It
would
be
wrong
to
slot
Krazzy
4
as
a
comedy.
Sure,
Krazzy
4
remains
faithful
to
the
ongoing
trend
of
providing
laughs
at
the
oddest
of
things,
but
it's
more
of
a
masala
fare
that's
reminiscent
of
the
1980s
cinema.
Packaged
in
a
modern
avatar,
of
course.
A
film
like
Krazzy
4
is
easy
on
your
brains.
It
rests
on
a
thin
plot,
but
the
makers
have
tried
to
package
the
proceedings
with
entertaining
stuff
from
Scene
A
to
Z.
Sometimes
it
works,
at
times
it
doesn't.
But
the
pros
outweigh
the
cons
in
this
case.
Also,
let's
get
one
thing
straight.
This
isn't
path-breaking
or
ground-breaking
cinema
by
any
chance.
It's
targeted
at
the
aam
junta,
not
connoisseurs
of
cinema.
Also,
one
of
the
trump
cards…
sorry,
make
it
two,
are
the
dance
numbers
filmed
on
the
two
superstars
--
SRK
and
Hrithik.
Just
these
two
numbers
are
enough
to
satiate
the
hunger
of
an
avid
moviegoer.
Even
the
Rakhi
Sawant
track
is
an
asset,
since
it's
hugely
popular
with
the
desi
junta
[like
'Main
Aayee
Hoon
U.P.-Bihar
Lootne'
and
'Beedi'].
In
a
nutshell,
Krazzy
4
isn't
the
kind
of
cinema
that
would
invite
debates
or
discussions.
Its
intention
is
to
make
people
leave
the
cineplex
with
a
smile
and
it
succeeds
in
its
endeavour.
Arshad
Warsi
is
Raja:
Truly
the
angry
young
man!
His
blood
boils,
his
fists
clench
and
he's
ready
to
beat
the
daylights
out
of
anyone
who
upsets
him
in
some
way.
Irrfan
Khan
is
Dr.
Mukherjee:
He
has
decided
that
he's
the
Captain
of
the
team!
But
so
obsessed
is
he
by
the
need
to
be
in
control
of
a
situation,
he
doesn't
realise
he's
totally
lost
control
of
himself
and
his
mind.
Rajpal
Yadav
is
Gangadhar:
He's
marching
to
a
beat
only
he
can
hear;
he's
fighting
for
a
cause
that's
long
over.
But
in
his
mind
he's
still
fighting
for
Swaraj.
Suresh
Menon
is
Dabboo:
He's
everybody's
pet
and
however
far
gone
the
rest
may
be,
when
it
comes
to
Dabboo,
everybody's
protective.
Even
if
he
can
hear
and
understand,
Dabboo
refuses
to
speak.
And
nobody
knows
why!
Dr
Sonali
[Juhi
Chawla]
treats
them
all.
She
has
faith
that
all
it
needs
is
a
little
time
and
lots
of
patience
to
make
them
part
of
the
mad,
mad,
mad
world
out
there…
Rakesh
Roshan's
story
takes
a
leaf
out
of
One
Flew
Over
The
Cuckoo's
Nest,
while
Ashwani
Dhir's
screenplay
tries
to
pack
everything
that's
available
on
the
shelf.
The
first
hour
is
quite
entertaining,
with
a
few
sequences
compelling
you
to
flex
your
facial
muscles.
But
the
problem
lies
in
its
second
hour.
More
specifically,
the
writing
relies
on
the
age-old
stuff
to
reach
the
finale.
Too
many
cinematic
liberties
have
been
undertaken
in
this
hour,
just
to
reach
the
culmination
and
it
doesn't
really
work
at
times.
Even
the
end
outside
the
hospital
looks
contrived.
Jaideep
Sen
shows
a
flair
for
comedy,
but
had
the
debutante
director
opted
for
a
slightly
novel
screenplay,
it
would've
taken
the
film
to
another
level.
A
few
comic
scenes
are
well
executed
and
in
terms
of
execution,
Jaideep
knows
the
grammar
right.
Ashwani
Dhir's
screenplay
may
lack
novelty,
but
the
dialogues
penned
by
him
are
witty
and
enjoyable.
Cinematography
is
nice.
Rajesh
Roshan's
music
is
up
to
the
mark.
The
two
tracks,
filmed
on
the
superstars,
are
top
notch
and
what
enhances
the
effect
are
the
choreography
and
production
design
[of
SRK
track]
and
the
visual
effects
[in
Hrithik
track].
Arshad
Warsi
is
the
best
of
the
lot.
His
character
is
bound
to
work
with
the
moviegoers.
Irrfan's
role
doesn't
offer
him
that
much
scope.
Yet,
the
actor
enacts
his
part
with
precision.
Rajpal
Yadav
is
quite
funny
at
places.
Suresh
Menon
is
a
surprise.
He
hardly
utters
one
word
in
the
film,
but
he
delivers
with
expressions.
Juhi
Chawla
doesn't
get
ample
opportunity.
Dia
Mirza
is
efficient.
Zakir
Hussain
is
okay.
Rajat
Kapoor
is
relegated
to
the
backseat.
On
the
whole,
Krazzy
4
is
slightly
above
the
average
mark,
but
the
brand
[Rakesh
Roshan]
coupled
with
the
presence
of
the
two
superstars
in
its
songs
and
of
course,
some
great
actors
in
comic
roles
should
ensure
positive
returns
at
the
box-office.
