Krodh
is a remake of Hitler - a hit film that was made
in many languages down South. Krodh also marks the third get-together for Sunil Shetty and Ashok Honda. Their earlier
films, Anth and Rakshak, were
average entertaining action flicks. But Krodh doesnt live upto the mark, its a
major pain - in the you know what - to sit through the entire film.
Karan (Sunil Shetty) is the overprotective brother of his five younger sisters. He
beats up any guy who sees his sisters with a tedi aankh (With brother like him
why would any one want to look at his sisters anyway?). Hence, everyone in the town refers
to Karan as Hitler. He also doesnt accept the fact that Raj (Apoorva
Agnihotri) and Prem (Johnny Lever)
love two of his sisters, because he thinks theyre both awaara and besharam.
Upto this point, the film is not bad. Then come in the villains, Kabra and his younger
brother. Kabra was sent to jail for 2 years because of Karan, and now seeks revenge.
Karans father, Balwant (Kader Khan)
also comes to the scene. But Karan hates Balwant, because he thinks Balwant is responsible
for his mothers death. Then the usual Hindi-filmy cliches take over, and baap
is proven innocent and a whole mess is created. And dhishum-dhishum follow.
Sounds predictable doesnt it?
Sunil Shetty is able to portray his part well, but the film still isnt watchable
because of the jagged storyline and lousy direction. Rambha is in the film just to prance
around and sound like a little kid. Nothing about the film is worth a mention, except the
song "Mera Kangana.." which is quite hummable. The action sequences are
okay, but nothing extraordinary. Definitely avoid this film if you want to do something
better with 2 and half-hours of your life. |
