Anup Chakraborty Woman Power continues this year after Rani and Vidya got Justice for KILLER JESSICA, here Priyanka does Justice in Killing her Husbands! And before you frame her for Murder, Think Twice! Or rather Thrice.. Oops Seven Times!It's the story of SAATHALI (like, Draupadi got tagged Panchali)... There has been no lady in the history so far who has had the liberty to marry, remarry and be a widow 7 times. Voila! Bride Priyanka goes 'I do' and 'Qabool Hai' as its 'Shaadi Mubarak' for her. These Marriages Are NOT made in Heaven, for sure! As I have to put it, definitely not in HISTORY and Piggy got this wonderful opportunity to exhibit her body to 7 Men, young and old, Indian and Russian men and hence, the only Indian Woman in the History of Cinema to have 7 co stars opposite her. Its another Feather in her cap, after she playing 12 Star Signs in WHAT'S YOUR RAASHEE.. Here, Priyanka (playing a single role but varies from her teenage to old age - thus having 7 shades to her colorful character)The Husbands (Neil Nitin Mukesh, John Abraham, Irrfan Khan, Aleksandr Dyachenko, Annu Kapoor, Naseeruddin Shah and Vivaan Shah) BED with her and then they are DEAD! RED! BLOOD! but not galore! Oops.. this is not RGV's Blood Story (read, Raktha Charitra)! As it was Blood with Violence, Vishal's film is Blood with Violins! An opera style a la, Bhansali Films! Like Vishal's canvas here is with the Anglo-Indian generals, candle-lit Victorian interiors, grandeur weddings, soulful funerals and rustic churches.Coming back to KHOON, its unbelievable that a Catholic Girl gets a chance to marry 3 Christian Men, 2 Muslim Men and 2 Hindu Men. No Bishop or Pope will ever give such permission anywhere! But, its Vishal Bharadwaj (the Archbishop) who grants wedding to Suzanna whose 7 Husbands are: Major Edwin Rodriguez, Jimmy Stetson, Wasiullah Khan, Nicolai Vronsky, Keemat Lal, Dr. Modhu Shudon Tarafdar and Arun. One by one, the SEVEN go to HEAVEN (or rather HELL) as our 'Darrrrlingggg' gives them Freedom from life and grants Death to them unwillingly! It's Death with Style that she gets to SLEEP and then SWEEP them away! It's Love, Sex & Dhokha that goes with further ingredients of Lust, Poison, Vengeance, Doubt, Thrills, Chills and Kills! Piggy gets to Chop everyone, but before you say to her: MURDERER! Wait! As her 7 Killings are Validated. Point to be Noted and re-thought about.Well, if such is the case of a wife killing her selfish, womanizer, molester and a doubtful husband - then no doubt, Indian women will use Priyanka Chopra as their role model who have suffered from their husbands and may take such bold step! And before someone does that: Statutory Warning: This is a film with fiction and nothing to be considered original! Hence, watch it for Priyanka Chopra's Award Winning Performance and the Dark Shade Comedy Thriller!Final Verdict: Go for it, as its Priyanka on the Kill! Box office Verdict: Who cares?
Mr Y I felt something was missing in gluing the stories.. Some characters were not properly explored.PC was just good, could have been better given such a great role. She was better in Fashion. I believe Rekha would have been the PERFECT choice for this role..Logic-wise it was too illogical to kill many of the men.. John's character needed support and she could've just divorced some of the men.. But since it's just a story, then "jaano do yaar".I wanted to give the movie 9/10 for the story, the "out of norm" story, but I still feel the movie could have been better!! So 3 marks maaf :)
Darren hawkins I just wanted to add my 10 cents worth of commentary about this film.June 2011, I was lucky enough to be in Shanghai, China, to attend the Shanghai International Film Festival. I was there as my debut feature film was accepted into the festival and I was invited (as director) to attend the festival.Well, enough of my bragging and name dropping as to HOW and WHY I was in Shanghai to see this film, onto my thoughts!Of the many tickets I was given to attend films at the festival, the plot summary of this film caught my eye and I knew something of its director. There were many "A List Hollywood movies" I could have seen, but I chose this one.I was NOT disappointed in my choice !While most people may think of Bollywood films as being colourful, sometimes humorous, at times a little cheesy, with a little too many "dance sequences" for their like, THIS FILM IS NOT ONE OF THEM !!!From the opening scene (it's quite confrontational from a visual and psychological standpoint .... I won't reveal WHAT you see, but let me say that Bhardwaj makes a bold statement with his on screen vision VERY quickly!!!), I knew this was going to NOT be your "stereotype" Bollywood fair .... and thank goodness for that!! Not that I have a problem with the "stereotype", I do enjoy them, "Dhoom 1 & 2" being favourites of mine, but I was not after that kind of film!The directing, cinematography, set design, costuming, story, sound design, location choices, editing, casting and acting ALL wove together to deliver a REAL cinematic experience.I found it difficult to find a "weak link" to be honest!I can ONLY say, that if you get the chance to see this on the "big screen", PLEASE do so (ok also see my movies too please!! .... they aren't YET at the same lush quality, but heck, not too bad considering the budget I have been able to work with!!!).If you can only see this on DVD or blu-ray, then, pick a night in which you can brew some coffee (or whatever drink takes your fancy), take the phone off the hook, sit back, relax and bathe in this movie.
krishnashivakumar This movie was anything but boring.the pace of the movie was so slow that i had stopped watching it up till the Anu Kapoor part.Screenplay and story was interesting but not well executed.As for the songs they were boring.Priyanka Chopras acting was decent and its a bit of a disappointment especially since people were raving it.As for the males Neil was barely there,John was okay,Irfan was okay but very evil.The foreign actor was a waste and Anu Kapoor was boring.The narration by Vivaan Shah was great initially but then got boring as the movie proceeded.The direction by Vishal is not upto the mark.And the characters are not well developed especially Susana character which was poorly written.Overall this movie was a waste of time and i regret buying it.
