Krazzy 4

Jaideep Sen's crappy 'Krazzy 4' is a headache, a very bad one. One may wonder how a movie that stars Arshad Warsi, Irfan Khan, Juhi Chawla and Rajpal Yadav can be so bad. Then again, can anyone expect anything good from Roshan's factory? Starting with the cast that got me interested to see this movie, none of them impress. Irfan Khan acts as if he's uninterested (why should he be otherwise?), Arshad Warsi terribly overacts, Rajpal Yadav is annoying, Zakir Hussain is the caricature bad cop, Diya Mirza is the whiny angry news-anchor girlfriend, Rajat Kapoor is miscast and Juhi Chawla barely has footage. There's hardly much comedy and the few jokes and 'skits' were not funny but only worsened the headache. Oh and in the end there's even a message: 4 crazy people are better than the sane people of the Indian population (cringe). The songs are truly abysmal, especially the Hinglish ones. Thankfully Hritik's baboon break-dance was in the end, so I didn't have to sit through that but Rakhi Sawant's item song is one of the sleaziest item songs in Bollywood. She's wearing a skirt so low that in one shot you can see her {censored} (ever heard of waxing?). This pretty much borders on pornography. I'm surprised this song goes unnoticed when people are quick to point fingers at Urmila for playing a prostitute in the item song of 'ki Aag'. Now what about the director Jaideep Sen? Well, did this film actually have a director? It looked like very bad improvisation by uninterested actors who were following a horrendously clichéd script. Don't be mislead by the cast. Avoid this one at all costs.

Krazzy 4 is one of those comedies that's not very funny in the first place. Irrfan Khan, Arshad Warsi, Rajpal Yadav and Suresh Menon play four mentally challenged patients who're taken to watch an India vs England cricket match because their psychiatrist Juhi Chawla thinks it might teach them a few things about team spirit. When Dr Juhi is mysteriously kidnapped however, our four protagonists are left to their own devices, roaming the streets unsupervised, with both cops and gangsters in hot pursuit. Blatantly ripped off from the Michael Keaton-Christopher Lloyd starrer The Dream Team, I'm willing to agree the plot of Krazzy 4 does inspire maybe three or four genuine laughs, but that's it, really that's just it. For the most part, the script is flat and unfunny, relying almost entirely on the four leads to save the day. That, unfortunately, is an impossible task even for talented actors such as these who pull faces, deliver clever one-liners, and try every trick in the book, but can't sadly rise above this severely flawed script. Usually even the worst films have at least some redeeming qualities, but where Krazzy 4 is concerned, it's difficult to understand exactly why this film was made. Didn't anyone concerned with the film notice that the script is incoherent? Didn't anyone realize that the humour is juvenile and slapstick and it's the kind of humour you've seen so many times before? Didn't anyone think of re-shooting all the dull bits so at least some part of the film might actually be watchable? The answer to all those questions is obviously no. Krazzy 4, if you ask me, is a fitting title for this film except that I'd like to change the number four to the number 12 or 13, or whatever number of crazy people are responsible for bringing this film to the screen. It's a shame that talented actors like Juhi Chawla, Irrfan Khan and Rajpal Yadav have been wasted in a thankless film like this which they will look back at years later and think of as a bad dream. If there's anything at all besides the end credits that brings a smile to your face while watching Krazzy 4, I'd have to say it's the two item songs in the film -- one each by Shah Rukh Khan and Hrithik Roshan. And to be honest, even the one with Rakhi Sawant isn't too bad. But these are alas, small pleasures in an otherwise miserable movie-going experience. A word here for Ashwani Dhir, the film's dialogue writer who holds the unique distinction of delivering a triple whammy of disasters like 1 2 3, U, Me Aur Hum and Krazzy 4 . Dhir's lines are amateurish and laboured and they're largely responsible for why none of these films worked for me. But blame has to be shared by the film's director Jaideep Sen whose treatment here is indifferent, showing neither artistic flair nor solid grip over screenplay. Because it's a khichdi of cheap humour, unimpressive acting, and a directionless plot. It's a tragedy disguised as a comedy that I wouldn't even wish upon an enemy.

Well I am not sure what the director had in mind while making this, but at least I got crazy after watching this movie, and I needed a sari-don. Though Irrfan and Rajpal are quite good in the movie, the weakest link is the storyline which has nothing to offer. And what a waste of talent of Juhi Chawla and Suresh Menon.

The movie promised to be good initially but it turned out to be pathetic, thanks to poor screenplay, non humorous dialogs and average direction.

The only saving grace in the movie were the few songs it had- especially Sharukh's item no. and Hrithik in the end. Go watch it at your own risk.

A movie from Raakesh Roshan definitely means a lot of expectations but unfortunately this doesn't live quite up to it and more so after hearing about the movie almost being stopped from release due to copyrights on a certain song and then being told that "King Khan" was upset with the Roshans and Hrithik coming out to deny it - basically all the hype.

Four men who are considered to be mentally unstable are on their way to watch a cricket match with their doctor, when suddenly she is kidnapped and the men try to locate her.

The movie, starring Juhi Chawla, Arshad Wasi, Diya Mirza, Irfan Khan, Rajpal Yadav, Suresh Menon and Rajat Kapoor, is a good concept and is also entertaining. But one can tell exactly what is going to happen in the next scene and it was obvious who the kidnapper was. But never the less, it is still entertaining. The item songs by Shah Rukh Khan and Hrithik Roshan are worth watching and waiting for (if you are ardent fans of theirs). But unfortunately, I can't say that for Rakhi Sawant's item song - not so catchy.

Incidentally, the movie was on the point of being stopped from release because of a particular issue as mentioned before and Raakesh Roshan had to pay the original artist / composer of the song, Ram Sampat 20 million Rupees.

Conclusion: Its an entertaining movie but not something that one can feel that one must watch.

A movie from Rakesh Roshan expected lot more than this script and dialogues. Juhi Chawla and Arsad Warsi's acting are wasted in this movie.

It is an entertainer but doesn't have excellent humour. Some parts are elongated unnecessarily. Music is not that appealing. The plot of four mental people running around the city to save their doctor who is kidnapped doesn't enthral you.It could have been made more interesting. Sharukh's item song is good but Hrithik steals the screen with his stunning dance.

Don't watch this movie if you like sense in movies..!!!!
