It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.

Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.

Krazzy 4 is one of those comedies that's not very funny in the first place. Irrfan Khan, Arshad Warsi, Rajpal Yadav and Suresh Menon play four mentally challenged patients who're taken to watch an India vs England cricket match because their psychiatrist Juhi Chawla thinks it might teach them a few things about team spirit. When Dr Juhi is mysteriously kidnapped however, our four protagonists are left to their own devices, roaming the streets unsupervised, with both cops and gangsters in hot pursuit. Blatantly ripped off from the Michael Keaton-Christopher Lloyd starrer The Dream Team, I'm willing to agree the plot of Krazzy 4 does inspire maybe three or four genuine laughs, but that's it, really that's just it. For the most part, the script is flat and unfunny, relying almost entirely on the four leads to save the day. That, unfortunately, is an impossible task even for talented actors such as these who pull faces, deliver clever one-liners, and try every trick in the book, but can't sadly rise above this severely flawed script. Usually even the worst films have at least some redeeming qualities, but where Krazzy 4 is concerned, it's difficult to understand exactly why this film was made. Didn't anyone concerned with the film notice that the script is incoherent? Didn't anyone realize that the humour is juvenile and slapstick and it's the kind of humour you've seen so many times before? Didn't anyone think of re-shooting all the dull bits so at least some part of the film might actually be watchable? The answer to all those questions is obviously no. Krazzy 4, if you ask me, is a fitting title for this film except that I'd like to change the number four to the number 12 or 13, or whatever number of crazy people are responsible for bringing this film to the screen. It's a shame that talented actors like Juhi Chawla, Irrfan Khan and Rajpal Yadav have been wasted in a thankless film like this which they will look back at years later and think of as a bad dream. If there's anything at all besides the end credits that brings a smile to your face while watching Krazzy 4, I'd have to say it's the two item songs in the film -- one each by Shah Rukh Khan and Hrithik Roshan. And to be honest, even the one with Rakhi Sawant isn't too bad. But these are alas, small pleasures in an otherwise miserable movie-going experience. A word here for Ashwani Dhir, the film's dialogue writer who holds the unique distinction of delivering a triple whammy of disasters like 1 2 3, U, Me Aur Hum and Krazzy 4 . Dhir's lines are amateurish and laboured and they're largely responsible for why none of these films worked for me. But blame has to be shared by the film's director Jaideep Sen whose treatment here is indifferent, showing neither artistic flair nor solid grip over screenplay. Because it's a khichdi of cheap humour, unimpressive acting, and a directionless plot. It's a tragedy disguised as a comedy that I wouldn't even wish upon an enemy.

Jaideep Sen's crappy 'Krazzy 4' is a headache, a very bad one. One may wonder how a movie that stars Arshad Warsi, Irfan Khan, Juhi Chawla and Rajpal Yadav can be so bad. Then again, can anyone expect anything good from Roshan's factory? Starting with the cast that got me interested to see this movie, none of them impress. Irfan Khan acts as if he's uninterested (why should he be otherwise?), Arshad Warsi terribly overacts, Rajpal Yadav is annoying, Zakir Hussain is the caricature bad cop, Diya Mirza is the whiny angry news-anchor girlfriend, Rajat Kapoor is miscast and Juhi Chawla barely has footage. There's hardly much comedy and the few jokes and 'skits' were not funny but only worsened the headache. Oh and in the end there's even a message: 4 crazy people are better than the sane people of the Indian population (cringe). The songs are truly abysmal, especially the Hinglish ones. Thankfully Hritik's baboon break-dance was in the end, so I didn't have to sit through that but Rakhi Sawant's item song is one of the sleaziest item songs in Bollywood. She's wearing a skirt so low that in one shot you can see her {censored} (ever heard of waxing?). This pretty much borders on pornography. I'm surprised this song goes unnoticed when people are quick to point fingers at Urmila for playing a prostitute in the item song of 'ki Aag'. Now what about the director Jaideep Sen? Well, did this film actually have a director? It looked like very bad improvisation by uninterested actors who were following a horrendously clichéd script. Don't be mislead by the cast. Avoid this one at all costs.

