KRAZZY4


REVIEW
Krazzy 4 has created quite a buzz.. A few reasons to catch the movie..

* Undoubtedly, the main attraction of Krazy 4 is the item numbers performed by two of the biggest superstars in Bollywood, Hrithik Roshan and Shahrukh Khan. Rakhi Sawant too has an item number! All this in itself is worth the price of your ticket!
* The lead actors - Irrfan Khan, Arshad Warsi, Rajpal Yadav, Suresh Menon - are a bunch of extremely talented actors.
* Jaideep Sen, the debutante director of Krazzy 4, has been in the industry for a long time and assisted Rakesh Roshan in quite a few movies.

Story of Krazzy 4

Krazzy 4 is about four crazy people. Raja (Arshad Warsi) is very short tempered, he simply rips apart anyone who upsets him. Dr Mukherjee, is the captain of the Krazzy 4, obssesed to be in control of the situation, but doesnt realise he has lost control of his own mind. Dabboo (Suresh Menon) can hear, understand but doesnt talk even though he can, noone knows why. Gangadhar (Rajpal Yadav) believes he is a freedom fighter, fighting for his country for a cause that is long gone. Dr Sonali (Juhi Chawla) treats the Krazzy 4 in a mental hospital. She believes with a bit of patience and time the four can be a part of the society.

All hell breaks loose when, on the way to watch a cricket match, Dr Sonali is kidnapped and the Krazzy 4 are let loose. What happens next forms the rest of the movie…
Krazzy 4 Review

Let me make one thing clear. Krazzy 4 isnt an out-n-out comedy. Dont enter the movieplex expecting funny one liners, over the top mannerisms or non-sensical dialogues. Krazzy 4 is a situational comedy more like Jaane Bhi Do Yaaro, Golmaal (Hrishikesh Mukherjee movie, not the recent one). Although not even a patch of those classics, Krazzy 4 ensures you leave the movie hall with a smile. The length of the movie is just 2 hours. The first hour is highly entertaining and keeps you glued to your seats. Unfortunately, the second half disappoints. A few scenes like the Juhi Chawla and the cop scene and the sequences leading to the climax are simply hard to digest. The cinematic and creative liberties taken in last few reels of Krazzy 4, ruins the impact of the movie.

Debutante director Jaideep Sen has executed a few sequences with brilliance but its the script that lets him down, a director to look forward to in the future. The music by Rajesh Roshan is average. Break Free stands out, but unfortunately it belongs to Ram Sampath and not Rajesh Roshan! Cinematography and Camera work is good.

Amongst the performances, Rajpal Yadav rocks. His mannersims and comic timing is top notch. Arshad Warsi has a meaty role and delivers a good performance. Irrfan Khan is great in a limited role. Suresh Menon has no dialogues for most parts of the movie, expresses well through his eyes and expressions. Juhi Chawla is a treat to watch. Dia Mirza looks good, acts ably. Rajat Kapoor does well.

Now the Item Numbers.. Hrithik Roshan simply outshines the rest of them. Simply Mindblowing!! You gotta watch it on the big screen to believe it. Shahrukh Khan too dances to the same ‘Break Free’ song, the sets though outshine the item number, they are huge! Rakhi Sawant’s item number is good too.

Overall, Krazzy 4 is a above average movie. Good performances, well-made first half, average second half, super item numbers, few truly hilarious sequences make it worth atleast a watch at your nearest movieplex. At the box-office, the item numbers by two superstars should ensure a good opening. Could just cross the Hit mark.

Rating: ★★★☆☆ Worth a watch.
