Rating: * 1/2
Hollywood has transformed the raunchy comedy into high art. Who can forget the inspired use of body fluids within there’s Something About Mary or baked goods in American Pie. Or the sweetly inept Steve Carell in The 40-Year-Old Virgin. Or the gloriously funny misadventures of 4 friends, a child and a tiger within the Hangover, which was the largest grossing R-rated comedy in its day, making greater than $450 million globally.
In comparison, here’s a sampler of jokes from Kyaa Super Kool Hain Hum, which aims to occupy the similar space. Early within the film, a struggling actor, played by Tusshar Kapoor, imagines himself as a superhero named Bra 1, who has come to support earth’s women (okay, I BELIEVED this was funny). There's a running gag a few dog named Suckru, who's always in heat. His owner, a struggling DJ, played by Riteish Deshmukh, actually lives off of the dog’s ability to impregnate indiscriminately. Anupam Kher plays a personality named Francis Marlowe. Get it, Mar-lo? His deceased mother is called Rosemary Marlo. So Roz-meri-marlo. Dildola-re, the famous Devdas song, plays within the background, but here it feels like Dildo-la. These are the very best jokes.
I enjoy vulgarity, cheap lines and jokes with double meanings up to the following person, but really, is that this the most efficient we will be able to do? Writer-director Sachin Yardi is just too lazy to create a plot, so the film is simply a chain of gags that let him to bung in as many puerile sexual innuendos as possible. Kyaa Super Kool Hain Hum becomes a drag throughout the first twenty minutes after which continues for one more two hours or so. Before you might be done, you'll have to suffer Chunky Pandey in a hideous wig, playing a faux godman named Baba 3G, and Tusshar Kapoor in drag wearing eyeliner, lipstick and a gown with a plunging neckline.
Yes, that’s seriously scary. Only the brave need venture in.
