The director duo, Abbas-Mastan is known for their blockbuster movies like ‘Baazigar’, ‘Khiladi’ and ‘Aitraaz’ and moreover the protagonist of the movie too is a popular stand up comedian, Kapil Sharma. Sad but true, all three of them are unable to make a movie worth watching. It might sound unbelievable, but the movie is nowhere near to a blockbuster. The screenplay is weak, the dialogues make you feel like crying out loud after a certain level and the climax will definitely take away your life with its stupidity. In short, the movie is going to make you feel guilty and you will end up spending your whole life regretting your decision of watching this film. The use of logic is so minimal that you will find yourself banging your head against the wall, (quite literally). The only good thing about the movie is of course Kapil Sharma and his quick witty one liners. I will recommend, watch it for Kapil Sharma if you still wish to go for it..
It would be bad news for the makers of the film if one were to take Kapil Sharma’s big screen debut with any degree of seriousness. Ironically, Abbas-Mustan’s Kis Kisko Pyaar Karoon, a rough-hewn vehicle designed to extend a very, very long rope to television’s number one comedy show host, wants to be regarded as a serious cinematic effort. And that is bigger than any joke that the film can throw at the audience. The obvious mismatch between aspiration and result is too glaring to be missed. Kis Kisko Pyaar Karoon strives very hard to be funny. But neither its half-baked characters nor the unconvincing situations that they are plunged into are hilarious enough to hold a patchy screenplay together. But he comes up short owing as much to his own limitations as an actor as to the weaknesses inherent in the script. Kis Kisko Pyaar Karoon is a lame and laboured comedy that might work only for those that have unshakeable faith in Sharma’s ability to raise a few chuckles on the odd occasion. This critic doesn’t. Even if one walks into Kis Kisko Pyaar Karoon with zero expectation, the film would still be hard pressed to measure up. If you have any pyaar to spare, shower it on better fare.
In Abbas-Mustan's Kis Kisko Pyaar Karoon, getting married is not just a life goal but also the solution to any problem. Be it guy dumps you at the altar, guy doesn't elope as promised or death bed-bound father sees a guy holding your hand, it all boils down to shaadi, shaadi, shaadi. Because every single woman in this film is a jobless, gullible dodo, it happens sooner than you blink. The Abbas-Mustan farce is in the same mental space as David Dhawan comedies, Saajan Chale Sasural and Gharwali Baharwali, except Kapil is nowhere in the same league as the sprightly Govinda or foxy Anil Kapoor. His poker-face humour and lukewarm screen presence has little impact in the absence of a laugh track. Indeed, the few jokes that do work in this illogical, tardy drivel have more to do with how idiotic they are then amusing. But mostly you cringe at the sight of Kapil posing next to the full moon from a multi-storey's terrace whilst his starry-eyed wives conduct the Karva Chauth ritual for the four-timing half's long life. Or, who knows, potential harem?
When you watch a Kapil Sharma film with a straight face, you know there's something wrong. Not that he doesn't act well or anything. It's just that his character isn't funny enough as one would have expected. You wonder if the directors wanted to present him differently or he himself feared that his funny image might sabotage his chances as a mainstream Bollywood hero. Whatever the reaon, the decision to underplay his comic side (which happens to be his forte) and let drama and romance take center stage, doesn't quite work. Even the concept has been explored a billion times before. Be it No Entry, Garam Masala, Maine Pyaar Kyun Kiya or the Housefull series, they were way funnier and had a stronger star appeal. Sadly, even the scenes that manage to make you smile here, feature supporting actors, who seem funnier than Kapil. Arbaaz Khan and Varun Sharma deserve a special mention for they are hilarious. The girls look pretty and the samandar song is beautiful but if you want to see the film solely for Kapil's brand of humour, you get babaji ka thullu.
