Kis Kisko Pyaar Karoon Movie Review: Funny And Silly In Equal Measures

After entertaining us for years with his show Comedy Nights With Kapil, funnyman Kapil Sharma makes his Bollywood debut with Abbas-Mustan flick Kis Kisko Pyaar Karoon and while the film will not join the list of cult comedies made so far, it is funny enough for a one-time watch.

Kapil plays Shiv Ram Kishan, who gets married to three women (Manjari Phadnis, Simran Kaur Mundi and Sai Lokur) due to circumstances out of his control and spends a major part of his life juggling the three wives (much like Akshay Kumar did in Garam Masala). However, if this comedy of errors was not enough, the man also wants to marry the woman of his dreams Deepika (Elli Avram), who believes that her beau is a bachelor.

How Kapil's character manages to pull this off with the help of his lawyer buddy (Varun Sharma) is what the film is all about.

Kapil is blessed with a quick wit and a natural comic timing and he exploits it to the best of his capacity in this film, though he fumbles the ball when it comes to romantic or dramatic scenes. Indeed, had Abbas-Mustan decided to make an out-and-out comedy without a single serious scene in the film (something like Andaz Apna Apna maybe), Kapil would have probably worked wonders as it is obvious that the man doesn’t have much talent for anything apart from comedy.

Varun Sharma is dependable while the four women do not get to do much. Sharat Saxena and Supriya Pathak as Kapil's parents have their moments while Arbaaz Khan as the deaf underworld don and the brother of one of Kapil’s wife is hilarious at times. Jamie Lever, the daughter of Johnny Lever, makes her debut with this film as the nosy maid and though she is a delight to watch, she is yet to match the charm of her father (but then, this is her debut so we are not giving up hopes yet).

Truth be told, the film will remind you of movies like Garam Masala and No Entry at times and some of the situations lack logic of any kind. But if you are the types who enjoys those 'leave your brains at home' comedies, this film is sure to fit the bill. The initial 15-20 minutes of the film is slightly boring, but your patience is rewarded later on as Kapil and Company unleash their humour.

Like we warned, there is a lot of silliness too, which may put you off, but overall, the film is not intolerable as such, though we wish the director duo could have done away with the songs, which add nothing of value to the film.
