Katti Batti
wogma rating: Watch if you have nothing better to do (?)
After a breakup time stands still for the lovers or maybe it goes in reverse. Katti Batti holds time still and you wish it'd move in any direction, just move.

Katti Batti - Preview
Two Nikhil Advani movies in two consecutive weeks. I am not sure if I am ready for that but I surely am ready for some candy floss urban romance where the only people against them coming together are their personalities. Or rather the combination of the personalities.
On the surface, Katti Batti comes across just like that. However, within the two-minute trailer itself it gets a little tiring and repetitive and dare I say, walks down the beaten path – marriage.
Sure, the lead lady character is whacky and it is exciting to see Kangna Ranaut play it. Also, Imran Khan fits into the simple boy mold well. But, the conflict that we don't know of seems to be a bait to a run-of-the mill climax. The hope then is that, there will be some fun and/or romantic moments along the way that will make the experience worth its while. Also, no harm hoping that one is wrong about the climax.

We've seen and are even used to what we fondly call, “mindless comedy”. Katti Batti is a “mindless romance”. The kind where the destination was known but the path to the venue seemed to be unchartered. It felt like the writer knew, they had a rough idea of what they wanted on the way. A little comedy - slapstick even, the typical woo-ing and faking nonchalance, and a lot of lingering around with nothing happening.
For some reason it felt like the run-time was decided before the script - the movie has to be this long no matter how you reach the number. Add songs, add random back and forth, add inconsequential scenes. No matter if they don't hold an iota of viewer's interest.
It is understandable that there can be no logic when love is at first sight. But, doesn't a romantic film let you in on why the relationship has held together so long? You can tell why Madhav Kabra (Imran Khan) has fallen in love with the chirpy Paayal Malhotra (Kangna Ranaut) but you don't know her side of the story at all. Why is she with him?
Anyway, we have to be convinced because he is convinced. So we accept and move on. But move on, he just doesn't. Yes, at least one end of a couple finds it very difficult to let go after most breakups. Our man Madhav aka Maddy seems to be the one in this love story. And that is pretty much the story. That he doesn't give up. That his gut tells him what his eyes see and brain processes don't ring true.
But, you get that in the first 10-15 minutes of the film while the film spends the next hour and more making sure you got the intensity right. Except that, it doesn't work on the intensity. It just asks you to believe the sulking Imran Khan. You don't feel the pain, other than the one when you realise it is not even interval yet.
Other than the back and forth time-line that the film uses to go between Madhav-Paayal's present break-up era and the years gone by when their love blossomed, Katti Batti has very little to keep you interested. And that too gets boring after a bit. In fact, the criss-crossing time-lines seem to have confused the writer themselves and the “physical intimacy” chronology is a little difficult to believe. In the middle of a making out scene, Madhav claims he just wants to cuddle in response to Paayal's “You want to make love, don't you?” Just doesn't fit in.
So, the makers try to make it up with different kind of picturisation for a few of the songs. It is intriguing, entertaining even. But, it gives the film a surreal video album kind of a glaze. Making the story even more unbelievable than it already is. That leaves all the onus of making something worthwhile in the film to the lead cast. Since what we can call the story is from Madhav's point of view, Kangna Ranaut hardly has worthy screen time. And the by the time she does have some meat to play around with, it is too late. Madhav on the other hand, has two modes in his point of view – sulk and smitten. He does play both reasonably well, but then again nothing we haven't seen before. It also feels like the romantic lead label for Imran Khan comes more from his chocolate-boy looks than actual romance.
No romance, zilch comedy in this rom-com. Should they stop trying so hard to remake movies and try their hand at some novel story-telling if not original stories?

ps. A quick word about the use of FOSLA – Frustrated One Sided Lovers' Association. Way back in 1995-96, I am pretty sure, one from our group of friends had come up with this idea/concept. It was surprising to hear of the book, a rumor about a film and then see it in Katti Batti today. I guess, things had their own way of going viral back then. :D

