Bumbling, uncivilized losers have long fascinated certain filmmakers. It’s curious really, because there’s a limit to how much time and money a viewer can invest in the stories of such uninteresting or more accurately, downright despicable characters.Kisse Pyaar Karoon’s opening credits appear against a blindingly yellow background, with a man’s voice screeching the title at a glass-breaking decibel. Arshad Warsi starts talking directly to us explaining why this film’s story is not like Lagaan, Devdas or LOC. He then guffaws that LOC didn’t have a story to begin with, which you reckon is a comment in questionable taste considering Kisse Pyaar Karoon doesn’t even seem a proper film.
Warsi plays wise guy Sid who along with friends John (Ashish Chaudhary) and Amit (Yash Tonk) is clueless and jobless. These are grown-up men who watch cricket matches in a room with popcorn strewn all over, they dance on other people’s furniture when someone scores a six, and generally roam the streets doing nothing, looking unshaven and unshowered. And oh yes, these three actors play college kids, which makes for the only hilarious aspect in the film.
