In the present times when new and offbeat subjects are being experimented in Bollywood, the writers of Kismat appear completely barren of any imagination or innovation. And the movie's director Guddu Dhanoa's unrefined cinematic sensibilities further spell doom for the film.
The story of Kismat has been seen umpteen times on screen before. A local gunda, falling for a rich girl, decides to take a quick route to riches to be eligible to marry her. But in trying to make things better he only ends up making them many times worse.
Thanks to the hero's deed, the girl's father fears public prosecution and her mother commits suicide. Still the hero believes that he can redeem himself of his sins and win the girl's hand. Just think about it - a man is the cause of the suicide of a girl's mother and still he believes that he can turn the tables around in his favor and win the girl's love. That is being foolishly optimistic.
But this is exactly what happens in a third rate movie like Kismat.
Everything in the movie is as predictable as a politician's tongue. Those watching the movie will automatically come to know what is going to happen in the coming reels. So in a way, Kismat can amply boost the vanities of those mediocre writers who believe there is more to them than what is acknowledged by others.
The performances in the movie are no better than its story or direction. Bobby Deol is better than before but he should not see himself any further beyond the first rung on the ladder to being a real actor. Priyanka Chopra just about manages to play her role. The only performance that stands out is that of Kabir Bedi who plays his villainous role with aplomb.
The movie is simply avoidable, but those who have been sleep deprived in last few days can try their luck at catching a nap at the price of a ticket.
