Fluentiama Perfect cast and a good story

CommentsXp Best movie ever!

TaryBiggBall It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.

Nayan Gough A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

silvan-desouza Indra Kumar gave many hits in the past like DIL(1990), BETA(1992), RAJA(1995), ISHQ(1997)one look at most of them and especially RAJA was nothing to rave about DIL was typical romance with some overdone drama and comedy fit for the 90's while BETA which started before DIL and released in 1992 was a good melodramatic film as made in early 90's RAJA was crap while ISHQ was decent MANN was crap again, AASHIQ was hideous which brings us to RISHTEY(2002) which was actually to be made in late 90's maybe it would've worked then too But sadly it's a bad film to release in 2002 The story is a mix of AKELE HUM AKELE TUM(1995), KUNWARA BAAP and many more filmsSadly the comedy which is the biggest problem in most Indra Kumar films(before MASTI) is too bad half an hour is spent on the useless Shilpa- Anil track while the emotions take a backseat The story is done to death as usual Anil and Karisma separate due to Amrish Puri's plan(again) and then Anil brings up the child alone(who is shown to be lame first for no reason) rest is typical melodrama which leads to a volatile action climax which is clichéd Direction by Indra Kumar is ordinary Music is okayAnil Kapoor is a miscast to play a boxer and he is brilliant as the father but looks too old Karisma is as usual, hams to the hilt and her crying for her child(similar to RAJA HINDUSTANi and SHAKTI) is boring Shilpa suffers from the hangover of Sridevi Amrish Puri sleepwalks Sadashiv Amrapurkar is too loud Adi Irani is okay The child Jibraan is good

Anj_erSen A nice family Drama which can possibly happen. A billionaire father Yashpal Chaudhrey's only daughter Komal falls in love with a street-fighter. The movie starts with Suraj( Anil Kapoor ) running from the hospital carrying his new born son. He lives in an unknown village where all the people love him. He works there. His son turns up 2 and Suraj realizes that his legs tingled when he stand. He takes him to a doctor and he says that the boy couldn't walk for the rest of the life. But somehow Suraj is determined to walk Karan. (Jibran Khan ).He does everything and at last he enters Karan into a race at the school sports meet. Karan broke his leg pads and ran and won the 1st place.. In the prize giving he thanked his papa for his earning. At the time Komal(Karishma Kapoor) is thinking about her son and is mentally weak.Yashpalji (Amrish Puri) is determined to get his grandson back. The movie turns on to Vaijanthi (Shilpa Shetty) who falls in love with Suraj not knowing he has a son of 7 years old. But knowing his wife is dead as all say she tries him.. But at last she discovered that Komal is alive.She helps a lot in helping Suraj. Komal lies in the court that her husband asks him money. Court decides to give Karan to his mother Komal. Later Suraj is asked to keep 15 lacks in court before 3 months. Abdul helps him in practicing fighting again. At last the truth is discovered and that is Komal's father hired a lady and gave her the key to prove that Suraj has another woman in his life. And also that he plotted to kill the baby at birth to destroy all the relationships between Suraj and Komal. Komal runs to the fighting place and plead sorry. At last the whole family including Yashpalji settle down. It is really a good movie. Action, Romance, love is based and we can get good advices in life from this movie. I can recommend it to anyone and can offer 9 stars.

Pedro-37 I'm not Indian but I can claim to have seen about 150 Bollywood-films until today, so I guess that qualifies me as someone with at least a little insight. My insight into the movie at stake, Indra Kumar's "Rishtey", is very brief: It's a bad movie.I'll dive into the movie a little further. It's the story of a hard working street boxer (Anil Kapoor) who kidnapped his own son because the father of his wife (Karishma Kapoor) wanted the baby and him killed. He raises the boy - and after seven years, he has to face his past and confront the family of his wife again. Standard Bollywood-plot, so to speak. But that's not yet a criticism: Someone like Mani Rathnam could have done a good film out of such a tired story.I'd also not blame the actors: Anil Kapoor gives a strong performance, the boy does a good job too and Amrish Puri (who plays Karishma's father) acts such roles in his sleep. Karishma herself is less convincing. She stumbles and cries through the scenery and her role is terribly underwritten. She's more a red herring than a character. The better female in the cast is Shilpa Shetty who delivers some humor and a lot of skin.So who's to blame? Well, where do I start. The music is terrible. It's your typical "angelic Bollywood choir" with its "aaaah aaaaaah" over every emotional scene. Sometimes that works, here it does not. The sound effects are equally bad. Expect sound effects right out of a Batman-cartoon. You can hear all the "swooshs" and "swishs" in the sound track and it's just utterly annoying. The direction: Could this be any more heavy handed? Every event in the movie is forced upon the story (and the viewer) without any ease. The courtroom scenes are cheesy, the divine intervention by Rama is wooden and the final half hour is as fatalistic as possible and results in a unbelievable happy end.The movie was ruined for me in the first half hour already. After they stole a scene from "Forrest Gump" ("Run Karan, run!"), the boy gives a clumsy speech for his daddy. And it goes on in this direction. The meetings between Anil Kapoor and Shilpa Shetty get equally embarrassing. In one scene, he has to tell her, how beautiful she looks and she cannot believe it. Hellooo? Isn't it, well, obvious that she's very pretty? Ok, I can forgive all that... but then, the movie tries to copy "Over to Top". Why this one? Why perhaps Sly's worst movie? And the title lends itself perfectly for a negative review of this film ... over the top. Well, what I'm trying to say is that once you've seen that it tries to copy that movie, the suspense is gone as well.I could go on and on. To make it short: It's an embarrassingly heavy handed movie. Nothing flows easily in this film. There are some nice songs (the one after 30 minutes is strangely sexy for a family film) and some nice performances, but that's about it. If you want a "boy wants to live with his daddy"-film, try "Rahul". That one's heavy handed too, but it has more charm than "Rishtey" and comes across less forced. My rating3/10
