Kismat Konnection

Rating:★★
Category:Movies
Genre: Romantic Comedy
You could ask me , why I would write a review for 'Kismat Konnection' right after watching 'The Dark Knight'
As I watched The dark Knight , I realized why we love certain movies and why we hate certain others.
Its not hype, nor hoopla that can sustain a weak movie, but the emotional response it elicits from the viewer.
Any movie maker knows this.We Indians certainly know this.
I can remember watching 'Partner', and groaning throughout the way.It was aimed at the masses.Loosley based on the hollywood hit Hitch , but with barely a credible plot or convincing acting , the movie felt like a bunch of unconnected scenes spliced together and spiced up with low brow humour and exotic locales and a lot of flesh on display(I'm talking about shirtfree salman here)Yet surprisingly the movie went on to be the biggest grosser of that year, revealing the likes and dislikes of the lowest common denominator of the indian movie watching public.

It was never my decision to watch Kismat konnection.There were eight of us, and half had already watched hancock and the other half had already watched The dark Knight .
The only movies none of them had watched were KK and Contract.compared th RGV 's Contract , KK was looking a lot better.

But let me digress...A thing about raw beauty.
It is innocent in itself.
And the promise of pure beauty and its incorruptibility is truly intoxicating.
I mean she made Vidya Balan ,( whom I was in love with all these days )look pale beside her.
You know what you really need to get over a heartbreak ?Its someone who has that intoxicating effect on you.And boy she did, and blasted all those useless painful memories out to the moon.

Vidya aunty and shahid were ok, but vidya looks too old for chikna shahid.
Chemistry was non-existent, humour was not forthcoming,and juhi chawla looked over-botoxed and was irritating.Even the twist in the end was as predictable as Hillary's chances of winning the election.
I couldn't help yawning throughout the movie.
As a final knife in my back , she told me that Vidya aunty looked like my mom.Now I have to reject Vidya aunty so that I don't appear oedipal and disturbed.Damn you ! Vidya aunty was the last good thing I had.
Damn You !
