Khoya Khoya Chand - Wogma Readers Reviews

Khoya Khoya Chand

Shiney Ahuja, Soha Ali Khan, Rajat Kapoor Dir: Sudhir Mishra
wogma rating: Watch if you have nothing better to do (?)
quick review: Khoya Khoya Chand jumps from sub-plot to sub-plot showcasing only the end result in each case and not the process that led to it. It feels like the crew took a break after each sequence and the loss of continuity shows. While the songs reflect the charm of the 50s, you might be better off just listening to them.

i couldnt help but wonder if this could have been a better movie had mishra got the casting of his principal characters right ..soha was good as an aspiring and upcoming startlet but when she had to transform in to meena kumari like doomed actress she was just not believable and definitely the director could have done better than to cast rajat kapoor as the ageing superstar , he just doesnt have the range to play out this complex character .

also it was quite funny to watch this "circle of love" unfold with prem kumar ,nikhat ,ratnabali and zafar sleeping with each other at some point of time (of course not zafar and prem kumar LOL !) ..reminded me of "Closer".

the film does have some nice moments but overall just doesnt work as a whole , the episodic fragmented narrative fails to captivate through the movie's length and movie starts to feel long ,really long . was this the longest film ive seen this year or it just felt that way , have to check the movie's running duration!!

I have just seen this film and would like to say i found it completely mind-blowing. It was such a refreshing change to watch compared to the rest of these big budget bollywood 'hits'. It was filmed, scripted & crafted so well, it succesfully transports you into the hindi film industry of the 60s of dinner parties, painted film posters etc. You feel as though u r those times watching this story happening right infront of your eyes. The acting of all actors is superb with not a single actor over/underacting there part, the best performances coming from soha & Rajat Kapoor. The story feels so real yet entertaining, that never at one pt does it become predictable, the acting is flawless & never lets down the story so much so you come out of the film thinking this actually happened in the 60s. I diagree with the reviewr as the ending is not predictable...in fact its anyhting but a typical boy-meets-girl live happily evr after story. So If you want to watch class indian cinema far above anything which is out right now, well crafted story, superb acting & be touched by a film, I urge you to watch this film. Well done Sudhir Mishra, thk you for making such an amazing film...It truly touched evry1 in the cinema

O-ho, Morph, we agree on a movie! For the split second between when your comment was downloading in my inbox and when I read it, I was thinking, "wonder what Morph liked in this one?"

I completely agree with you about casting too. The side effect of agreement though is that there is no further discussion, all we can do is some general movie-bashing. Where's the fun in that?

Sana, somehow the movie didn't work for me. Just being unpredictable is not enough. What uncovers has to somehow have relevance with the rest of the movie, which doesn't quite happen here.

Thanks for the comments Morph and Sana!

I think Meetu, you've really under rated this movie :-). You could have easily given one more star to it.

> Khoya Khoya Chand revolves around Nikhat and her relationships.

I don' think so. It revolves around passion, love, hunger of success, changing priorities of life, pain of being ahead of your time... and more than everything it revolves around the golden era of cinema, and what those people suffered from.

> But, after having blindly accepted that, I think I deserve a peep into how the couple spends time together and how they grow apart.

Here also I don't agree with you. Someone gave a reference to Closer. Closer is more about lust, possessiveness, jealousy, lies and all such kind of negativity.
Where as KKC is delicate movie. For me KKC has only one love story, story of Nikhat and Zafar, unless you are thinking making love with someone is equivalent to loving that person.

I think, you under rated dialogues also. Few of the dialogues were really brilliant.

> And the other technical aspects are extraordinarily bizarre.

I agree with this.

Regards,

Rahul Mate:

Hallo,

Meetu I have read your review. You are terribly wrong about this film. Your writing shows the immatureness writing film criticism. You need to watch world cinema. You need to join film appreciation classes.
I am a film graduate and a film professor I also make films. Today when I was just searching net I came across your review.
Film making is a very compels affair. Human life is a mystery. This film offers; Film inside a film. We are offered fiction which is there in the film they make and the reality which is the rest of the film. We may find relationship between them at some point and may not find at some point. Try and see the character and their personal life. What they do and what do they say. You may find a difference in it. What is that difference?
You need to think. You will not get every thing on platter. You have to find it.
Director compel us to compare fiction vs non fiction.
Best of luck.

meetu:

@Rahul well, if they are any certificates, i am exposed to world cinema and also did the film appreciation course at FTII, Pune 3 years ago.

I hopefully have learnt over the years and become a better reader of films. Maybe just maybe, if I saw the film again, I'd like it a shade or two better, but there are so many other films that I haven't seen, and somehow I don't think a second viewing is worth the effort. I appreciate your take on the film. But, if a movie doesn't make me feel like watching it again, it has said what it has to say to me, right?
