If Razzies (awards for worst movies in Hollywood) come to India, by any chance, Karan Razdan will be deluged by the trophies in a short span of time. First 'Hawas' and now 'Girlfriend', with the movies like these on his resume, nobody on the jury would dare to ignore this ex-hubby of late Priya Tendulkar.
During his transition form a scriptwriter to a filmmaker, Karan spent at least three years at home and just a casual look at his latest film is good enough to prove that an idle mind is indeed a Devil's workshop.
For the Devil worshiper's, here is the plot, while the rest of you can leave from here.
The film offers you the characters you'll seldom see. Tanya (Isha Koppikar) and Sapna (Amrita Arora) are CLOSE friends. Despite living in a luxurious beach house, they just have one bed to sleep on. Why? Hmmmm.... perhaps one of them is always busy fondling the sisters-in-arm and seldom sleeps.
Right Karan?
Yeah.. Yeah.. you guessed it right, she is a lesbian but according to Karan lesbians can't be normal. They have to kick some men butts before they go to bed. That's what insomniac Tanya does. She is kick-boxer. Her message is clear, all you men stay away from love of my life.
But Rahul (Aashish Chowdhary) is an oddball. He manages to woo 'sleepy' Sapna, only to face Tanya's wrath. No wonder, we see him frowning every now and then.
What could be said about Sapna. She is generally afraid of men, may get drunk and sleeps with another woman but she doesn't know a thing. According to her, "Jab main soti hoon, main behosh hoti hoon."
Shhooo innocent.
Tiff starts as the romance blooms. Tanya wants her lion's share but Rahul baba is reluctant. Now even Sapna knows the truth. Oh Gawd.... What to do?
If you're still looking for some excitement better watch 'Khwahish' again. However drab, Mallika's kisses are far better than this 'While-You-Were-Sleeping' fondling by sultry sister. The songs are jarring and so is everything else.
The only good things about the 'Girlfriend' is that despite being replete with lesbian undertones, it will hardly call for an ire from the moral brigade. Why? Because it simply affirms their assumption- Homosexuals are psychopathic freaks!!!
With 'Girlfriend' Karan beats the competition by miles to become the uncrowned king of sleaze with no immediate threat to his glory. After all, it's going to take a lot of time before Kaizad gets out of Jail and pose some serious challenge.
Post Hawas, I found someone saying Karan is the man to look out for. I agree to that in Toto. The man of 'such caliber' needs to be distinguished.
Anybody at the Razzies listening?
