Kya Kool Hai Hum - most mature adult Bollywood comedy ever

http://i347.photobucket.com/albums/p464/blogspot_images1/Kya%20Kool%20Hai%20Hum/Kyaa_Kool_Hai_Hum_D.jpg

Rahul (Tusshar Kapoor) and Karan (Ritiesh Deshmukh) are college buddies and roommates.
Both work for DK (Rajendranath Zutshi), who owns a fashion clothing store. When they are unable to pay for rent and got evicted, they continue to sneak in the apartment to live. DK goes to America for a business trip and both guys stay at DK's house. Karan falls in love with a girl who mistakens for as Kiran. The real Kiran (Bobby Darling) is DK's girlfriend who he is ignoring. In the meantime, there is a serial rapist/killer. The best cop Urmila (Isha Koppikar) goes undercover to capture the killer. The police squad mistakens Rahul as the rapist. What will happen?

What made me watch this movie is Jay Sean. He, Juggy D, and Veronica sang "One Night" in the film. OMG, I loved it.

Rahul is an innocent guy who just wants to find his soul mate. An astrologer advises him that his lady love will have a mole on her chest. He yearns to find her. However, he gets mistaken for being the serial rapist/killer but he doesn't know it yet.

I'm not a big fan of Tusshar. However, I did like him in his debut film, Mujhse Kucch Kehna Hai, and this film. He's not a bad actor but he's just not a star who I would go out and watch films of. He can be adorable and I enjoy his dancing.

Karan wants to fall in love. I think. Nah. He just want a partner. He's been hurt before. He yearns for this girl name Kiran. Well, he thinks that's her name. She came to see his boss DK. He thinks this Kiran lives in a mansion and is filthy rich.

Ritiesh Deshmukh is such an underrated actor. He's such a natural at comedy. One of my favorite films of his is Apna Sapna Money Money. I would love to see him do an all-out romantic role. With his goofy looks, I can see him pull a Raj from Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayene or Sameer from Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam. All he has to do is be connected with the right people. Look what happened to Arjun Rampal and Shreyas Talpade.

Urmila Matondkar, no seriously, that's Isha's character in this film. LOL. She's a bad-ass cop. Even the men are scared of her! She's a hot-tempered tom boy who hates men who messes with females! Definitely the perfect choice to go undercover and capture this serial rapist/killer!

http://i347.photobucket.com/albums/p464/blogspot_images1/Kya%20Kool%20Hai%20Hum/PDVD_015.jpg

OMG, I loved Isha in this film! Her best yet! If you like Sandra Bullock in Miss Congeniality, then you'll fall head over heels for Isha Koppikar in Kya Kool Hai Hum! Getting a makeover, she turns into the hottest cop ever. Move over Gracie Hart! It's Urmila Matondkar for you. Not the real actress, the character, LOL.

http://i347.photobucket.com/albums/p464/blogspot_images1/Kya%20Kool%20Hai%20Hum/PDVD_012.jpg

Rekha, yeah Kya Kool Hai Hum is using well-known actresses' names. She is Kiran's sister and a psychologist.

Neha Dhupia doesn't have a huge role but she is looking great! Ever since Ek Chalis Ki Last Local and Mithya, the former model-turned-actress proves she can act. Beauty with brains.

DK
(Rajendranath Zutshi) is Rahul and Karan's boss.

Rahul mistakenly thinks that this hot girl's name is Kiran.

But this is the real Kiran.

Bobby Darling has been seen in so many movies in small roles in films such as Page 3, Chalte Chalte, Na Tum Jaano Na Hum, etc. I think he's hilarious!!!

http://i347.photobucket.com/albums/p464/blogspot_images1/Kya%20Kool%20Hai%20Hum/PDVD_027.jpg

Dr. Screwala, yes seriously, is played by Anupam Kher. He is a professional doctor who has a degree in criminal psychology and is helping the police with the investigation.

http://i347.photobucket.com/albums/p464/blogspot_images1/Kya%20Kool%20Hai%20Hum/PDVD_006.jpg

Parvati (Shoma Anand) is Mrs Screwala. She mistakenly thinks her husband is having an affair with undercover Urmila because she doesn't know what is going on!

Song #1 - "Kya Kool Hai Hum"
Just like the Wedding Crashers, best buddies Rahul and Karan crash a high school reunion pretending to be someone else. They say Kya Kool Hai Hum. Literally meaning How Cool We Are.

Song #2 - "Dil Na Churana" aka "One Night"
Song sung by Jay Sean, Juggy D, and Veronica. This song along is reason why I watched this film. DK has a fashion show and the British stars perform on stage.

Song #3 - "Chala Chala Chala"
The women seduce the men. Mrs Shrewala seduces her husband because she thinks he is having an affair so she's trying to be sexy. Urmila seduces Rahul because she thinks he is the rapist/killer and wants to catch him in the act. Rekha seduces Karan because Kiran is her brother/sister and wonders if Karan went the other way after she broke his heart.

