NO CHEMISTRY: Tusshar Kapoor and Raima Sen in ‘C Kkompany’.

Film: C KKompany

Cast: Tusshar Kapoor, Raima Sen

Director: Sachin Yardi

Cliché-ridden Bollywood continues to swim in waters of mediocrity. Sachin Yardi’s miss spelt “C KKompany” is merely the latest strand. In some ways, the film lives up to the expectations: with a ‘star’ cast of Tusshar Kapoor and Raima Sen supported by the likes Rajpal Yadav and Celina Jaitley, one is prepared for, at best an average fare, at worst, an assault on the senses in the name of comedy. Also, with Anupam Kher already having touch ed the nadir in “Buddha Mil Gaya”, one knows things cannot get any worse. They don’t. The problem is, they don’t get a lot better. Tusshar, Rajpal and Anupam, play three losers who cannot put a foot right. In desperation – the young man has to win over his girlfriend, the old man has to overcome the fear of his son and poor Rajpal has to stop being henpecked – they take to extortion, robbing Peter to pay Tom! And become modern-day Robinhoods in the bargain. Of course, they have to take on a fumbling don too – Mithun Chakraborty in a role tailor-made to perpetuate mediocrity.

An interesting premise that falls flat simply because there are hardly any sub-plots to keep the story going, and the actors go through the motions without ever seeking attention with their craft. The juxtaposition of some item numbers with constant references of Balajee Telefilms – the film is produced by Ekta and Shobhaa Kapoor – only serve to prolong the agony.

“C Kkompany” is strictly for the masses with nothing more than a few laughs on their mind.
