Very close to reality
7 October 2006
When I first heard about the movie "Khosla Ka Ghosla", I thought it is yet another nonsensical comedy. But now after seeing the movie I feel that the makers of the movie could have done even better had they not used the current title. I don't say that the title is not apt for the movie but at first instance it gives a totally different impression of what the movie is going to be like than it actually is.

Kamal Kishore Khosla (Anupam Kher) is just another head of a middle-class family who spends his entire life's earning to buy a plot in Delhi. He wants to build a new house for his family that has his wife (Kiran Juneja), his elder son Balwant(Ranveer Shourie), his second son Chirounjilal (Parvin Dabas) and his daughter. Chirounjilal works for an MNC and is trying hard to get out of the country and his elder brother Balwant is just another unemployed big-on-plans self-proclaimed genius.

Boman Irani(Khurana) is a rich businessman who illegally takes possession of the plot of land that Khosla had bought for building his dream house. The estate agent who sold the plot to Khosla is a member of Khurana's team. The offer the agent makes on behalf of Khurana to Khosla is buying the plot at half the market value (the amount Khosla had already paid).

The movie is very close to reality. Many such incidents take place in Delhi NCR. I myself have heard about many such cases which were common when Gurgaon was not as developed as it is now.

Getting back to the movie, the rest of it shows how The Khoslas try to get back possession of their plot leaving no stone unturned and turn out to be successful too.

All the actors starting from Anupam Kher and Boman Irani to Navin Nishchol and Parvin Dabas have performed very well. And not to forget the quick-witted one-liners by Ranveer Shourie that compel you to giggle even in a movie like this.

K does not imply a HIT
12 August 2006
If the thought is that the title should start with 'K' for a hit then its wrong. You have a decent story, good star cast, great banner and then how come you end with a crap like KANK. I think it was sheer hard work.

Cheap comedy, overacting, dragging....I think in future such kind of movies should have Money-back Guarantee. It is just the idea on which the movie was based that I liked and was generous to vote a 1 for it. The music was good so another 1 point for it making it a total of 2/10.

Some of the scenes are just horrible and cheap. It was the most hyped movie of the year signifying how people were eagerly waiting for it, expecting it to be something classic but I must say it is a blunder.

I think it is the biggest flop of the year.

After Kaal and KANK I think the 'K' myth is also going to end and we will not see Karan's movies having title beginning with 'K'.

Suggestion : Please don't waste your time and money on this.
