Kuch Khattaa Ho Jaay Review: Forget Khattaa, This Guru-Saiee Starrer Is A Kadva Big Screen Experience

Kuch Khattaa Ho Jaay Review: Whenever we used to watch Guru Randhawa in a song, we always felt that he is a good-looking guy and has the charm of a hero. So, when he decided to make his acting debut with the movie Kuch Khattaa Ho Jaay, we all were quite excited to watch him on the big screens. So, is this film a perfect debut for Guru? Well, the answer is a BIG NO!

Kuch Khattaa Ho Jaay is about Heer (Guru Randhawa) who is from a rich family in Agra. He has a family business of sweets (mithaai), and his only aim in life is to love Ira (Saiee Manjrekar). Ira wants to clear IAS exams and serve the nation, but due to some situation Heer and Ira get married. Soon, the pressure of having a baby starts and the couple lies to the family that Ira is pregnant. Now, what happens further forms the rest of the story...

G Ashok, who is known for making Telugu film Bhaagamathie and its Hindi remake Durgamati, has directed KKHJ, and it is hard to believe how this man has made such a bad film. Kuch Khattaa Ho Jaay is just a khichdi which is not even tasty. There are too many things happening in the first half of the movie and there's no logic in it at all. Even if we forget the logic and watch it as a no-brainer comedy, still it at least needs to make us laugh but that doesn't happen.

The narrative in the first half runs so fast that when it nears the interval, you feel maybe the movie is coming to an end. In the second half, the emotional scenes come in and they are so funny that you will laugh during those scenes. Yes, you read it right! The dialogues and the situation in emotional scenes are so bad that they will give you that cringe laughter. Also, not to forget, we are in 2024, and still we have homophobic jokes in the movie. Like a character says, 'Andar Meetha Hai'.

The dubbing and the editing in the movie is just pathetic. There are cuts as if some college student has edited it or maybe even they can edit in a better way.

Kuch Khattaa Ho Jaay Actors' Performances

Performance wise, Anupam Kher and Ila Arun steal the show. Kher does get some good scenes to perform and he is good in them, and Arun will surely make you laugh out loud in some scenes. Guru Randhawa has a very good screen presence and he clearly deserved a better debut. Saiee Manjrekar has shown a great improvement, she just needs to work a bit more on her dialogue delivery and she will touch the sky. Other actors like Paresh Ganatra, Paritosh Tripathi, and Atul Srivastava are wasted. It really hurts to see how badly South veteran comedian Brahmanandam has been wasted in his cameo and given a lame role.

The music of the film is good. But, again if we put a bit of logic here, the movie is set in Agra (UP) but all the songs are Punjabi tracks.

Overall, Kuch Khattaa Ho Jaay is a movie that you surely need to skip. Even once it comes on OTT, you can skip it. Why waste time? In fact, Filmibeat did an interview with Guru and Saiee, and that's more entertaining than this movie, you can watch that below...
