It’s amazing how you can speak right to my heart ...
Without saying a thing, you can light up the dark...
It’s amazing how you can aptly use these lines to describe the expression in the eyes of Vidya Balan. Her smoky eyes speak a thousand words and light up the scenes in Kismat Konnection. Like Jaane Tu ya Jaane Na, Kismat Konnection too moves on familiar lines. There is nothing new in the story line – in fact, the story is somewhat predictable in the way it twists and turns.
However, two notable things about the movie are the chemistry between Raj Malhotra (Shahid Kapoor) and his best friend, Hiten Patel and of course between, Raj and Priya (Vidya Balan). However, I was left feeling disappointed with the characterization of Haseena Bano Rani (a special appearance by Juhi Chawla). While I do believe that Juhi was perfect for the role, I think that the Director should have worked harder on this character rather than let Juhi act out her Kurkure-act. Still, the character eked out a few laughs from the audience but frankly, I believe Juhi was wasted in this role.
Those of you who went to watch the movie expecting another Jab We Met would have been left severely disappointed – I went in with a fresh mind, harbouring no expectations from the movie (all due to the average reviews of the movie) and I was left pleasantly surprised at the end of this 2hr, 45 min flick! I liked the movie – it had a nice, feel good factor about it! And of course, Neeraj Shreedhar rocked with the title track.. The music was decent, with Bakhuda Tumhi Ho and Kismet Konnection (ae pappi) being the highlights! Go watch it, it’s pretty decent stuff and especially, if you can’t get tickets for The Dark Knight.
Footnote: While Shahid's dressing sense is immaculate throughout the movie, Vidya Balan's dressing sense slips from pretty okay to sheeeeee as we approach the climax! Seriously guys -- I'm not joking!
