Clever, believable, and super fun to watch. It totally has replay value.

This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.

I am normally quite tolerant when it comes to movies but this movie tried my patience to no end.Given my affection for the original Karz, I was a tad apprehensive about giving it a chance, which was why I put it off for a good number of years. After hearing Himesh Reshammiya's version of Ek Hasina Thi I was swayed and decided to give it a shot. The song had such a haunting quality and was frankly surprised by how good it was. Sadly the song is the only decent thing about this movie. Honestly I am surprised how Satish Kaushik could make such an amateur movie, I wouldn't expect this kind of movie from a film student let alone a veteran director. This movie is a failure in almost every department. Honestly it's worse than a B Grade movie.The performances from the leads, Himesh and Shweta Kumar (daughter of director Indra Kumar) are two of the worst performances I have seen in any movie. Himesh somehow managed to bag a few more movies but Shweta only managed to star in her dad's Super Nani after this. Even seasoned pros like Urmila and Raj Babbar ham it up really badly. I was surprised at Urmila particularly because I thought she did well in the Ek Hasina Thi number, her expressions during the song were spot on. Although I never expected to measure upto Simi Garewal, I expected better from her. It was embarrassing to see Gulshan Grover slumming it in a thankless role. Some very poor choices have been said throughout this movie, like for instance in the scene where Himesh goes to see Asrani to know the whereabouts of Ravi Verma's family and for some inexplicable reason mid conversation it shifts to a comedy track and then goes serious again. What should have been a good dramatic moment is ruined completely. Another disappointment was that apart of Ek Hasina thi, there are no other good songs in this movie. Given the classic status of the original, the people involved should at least have done a half decent job so that it does justice to the former. When Karzzz should have been thrilling and suspenseful, it evokes no other reaction for me other than sheer disdain for all the people involved in the making of this movie. Seeing the end result must have been a real slap in the face for Subhash Ghai and everyone else involved with the original. I would love to hear their reactions to the atrocity that is Karzzz. In my opinion it is up there with such Hollywood atrocities like Batman and Robin and Superman 4: A Quest for Peace.OK rant over, thank you for listening.

So finally RGV take a breather for Karz with Zzzz is here to displace him from the top spot. HR:: Disappointing considering there should be improvement in performance after Aap Ka Suroor. Urmila:: Performance-wise I never regarded highly of Simi but after watching the new Kamini, hats off to the Simi. Urmila even if you have to get "on-your-fours" to return to RGV camp, do it!Shweta Kumar is hopeless. Even Danny & Gulshan Grover is below the par. Rohini Hattangadi was alright. Dino Morea was hardly there. Raj Babbar & Himani Shivpuri track was unwarranted. There was no point of messing with the original and develop the half- baked "HR-Urmila" track. I presume they decided to copy something from the original's original Peter Proud. Music:: Thanks to the diversion, the quality is deteriorating big time. Hardly there is a number which can be called as HR-class. Satish Kaushik:: You are better off making frame-to-frame copies of South-Indian to Bollywood and perhaps you should have done the same for Karz to Karzzzz.

Himesh felt he can be an actor, after the popularity he got as a singer His own music album director decided to make a film AAP KA SUROOR(title too of the album) fine Then the film worked at the box office, So now Himesh felt he should remake KARZ(1980) and get successfulThe promos kept showing his nasal songs, all sounding the same, nothing as g8 as the ones in KARZ Then there started showing some b grade style scenes in promos Himesh was overconfident that the film will be a success he as always went on events and promoted the film and made some fake comments to the mediaThe film released and luckily bombedThe film starts off with Dino Morea in place of the annoying Raj Kiran of KARZ, then we r introduced to Kamini played by Urmila and a rather funny take off on Prem Nath of the original by Gulshan grover who has a metallic arm instead of the glass in the originalThe film moves on, dino killed, cut to Himesh being re- born with a stage song and damn!! The first half is as lifeless as AAP KA SUROOR and then the only twist where Himesh tells urmila that he is Ravi Verma that too falls flat thanks to himesh's awkward acting The film is as boring as a 80's b grade film of Mithun Satish Kaushik ruins the remake, with every cliché possible thrown in Music(HR) is okay, but excess of nasal tone spoils it, EK HASEENA THI falls flat Cinematography is one of it's assets Performances Himesh went off his cap and came with a Japanese wig, The rest, well he plays a superstar like in AKS here too in the initial reels but when his character gets serious he acts like he is acting in a stage play, he is too bad his expressions when he conveys sorrow, pain, anger are such a joke The heroine is pure wood except those eyes Urmila doesn't age in the film, a big drawback her acting is unintentionally funny at places and alright at places Danny is a sore point, he doesn't impress and gets to the nerves Gulshan Grover keeps doing his madness Raj Babbar, Bhaktyar Irani have no scope Rohini Hattangudy is theatrical

Let's get one thing straight. And this is very, very important and one shouldn't overlook this fact. This is a masala film; the makers never ever promised new-age cinema. Given the fact that KARZZZZ talks of reincarnation, plus there's a dash of mythology, as also everything that goes into the making of an entertainer, just don't expect anything path-breaking from KARZZZZ. Also, don't expect KARZZZZ to pander to the tastes of the multiplex junta. Himesh may not have the charisma of SRK, he may not be talented like Aamir, he may not be dashing and debonair as Salman and Akshay, but you can't turn your eyes away from the fact that he has oodles of confidence and that makes the job easier. Also, comparisons with Rishi Kapoor are inevitable. Well, Rishi Kapoor was matchless and KARZ continues to remain a shining medal to this date, but even the harshest of critics would agree that Himesh is here to stay. The Music is Fantastic and Himesh is the one to carry this film Urmilla is great and newcomer Shweta Kumar is pretty but she doesn't get enough of a role. Overall Karzzzz lives up to the hype and go and watch it right now
