Humko (literally) Deewana Kar Gaye

You know what the worst part of being a movie critic is...? You have to sit through immensely sick and pathetic films like HDKG.

You know what the best part is... you get to screw these films... and save the lives of thousands of poor, mortals who have not yet faced death by watching that film.

So let the screwing begin.

Well if you have seen LOVE ACTUALLY, its perfectly ok if u walk in ten minutes late for HDKG. This is because the entire airport title track is a shameless ripoff.

Now... If you have seen NOTTING HILL, its perfectly ok if u walk in thirty minutes late. This is because, after the LOVE ACTUALLYsque titles and a really crappy Bipasha basu song, the next fifteen minutes are an even more shameless ripoff of the amazing Julia Roberts film.

After this director Raj Kanwar decides that with a hundred hindi films made in an year in apna Bollywood, why does he have to rent Hollywood DVD's?

So, the next one hour is full of scenes reminiscent of DDLJ and a dejavu of a few more bollywood romances.

So i say, its perfectly alright if you step in to watch HDKG after the interval. You have already seen it all. And that too with better actors.

And then... the kind of second half the film boasts of... Its perfectly ok if you dont watch it at all.

HDKG is arguably one of the worst hindi films ever. Here is the story... if you care to know.

Akshay Kumar plays a Honda car test driver. Now he is sent to Canada, where he does everything else other than testing cars, he acts as a salesman, drives in a rally and starts dating Katrina Kaif who is engaged to Anil Kapoor. I forgot to mention, in the first ten minutes, Akshay gets engaged to Bipasha Basu.

So its as old as the hills and as predictable as Neal N Nikki. Akshay and Katrina fall in love when they are engaged to different people. Who marries who? Anyone who has passed std 1st can guess it just right.

What the hell was Raj Kanwar thinking while writing and directing this idiot film...?
What the hell was Akshay Kumar doing?
What the hell was Anu Malik thinkin while composing for this film?
What the hell is the editor's problem? Did he forget his scissors at home? Or does he nurse a secret crush on the director?

Katrina Kaif looks stunning and acts well. Rest there is nothing in the film. It really makes you Deewana... (meaning crazy in English)

Dont watch this.

My Rating: MAD OR WHAT!!!
