The director duo Abbas – Mustan needs no special introduction in Bollywood firmament. They have made many stars & delivered many hits in their career. And now once again in their latest offering ‘Kis Kisko Pyaar Karoon’ they have gifted a new star in the making namely the stand up comedian Kapil Sharma.
The movie starts off with the definition of ‘shaadi’ and also with the introduction of Kumar Shiv Ram Kishan aka Bholu (Kapil Sharma) in a swanky car. Even as he drives the car, the audiences are driven to a flashback of events that establishes the connection between Kumar Shiv Ram Kishan’s past with his present. If one had to sum up his life, then, the only statement that would do total justice to it is ‘Kar bhala toh ho bura’. Every time Kumar Shiv Ram Kishan lands up helping a girl (unmarried, to be specific) in distress, he lands up marrying that girl! That establishes the fact as to how he gets married to Juhi (Manjari Fadnis), Simran (Simran Kaur Mundi) & Anjali (Sai Lokur). Kumar Shiv Ram Kishan very successfully hides his marriage from all the 3 girls err… wives. And in order to avoid problems, he places them at various locations of Bandra, Borivali & Kandivali. But, upon the ‘expert advice’ of his close friend lawyer Karan (Varun Sharma), Kumar Shiv Ram Kishan buys one flat for each wife in an ironically named building called ‘Cocktail Towers’. To all his wives, he explains his super busy schedule stating that he has 3 different ‘offices’ to be taken care of. He even names his different offices (read ‘wives’) on his mobile phone as ‘Head Office’, ‘Branch Office’ & ‘Area Office’. The common excuse that Kumar Shiv Ram Kishan gives to all the 3 wives is that, because of his super busy job, he will spend one night with them and two nights in the office. In that way, he actually does justice to all the three wives. The story takes a U-turn with the entry of Deepika aka ‘Enquiry Office’ (Elli Avram), the girl whom he really loves. Due to the fear of losing Deepika, Kumar Shiv Ram Kishan keeps her too in the dark about his marriages and his respective wives.
Hats off to the director duo Abbas – Mustan for moving out of their thriller comfort zone & serving the viewers with a delightful comic oriented recipe.
Performance wise debutante Kapil Sharma has done wonders. And he surely did not have to move out of his comfort zone of comedy He is equally good in romance & emotional arena. As for the heroines Manjari Phadnis, Elli Avram, Simran Kaur Mundi are concerned they are superb in their own individual roles. Another outstanding performance comes from Varun Sharma. But the same cannot be said about the other actors of the movie.
Tail Piece: Not to be missed film at any cost.
