 B-Town has witnessed similar recitals as ‘KISAAN’ that dealt with enkindled bucolic crisis. Nonetheless, Puneeth Sira apart from penning from a substantial script lurches down on presenting them over the screens. KISAAN brings back the same-pattered crisis of peasants we had earlier.
When it comes down to ‘Khan’ brothers, the duo tries to prove something on unparalleled grounds deviated from their previous attempts of clichéd commercial formulas. Regrettably, nothing works better for this talented actor as they’re spotted carelessly rendering their part in unstrained manner.
On whole, KISAAN fails to engross everyone apart from a perplexing idea that Puneeth tries to project here.
Dayal Singh (Jackie Shroff), a widower who's immersed in the legacy of his ancestral lands as he raises two very different sons; Aman, (Arbaaz Khan) is formally schooled to become a city based lawyer while Jigar (Sohail Khan) through lack of funds and inclination towards anything other than farming is kept by his father’s side.
When Sohan Seth (Dalip Tahil), a shrewd businessman, convinces many beleaguered farmers to sell their lands for his commercial interests some by using the violent tactics of the village's heavy hand, Nirmal (Romeo) it shatters the harmony of village life, and Dayal's family is jeopardized. Dayal Singh and his sons are locked into a battle of right; each is focused on their path to success. The brother's are pitted against each other with a different outlook of land and its value as the crisis in the village unfolds. The ground at their feet, is it Motherland or simply Property?
 It spin tails them down a direction they can never return from, leading to a shocking turn of events as their women Priya (Dia Mirza) and Titli (Nauheed Cyrusi) add to the drama and conflict. In the struggle of land and brotherhood, tragedy befalls forcing each man to re-examine his convictions.
Trust us, the film overwhelms with unbounded blatant flaws. The most ludicrous part is where we see none of the members from ‘Singh’ family able to enunciate the Punjabi slang. Puneeth should’ve better trained them well on mastering the linguistic factor or else opt with actors well-versed it. Violence on the pars does turn us down nettlesome. Oops, each and every farmer in village is trained with ‘Dishyum-Dishyum’ fights with their axes and sickles.
Possibly, these junior artists can try their luck out in Hollywood’s forthcoming war based films.
Crediting remarks for the star-casts of KISAAN indeed never turns to be a great deal. Sparing Jackie Shroff, everyone disappoint us on their show. Sohail Khan is okay on his part where he tries to prove his adeptness. But nothing works with Arbaaz Khan and rest of the crew.
Forget about technical aspects. Except some eye-catching visuals, there’s nothing much to appreciate either about music or other aspects.
KISAAN would’ve been an interesting film to watch if Puneeth had worked severely for a gripping screenplay and better casting.
Verdict: Forget it…
