AutCuddly Great movie! If you want to be entertained and have a few good laughs, see this movie. The music is also very good,

Juana what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

namashi_1 The Showman of the 80's & 90's, Subhash Ghai, delivers a rather ordinary film with 'Kaanchi'. Though Ghai manages to churn out impressive performances & even a fairly engaging first-hour, he fails by delivering a dull second-hour, which completely under-whelms.'Kaanchi' Synopsis: A rebellious girl seeks revenge of her lover's death, but faces opposition from a strong political family.'Kaanchi' begins well & has a few sparkling moments in the first-hour. The romance is nicely build-up. The second-hour is problematic. The track involving Rishi Kapoor falling for Mishti, the protagonist, is plain ridiculous. Also, the excessive running-time over a 145-minutes, needed some sharp trimming.Ghai is not in command this time around. His Direction, though lavish, has an outdated vibe to it. The Screenplay loses pace in the second-hour completely. Cinematography is good. Editing needed to be sharper. Music by Ismail Darbar is super.Performance-Wise: Mishti as Kaanchi, has the intensity & the fire, this character demands. However, she needs to work strongly on her voice. Kartik does a decent job. Rishi Kapoor, in an ill-written role, is over-the-top. Mithun Chakraborty is excellent as the wicked politician. Chandan Roy Sanyal is effortless. Rishabh Sinha is impressive.On the whole, 'Kaanchi' is an half-baked effort from Subhash Ghai.

snaidu422 Karma,Kalicharan, Saudagar, Khalnayak etc., are some of the movies which we need to remember while watching Subash Ghai's KAANCHI, since it is the only way we can forgive him for making this disaster.The only explanation could be that this movie might have been conceived in the early 80's with someone like Rekha or Madhuri Dixit in the lead and for some reason it did not take off-otherwise there is simply no rational explanation, why the showman could have even managed to think of this subject now in 2014.Kaanchi (Mishti-looks like a cross between Rani Mukherjee and Mandakini) is "Goan ki not so boli bali ladiki" who shrieks, screams and rants with a shrill voice and wears the same nauseating outfit 80% of the movie, is betrothed to her childhood sweetheart Binda (Karthik Tiwari) a local fitness trainer.Enter Sanjeev Kakda (Rishab Sinha) , a painter who falls head over heels for Kaanchi, who does not reciprocate and friendzones him. Following the shrewd Mr. Kakda Jr. (Rishi Kapoor)'s advise, Sanjeev murders Binda in cold blood leaving Kaanchi baying for revenge.Kaanchi takes the help of another childhood friend Bagula (Chandan Roy Sanyal), a crooked policeman and brings the Kakda's to task.Mishti is hot, sexy and extremely desirable-till she opens her mouth, that's when the illusion breaks. She does have great expressive eyes and good acting skills but someone gave the wrong idea to this lady that raving and ranting is the only way she can deliver a good dialogue.Kartik Tiwari, according to Subash Ghai was picked up after auditioning 1000 boys-even though he acted in PYAAR KA PUNCHNAMA-guess the other 999 boys must be thanking their luck after watching the blink and you will miss him role.Rishab Sinha is good as the eccentric painter, but it would have worked wonders if his character would have been written with lot more care.Rishi Kapoor as usual is excellent in negative role, and he proves that he still packs a punch even if it is a mundane script.Mithun Chakraborthy is in a sorry role- a role which could as well be written out of the script and still would not make any difference to the story. He deserves better roles other than the roles which a Mahesh manjrekar or a pramod moutho could have done as well.Subash Ghai's flops also had wonderful music and Ismail Durbar lets him down on this one. If they thought that "Kambal ke Aandar" would become another "Choli ke Peeche" or "saat saheli" then they were sadly mistaken. None of the songs are even memorable or hummable.The screenplay and the editing were also not much to be written about and feel sorry for the showman. Sir! We know you are really capable of delivering masterpieces, we will still forgive you if you can gift us a masterpiece like you used to in days of yore.

niharika_chhabra08 Subhash Ghai is back with his film making style. I admire his sense of observation & the way he perceives the situation and the characters in this movie. He portrays the nature beautifully and the feel of the movie is simply superb You really empathize with the characters...In this era of the new age directors, Mr. Ghai follows his own sense of direction which is amazing.I really love his style of film making.Mishti's debut performance is very good and Kartik too seems to have good work yet again. There on screen chemistry looks really good.The story line is really involving. This movie is surely worth watching. Great work by Mr. Subhash Ghai yet again.

dineshprakash Director approach towards film is completely confusing. Sometimes he tries to make it love story then takes turn to political drama then revenge and eventually landed in a mess. Story has nothing new. It is typical like old movie. Screenplay is jerky. They tried to stuff comedy in emotional scenes. A mother slaps her daughter for her rebelling nature but massages her feet in night, while she is sleeping. This scene has an emotional note but suddenly daughter awakes and in lieu of adoring her mother's care, she starts laughing. Was she mad or mentally challenged to understand such type of basic human emotions? Characterization is bad. Few scenes are so old fashioned. A boy died and his father melodramatically calls him to respond. The days are gone of such scenes. A romantic intense scene is going on and suddenly some girls appear from nowhere and start giggling, this way they just crush the romance. In a scene, girl is shown with a water bottle but in next voice over about her informs that she has been roaming hungry and thirsty. They deliberately ignored such type of mistakes or even they were unable to figure it out? Second half of film is very boring and climax is unbearable. Performance wise Kartik Tiwari as Binda is OK. Lead girl Mishti as Kaanchi looks good as well as act but she literally shrieks in intense scenes. Mithun Da had given plump face look, which does not suit him at all and it was not required even. Rishi Kapoor is fine. Chandan Roy Sanyal as Inspector Bagula is fantastic. His acting is an only relief in this film. Music is OK. Track of fast song are good but lyrics does not support it well.
