Karle Pyar Karle

Hot on the heels of Yaariyan, we have a movie that wants to strongly stake its claim for the most coveted title in Bollywood these days – The Worst Movie of the Year.  In addition to coming close to this title (yep – Yaariyan was horrible.  This one didn’t go that low) this one will stake the claim for Worst Actor / Worst new face in the form of one Shiv Darshan.

Coincidentally, Shiv Darshan is the name of the Railway Officer’s Quarters in Mulund that is next to my residence.  I could not help but laugh out loud when I saw the name on the poster.  Luckily for our hero, he is in good condition and will receive some swoons from women.  Unluckily for him, he is paired opposite one hell of a looker and while the men will be ogling @ Hasleen Kaur, the women may just about be jealous looking at her.

The objectification of young women is the theme that Bollywood has decided to follow this year.  Yariyaan followed the same method and KPK continues it with a lap dance from a college student dressed in a nurse’s uniform that has been picked our straight from a porn movie.  That wasn’t Hasleen by the way but another fly by night model who is desperate to get into Bollywood as a seedy side actress.

Hasleen on the other hand, takes over the mantle of the lead hottie who wears 6” heels to college on a daily basis and believes in only hot pants, short skirts and bikinis (when required).  The difference is that this time around, the lead will be see thrice in a bikini over 2 hours.  The added feature is that the male lead will also be seen in bikini shorts an equal number of times – so even young men will be objectified.

To these sleazy scenes you need to add some good (yep – I have used that word on this review) bike chases and stunts – including the obviously modified one that has been shown on the poster.  Of course, you cannot forget the endless list of cheesy dialogues from Rakesh Pandey, Reshu Nath and Rahul Patel.  For e.g. “Jas, don’t pass gas and make yourself and ass” OR “Oh darling tu dhuaadhaar hai! Dil mera Dilli tu Sarkar hai”.

And don’t forget that you will, at the end of it all see a magical transformation of the lead actress from short skirts where the welt of the stockings show into a salwar kameez ghar ki bahu!!!! That has to be added to appeal to the hypocritical sentiment of the audience.  How else will you tell them that although I fooled you, I am ending in a way that you want me to – in a way acceptable to Indian culture.

The disappointing part is that this hypocritical audience, never has and will never get it that they are being conned like never before.  They will still lap it up because of the skin show and then wonder why people treat women badly.  They will subscribe to the sleaze on the big screen despite several options available.  At least the porn industry doesn’t make any bones about what it does.  1 on 10 just because this was kept to under 120 minutes.  Don’t bother watching it though – even on TV.
