Aziz Mirza is back. Okay, Chalte Chalte was a damp squib- but that shouldn’t stop us from looking forward to his next release after quite some time. The first look of Kismat Konnection is out, and hey, it doesn’t look bad at all.
Thankfully, neither does its lead actress, the gorgeous but sartorially-challenged Vidya Balan, who after much flak for her wardrobe on and off-screen, manages to look quite pretty here. There’s no drastic ‘makeover’ as such, but Shabina Khan’s (who replaced Aki Narula after he had differences with Vidya) styling seems to have worked well, even if it isn’t absolutely stunning. One can safely say that you can finally get over the shock of seeing her dressed as a 70’s vamp at a jewellery store launch and as a Christmas tree at the Filmfare Awards.
Okay, enough about Vidya Balan- forgive my exaggerated concern about her costumes, but I think her ‘demure Indian’ image is limiting this talented and beautiful and charming and… (okay, enough) actress who just needs a good stylist.
Vidya, of course stars alongside Shahid Kapur, who is fresh from the success of Jab We Met in this romantic comedy. The chemistry isn’t scorching, but there seems to be a nice cute vibe there- they look nice together, though time will tell how this on-screen pair clicks. Aziz Mirza’s close friend- the effervescent Juhi Chawla also stars in a guest role, and reportedly plays a gypsy woman.
The first promo has the now typical split-screens coupled with wannabe-rap type but catchy music (wonder who’s done the music) , but on the whole comes across as pretty fresh and peppy.
This should definitely be one worth looking forward to. Take a look.
