BURY THIS ONE DEEP.


HAS Sohail Khan Sohail Khan (Hindi, सोहेल ख़ान born December 20, 1970) is an Indian Bollywood actor, producer and director. He is the younger brother of actors Salman Khan and Arbaaz Khan.  ever seen a real kisaan ? Does Arbaaz Khan realise playing a suave lawyer requires a lot more than the two- and- half expressions he has mastered over his decade- plus Bollywood stint? Will Puneet Sira ever understand what ' film direction' is all about? These, and several such questions, nag you while watching Kisaan . For those who came in late, Sira's CV includes I Proud To Be An Indian and Jai- Veeru , films that easily leap to somewhere around the top in Bollywood's Worst- ever Films list.

This film rehashes Manoj Kumar's Upkar and is set in a remote village where the patriarchal head of a kisaan family ( Jackie Shroff n. 1. A banker, or changer of money. ) is trying to protect his land from an evil businessman.

The family's educated lawyer son ( Arbaaz) thinks of land as property and nothing else. His farmer brother ( Sohail), very much a son of the soil, won't allow the sale of his dharti maa . It's hackneyed stuff with a filmy finalE[umlaut umlaut (m`lout) [Ger.,=transformed sound], in inflection, variation of vowels of the type of English man to men. ] and it comes with loud melodrama melodrama [Gr.,=song-drama], originally a spoken text with musical background, as in Greek drama. The form was popular in the 18th cent., when its composers included Georg Benda, J. J. Rousseau, and W. A. Mozart, among others. , louder violence and some naach gaana . Avoid totally. Oh, and add Kisaan to that worst- ever list.