Thumbs up, by Subhash K Jha, Bolly Spice : ...You may accuse Nikhil Advani’s film of being dull in parts. But never does he fail to lift a scene with his sincere faith in the power of love to heal and nurture the human spirit. This is an intimate funny quirky rom-com about love life and, yes, the loo. Stylishly shot and packaged, it keeps our interest alive to the finale. ... full review
So-So, Bollywood Life : ...Imran Khan is back in form, as he makes for a believable lead, someone whom you can empathise with. Kangana Ranaut is spunky and cute, but since the first half revolved around Imran Khan, I am sure there is more of her in the second half. The Sarfira song is foot- tapping. If I felt there is anything awkward about the film, it is the caricaturisation of certain supporting characters and a couple of long drawn scenes.... full review
So-So, by Prerna Singh, Desi Martini : ...A one time watch, do not expect much from Katti Batti! ... full review
So-So, by Rachit Gupta, Filmfare : ...Director Nikhil Advani’s efforts in making Katti Batti are pretty evident. His film looks top notch with its visuals as well as detailing all on mark. The opening credits done with the stop motion video is a nice touch too. It’s just the total turnaround from being a quirky romance to a weepy love saga seems a bit jarred. The humour doesn’t work at all. The music is just about okay as well. It could all have been slightly better, but even so, what plays out on screen is largely good enough for fans of the romantic genre. ... full review
So-So, by Jaidev Hemmady, Movie Talkies : ...However, all said and done, Katti Batti is quite a visually appealing emotional roller-coaster ride with some good music thrown in. Watch it for the performances and the emotional quotient. ... full review
So-So, by Sonia Chopra, Sify Movies : ...Ah, it’s going to be some more waiting at the theatres, I guess. Watch it if you must for Ranaut’s crackerjack act. ... full review
So-So, by Srijana Mitra Das, Times of India : ...Somewhere between glossy ad, glassy music video, sitcom and masala movie, Katti Batti leaves you pouting. This could've had the lusty, gutsy power of a full-blown French kiss - it ends up a pleasant but passing peck on the cheek. ... full review
So-So, by Rummana, yahoo! India : ...‘Katti Batti’ has some nice songs and the ‘Kissiyan’ number deserves a special mention but that is about it. This love story is not worth investing in. ... full review
So-So, by Ritika Handoo, Zee News : ...Watch it for you might want to see some 'Katti Batti' moments this weekend. Be prepared for the unexpected! ... full review
Thumbs down, by Anna MM Vetticad, annavetticadgoes2themovies : ...Doesn’t work. You see, Katti Batti is an irredeemable, unsalvageable mess. ... full review
Thumbs down, by Baradwaj Rangan, Blogical Conclusion, The New Sunday Express : ...Whatever little pleasure there is in Katti Batti comes from watching her. She has great instincts – she’s always a second or two off with whatever she’s doing, she catches you unawares. She affects the most unusual inflections in her line readings. And she’s completely comfortable with her body. It all adds up to a singular screen presence. The way she lights up after coming home and setting eyes on Milkha – you could rub your hands over that look on a cold night. I first kept thinking she deserved better. But without the likes of her, how would we ever make it through ... full review
Thumbs down, by Bobby Sing, Bobby Talks Cinema.com : ...In the end, I would simply like to add that these big production houses keep serving us with the same content again and again and again, because we actually let them do so making no protests of any kind whatsoever as a paying viewer. So till we decide to show some concerning guts, this arrogant act of making such repetitive and ridiculous movies would continue as always without any major hindrance. ... full review
Thumbs down, Bollywood Hungama : ...On the whole, due to its weak script and non-engaging narrative, KATTI BATTI will face 'katti' from the audience at the box-office. ... full review
Thumbs down, by Deepa Gahlot, cinemaah : ...Hollywood does the quite romcom well, Bollywood is struggling to catch up, so much so that English lines are translated literally into Hindi. Who says woh aage badh chuki hai, for she has moved on? ... full review
Thumbs down, by Suparna Sharma, Deccan Chronicle : ...About 10 minutes into Katti Batti, I started having violent thoughts. These thoughts intensified when I recalled photos of Aamir Khan crying phoot-phoot ke after watching Katti Batti a few days ago. Aamir Khan, Imran Khan’s mama or chacha or whatever, should have at least tweeted that those were tears of deep frustration. That he was howling because he had been impaled for over two hours by this nonsense... full review

