We all know how item numbers are brought in to spice things up. But how would you refer to it when the item numbers remain the sole reason to watch a movie.
Just last year, Kya Love Story had Kareena do a rocking item number and once that was over, so did everything good about hte movie. This time the makers do not make that mistake, but keep the item numbers featuring SRK and Hrithik Roshan for the latter half of the film. And as if that was not enoug, get Rakhi Sawant for one bit.
But the inevitable question needs to be asked...what was Roshan Sr. thinking backing up this project? Filmkraft seemed to have been going in the right track and with the in-house super star Hrithik was churning out back to back superhits and all of them daringly ambitious. Therefore it is all the more surprising why Rakesh Roshan decided to back up a script like that of Krazzy 4.
The plot is essentially about the four patients from a mental asylum. Raja (Arshad Warsi), Dr Mukherji (Irfan Khan), Daboo (Suresh Menon) and Gangadhar (Rajpal Yadav) all are suffering from one mental disorder or the other, and are under the treatment of Dr. Sonali (Juhi Chawla).
Dr Sonali who isnt your conventional doctor, have various unconventional treatment techniques. One of them is to teach them about team spirit, by taking them to a live cricket match between India and England. Why it will not work on TV , I wonder.
However this field trip goes wrong, when Dr Sonali is kidnapped leaving the four patients alone in the city. Now the four has to find out what happened to their doctor and save her.
To put things in the right place, first of all , this one has a script that is absolutely not funny. Being promoted as a laughriot, this one is anything but that. Instead by trying to bring some satire sense into the proceedings, they decide to bring in the 'heart' that makes comedies like the Munnabhai a charming product. However this one in doing so, forget what it started out as -a comedy.
So with the makers forgetting the comic element, what we are left is with a rather lame and tame storyline which cannot even qualify to be a thrilling one either. There was nothing crazy going around here except for the title. All this flaws after even importing a script from a Hollywood comedy - DREAM TEAM.
Surely then the blame has to fall on the heads of writer Ashwani Dheer who fails to impress. The man behind the super successful comedy series Office Office, brought a loud silly caper called ONE TWO THREE last month, and now comes up with another dud called KRAZZY 4.
The actors do their bit with whatever was on their plate. Rajpal Yadav, Irfan Khan and Arshad Warsi do their earnest best in portraying their characters well. Suresh Menon, turns to be the most impressive of the lot, inspite of having almost no dialogues. Juhi, Diya Mirza also puts in decent efforts.
We have a music department that is outrageously horrendous. Barring the controversial track for which now Ram Sampanth has stepped forward, Rajesh Roshan fails to come up with anything worthy of the banner that his family members have worked hard to revive.
This Krazzy 4 is unfortunately a big time bore!
MoviemagiK rates it 1.5 outta 5
THE PANEL ROOM
Despite huge expectations, Krazzy 4 fails to live up to its fun image. The lazy script to do justice to any of the talents involved and ends up as a huge waste of time and investment for everyone involved.
For all its naivete, it could actually have been quite charming. Except, um... it's just not funny. REDIFF 1.5/5
It rests on a thin plot, but the makers have tried to package the proceedings with entertaining stuff from Scene A to Z. Indiafm 3/5
it's a khichdi of cheap humour, unimpressive acting, and a directionless plot. IBNLIVE 1/5
