What is trying about this film is that it doesn’t give you the kind of suspension from disbelief that is a must for this kind of theme. Monty is a famous rock star in South Africa and travels to Kenya for a holiday, which is where he had lived in his previous life. The film is shot entirely in South Africa and Kenya. His fans are bound to love him in the movie even though his acting is no great shakes. His swinging gait, soft expressive face and the way he sings, make him right for the role even though he doesn’t have the looks or the body to play the typical Bollywood hero. That said, this film is all about Himesh Reshammiya. Reincarnation as a theme is fine, but the whole rigmarole of the mothers exhorting sons to revenge, larger than life villains and helpless women waiting for a man to come and rescue them can put off today’s generation. The 1980 Karz (Rishi Kapoor and Tina Munim) was a blockbuster, but one wonders whether blockbusters should be remade. Remakes are rarely as good as their originals and Karzzz is no exception.
