Letβs kick this off with a zinger, shall we? π So, here we have a film, "Kartam Bhugtam", that seems to have taken the phrase "What goes around comes around" a tad too seriously. And I, your beloved Review Rani, am here to give my two cents on it.
The crux of the story, my dear Bollywood savvies, is about this NRI chap, Dev Joshi (played by Shreyas Talpade). His grand plan? To sell off his late papaβs belongings and make a quick buck. But as luck would have it, he stumbles upon our esteemed astrologer, Anna (Vijay Raaz). Now, this isnβt your run-of-the-mill horoscope reader. No, siree! Heβs the real deal β predicting your future like heβs got a crystal ball for a brain.
Our Dev though, heβs a skeptic. He doesnβt buy into this hocus pocus. Well, until things start going south and the astrologerβs words start haunting him like a Bollywood music track on loop. (You know what I mean, right?) π
I must say, the screenplay does keep you on your toes with unexpected twists and turns. Itβs like trying to walk in heels after a few glasses of wine; you never know when you might stumble. But the real stars here are our lead actors, Shreyas and Vijay, who have managed to pull off their roles convincingly.
But, hold your horses! π΄ Whereβs our female protagonist, you ask? Madhoo, the evergreen beauty, graces us with her presence as Annaβs devoted wife and a God-fearing teacher. But, oh dear! Her character lacks depth, just like the plot of a typical Bollywood rom-com. And letβs not forget our supporting actress, Aksha Pardasany. Sheβs there, sheβs trying, but thatβs about it.
The movie flows like a steady stream, no unnecessary distractions, no forced drama. A little too simplistic, if you ask me. But hey, itβs also the filmβs strength. It sticks to its point β Karmaβs gonna get ya! Itβs like a puppy chasing its tail, no matter how far you run, itβs always there.
So, all in all, "Kartam Bhugtam" is a decent watch. It serves a slice of life with a side of thriller, and a dash of moral lesson. Just remember, my folks, in this game of life, Karma is the player and weβre all just pawns. π²
Raniβs Wrap-Up: If youβre in for a simplistic tale of Karma served with a side of thrill, then "Kartam Bhugtam" might just be your cup of chai. But remember, donβt take it too seriously or you might find yourself checking your horoscope every five minutes. π
