Strike Films and Prime Omkara Plus Productions’ Krispy Rishtey is the story of a marriage in which there is no love. Karan (Jagat Singh) gets married to Anjali (Diljot) because of pressure from his father. He actually loves Natasha (Manmeet Kaur). Although Anjali tries to be the ideal wife, Karan just doesn’t love her. One day, Anjali gets to know about Karan’s love for Natasha. Anjali has a friend, Vinod (Ronit Kapil). Sensing that Anjali and Vinod are in love, Karan wants to get them married so that he and Natasha can get married. The four of them go out of town together but what happens there? Finally, who lives happily ever after with whom?
Jagat Singh has written a story which can be described as a bit weird. His screenplay has elements of romance, comedy and emotions but they simply don’t add up. The ending is not convincing. Jagat Singh’s dialogues are ordinary.
Jagat Singh is okay as Karan. Diljot is so-so in the role of Anjali. Ronit Kapil is alright as Vinod. Manmeet Kaur delivers a fair performance as Natasha. Ravi Jhankal lends average support as Karan’s father. Brijendra Kala has his moments as Karan’s maternal uncle. Murali Sharma (as Ramlalaji), Shruti Ulfat (as Anjali’s mother), Ashok Kumar Beniwal (as Pandit Kripa Shankar Shastri) and Bhupesh Singh (as Karan’s friend, Kabir) are passable. Payal Wadhwa’s narration of the drama is routine. Others do as desired.
Jagat Singh’s direction is nothing worth shouting about. The film has an overdose of songs (music by Vijay Verma, Manoj Nayan, Apernit Singh, Shivang Upadhyay-Nishant Kamal Vyas, Nazakat-Shujat, Dhananjay Kherr) and they are all ordinary. Lyrics (Ajay K. Gang, Rajesh Manthan, Jagat Singh, Amitabh Ranjan, Anjaan Sagri, Anshul Vyas) are below average. Jagat Singh’s choreography is functional. Shivang Upadhyay’s background music should’ve been more impactful. Suhas Rajaram Mahadik’s cinematography is quite nice. Rahul Vichare’s production designing, and Shiva Kuppuswamy’s art direction pass muster. Jagat Singh and Afzal Shaikh’s editing ought to have been sharper.
On the while, Krispy Rishtey is a flop show.
