DESHDROHI :: Entertainment at its very best


This is without doubt the best worst movie i have ever seen.......


We see actor Kamal Rashid Khan (Raja) with an open-mouthed expression suggesting shock, and this expression remains stuck for some time to come, as if by glue.....An altercation takes place on the road and Sonia (Gracy Singh – her hair varying lengths in every scene) arrives on a bike to bash up a circle of goondas......... He remains open-mouthed as always, but then gives a hint of a smile. Cut (rather abruptly) to a song where Sonia is in chiffon sarees and an armful of bangles, and KRK in jeans, a jacket and shades......... This is to be his uniform for all songs in the film (always broken into without warning); otherwise he is donned perplexingly in pink and lilac floral shirts, not much like a lower-income group UP immigrant.

Fast forward to a fight on the road leads to Raja killing a man who was holding Sonia at gunpoint........ Then on, the deceased man’s brother, a politician is determined to kill Raja. Fed up with the slimy politicians and the cops who work for them, .......Raja decides to pick up the gun, take the law into his hands, and wipe out the deshdrohis.

The first time I saw the lead hero I thought they were just showing some "Extra cast" as they call it running from the main lead...... But it turned out to be our "Hero" much to my amazement and "delight". Then you see that he really fits the role being kicked arround and swindled easily by everyone....

To top it off the movie has Gracy singh of the lagaan fame and Hrishitta Bhatt,also reknowned.....God knows what they had in mind when they signed for this movie but bless their souls for having to go through the torture of dancing and singing with this guy......

As for KRK..... in the movie he keeps ruing about the fact that he is still alive, kills 5-6 policemen and politicians with one bullet, penetrates the most toughest security perimeters with gravity defying jumps and stunts and keeps crying about his dead grandpa and his dreams.......It should be noted that Gracy singh strangely ends up looking more masculine than our Hero........ In fact I suspect that both these characters are confused about their sexuality and therein find compatibility......... Cant wait to see what their next generation turns out to be.

The acting in the movie's truly unbelievable.....Krk makes harman baweja look like 'Al Pacino'.....Gracy singh is hopless....as are the other members of the cast.....the make-up,styling,camera work and everything else about this movie sucks to its very core.......

This movie is meant to be watched with friends at a time when people have nothing better to do but ridicule, debase and insult someone from the bottom of the heart and laugh at it like a devil........... Please Please watch this 8th wonder of the world in its pure ugliness........
