A Question for you Mr.Ghai, what's a warrior poet? Neither I saw a poet in Kisna nor any relevance. Kisna fails to deliver the goods. A Blockbuster does not guarantee a success on inspirations, Kisna's prequel as I would like to call them ( You will see spurts of Lagaan, Devdas , Braveheart, Titanic .....)were either first's or a production par excellence, take Lagaan for example, it's a first of its kind movie making,cinema par excellence, barring its length."Kisna" unfortunately is devoid of creativity and serves as a mere remind of those epics.
Kisna has its moments of glory as well, it is visually stimulating, thanks to Ashok Mehta's eye for beauty. Antonia Bernatt as Katherine is brilliant and Darbar's score specially "Chilman uthegi nahin" is a treat. The music has a heavy Ghai stamp otherwise & neither Vivek nor any other in the cast is noteworthy of a mention, Isha Sharvani and her character, looks to be an INSERT in the movie, her acrobatics needs another platform for a showcase, her portrayal like her rope tricks is a waste and bear no relavance to situations, emotions and the movie in total.
I am still haunted by "Yaadein" of Mr.Ghai's last production ironically by the same name "Yaadein", and "Kisna" proved that Mr.Ghai needs a makeover. Mukta Arts will probably have better investor confidence without Ghai at the hot seat, his earlier non-directorial & non -interferal productions ( Joggers Park & Aitraaz) have either received critical acclaim or Box office returns and proves a point. He's lost it.
Kisna has nothing new to offer, you will need the much needed remote, so watch it at leisure.
