In the world of Bollywood, where the complexity of love stories often rivals quantum physics, the film "Kahaan Shuru Kahaan Khatam" (KSKK) attempts to be a breath of fresh air. But, ha! The only thing it does is make you wish for a gas mask. This one is a unique take on the runaway bride trope, with a generous dollop of confusion and a pinch of hilarity thrown in. But, let’s not get ahead of ourselves.
The plot revolves around our damsel-in-distress Meera, played by Dhvani Bhanushali, who bolts from her own wedding. The drama intensifies when an uninvited guest named Krish, portrayed by Aashim Gulati, is mistaken as the accomplice in her grand escape plan. This misunderstanding sets the stage for an array of comedic moments and an undercurrent of emotional tension.
Director Saurabh Dasgupta tries to weave a simple tale amidst the chaos, but alas! This film is as simple as assembling an IKEA bookshelf without instructions. The screenplay, penned by Laxman Utekar and Rishi Virmani, attempts to address gender equality and the silencing of women’s voices. But, the depth it sinks to is about as shallow as a kiddie pool.
Bhanushali, a pop singer, tries her best to act and ends up reminding us that she should stick to her day job. Gulati, as Krish, manages to convince us that he’s as clueless as we are about why he’s in this film. Their supposed romance is about as sizzling as a wet matchstick.
The supporting cast, including the veterans Rakesh Bedi and Supriya Pilgaonkar as Krish’s parents, and Vikram Kochhar and Himanshu Kohli as Meera’s brothers, do their bit to add to the film’s comedic quotient. But, their performances feel as forced as smiles in a school yearbook photo.
The music, just like the film, is forgettable, save for the reprised versions of "Ajeeb Dastaan Hai Ye" and "Ek Ladki Bheegi Bhaagi Si". The nostalgia these songs evoke is about the only emotion this film manages to stir.
In summary, KSKK is a film that tries to be a light-hearted, moral-driven tale but ends up being as impactful as a feather in a hurricane. It could serve as a one-time watch for Gen Z audiences who’ve run out of things to watch on Netflix, but it’s unlikely to leave a lasting impression.
Rani’s Wrap-Up: KSKK is like a bowl of plain rice – it might fill you up, but it’s bland, unexciting, and you’ll forget about it as soon as you’ve finished. 🤷♀️