Kya Kool Hai Hum is the first and only Bollywood comedy that has implied, innocent sexual contents. Although it's not as extreme as American Pie, I was surprise to see it in a Bollywood film. Now, this movie isn't for everyone. I don't expect that but if you want to watch a funny modern Bollywood film that is more Hollywood, then this is for you. Many Americans and Hmong people complain about Indian slapstick comedy. This is nothing like it. Watch it and tell me what you think. This review is for Ajnabi.

Here are examples of some implied, innocent sexual contents. So you be the judge if you think this is too much for you. Or just plain funny, like I did.

Rahul is running from his former landlord. While hanging on the balcony, it looks like he's a peeping tom.

Rahul works at DK's fashion store. He puts the naked mannequin in the car but the screw gets stuck on his shirt and is found in this position.

Mithya - Nothing fake about the acting

http://i347.photobucket.com/albums/p464/blogspot_images1/Mithya/mithya1.jpg

Mithya is about a struggling actor name VK (Ranvir Shorey) who dreams to make it big in the film industry. One day he witnesses a murder scene and inform the cops about it. Just chilling in the barber shop, he gets aducted by thugs. When he thought he was going to die, the thugs indicate they want VK to act in a real role. Because VK resembles a Don name Raje, VK is to impersonate Raje's lifestyle. Will VK do it?

http://i347.photobucket.com/albums/p464/blogspot_images1/Mithya/mithya.jpg

Mithya was recommended to me twice. First of all, just looking at the posters and stills, I thought Mithya was going to be a comedy like Mixed Doubles, which I saw and liked. Like Mixed Doubles, Mithya has Rajat Kapoor directing it and starring Ranvir Shorey. Rajat Kapoor impressed me with his acting in Corporate. He impresses me more with his storytelling and directing skills. So I finally got a copy of Mithya and decided to watch it.

http://i347.photobucket.com/albums/p464/blogspot_images1/Mithya/PDVD_003.jpg

Ranvir Shorey is an amazing and underrated actor. Although he looks goofy and can act goofy depending on his character, he astounds me when he has a serious character. I usually see him in supporting roles. However, when he teams up with Rajat Kapoor - the movie is sure to make an impact on you. Ranvir was just too good as VK. From the beginning scene to him as a junior actor to impersonating a dangerous Don, Ranvir makes you glue to his character wondering what will happen next. He's such a versatile actor that the majority of audience just don't see that because of the type of films he chooses to be in. Just a side note, I'm so happy he and Konkona Sen Sharma are engaged now. (Read article here.) I think they make such a cute couple. She's my favorite working actress right now due to pure acting talent.

Neha Dhupia plays Sonam. She works for the gangsters but ends up falling in love with VK. Sonam's love for VK was so sweet. She risked her life to help him out. Neha has always been playing second fiddle to other actresses or a sexy item girl or even films that didn't show others her acting capabilities. Ever since I saw her in Ek Chalis Ki Last Local, I was amazed by her acting. I've never seen Neha acted this well before. I'm glad she is picky about her roles but yet stay sexy in item songs when she wants to. Forget the other Miss India's who has no talent (ahem Celina Jaitley, sorry fans, she's gorgeous but can not act). She and Gul Panang are Miss India's Beauty + Brains.

Naseeruddin Shah rarely disappoints. He plays Gavde, the leader of the gang. He sets up VK to impersonate Raje.

http://i347.photobucket.com/albums/p464/blogspot_images1/Mithya/PDVD_009.jpg

Vinay Pathak plays Ram, Gavde's sidekick. Ram is the brains of the mission to get VK to play Raje.

http://i347.photobucket.com/albums/p464/blogspot_images1/Mithya/PDVD_002.jpg

Although the movie is more "arty," there were comical times. The scene when VK's picture was taken and compared to Raje was funny. At first I thought the movie would end up like Super Star but I was wrong.

http://i347.photobucket.com/albums/p464/blogspot_images1/Mithya/PDVD_012.jpg

Even though the movie doesn't focus on VK and Sonam's short love story, Sonam gets punished for falling in love with VK.

After watching the movie, I was still thinking about it. I was unsure whether or not I liked it. I was mad the movie wasn't long enough. (It was only 1 hour 45 minutes). Plus in the middle of the movie, about five minutes or so of the film wasn't subtitled!! It just dropped. Then I thought about how brilliant the film was made. The fast paced movement of the film keeps you waiting to see what will happen next. Thinking whether or not, VK can go through with pretending to be Raje got me anxious for him. The movie has a good twists and turns in the film (not too many like Race). Looks like a comedy but it's not. It's a simple, well-made, low-budget, undderrated film worth watching if you like these type of movies.
