Critic Review
Kaanchi (2014)First, the premise! KAANCHI tells the story of Kaanchi [Mishti], whose life turn upside down when the young son [Rishabh Sinha] of a politician [Mithun Chakraborty] unleashes hell in her life. She decides to pick the pieces of her life by shifting to Mumbai and settling the score with the oppressors. KAANCHI starts off very well, with Ghai capturing certain moments that stay with you. The first hour has several engaging and interesting episodes, while the twist in the tale that leaves Kaanchi shattered is the highpoint of the movie... one expects the post-interval portions to only go forward from this point. Sadly, KAANCHI hits a rough patch in the second hour. What could've been a thought-provoking film deviates into sub-plots that seem far from interesting. For instance, the entire track involving Rishi Kapoor and Mishti looks ridiculous. Additionally, the portions that show Mishti landing herself a job in Mithun's home and the sequence when she discovers the relationship Mithun shares with an important member of his political party is absolutely weird. Even the closing stages -- Mishti fighting the opponent -- is far from real. Like I pointed out earlier, Ghai tries to pack in too much for the entertainment-seeking spectator, which, in the final tally, appears forced in the scheme of things. The run time is another deterrent, which could've controlled had Ghai eliminated the unwanted tracks in the narrative. .
I walk out hastily from the screening, having witnessed a particularly ridiculous final combat, hoping to erase Kaanchi’s absurd imagery and phoney politics with the thumping nostalgia of dhina dhin dha. Now that loyalty, that's unbreakable, Mr Ghai..
All in all, the fight of innocent rural beauty against leading unjust and unethical power is a unique theme, worth to watch and paisa vasool film. The brilliant movie has much more to reveal, so watch the most acclaimed big budget Kaanchi..
Mishti looks a cross between Rani Mukherjee and Mandakini. Hoardings proclaim she is Kaanchi the unbreakable, but her voice is so shrill, it can cut glass. And Mr Ghai you're the maker of Kaalicharan, Vishwanath, Karz, Hero, Ram Lakhan, Karma, Pardes and .
But when she screams and shrieks her voice turns overly screechy and tinny, an aspect that she would definitely need to work on for the long haul.
Kartik Tiwari exudes strong screen presence and shows flashes of qualities needed to be a mainstream Bol.
