Kucch To Hai is thrilling nor is it decent for its own genre, the once again beaten up young romantic style of music.
It surely lends insight as to how this supposed ´re-make´ of ''I Know What You Did Last Summer'' Balaji Films Ltd.'s KUCCH TO HAI, directed by Anil V. Kumar and Anurag Bose, is a director.
The music is highly unappealing and sort of a turn off for those expecting an experimental soundtrack.
The first half of the murder mystery starts off quite well. A few sequences in the college and the light moments do bring a smile on your face. Even the turning point in the narrative is well executed. Although the first half is slightly lengthy, it nevertheless makes for decent entertainment.
Besides a wrong ending, the writer hasn't even developed the character of the supposedly dead character, who swears vengeance on the college students. In the first place, why does he wait for three long years to strike, remains a mystery.
Anu Malik's music is the only saving grace. The film has a mix of tuneful and foot-tapping numbers and the picturisation of a few of them is first-rate. Dialogues are just about okay. The snow-capped locales are eye-filling.
Tusshar is Sweet. Esha Deol shows improvement in terms of performance as well as her overall appearance in the film.
New-find Natassha looks sweet, but cannot carry off a difficult role. Shifting the focus on her in the climax was not required. Amongst the friends, Vrajesh Hirjee is the best, providing ample relief. Johny Lever has a couple of scenes done very well.
Rishi Kapoor is least convincing. Also, he could've done with a better look. Jeetendra is so-so.
Merging a love triangle with a murder mystery was a good idea, but this aspect misfires in the second half. The reasons are plenty.
