAISE KAHOON KE… PYAAR HAI is a
poor fare. Lack of publicity will further add to
its woes.
