Cast: Riteish Deshmukh, Tusshar Kapoor, Neha Sharma, Sarah Jane Dias
Ask for some storyline and you get a bunch of SMS jokes and some ancient amusing email forwards clubbed together to form a feeble plotline. So there is Adi (Tusshar Kapoor), an aspiring actor who believes that his stars will shine if he is with Simran (Neha Sharma) and they keep playing Kismat connection. And there is smalltime DJ Sid (Riteish Deshmukh) who falls for Anu (Sarah Jane Dias), whose wardrobe malfunction he was responsible for.
Until the premise shifts Goa where the girls get a chance to emerge out of the sea in bikinis and even Tusshar Kapoor decides to get (his) 'back' in action. Adi is under the impression that Simran is a lesbian and Anu assumes Sid to be gay. Amidst all this supposed homosexuality, a pug is impregnating bitches left, right and center.
Compared to the 7-year old prequel, the sequel has somewhat streamlined story flow though that's not saying much. With no crudity in picture, this sex-comedy largely relies on double-meaning dailogues to incite humour. Writer-director Sachin Yardi refers to the age-old stock of adult jokes, one might have comes across from their school to social-media days. With scarcity of sex-comedies, most of these gags are unused in cinema yet will be acknowledged by most men, in general. Every second line in the film has a double-innuendo and wherever there isn't, it's a sad PJ. At times, the dialogues even define a scene.
But beyond the hall-of-fame humour, the film also cracks jokes on several topical elements from Commissioner Dhoble to a nymphomaniac dog that conveys its lust in Akshay Kumar style from Housefull 2. A movie-memorabilia enthusiast has everything from Vicky Donor's sperm container to Delhi Belly's orange juice. And the most original one is a dig on Sunny Leone. Needless to add, there are gay gags in abundance, of which Riteish's mid-air homosexual encounter is hilarious.
The film occasionally drags in the second half and one mushy number, in the otherwise multicoloured sound-n-dance sequences, seems out of place. Thankfully, Riteish Deshmukh gets a better billing in the second half with a meatier subplot while Tusshar's track getting one-dimensional. The production values of the movie often seem substandard. Goa never looks glossy and despite the endless youthful potential, the frame never seems flamboyant or funky. And imagine... a spoof on Devdas is shot in a public transport bus! Rather than the dig, Bhansali would die of the canvas downsizing.
Like the insufficiency of technical finesse, Yardi intermittently falls slack on the film's comic timing. From Rohit Shetty's pointless cameo, Anupam Kher's fascination for Progeria prototypes from Paa to Kavin Dave's forced sleepwalking subplot, the director incorporates elements that do not contribute much to the central track or comedy.
When it comes to comedy, Riteish Deshmukh is expected to rule supreme and overshadow everyone. So is the case here with him getting the best of scenes, lines and gags. Tusshar Kapoor doesn't match up to him (the comparison is inevitable) but still manages to stand on his own. Both female leads, Sarah Jane Dias and Neha Sharma look hot but some better cinematography could have made them look sizzling. Anupam Kher is animated but suits the part.
Kyaa Super Kool Hai Hum might not be the best sex-comedy ever. But then how many of the rare species do we have in Bollywood? So support the cause and enjoy as long as it lasts.
