There is laughter galore in 'Kyaa Super Kool Hain
Hum' but here is some caution - it is for those who totally acknowledge,
agree and accept the genre laid out for them and are happy to pick and
choose from some out and out crudity that is spread wide open.
Hence for those who have issues with jokes related to
sex, caste, creed, colour or social standing may well stay away because
frankly, the film is not meant for them in the first place. However
those who mainly want their two and a half hours in theatres to go by in
a jiffy with funny jokes and double entendres that are actually as
straight as it gets, KSKHH is a good bet.
It is actually tough to even arrive at a basic
synopsis of the film. Is it about two struggling youngsters Riteish
Deshmukh and Tusshar Kapoor? Is it about their love life, or the lack of
it, when they come across Sarah-Jane Dias and Neha Sharma? Is it about a
father (Anupam Kher) who goes insane and starts believing in pugs being
his parents? Is it about the pug itself which is forever on Viagra? Or
is it about a series of joke books that came writer-director Sachin
Yardi's way who was as overjoyed as a kid in a candy bar who struggled
to decide what to pick and choose?
Perhaps that was indeed the case because at the end
of it all, 'Kyaa Super Kool Hain Hum' turns out to be a film which is
basically a series of gags, double entendres, extended scenes depicting
comedy of errors, really short takes which could well be limited
characters Twitter jokes or standalone pieces that may be a status
update on Facebook. Now this wouldn't have been possible if not for the
comic timing of Riteish Deshmukh and Tusshar Kapoor who have time and
again shown their hold over this genre.
On the other hand it is actually a pleasant surprise
to see Neha as well as Sarah to be actually enjoying a good screen time.
One would have expected the girls to be mainly decorative pieces with
'kool' boys picking up the best lines and scenes. However at the core of
it, the film is basically a love story of these two couples which means
the girls never really go out of the picture.
Moreover they play their part well and convincing
while also indulging in reasonable skin show that keeps all segments of
audience happy. While it would be hard to ignore Sarah's walk in a
bikini, Neha would gain some fans for her cute-n-hot girl act.
What doesn't quite succeed though are two episodes -
the ones featuring Chunky Pandey and Kevin Dave respectively. Former
still has some part to play in the film's plot but has been handled
rather amateurishly. On the other hand one wonders what really made the
makers hold on to Kevin's part at the script level itself. Totally
unnecessary.
Same is the case with the songs as well. Despite
being tuned well with 'Dil Garden Garden' being the pick of the lot,
each of the four songs is totally avoidable. In fact they only slow down
the film's pace at regular intervals. Also, though the film's pace is
more or less even, the interval point isn't really the kind that makes
you roll with laughter. Moreover there is a portion in the middle of the
second half that just doesn't work despite the efforts of injecting one
liners.
Thankfully the pre-climax and climax sequences are
strong again and Sachin deserves good marks for not allowing the film to
get into the Priyadarshan/Anees Bazmee category. Instead, there are
jokes that continue till the very end, hence bringing KSKHH to a very
satisfying end with some roaring laughter all over again.
With no storyline whatsoever, it would be a challenge
for any filmmaker to spin something enjoyable that manages to grab your
attention in bits and parts at least. However this Sachin Yardi film
does take up the challenge and keeps the viewer entertained for most
part of its 140 minutes length.
This is remarkable, considering the fact that the
basic plot is so paper thin. At the end of it all, the film does make
you laugh with quite a few jokes reverberating in your mind even as end
credits roll.
