To everyone reading the comments here,As your well wisher, I recommend not to see this movie, I don't want to write anything about it, some sensible people who have posted comments here and given a deserved bad review about it have already pointed out all the flaws of this movie. I just want to save a long good period of frustration and anger which I went through after watching it, what a waste of a talented budding actor like Vivek Oberoi, I pity him really. I am so embarrassed I have to give a rating of 1 to this movie, I thought 0 would be there but it is not there so I am forced to give a rating of 1.As far as the good reviews for this movie here are concerned, I am surprised and shocked, these good reviews here lead me to the imagination of S.Ghai or someone handsomely paid by him sitting spending some valuable hours cooking up false stories about this movie being great etcThants all.
... View MoreSubhash Ghai makes a beautiful film after the disastrous Yaadein. The highlight of this film is most definitely Rehman's soul-stirring music! It is absolutely excellent! My favorites are Hum Hain Is Pal Yahan, the flute-piano theme, and My Wish Comes True. What I appreciate is that the revolution, fight for Indian independence, and Hindu-Muslim riots were kept as a backdrop and that the movie didn't sidetrack into a historical film. It is a love story from the beginning to the end. It is an interesting illustration of how love can cross cultures and is not skin-deep. The movie also shows good examples of where the British and Indian cultures/societies blend to create harmony and clash to create havoc. I thought everyone gave a good performance. The visuals are simply stunning. This movie has a very good script with excellent scenes that truly touches your emotions. The only thing I didn't like is the picturization of the songs during the church scene. It was unnecessarily melodramatic and just plain out weird. Also, two beautiful songs are just jammed into each other in an ear-screeching fashion. Other than that, though, this movie is an awesome romantic adventure.
... View MoreI have recently watched 'Kisna: The Warrior Poet' at the theater, and i must say these reviews i have read about are seriously garbage. Kisna is a beautiful love story, and is a great film altogether. Sure the acting staff wasn't as strong in the 'name power' of things, but WHO CARES....if u have actors that are not known, it doesn't matter as long as they do well. My advice to all of you that are reading this review after reading all others is to watch the movie, because i loved it, Antonia and Vivek are going places and after this movie you'll know itIt's just plain beautiful, just them looking into each other's eyes is sexy, just the kind of feeling you need in a love story, follow Kisna as he goes in the paths of 'Dharma' and 'Karma'....Though if one thing has failed in this movie it was the late Amresh Puri, his last film was no big phenom acting wise, but Kisna is a film to remember, and hey i didn't even think about falling asleep during the 3 hours it was on, or the songs, it is unforgettable, if you got a girl......take her to see Kisna, i think she'll love you for it ;)!
... View MoreSome producers like Gowariker (Swades), Bhansali (Black) mature with each film and "Kisna" is a fine example of how a producer the caliber of Subhash Ghai sink with each film to the point of decadence. The Story is a figment of fiction in Ghai's mind. Only in his mind do we see "Lady Catherine" (when did she get knighted? did I miss this Ceremony?) donating enormous amount of money (like zillions of crores) to charity, still she has some loose change left for the child dancers. Only in his mind do we see Kisna, killing his kith and Kin because he promised his mother that he would get Catherine to Delhi-but I missed the part where his mother told him to sing romantic duets on the way. At one point he says he is saving Catherine from the evil Prince-which one is it? or do we care at this point? Ghai, who is credited for the story and direction, makes a mess of both. The direction is disjointed. The Debutante,. Isha Sherwani, is incredibly co-ordinated (if Ghai, has his way, her Career will be on hold meditating at the end of the rope.) She and Hrithik Roshan would make a great dancing couple in a Musical, if only a good producer could take a hint. Antonia Bernath must have graduated from the "Aishwarya Rai School of dramatic acting". She speaks Hindi with a Cockney accent-and this get to be painful and ridiculous after a while. Vivek Oberoi, this guy has no Screen presence for a leading part, he should confine to playing hoodlums in movies like "Company". The music is good-specially the last duet is an absolute melody. The Production values are good as in a Ghai Film, but everything else is atrocious.
