Woman Power continues this year after Rani and Vidya got Justice for KILLER JESSICA, here Priyanka does Justice in Killing her Husbands! And before you frame her for Murder, Think Twice! Or rather Thrice.. Oops Seven Times!
Its the story of SAATHALI (like, Draupadi got tagged Panchali)... There has been no lady in the history so far who has had the liberty to marry, remarry and be a widow 7 times. Voila! Bride Priyanka goes 'I do' and 'Khabool Hai' as its 'Shaadi Mubarak' for her. These Marriages Are NOT made in Heaven, for sure! As I have to put it, definitely not in HISTORY and Piggy got this wonderful opportunity to exhibit her body to 7 Men, young and old, Indian and Russian men and hence, the only Indian Woman in the History of Cinema to have 7 costars opposite her. Its another Feather in her cap, after she playing 12 Star Signs in WHATS YOUR RASHEE.. Here, Priyanka (playing a single role but varies from her teenage to old age - thus having 7 shades to her colorful character)
The Husbands (Niel Nitin Mukesh, John Abraham, Irffan Khan, Aleksandr Dyachenko, Annu Kapoor, Naseeruddin Shah and Vivan Shah) BED with her and then they are DEAD! RED! BLOOD! but not galore! Oops.. this is not RGV's Blood Story (read, Raktha Charitra)! As it was Blood with Violence, Vishal's film is Blood with Violins! An opera style a la, Bhansali Films! Like Vishal's canvas here is with the Anglo-Indian generals, candle-lit Victorian interiors, grandeur weddings, soulful funerals and rustic churches.
Coming back to KHOON, its unbelievable that a Catholic Girl gets a chance to marry 3 Christian Men, 2 Muslim Men and 2 Hindu Men. No Bishop or Pope will ever give such permission anywhere! But, its Vishal Bharadwaj (the Pope) who grants wedding to Suzanna whose 7 Husbands are: Major Edwin Rodrigues, Jimmy Stetson, Wasiullah Khan, Nicolai Vronsky, Keemat Lal, Dr. Modhusudon Tarafdar and Arun. One by one, the SEVEN go to HEAVEN (or rather HELL) as our 'Darrrrlingggg' gives them Freedom from life and grants Death to them unwillingly! Its Death with Style that she gets to SLEEP and then SWEEP them away! Its Love, Sex and Dhoka that goes with further ingredients of Lust, Poison, Vengeance, Doubt, Thrills, Chills and Kills! Piggy gets to Chop everyone, but before you say to her: MURDERER! Wait! As her 7 Killings are Validated. Point to be Noted and re-thought about.
Well, if such is the case of a wife killing her selfish, womanizer, molester and a doubtful husband - then no doubt, Indian women will use Priyanka Chopra as their role model who have suffered from their husbands and may take such bold step! And before someone does that: Statutory Warning: This is a film with fiction and nothing to be considered original!
Hence, watch it for Priyanka Chopra's Award Winning Performance and the Dark Shade Comedy Thriller!
Final Verdict: Go for it, as its Priyanka on the Kill! As for Box office Verdict: Who cares?
