Karz Review – Karzz Movie Review
Himesh Reshammiya is back with Karzzz and yet again as a Music Director, Singer and obviously the main protagonist. The movie directed by Satish Kaushik of Tere Naam fame also stars Urmila Matondkar, Shweta Kumar, Bakhtiyaar Irani, Danny Denzongpa, Dino Morea, Raj Babbar and many more!
Reincarnation movies have rarely failed in Bollywood. Right from the yesteryear Karz to Karan Arjun to the more recent Om Shanti Om.. all have struck gold at the box office. Can Himesh Reshammiya’s Karzz remake follow the same path?
Monty (Himesh Reshammiya) is a amazingly popular rockstar, with a fan following that most would dream of. One fine night at a party, Monty meets Tina. At first sight, both fall madly in love with each other. Tina though, leaves the party and returns to her hometown. Soon during one of his shows, he gets into a trance while playing those high notes. Visuals of a beautiful girl with her man, a temple, a palace and a plane crash flash in his mind… all of which leads to a collapse on stage.
Monty takes a break and goes away to Kenya where he finds Tina and also the Mansion! The rest of the tale is about how Monty rediscovers his identity from his previous life to take revenge on those who cruelly killed him.
Karzz Review
Karzz is a Himesh Reshammiya overdose. Its gets monotonous to sit through a movie which has Himesh in almost every frame; either singing, dancing or quite simply hamming his way through. Although the extremely confident star does deserve credit for the effort he has put into the making of the film, he unfortunately can’t act, over the top soon as the scene gets a tad bit emotional. If Aap Ka Surroor had Himesh in just one expression throughout, here we have him in about 2 and half expressions! He managed to extract something out of the pale looking audience, just before the climax, most were in splits when Himesh leaps high in the air to confront one of the villains, infact the action sequences throughout are quite funny to say the least.
Karzz is like one of those Mithun Chakraborty B grade action movies of the 80s targeted mainly towards Himesh’s hardcore fan following based in the interiors of India. The pace is slow, so slow that it could put you into deep slumber. The songs, composed and sung by Himesh himself, lack variety. Ek Haseena Thi, is the only track that stands out.
Urmila Matondkar is poor in the important scenes and guess I noticed a wee bit more of Urmila’s upper torso than most did. Shweta Kumar looks beautiful, but her role demands no scope for histrionics. Danny Denzongpa is fine. Bakhtiyaar Irani is good. Gulshan Grover has a very small role with no dialogues. Dino Morea again has nothing much to do.
Overall, Karzz is a below average product. If your a die-hard Himesh Reshammiya fan, go for it. For the rest, its a big no-no! Business wise, the movie should do well in the smaller towns, but probably will be rejected by the multiplex audience.
Rating: 
Poor
Other notes: The mutliplex I watched the movie in, was about 10% full, which is quite shocking even for a 11 AM morning show.

Crap Crap Crap, it was tough to sit throughout the movie, the older version was fantastic,Shweta does not have the heroine material at all, only Urmila’s presence on the screen made watching the movie worthwhile, but as all the focus was on Himesh it made Urmila,s performance look weak.There is a song after every 5 mins???. Himesh we like to hear songs & not come to theatre to watch songs, instead take out albums & we will watch u perform but plz do not act in films u will lose out on your popularity. My Rating is 0.

Original Karz is one my top 10 fav oldies n got it in my dvd collections. It was a brilliant classic from Subash Ghai, as well as a hearttouching romantic story.
But most thing that dissatisfy me in this new one is its title ending with zz…its really hopeless. Satish must have realised this b4 handling this project.
Cybersupam: (October 18, 2008 at 12:39 pm)
Anyway, let the audiences criticise or appreciate it I must have to spend some bucks on it so that I can compare it with the original Karz.

I don’t need to watch it.. the trailer says it’s a crap, even spending 1/2 a minute is too much for a movie who’s starring ( Himesh Reshamiya)! what I’m feeling sorry for is Urmila who is a good actres, and in the trailer of this movie, I could feel that her performance wasn’t that good.. so did someone force her to do it?!! Maybe!!

The BIGGEST comedy of the year!
I can’t remember laughing so much AT a movie in years! Every frame in which Himesh is present made us laugh our guts out in the cinema hall!
Watch it, and laugh at its atrocity and mediocrity! Himesh – King of Unintentional Comedy!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

It was very nice movie. Himesh’s acting was good and Urmila was also looking good
ayesha: (October 20, 2008 at 8:38 am)
yet to watch the movie, but seems from the movie review the movie is crap, so may’s well not to watch. sorry himesh.
Vaibhav Gupta: (October 20, 2008 at 10:47 am)
Karzz is the fantastic movie, Satish Kaushik direction is superb and there is a tremendous improvement in all aspects in himesh’s performance, he prove himself again as a no.1 rockstar of the country.
Perhaps he is the only star in the country who can attract the people individually on his carissma,
Music of karzz is outstanding, the only thing which can be improved is screenplay of the film..
beyond that Karzz is a must watch alltogether…..
well done himeshji;-0
**** OUT OF *****
joyson: (October 20, 2008 at 11:09 am)
sounds like shit….!!!! himesh needs to shoot himself, i’d have done that if murder was legal!
one more thing… never imagined that there could be a ‘11 pm morning show’!!!

hats off too you Himesh, you did a lot better than i expected. i thought you would go the same way as Sonu Nigam – he really could not act, but you proved us wrong. you have an audience that loves you and your music – no harm in making them happy. no superstar including Abhishek, Kareena, Saif, Akshay etc. were perfect in the first few movies they made – we don’t expect it of you either. all the best you will get there. congratulations on your movie becoming a super blockbuster.
Fathiya: (October 20, 2008 at 12:26 pm)
If Sonu Nigam was a bad actor, but his voice is the best best best voice in India.. I really love his voice, his voice is even better than Kishore, Ravi, Mukesh, in the past, he is the best singer, so he is (excused) if he tried to do some movies and failed ( the singers normally, male and female, don’t have the good look to be actors, that’s also a fact, they must stick to their main performance as singers only)
its a poor movie,only the songs are good,himesh dont know how to act but he is still trying,i hope his next movie kajrare will be good,urmila performance was also very poor she is a fine actress,i dont know why she cant act in this film,new girl was also wasted rest of the cast was also poor,only 1 star out of 5.