Thumbs down, by Mohit Patil , Desi Martini : ...An extremely messed up romance which has its moments, but is far too problematic to work. ... full review
Thumbs down, by Tushar P. Joshi, DNA : ...Katti Batti has a promising start, but a weak script and some run of the mill moments kills the chances of it turning into something worth your time and money. ... full review
Thumbs down, by Gayatri Gauri, FirstPost : ...By now, Khan has mastered the art of being the most irritating, obsessive, heartbroken teenager seen on screen. As for the missing Ranaut, it’s best to revisit her last film than suffer this one. ... full review
Thumbs down, by Johnson Thomas, Free Press Journal : ...Songs are niche and forgettable, tempo is uneven, tone goes beserk and Imran and Kangana are likeable but did they really think this film would take them places? ... full review
Thumbs down, by Zehra Abbas , fullhyd.com : ...By the time the big reveal happens towards the end of the movie, you're already fidgeting impatiently in your seat. At this point, the change in emotional tone, and the descent into maudlin sentimentality is pretty jarring. Again, Khan and Ranaut salvage the ending somewhat, but the audience is left confused, and also feeling a wee bit manipulated. ... full review
Thumbs down, by Martin D'Souza, Glamsham.com : ...It's difficult to believe that we are seeing such inane stuff on screen from a director who gave us D-DAY. If at all Nikhil wanted the script to tug at one's heart, he should have seen ANKHIYON KE JHAROKHON SE 10 times and then redone the movie. ... full review
Thumbs down, by Rohit Vats, Hindustan Times : ...It’s a terribly bad film. A rehash of old Bollywood hits, Katti Batti is far from perfection. All the claims of a fresh love-story were false, it doesn’t offer anything. Two lines from Roger’s song sum up the essence of Katti Batti: ... full review
Thumbs down, by Suhani Singh, india today : ...Katti Batti like last year's Happy Ending tries to be an interesting experiment at a romantic comedy but falls short. ... full review
Thumbs down, by Surabhi Redkar, koimoi : ...Katti Batti is a stale, boring and insensible film that seems like a mockery at love and relationships, thanks to its crassness. In keeping with the efforts put by Imran Khan and Kangana Ranaut who are the only good things in this film, I am going with a 2/5 for it. ... full review
Thumbs down, by Uday Bhatia, Live Mint : ...Because there’s no effort made to develop any characters besides Madhav and (to a lesser extent) Payal, there aren’t any supporting performances to speak of. Khan is fine in the courting scenes—offhand charm comes easily to him—but isn’t a theatrical enough performer to make Madhav’s wallowing very interesting. Ranaut, lacking the sort of definition she’s had in her last few roles, is rarely as enigmatic as the film needs her to be, though she finds her poise in the closing minutes. ... full review
Thumbs down, by Divya Solgama, MoviezADDA : ...Dum??? Well, the movie has a decent one-liner story with few enjoyable scenes and a decent soundtrack. However, besides these minimal positive points, the movie lacks highly on the main ingredient required for a love story and that is, romantic moments. There is nothing neither fresh nor new in this Ghisi Piti (stale) love story making it yet another edition of the flop movies in director Nikhil Advani's cap. ... full review
Thumbs down, by Troy bibeiro, NDTV : ...But what the director does not realise is that too much masala could spoil his film, at least for the audience.Overall, the tragedy of Katti Batti lies in the fault of its director. ... full review
Thumbs down, by Raja Sen, Rediff : ...Katti Batti just smells wrong -- and that may well be the most universal dealbreaker of all. ... full review
Thumbs down, by Jyothi Venkatesh, Star Blockbuster : ...Last Word: Nikhil Advani has let down the audiences once again after last week’s disaster Hero and one starts wondering whether he had really directed Kal Ho Na Ho since every film of his has tanked at the box office whether it was Patiala House, Chandni Chowk to China, D Day, Safari or Hero.... full review
Thumbs down, by ViSHAL MENON, The Hindu : ...Imran Khan has clearly poured his heart out into yet another disappointing film — a film which, before release, seemed like it could get him back in the game, teaming up as he was with Kangana. As for Kangana, one wonders why she chose to work in a film which has so little for her to do… at this stage of her career. Oh Kangana… just when you were at arm’s length of superstardom. ... full review

Now why would anybody want to go and watch this film?
Imraan Khan seems to be sleepwalking in a role that he has done umpteen times - remember Break ke baad, I hate love stories, Gori tere pyaar mein, ek mein aur ek tu. Thoroughly stereocasted.
Kangana's histrionics are as annoying as they have always been.
As regards the promos: all the various tid-bits that are revealed showcase the naughty adults oriented jokes. Clearly catering to youth in metros. This means forget the rest of India - zero connect and so zero business. Forget the papa-mama, dadi-dada, nani-nana type of audiences - promos tell them clearly to stay at home : once again zero connect and so zero business. As for the target audience (looking at promos at least): the young generation is fed with much better adults jokes and entertainment than what is shown in the promos. They are not going to fall hook bait and sinker for this stinker.
In short, it is headed in the direction where it should head - i.e. heavy commercial flops of the year.
FOSLA was also mentioned in 'Dum Laga' song of movie 'Dil Dosti etc'.
Dear Meetu, When has Nikhil Advani given a good movie? He has sophistication, connection, understands technique of movie making, can convince and talk to bollywood honchos confidently to put money behind him. But what he comes out with is... Uhh... I think, he hopes one day after 10 flops he will give a big hit. He may. But who is going to bear the torture of those 9 movies?
Two Back to Back junks From Nikhil Advani.
The bad thing is that even the direction is not good this time.
Next time it would be difficult for anyone to put money on Nikhil Advani.
Even Welcome Back was much more entertaining than this.
To select this movie Kangna has done a fault because she was barely getting any long scenes until the last 20 mins .
And i dont know how far Imran Khan is going doing the same characters in each and every movie (still not getting better in the same role) ..
How can one think of watching a movie of Imran Khan? Barring Jane tu, what else he has done? I preferred sleeping at home.
"I preferred sleeping at home"
ha ha ha - apt one-liner for the film.
No worthwhile or exciting release lined up for the next few weeks. Looks like 2015 is going to be a wipe-out year for Hindi films.
The next biggie on which all eyes would be hovering now is the Suraj Barjatya's next. Remains to be seen how much will James Bond eat into the Rajashree's revenues.
@DSS yeah, I remember it being used elsewhere, but couldn't place it. Thank you.
@Raj D Well, I didn't mind salaam-e-ishq that much. Also, I am a movie-optimist. I almost always have hope.
Katti Batti is emotional torture I love Kangana but sorry you owe me 700
