KHUNNAS | 7 February, 2020

Audiolab Media Corporation and Aryan Cine Entertainment’s Khunnas (A) is the story of revenge.

Deva Mahto, brother of MLA Paras Mahto, is jealous of and resents the love affair between Soumya and Nayra. They all study in the same college. Deva follows Soumya, Nayra and their friends when they go to Manali. Deva reaches there with his friends and gets into a major fight with Soumya. What happens thereafter?

Mukesh Raaj Singh’s story and screenplay are as kiddish and senseless as can be. Even his dialogues are dull.

Performances are juvenile. Meghna Saxena and Naresh Sharma are not material for the lead pair. Deva Mahto is weak. Mukesh Raaj Singh fails to impress. Swati Sharma, Amarendra Vidyarthi, Talim Shah, Santosh Roy, Ram Kunwar, Kumar Satyen and Palak Khan lend dull support.

Mukesh Raaj Singh’s direction is bad. Music (Bikramjit Ranjha and Amey Nare) is below the mark. Lyrics (Munilal Ram, Kewal Shah and Babulal) hardly deserve special mention. Sanjay Chaudhary’s choreography is functional. Saurabh-Gaurav’s background music lacks impact. Rahul Saxena’s camerawork is below-average. Action and stunt scenes, choreographed by Prince Mishra, are not thrilling. Adya Yadav’s editing is loose.

On the whole, Khunnas is a flop show.

Released on 7-2-’20 at Glamour (daily 1 show) and another cinema of Bombay thru Zaa Films International. Publicity & opening: poor. …….Also released all over.
