Kisna Trailers

The film is set in the India of the tumultuous 1930's when nationalists fighting for the country's independence rose up as one, urging the British to quit. At this time, a young Indian, Kisna befriends and then shields a British girl Katherine, from an enraged mob of nationalists including Kisna's own uncle and brother. Katherine is the young daughter of a ruthless British collector. Kisna takes it upon himself to escort Katherine to the safety of the British High Commission in New Delhi, who will arrange for her to board a ship home. A tender attraction develops between Kisna and Katherine during the journey, a love story that is torn between 'Karma' (the noble deed) and 'Dharma' (the duty). Laxmi, the Indian girl Kisna is engaged to, forms the third point in an emotional triangle involving the Indo-British romantic pair

Reviews
Boobirt Stylish but barely mediocre overall
CrawlerChunky In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.
Invaderbank The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.
Myron Clemons A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.
patrick-kelmer The Movie tells the story about an girl(Antonia Bernhardt) their grown up in Uttaranchal in the 1930's.Her Father sent her to London,and 1947 she come back to India. She falls in Love With her Childhout Friend Kisna(Vivek Oberoi).... The Story is about A love between an British Girl and an Indian Boy Around the 1947 Independence. Excellent Movie!!!!! *~*~*One of Best Movies Ever!!!!!!!!!!*~*~*~* The débutant's in the Movie are Antonia Bernhardt(Hindi Debut!!!) and Isha Sharvani(Film Debut). The Soundtrack is Very Nice.... The First song is Mujhme Shiv Hai(sung by Alka Yagnik and Sukhwinder Singh).The Song Hum Hai Is Pal is SO good,i love it!And the Mujra Song Chilman Uthegi Nahin(danced by Sushmita Sen).And the Last song is My Wish Comes True is so good.
february-1970 Kisna is one of the most awful movies that I have seen...No thank you to some of the people who wrote good comments about this movie.It's a sheer waste of time and energy to sit through this load of crap, even if someone offers you a free screening or DVD of this movie...please,please AVOID IT. There is Nothing Good to write about this movie.I wish I had a Time Machine to get back my few hours that I wasted watching this JUNK. Anyone who watches this movie will consider Indian Cinema to be a Big Joke and movie making at it's unprofessional and non-artistic best. How I wish IMDb had negative marking and I would have rated this movie at -10 out of 10
sa_malik07 I have recently watched 'Kisna: The Warrior Poet' at the theater, and i must say these reviews i have read about are seriously garbage. Kisna is a beautiful love story, and is a great film altogether. Sure the acting staff wasn't as strong in the 'name power' of things, but WHO CARES....if u have actors that are not known, it doesn't matter as long as they do well. My advice to all of you that are reading this review after reading all others is to watch the movie, because i loved it, Antonia and Vivek are going places and after this movie you'll know itIt's just plain beautiful, just them looking into each other's eyes is sexy, just the kind of feeling you need in a love story, follow Kisna as he goes in the paths of 'Dharma' and 'Karma'....Though if one thing has failed in this movie it was the late Amresh Puri, his last film was no big phenom acting wise, but Kisna is a film to remember, and hey i didn't even think about falling asleep during the 3 hours it was on, or the songs, it is unforgettable, if you got a girl......take her to see Kisna, i think she'll love you for it ;)!
Herag Halli Some producers like Gowariker (Swades), Bhansali (Black) mature with each film and "Kisna" is a fine example of how a producer the caliber of Subhash Ghai sink with each film to the point of decadence. The Story is a figment of fiction in Ghai's mind. Only in his mind do we see "Lady Catherine" (when did she get knighted? did I miss this Ceremony?) donating enormous amount of money (like zillions of crores) to charity, still she has some loose change left for the child dancers. Only in his mind do we see Kisna, killing his kith and Kin because he promised his mother that he would get Catherine to Delhi-but I missed the part where his mother told him to sing romantic duets on the way. At one point he says he is saving Catherine from the evil Prince-which one is it? or do we care at this point? Ghai, who is credited for the story and direction, makes a mess of both. The direction is disjointed. The Debutante,. Isha Sherwani, is incredibly co-ordinated (if Ghai, has his way, her Career will be on hold meditating at the end of the rope.) She and Hrithik Roshan would make a great dancing couple in a Musical, if only a good producer could take a hint. Antonia Bernath must have graduated from the "Aishwarya Rai School of dramatic acting". She speaks Hindi with a Cockney accent-and this get to be painful and ridiculous after a while. Vivek Oberoi, this guy has no Screen presence for a leading part, he should confine to playing hoodlums in movies like "Company". The music is good-specially the last duet is an absolute melody. The Production values are good as in a Ghai Film, but everything else is atrocious.
