Karobaar (General Movie ,2000) Starring

Review
After the grand success of Kaho Na Pyar Ha, expectations from Rakesh Roshan are soaring high. However his next flick as a director is
not his own production.
After being in the process of making for years, Karobaar, produced by Yash Chopra’s brother-in-law Gava, finally hit the turnstiles
last Friday.
The movie, in fact, went on floors, much before Kaho Na Pyar Hai was launched. But, the film had been trundling ahead at a snails
pace, getting frequently stalled for financial reasons more than any other.
The film stars Anil Kapoor, Rishi Kapoor and Juhi Chawla in a triangular romantic tangle. Anil plays a rich business tycoon Rajiv
Sinha who thinks about everything in pecuniary terms, treats love as business, and believes that money can buy him Seema’s (Juhi
Chawla) love.
To this end he showers her with expensive gifts and tries to impress her with his affluent lifestyle, but to no use. For Juhi’s heart
throbs for Amar Saxena (Rishi Kapoor) who doesn’t care a fig for money and deems love as priceless.
Rajiv’s love is spurned when Seema marries Amar. The twist in the story comes when Amar has an accident and Seema approaches Rajiv for
help to pay off the hospital bills. She even makes Rajiv an indecent proposal, which he spurns and helps her without any conditions.
Rishi ‘Flabby’ Kapoor is seen on the big screen after a long break, thanks to this much-delayed film. It is also hoped that the film
will revive fresh interest in Juhi, whom the critics dub as a fading phenomenon.
Karobaar carries the hangover of Chopra’s early 90s production Vijay which had Anil and Rishi in almost similar roles.
The film has some ear-catching tunes by Rajesh Roshan and meaningful lyrics by Javed Akhtar. Many sequences in the film are shot on
exotic locales in South Africa, Sun City, Kenya and India.
Rakesh Roshan was in a dilemma on releasing Karobaar as he feared that the movie's quaint look might not take to the fancy of
cinegoers.
