Film: Karle Pyaar Karle
Karle Pyaar Karle Movie review: Another Son bites
the dust!
Cast: Shiv Darshan, Hasleen Kaur, Mahesh Thakur
Director: Suneel Darshan
Rating: * * ½
Yet another show-piece for a film family debutant,
this one is pure imitation of a not so
good thing. With Sanjay Dutt’s ‘Rocky’ debut on his mind, how can fledgeling
Shiv Darshan(son of Suneel Darshan) hope to make a mark?
Karle
Pyaar Karle is meant to be an adrenaline gushing, action packed, edgy love
story of two rebels, Kabir(Shiv Darshan) & Preet( Hasleen Kaur) but comes
nowhere close to that ‘big’ conceit. As far as the story is concerned , it’s far
more solid than the ones we’ve been treated to in the regular romances churned
out by Bollywood at regular intervals.
Keeping
abreast with modern times, Kabir and Preet are childhood sweethearts whose
bonding with each other is forged on childhood traumas and intertwined shenanigans.
They become daring adults who meet again and manage to rekindle their affection
for each other but old habits die hard and Kabir’s penchant for trouble
escalates the tensions between the two and becomes cause for a major rift in
their relationship.
The narrative goes all out to fashion reasons
for the star aspirants to show –off their skills- be it stunt cycling,
competitive skateboarding, motorcycle daredevilry, dancing and ample show of
brawn. But the fun element is not all-pervasive. The Sporty and playful scenes
and the cross-firing banter is quite pleasing.
Though
Shiv Darshan manages to score well in most departments mentioned above, he
appears sorely lacking in screen presence and acting skills. There’s a certain
sluggishness to his performance that needs to be corrected if wants to
strengthen his chances for another outing in the theatres.
The
music here is also not as good as it should have been. For a film aiming to be
the ‘ love story’ of the new millennium ,
the music, a multi-composer effort is not one that is easy on the ears or one
that stays with you for longer than the hours you’ve spent in the theatre.
Overall, this film is not a bad effort but it’s also one that doesn’t have a
strong enough component to draw you in and keep you riveted!
