Kyaa Super Kool Hain Hum revolves around two main characters Adi (Tusshar Kapoor) and Sid (Riteish Deshmukh). There are these two jobless, aimless, witless guys one of whom can't act to save his life, and the other one who can act but has to pretend he can't to keep pace with the one who can. Now, get a load of this. Sid (Riteish Deshmukh) is a struggling musician. Adi (Tusshar Kapoor) is a struggling actor. And they're part of a sex comedy struggling to be funny in every single line that these two chaddi buddies utter to one another and to the world at large.
So the real hero of this masterwork of murky mirth is the dialogue writer. He uses every potential occasion in the dialogue draft to slip in sexual puns. Not a single human orifice is spared in the furious fusillade of double innuendos. In that sense, this is a very democratic comedy. It insults every one and everything from dogs to humans, from gays to gurus...you name it.
"Kyaa Super Kool Hain Hum" multiplies the filth manifold. The packaging and presentation are this time efficient. The glamour quotient is enhanced with the presence of two engaging eye-candies Neha Sharma and Sarah Jane Dias who join in the vulgarity with a gusto that suggests a deep bond between risqué humor and sex appeal.
There are some good comic actors here, giving really bad performances. The gay jokes are stretched to limits beyond impoliteness that climaxes with the two ladies dressed as Chandramukhi and Paro singing "Dildo la dildo la".
That pun on the original song Dil dola from Sanjay Leela Bhansali's "Devdas" was smsed ad nauseam when the film was released in 2002.
Most of the pssst-pssst jokes in this farce fest come across labored and tired. Deshmukh, a comic actor of flawless aptitudes, does his best to breathe life into gags and situations that elevate puerility to an art form. He succeeds in making us titter when we aren't busy squirming over the onslaught of obscenity.
The rest of the cast takes the cult of crassness to hammy heights. Anupam Kher, for example, plays a millionaire in Goa who believes his dead mom has been reincarnated as a canine. And when he catches his alleged 'mom' doing what doggies do when they are in a film of this sort, he assumes his mother is now getting on her four legs what his father never gave on two legs.
There is no story; there are just a whole lot of gags, spoofs and adult content in the movie. Each line, each scene just keeps reiterating the fact that it is a ‘sex comedy’. In fact, it drills it inside your brain so hard that by the end of it you want to grab an aspirin to cure the gnawing pain. Tusshar gets to play the lead role only because he is Ekta Kapoor’s brother. The actor, who was a tad bit funny in ‘Golmaal’, fails sadly to get people laughing at his dumb act. Perhaps aware that ‘Golmaal’ is the only shining glory in his otherwise dull career, he spoofs his own character from the film in the first half and those are the only moments when you laugh at his act. Riteish Deshmukh probably is the only saving grace of the movie. Deshmukh, who is now becoming a veteran of such slapstick comedies, gets his act right but there isn’t much that he can do in a ‘no-script’ movie.
The girls-Neha Sharma and Sarah Jane Dias- look hot. Neha Sharma may just click with the audience with her pretty looks but Sarah somehow appears really wooden. But then, they are just required to look sensuous and pretty in the movie and they manage that very well.
What works for the movie is the fact that it is extremely unapologetic about the ‘nonsense’ that they have churned out for the audience. In the climax, when compared to Jai of 'Sholay' and Anand of ‘Anand’, Deshmukh tells, ‘Hum ordinary film ke hero hai, woh extra ordinary films the’. Yes, the film is just that-ordinary, in fact lower than that. But they seem to have fun. Yes, some bits are funny, quite hilarious and Riteish and Anupam Kher share a ‘good chemistry’, which makes their scenes pleasant to watch. But they are far and few in between. It is also unfortunate to see a veteran actor like Kher mouth dialogues full of double meanings. Kher’s comic timing remains intact but to see him being part of a movie like this makes you cringe a bit.
In general, it is an average film.
