Could crazier have been better? Was the query I was left asking myself at the end of this comic caper, and the answer is a plain yes!
Krazzy 4
Director : Jaideep Sen
Cast : Arshad Warsi,Irrfan Khan,Rajpal Yadab,Suresh Menon, Rajat Kapoor,Juhi Chawla
Lyrics : Asif Ali Beg, Javed Akhtar
Music : Rajesh Roshan
If only the script and casting had been better, not that it is bad as it easily eclipses the rest of Bollywood brigade as a comic political satire and as a vainglorious love story, but the problem lies with the rather shoddy initial and the casting of Arshad Warsi as the lead, a man who is in a lunatic asylum for anger management, well I have never heard of such desperate measures for temper fits and unfortunately Mr.Arshad Warsi neither has the presence of a leading man nor the talent to play this brilliant character.
The plot is narrative driven and involves the encapsulated adventures of four runaways from an istitution for mentally ill in Mumbai, set around the eve celebrating Indias 60 years of independence.
The story is given a twist as we encounter a gang of mafia mobsters who abduct the
psychiatrist in charge of the four lunatics, brilliantly played by Juhi Chawla in a cameo, in a subplot to free a psychopathic criminal by blackmailing the doctor who is an expert witness in this case, and can prove the bad guy innocent on grounds of insanity.
This is rather coy, but it is made interesting by the script which gets into the perception of insanity by the society and makes some brilliant remarks about our socio-political milieu, which works as comic satire and entertains simultaneously.
The four protagonists are well scripted, the best easily is the brilliant Rajpal Yadav. He was great in CHUP CHUP KE and here he steals the show as a freedom fighter stuck in a time capsule 60 years ago he has great lines and immense talent and makes this a must see, yet Irfan Khan is good after a long time,
