'In an era defined by vengeful anger, he was a star who sang and danced while most others hollered and hectored on the big screen,' remembers Saibal Chatterjee.
'Rishi Kapoor was a complete original.' 'He dazzled the screen and stayed a livewire off it as well,' remembers Sukanya Verma.
The actor has been traced to a mental asylum in the US.
Actor-director Satish Kaushik is unfazed about Karzzzz. "Comparisons are inevitable but unavoidable. Karzzz is my way of paying homage to the mesmerising cinema of 80's, to Subhash Ghai's revered cult film Karz." Kaushik says. The filmmaker also cannot stop gushing about Himesh Reshammiya [he plays rock star Monty, immortalised by Rishi Kapoor in 1980's reincarnation drama].
Looking at the latest posters of Tamil film, Arasan the Don, you may wonder what US President Barack Obama and Rajnikanth have in common.
Sukanya Verma lists Chintu's memorable songs.
Karzzzz plot is essentially replicated, but ironically the film is dumbed down -- as if audiences of today aren't as savvy as they were a couple of decades ago. Add to that a horribly cardboard Urmila Matondkar and an inconsequential Shweta Kumar in leading roles that required actual actresses.
Catch the promos of Shahid Kapur's latest film, Paathshala -- which is slated for January next -- when you go to watch Karzzzz this Friday. Paathshala is directed by Milind Ukey and also stars Nana Patekar, Ayesha Takia, Sushant Singh and popular child artistes, Swini Khare [Cheeni Kum], Ali Haji [Fanaa, Partner] and Dwij Yadav [Nanhe Jaisalmer].
Being a Himesh Reshammiya soundtrack, it's bound to find its share of buyers and admirers. If only Karzzzz wasn't burdened with the presence of SO MANY songs. It tends to get unbelievably tedious after a point. On second thoughts, the extra Zzz's, in the title, finally begin to make sense.
'Yeh Saali Aashiqui held my attention purely for audacity,' says Sukanya Verma.
After almost a decade, the famed music composer is back doing what he does best -- making beautiful music.

Sukanya Verma salutes most beloved Rishi Kapoor melodies.
