Review: Kya Super Kool Hai Hum

-->
Rating: 1.5/5

Out of many Bollywood sequels releasing this year, Kyaa Super Kool Hain Hum was the only comedy. Promos had already annoyed many, including the censor board. Ekta Kapoor is known to defend her movies and as we know she has been choosing subjects that are always controversial.

The movie has the same two characters from its prequel; Adi (Tusshar Kapoor) is an aspiring actor who makes money by doing embarrassing TV commercials, while Sid (Ritesh Deshmukh) is yet to be a successful DJ. They both are best friends and are looking for a chance to make it big in their lives. They have a pug named Fakhru/Sakhru (there was a big uproar about the dog's name from the presidential family) who impregnates barren female dogs in several clinics and thus earns money for Adi and Sid. As it happens in pointless so called comedy movies, complications lead Adi and Sid to land up in Goa where they find Simran (Neha Sharma) and Anu (Sarah Jane-Dias) then the love story begins. To make matters worst, we have Anupam Kher as Mr. Marlowe who believes Baba 3G (Chunky Pandey) when he lets him know that his parents are re-incarnated as pugs!

It is not the story that engages you but, I guess it’s the double meaning adultery dialogues that will make you laugh if you can understand them. Producers have left no stone unturned in humiliating gays, lesbians and even Indian names. The movie has gone through major edits on the Censor table and despite that it has got ‘A’ certificate along with no clearance to premier on television any time soon. Nevertheless, the movie still has managed to find audiences in large numbers, especially the youth.

Talking about the actors and actresses in the movie, they solely rely on the shameless punch lines given to them with a little pinch of acting. It is very sad to see Veteran actor Anupam Kher play an absolute non-sense character. Tusshar is hopeless, I wouldn’t hesitate to say that about Ritesh as well despite knowing that he has done decent roles in the past. Neha and Sarah just end up being eye candy characters that help connect the dots in the story with their respective co-partners. Sister Ekta Kapoor makes fun of her brother by roping in Rohit Shetty which is so lame.

Songs are unnecessary, cinematography is poor and the script…are you kidding? Director Sachin Yardi who had co-written the prequel (a surprise hit) this time seems to have written and directed with a gun to his head.

Watch it only if you are in need of a desperate laugh. Most of the jokes are common ones circulating as Facebook statuses or on SMS and email.

It’s a movie that is not worth a review.
