    Of horses and heroines..

    Kaarnaama review :

    Noted villain Ranjeets home production; Kaarnaama was a love triangle involving Vinod Khanna, Kimi Katkar and Farha Naaz with horse racing as back drop. Ranjeet seemed inspired by Feroz Khan's style of filmmaking as Kaarnaama was slick, technically sound and lavishly mounted production with a wafer thin plot. It also had a love scene between Vinod and Kimi picturised underwater. A first of sorts!! The one glaring flaw I could find in the movie was Vinod was too heavy weight to play a jockey. Though he looked stunning as ever.

    Unfortunately, the westernised movie, even with its share of merits, could not strike a chord with the desi audience and it flopped badly at the box office. Released at Mumbai's Maratha Mandir cinema, Kaarnaama lasted only a couple of weeks entailing heavy losses. Ranjeet made one more film called Gajab Tamaasa (1992) later but that turned out to be a bigger flop than Kaarnaama.

    Regards, Sumeet Nadkarni.

      Finally this film started in 1986, after Vinod Khanna came back from U.S.A. also in the cast, Sunil Dutt and Shashi Kapoor were also in this film. Then Shashi Kapoor role was done by Satyen Kapoo. Ranjeet child was also in the film and major part of the film was shot at Ranjeet's farm. The first day shooting of this film began at night at Ranjeet's farm with the picturisation of a song on Vinod Khanna and Kimi Katkar, Vinod Khana wore a blue shiny shirt and looked very handsome. This was before the release of his comback film Insaaf release.
