Krazzy 4 (2008)

Overrated and overhyped

Yo, there's no way for me to review this film without saying, take your *insert ethnicity + "ass" here* to see this film,like now. You have to see it in order to know what you're really messing with.

It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

OK... I am so shocked the rating on Krazzy 4 is so low!! The acting was so great to these excellent characters. Rajpal Yadav plays a poor crazy man thinking Ghandi and freedom fighters are still around, Irrfan Khan as a was-doctor now in a mental patient trying to pick up everyone's trash... Arshad Warsi has an explosive temper and poor Suresh Menon is a mute and says nothing pretty much... 4 mental patients going to see a cricket game under the guise this should help them learn to work as a team who get mixed up in a crazy kidnapping... now are loose in the city trying to find their doctor...this movie had the most crazy shenanigans and made me laugh so hard. The characters mad this film. They were excellent. I especially loved Irrfan Khan as an quiet introverted neat freak. This movie was great Oh yeah and one of the last films Shah Rukh is in where he doesn't look too old... (his song must be the shortest in the film BTW)!!! Hrithik dancing on the end credits was great too! Obviously it won't go down in cinematic history but it is a great time pass and not some sleazy comedy!! Just good fun film

I am confused after seeing Krazzy 4. What was it intended to be - a comedy film, a film with a moral, or what? The film was promising with the cast it had. Arshad Warsi, Irfan Khan, Rajpal Yadav and Suresh Menon - any one of them on their day can give you stomach aches laughing. But all of them are equally wasted. I wonder why is Diya Mirza doing such itsy-bitsy roles these days. Anyway, this role of hers is not going to do her any good. Let me also mention this - I feel sad and enraged when films 'exploit' the national anthem. It is cheap gimmickry. This happens in Krazzy 4 too. I wonder what the film-makers wanted to achieve with that.It is not a comedy film, for sure. I don't know what it is.

Storyline is poor, but I enjoyed the movie as it has some funny scenes and dialogues and the acting was good. Most of the Indian reviewers will surprise you as they think: movies like Karan Arjun is flamboyant, movies like Main hoon na are super hits. To me, these 2 movies are boring (boring means: typical formula of bollywood) with boring acting of Shahrukh Khan. But these are blockbusters, so don't really believe these comments. Go and watch it. You will enjoy and forget, it's not a memorable movie but it will not bore you unlike other silly action, romantic, exaggerated sensitive movies ( like Karan Johar :) ) and some other Directors. To me, this movie is average, but it's much better than other super hit movies , I will give it 5. Hritik Roshan special appearance is good, he did the dance sequence very well. Rest is good, it should not be that bad for an Indian audience as they are habituated to watch much worse movies, so I hope this movie is okay. Story is written over here, read and decide. :)

Bollywood, it seems, is on a flop run after Jodhaa Akbar. Observe, One Two Three and Race (Yes, it was crap). I expected a slapstick comedy after looking at the promos of Krazzy 4, choosing this over the weeks other release, U Me aur Hum.The story is simple enough. Four 'mad' guys, are taken out on a field trip by their doctor. Doctor gets kidnapped, havoc ensues, or should I say, krazziness. Fullstop. Simple enough. Doesn't torture you like the 'come-sit-down-and-let-me-tell-you-how-I-planned-your-murder' way of Race.The mad people under question.. Krazzy a. Arshad playing Raja, a man suffering from sudden bouts of rage. Anger disorder. Krazzy b. Irrfan playing Dr. Mukherjee, suffering from obsessive compulsive disorder. He's a cleanliness freak who'll try to get dirt of the backside of a nurse's uniform. Krazzy c. Rajpal playing Gangadhar. He thinks he still lives in the Gandhian era. Vande Mataram. Krazzy d. Suresh playing Dabboo. Hasn't talked since he was four years old.Their doctor played to utter sweetness by Juhi Chawla. Don't think I'm being sarcastic. The places where Krazzy 4 succeed are its utter sweet moments. Apart from being extremely tenderly acted by everyone, it also isn't very long. Hardly an hour and fifty minutes. All four leads play their roles very efficiently. Rajpal being the one who offers the most laughs. Just wait till his ending speech. Irrfan Khan, the great actor that he is, gets a small role, easy for him to play. He plays this even more delicately. Suresh Menon, for a guy who hardly talks, is fun to watch. His expressions will get you laughing. Rajpal Yadav had me in splits every time he spoke. His way of delivery is such. Watch out for the scenes with 'Aazadi - 50% off' and the one with Gandhiji and Nehru. The backing actors, Rajat Kapoor, Dia Mirza, and the 'bad guys', serve their purpose well. The guy playing Dia's father deserves special mention. You've seen him before.The songs are merely there. No romantic hus-phus etc etc. Shah Rukh Khan has never looked better. Trust me. Stay back till the end to watch Hrithik too. The two music videos are sheer eye candy proving to us who the real pin-up boys of Bollywood really are. High point of the movie is where a little girl sings Jana Gana Mana. If the people in the hall stand up to attention to it, like they did in the show I went to, you'll feel good. Vande Mataram. I shall not go far enough to say Rakhi Sawant 'does not' look good in the music video, but I would have preferred Mallika Sherawat in it. The song is Beedi'ish, but not nearly good enough. And we finally did it people. They've written a song about One Rupee. An amazing one at that too. They've added everything, from Kajra re to Dum to Opera - style. Hilarious.Krazzy 4 tries the Munnabhai-way of entertainment, preaching about the ways of society and how people who are 'different' have no place in it. It misses the Munnabhai mark by a long shot. But it really doesn't matter. It's a sweet short movie. You could say it was made with a lot of care, and they promised us a sequel at the end. So, to be continued..7/10 for acting. 6/10 for the story. 6/10 for music. 6/10 for directing. 10/10 for the two pin-up boys. P.S.: Get Mallika to do an item number in the sequel.
