In this week’s Wahiyat Wednesday, we tell you how Himesh destroyed Karz with his Karzzzz. And it is a sign that you might fall asleep. Remember? Years later, actor-filmmaker Satish Kaushik recreated it with Himesh Reshammiya in the lead, which was called Karzzzz. While South Africa is famous for its vine Conclusion: This film is a complete let down as well as disappointing and should not have really been made and therefore it is better to watch the original any day.Three decades ago, director Subhash Ghai made a film titled Karz, which was based on reincarnation. Every now and then, the South African city of Cape Town is mentioned as well as Kenya, which is a country in East Africa and to me it seemed that either the script writers had it wrong as it shows vineyards when it is suppose to be Kenya, which is a country and not a town and Geographically it has no vineyards and is more famous for its tea plantations and coffee. The film also has its flaws, which, again to me, was conspicuous. Also be sure that you are either holding onto your seat or have a seat belt to hold you in the event of you falling off the chair by laughing and holding your stomach. Be warned: Watch out for the song "Ta Ta Tana tandoori nights" and make sure that you are not eating anything at the time as it may just make you laugh and threw it all out and create problems with the person either sitting in front of you or beside you.

The same applies to Urmila Matondkar, who plays the role of Kamini, which was originally played by Simi Garewall. Danny Denzongpa plays the role that Pran did, but unfortunately, even though he is a good actor, this was a let down. There was no intensity of chemistry between her character and that of "Monty," played by Himesh Reshamiya, which leads me to write that perhaps the audience will realise how capable Mrs Tina Ambani (Tina Munim) really was and that perhaps she should be considered for life time achievement award. The Director has introduced a new actress, Shweta Kumar and considering that she is new, unfortunately for her, the role seemed incorrect to launch her career. Instead he should stick to composing music at which he is talented. He is unable to dance as well and this is what Rishi Kapoor was considered to be terrific at. This particular song requires a rather high, strong and powerful voice, which can carry the words directly into the heart of the audience and Himesh Reshamiya just does not have that type of voice. Frankly, I was looking forward to listening to "Ek Haseena Thi" but was disappointed with it. He is not just able to portray the emotions that are required in such genre movies and his voice for playback singing is, I am sorry to say for all "die hard" fans of his, is no way near to the quality that the late Kishore Kumar had.

I wonder what made Satish Kaushik do this film? He has achieved so much with his other previous films which has included "Tere Naam" and yet with this one he has added on just four "zzzzz." In terms of acting, Himesh Rehsamiya cannot be compared or matched to Rishi Kapoor in any way whatsoever. I knew that this was a re make of the 1980 Subash Ghai hit, "Karz" and also knew that it was about reincarnation.
