So let's talk about this version of Karz (1980) 1st - The is the best thing I've seen Rishi Kapoor in. I had no idea that Om Shanti Om had anything to do with Karz while I was watching Karz 2008. Om Shanti Om is basically a reimagining of Karz 1980 by Farah Khan. I tell you all this because it's impossible for me to review this movie without referencing the other 2 movies since they are all related. Keep in mind, I already thought she was brilliant. And now that I've seen the original Karz - I have a much better understanding of Farah's brilliance. And I had no idea until just now - having just finished watching Karz 1980. In fact, Om Shanti Om is clearly Farah's reimagining of the story. Why is this important? Because - Farah Khan - who directed Om Shanti Om - borrowed heavily from Karz 1980 for Om Shanti Om. The other thing you need to know is that the only Hindi language movie I own on blue ray is Om Shanti Om. Which is always a fun geek experience - if you like the story, which I do. For me, viewing this movie was an exercise in seeing someone else's vision of this story play out. But it also meant - I already knew the story and how it was going to play out. Please be aware, I watched Karz 2008 (which is a remake of this movie) before seeing this version of the story.
