Kal Kisne Dekha
Cast: Jackky Bhagnani, Vaishali Desai, Rishi Kapoor
Director: Vivek Sharma

After about two and half month strike, multiplexes are back in business, which means you can finally watch movies on the big screen again.
The bad news is: You may not really want to watch this week's big-ticket release. It's called Kal Kisne Dekha.

The film stars a producer's son, with a fairly feminine or canine name, Jacky. As they say in Bollywood, this is a "launch vehicle". Or it's a sort of movie that places future stars into the film galaxy.

The purpose of such a picture is merely to present an actor in various poses. He would do everything imaginable as an audition for future films. If you've seen Love Story 2050, ok I know you haven't, but you'd know, what I'm talking about.

Basically the whacky Jacky shows off his cleavage in shirts, and sleeveless, torn T-shirts. And we get to know all that he's great at. For one, he's a scientist. He can crack electrical codes. He pumps iron like no one else. He has the best dance moves. He plays the mandolin, can blow the trumpet. He is comical. But he can also bash up baddies real bad. And once he even ducks a bullet in slow-motion.

Such films should actually be super-hero flicks. It would make suspension of disbelief a lot easier. Unfortunately, between everything else, the filmmakers also have to squeeze in a storyline. And this one is phenomenal. The hero can look into the future. He has a professor who wants to bomb the airport, mall and train stations of Mumbai because he was once kicked out of NASA's lab. Whatever that means. So, the hero must save Mumbai from getting bombed and of course he must save his girlfriend too.

To be honest, the only bomb I can see is this film itself. We wish it all the best. Also because, a movie like this tells us how such great gems are neatly tucked away in Bollywood and they quickly enter and exit public memory.

I have seen the movie. Now the trend is something. Jacky has got lots of publicity. Now even befor ethe relase of the film, i m sure that he has bagged some films in his kitty. He is a good actor and if approached with some good , story and director, his career will also click. love2050, though flop, does not mean that Harry will not make comeback. (Example...Junior bacchan) All the best to all of you.

I went in the theatre with my expectations, well, not sky high, and I am coming back pleasantly surprised. Surrealistic genre is hardly tried in Indian cinema, and those who try it, make a mockery out of it, but Director Vivek Sharma has delivered a film that balances all the finer aspects of bollywood with the rare and wonderful concept of bollywood in one film. Jacky Bhagnani looks amazingly comfortable as an actor, and plays his role of an odd ball yet charming youngster quite well. The college scenes of the movie are real breeze, thoroughly enjoyable (I didn’t think I would ever say that after watching 1000 movies with same college scenes), and the twist in the tale is well executed. At the end of it, I think this is going to be the surprise hit of the year, and I won’t be surprised to see this new kid Jacky join the league

ok Shaky, so you don't like the movie but why make personal comments about the actor's name. Not cool
