Review: Sushmita Sen’s ‘Karma Aur Holi’ with Randeep Hooda is unholy

Spicezee Bureau Watch ‘Karma Aur Holi’ and you’ll know why Sushmita was crying foul and refusing to indulge in any kind of publicity for the film. The actress, who has managed to create a class of her own despite not many hits, has marred her majestic persona and the hype surrounding her name with this sloppy film.But fortunately for Sush, the film has been given an ‘A’ certificate which assures that the film will have a comparatively patient and less number of audience. While we recommend you give this one a miss, here’s listing out the story line for you incase you plan to give this one a shot. The film revolves around a married couple Dev (played by Hooda) and Meera (played by Sushmita). The two are well settled and seem to have a perfect life except for the fact that they don’t have a child. The couple is desperate to make an addition to their family, but for some strange reason Meera is unable to conceive. Frustrated with their monotonous lives, the couple decides to hold a get together for their friends and family on Holi. It’s from this point that the story goes for a toss and the audience is left confused. A multitude of actors are immediately thrown in the script. First comes the ever so worrying couple of Vani (Rati Agnihotri) and Shekhar(Suresh Oberoi). Vani is Meera’s sister and is always fretting over her son. Though not made clear, the audience is left wondering whether Vani’s son is dysfunctional. Then comes in Javed, a struggling filmmaker, who enjoys a relationship of convenience with an actress called Jenny (Naomi Campbell). While there are several other characters in the movie like Dr Nimish, and his wife Sujata (Suchitra Krishnamoorti) whose presence in the film just ends up confusing the audience. As for the star couple Meera and Dev, they are shown to be just to perfect for words. While Dev is a loving devoted husband sans any flaws, Sushmita is shown to be a grumpy frustrated wife. All the characters are fighting their own personal battles. The film could have shaped differently if only there was clarity in direction. The performances are too lop sided and though Sushmita Sen has done a fairly decent job she goes down with the sinking ship. In all, one cheer for this!
