Kuch Khattaa Ho Jaay | Movie Review

Director: G Ashok
Star Cast: Guru Randhawa, Saiee Manjrekar, Anupam Kher, Ila Arun
Rating: ⭐⭐⭐(3/5)

Synopsis:
In “Kuchh Khattaa Ho Jaay,” Heer Chawla (Guru Randhawa) navigates family pressure and his love for Iraa Mishra (Saiee Manjrekar), who is determined to pursue her dream of becoming an IAS officer. To avoid household responsibilities and focus on her studies, Iraa agrees to marry Heer and feign a pregnancy. However, misunderstandings arise, leading to a series of bizarre events that strain their relationship and test their resolve.

Review:
Vijay Pal Singh’s story lacks coherence and logic, while the screenplay by Raajj Salluja, Niket Pandey, Vijay Pal Singh, and Shobhit Sinha fails to compensate for its shortcomings. Director G Ashok fails to elevate the flawed narrative, resulting in a frustrating viewing experience. The film’s descent into melodrama and senseless plot twists only exacerbates its problems, leaving audiences bewildered and dissatisfied.

Performances by the cast are a mixed bag, with Guru Randhawa’s raw acting skills falling short of expectations. Saiee Manjrekar delivers a decent performance, while Anupam Kher remains dependable in his role. However, Ila Arun’s portrayal suffers due to her character’s irritating traits, despite her best efforts. Atul Srivastava, Paresh Ganatra, and Paritosh Tripathi offer adequate support, but Brahmanandam’s comedic potential is wasted due to weak writing.

The film’s music, although forgettable, manages to leave a slight impression, with tracks like “Jeena Sikhaya” and “Jhol Jhal” making a minor impact. Vijay Verma, Anamik Chauhan, and Lyton’s background score complements the film’s theme adequately.

Technical Aspects:
R M Swamy’s cinematography fails to capture the essence of the setting, relying too heavily on clichéd shots of the Taj Mahal. Prameet Saini and Divya Gupta’s costume design adds richness to the visuals, particularly Saiee Manjrekar’s attire. However, Rahul Sharma’s production design and Dhiraj Kumar Wadhwa’s editing offer nothing remarkable to enhance the overall experience.

Conclusion:
“Kuchh Khattaa Ho Jaay” is a disappointing cinematic offering, marred by senseless storytelling and unconvincing twists. Despite its attempts at humor and drama, the film fails to resonate with audiences, leaving a bitter aftertaste. Viewers are advised to steer clear of this lackluster saga and seek more fulfilling cinematic experiences elsewhere.
