If Aditya Chopra and Yash Raj have ANY sense they will never let this talentless hack back into YRF again! I have never seen a worse director in mainstream films, maybe Sanjay Gadhvi comes close.
He is so full of himself, stuck up and irritating – and for what? The stupid, unoriginal films that he makes? Mind you I am blaming YRF for letting him do that so far – but der aaye durust aaye – ab isko bahar karo!
Neelu he not only thinks that he is a very good filmmaker but also thinks that he is extremely good looking (even by Hollywood standards). Trust me I mean that
I would say that I hate YRF for foisting Kunal Kohli on us. But then they did introduce Shaad Ali (is he Muzaffar Ali’s son?) and I like both BnB and JBJ, Siddharth Anand (hopefully on BAH type track – love that film), and Vijay Krishna Acharya – Tashan was a zany crazy film that I like a lot. Their biggest crimes are Gadhvi and Kohli.
Tango – It would be unfair to compare HT with WHMT. HT is Indianized version like many other movies. I liked the concept of cartoons in a Hindi movie and music was decent. I am not defending HT, just that I didn’t mind seeing it.
and incidentally a cartoonist as the protagonist in HT was not the first time done in Hindi films. Guru Dutt did it in ‘MR & MRS 55′. Great movie and awesome music. Its a fun watch. Check it out. Madhubala looks AMAZINGLY ethereal in the movie. Anyone remember this from a repertoire done on his films on Doordarshan way back when in the late 80s?
Aarkayne – I did see Mr and Mrs 55 along with Aar paar and Sahib Biwi and Ghulam on DD. I think they showed RK’s aag,Shri 420 and Bobby along with three Ray films.
Kunal Kohli used to come on zeetv 10 years ago as a film reviewer and used to talk about how films should be made.And yes,he thinks highly of himself.He is a medioacre director.

True Neelu.
This guy used to talk so much on script and orignality, but all his three movies were Hollywood DVD Indianised versions.

I am not saying that others do not do that, but then they do not go around acting like holy cows.

He has made 4 movies with 50% success rate. (MSDK, HT, Fanaa, TPTM). I liked HT decently.

Hum Tum was just a Bombay-Delhi success. The outright s. hit is Fanaa.

RKS- Hum tum was a When Harry Met Sally rip off. How could you like it after seeing the brilliant original.

Chalo ek waqt ko I did not mind MSDK because I did not quite like You’ve Got Mail.

Bunty aur Babli was much better than Hum Tum in that youthful kind of genre. I never saw the point of such a blatant remake as Hum Tum.
If he really thinks he is good looking and will act, then god save us!

Kunal sucks as a director, and YRF is responsible for introducing him as a director. None of the directors introduced by YRF are impressive.
