Movie Review: Karz

Director: Satish Kaushik
Producer: is Bhushan Kumar
Stars: Himesh Reshammiya, Urmila Matondkar, Shweta Kumar, Dino Morea, Gulshan Grover, Danny Denzongpa and Rohini Hattangadi
Singer: Himesh Reshammiya

This movie is a remake of an old hindi movie, Karz. The only important character apart from Himesh’s is that of Kamini which is played by Urmila. Urmila Matondkar has fared her role excellently well. Shweta Kumar as Tina looks beautiful, but her role demands no scope for histrionics. Gulshan Grover as Sir Judah in his unusual get up leaves a mark. Dino Morea again has nothing much to do. The music isn’t as good as expected with Himesh in the movie as a central figure. Too many songs in the first half prove a hindrance to the film’s pace.
