Humshakals [2014]


"KHAO KHUJAO, BATTI BUJAAO"

(This review contains explicit language and a small conversation with my fellow colleague)




Few months ago, I, along with my sister, had visited a dentist who for an unending two hours plucked out a tooth and then drilled a huge gap in my mouth. The soreness was extreme and unbearable but what kept me going was the thought that the sore feeling was purposeful. 'Humshakals' is like that despairing and mournful day, else it doesn’t have any sense as well as understanding.

*Instead of wasting my vacations I decided to take this risk and so, we both, I along with a friend of mine (who was really having a wonderful day), got two entries for Humshakals. We entered the theatre and the movie started paying honor to Jim Carrey and Kishore Kumar, making us feel guilty of buying tickets at the very first moment.*

'Ashok' (Saif Ali) and his Chaddi Buddy 'Kumar' (Riteish Deshmukh) are introduced at first. Ashok is a millionaire and is all set to start his career as a stand-up comedian (Saif Ali needs to join 'Kapil Sharma Tutorials' for this). While Ram Kapoor plays the bad guy 'Mamaji' (alternately 'Kans') who stirves to rob Ashok's property by proving the latter as a mentally unstable man.

*Well, here, "I" was just striving to see a smile on her face (who still was having a wonderful day) and, later then I too forcefully wore a smile even when my mind made no sense of what I saw.*

Okay, so continuing, Ashok and Kumar both are admitted at a mental asylum where they meet their Humshakals with same name. This is the scene where all the shit happens and Sajid just stomps crap through our visualization and wipe his feet on the human desire to be entertained.

*If she (who had never had such a day before) had recorded all of my moaning, murmuring, eye-rolling throughout this movie and brought it up in a single tape, it could be sold as more funnier than the whole of Humshakals. On the grounds that it would be short, lively, much more catchy and easy-going.*

Writers, Sajid Khan (Director) himself along with Robin Bhatt and Akarsh Khurana team up to irritate you and you can see how much do they care about the audience's threshold level of hair-tearing and discomfort. Bipasha Basu, Esha Gupta and Tamannaah Bhatia were just to attract the spectators. About the Music, as far I know, 'Caller Tune' is a chartbuster (I personally HATE this song). Himesh Reshammiya still Sucks! He is Awful.

Concluding, Humshakals is a comedy of things that aren't funny at all. Possibly, you should see it as an example of the low-lying slope that you get for low-pass filters while tracing a Bode sketch. *That was an Engineering term, sorry for that*
