First Look: Kismat Konnection

Aziz Mirza is back. Okay, Chalte Chalte was a damp squib- but that shouldn’t stop us from looking forward to his next release after quite some time. The first look of Kismat Konnection is out, and hey, it doesn’t look bad at all.

Thankfully, neither does its lead actress, the gorgeous but sartorially-challenged Vidya Balan, who after much flak for her wardrobe on and off-screen, manages to look quite pretty here. There’s no drastic ‘makeover’ as such, but Shabina Khan’s (who replaced Aki Narula after he had differences with Vidya) styling seems to have worked well, even if it isn’t absolutely stunning. One can safely say that you can finally get over the shock of seeing her dressed as a 70’s vamp at a jewellery store launch and as a Christmas tree at the Filmfare Awards.

Okay, enough about Vidya Balan- forgive my exaggerated concern about her costumes, but I think her ‘demure Indian’ image is limiting this talented and beautiful and charming and… (okay, enough) actress who just needs a good stylist.

Vidya, of course stars alongside Shahid Kapur, who is fresh from the success of Jab We Met in this romantic comedy. The chemistry isn’t scorching, but there seems to be a nice cute vibe there- they look nice together, though time will tell how this on-screen pair clicks. Aziz Mirza’s close friend- the effervescent Juhi Chawla also stars in a guest role, and reportedly plays a gypsy woman.

The first promo has the now typical split-screens coupled with wannabe-rap type but catchy music (wonder who’s done the music) , but on the whole comes across as pretty fresh and peppy.

This should definitely be one worth looking forward to. Take a look.

    She still looks like she picked her clothes off the discount rack. He still looks like the boy with the exaggerated grown up expressions. If one were to go on looks alone then this is a damp squib. But I love Aziz Mirza’s films (yes, even Chalte Chalte), so I will brave the ear insulting Hinglish music, and the poor clothes and acting, and watch the film just for Aziz, and Juhi too.

    I think the music is by Pritam. Hopefully, its original.

    The teaser gives me a feel of a typical Aziz Mirza film with characters from day to day life who are “not” heroic or perfect but still has a lot of goodness in them.

    Get the feeling this is going to be a damp squib.Aziz only made films with SRK and the hype worked..otherwise he was ordinary. Just my 2 cents..this film is going to disappoint.

    The teaser looks great! I am a big fan of Aziz Mirza’s films so completely looking forward to this one! The song is extremely catchy and even if it does have the typical Hinglish lyrics… the music is funky and fresh. Hmm wonder who did the music..?
    Shahid and Vidya don’t necessarily scream ‘chemistry’ but they look adorable and sweet. The film looks great so can’t wait!