Well I am not sure what the director had in mind while making this, but at least I got crazy after watching this movie, and I needed a sari-don. Though Irrfan and Rajpal are quite good in the movie, the weakest link is the storyline which has nothing to offer. And what a waste of talent of Juhi Chawla and Suresh Menon.The movie promised to be good initially but it turned out to be pathetic, thanks to poor screenplay, non humorous dialogs and average direction.The only saving grace in the movie were the few songs it had- especially Sharukh's item no. and Hrithik in the end. Go watch it at your own risk.

Bollywood, it seems, is on a flop run after Jodhaa Akbar. Observe, One Two Three and Race (Yes, it was crap). I expected a slapstick comedy after looking at the promos of Krazzy 4, choosing this over the weeks other release, U Me aur Hum.The story is simple enough. Four 'mad' guys, are taken out on a field trip by their doctor. Doctor gets kidnapped, havoc ensues, or should I say, krazziness. Fullstop. Simple enough. Doesn't torture you like the 'come-sit-down-and-let-me-tell-you-how-I-planned-your-murder' way of Race.The mad people under question.. Krazzy a. Arshad playing Raja, a man suffering from sudden bouts of rage. Anger disorder. Krazzy b. Irrfan playing Dr. Mukherjee, suffering from obsessive compulsive disorder. He's a cleanliness freak who'll try to get dirt of the backside of a nurse's uniform. Krazzy c. Rajpal playing Gangadhar. He thinks he still lives in the Gandhian era. Vande Mataram. Krazzy d. Suresh playing Dabboo. Hasn't talked since he was four years old.Their doctor played to utter sweetness by Juhi Chawla. Don't think I'm being sarcastic. The places where Krazzy 4 succeed are its utter sweet moments. Apart from being extremely tenderly acted by everyone, it also isn't very long. Hardly an hour and fifty minutes. All four leads play their roles very efficiently. Rajpal being the one who offers the most laughs. Just wait till his ending speech. Irrfan Khan, the great actor that he is, gets a small role, easy for him to play. He plays this even more delicately. Suresh Menon, for a guy who hardly talks, is fun to watch. His expressions will get you laughing. Rajpal Yadav had me in splits every time he spoke. His way of delivery is such. Watch out for the scenes with 'Aazadi - 50% off' and the one with Gandhiji and Nehru. The backing actors, Rajat Kapoor, Dia Mirza, and the 'bad guys', serve their purpose well. The guy playing Dia's father deserves special mention. You've seen him before.The songs are merely there. No romantic hus-phus etc etc. Shah Rukh Khan has never looked better. Trust me. Stay back till the end to watch Hrithik too. The two music videos are sheer eye candy proving to us who the real pin-up boys of Bollywood really are. High point of the movie is where a little girl sings Jana Gana Mana. If the people in the hall stand up to attention to it, like they did in the show I went to, you'll feel good. Vande Mataram. I shall not go far enough to say Rakhi Sawant 'does not' look good in the music video, but I would have preferred Mallika Sherawat in it. The song is Beedi'ish, but not nearly good enough. And we finally did it people. They've written a song about One Rupee. An amazing one at that too. They've added everything, from Kajra re to Dum to Opera - style. Hilarious.Krazzy 4 tries the Munnabhai-way of entertainment, preaching about the ways of society and how people who are 'different' have no place in it. It misses the Munnabhai mark by a long shot. But it really doesn't matter. It's a sweet short movie. You could say it was made with a lot of care, and they promised us a sequel at the end. So, to be continued..7/10 for acting. 6/10 for the story. 6/10 for music. 6/10 for directing. 10/10 for the two pin-up boys. P.S.: Get Mallika to do an item number in the sequel.
